Sister Mary
Episode 11
“a colleague just called, demanding for a file i forgot at the office. I have to go get it quickly” I lied to her. She slowly got up from my body without saying anything else.
“You can wait for me here” i smiled, got up from the chair and rushed to my room where i quickly dressed and hurried out of my apartment without saying anything else to an obviously stunned Mary.
My intention was really to run into Chioma at the gate and it happened just as i expected.
As i headed out from my apartment and rushed towards my car, i ran into chioma on the way. She stopped with a smile.
“are you going out?” she asked curiously,
“yes i have an appointment with my mechanic, i’m almost late” i replied seriously. She couldn’t believe her ears.
“but i told you that i was coming for a talk, or is your mechanic now more important to you?” she asked with disbelief.
“hmmm i can’t believe this question is coming from the person who kicked me out yesterday” i grinned.
“and what’s that supposed to mean?” she asked with a raised tone.
“if you are serious about this talk, then follow me to the car” i commanded and left. She hesitated for a moment before coming after me. Together we headed out of the compound in my car. She never noticed how relieved and happy i was that she fell for my trick.
I stopped at the mechanic’s shop which was just a pole away from where i lived, bought a galon of engine oil plus a tin of oil treatment, returned to the car with my purchases, switched on the engine and drove towards a cute restaurant nearby.
“you didn’t see the mechanic or what?” she asked suspiciously,
“yeah” i murmured without any further explanation until we got to my destination. I stopped the car, l####d my lips and smiled at her.
“we can go inside and discuss as much as you want” i winked, opened the car door and alighted. She hissed, alighted and followed me.
__
We really had a very serious discussion inside the restaurant. She demanded to know everything and i was forced to open up to her, finally hiding nothing.
The shock on her face was quite alarming as i narrated everything. She trembled and coloured up as she listened.
“oh goodness me, i’m shocked as hell. What guarrantee do i have that you won’t do the same to me. Oh how wicked can you be?, the poor girl is definetly hurting and to think that you are back with her just to hurt her more is so disgusting. No i can’t take this s##t” she cried and ran out on me after my story.
I watched her leave without going after her. She wanted the truth and i told her, which truly left me with a satisfying inner peace. However i felt she was gone for real.
I quietly finished my drink, left the restaurant and headed to my apartment where Mary was waiting for me. The last thing i wanted was allowing her spend the night with me.
Her face wasn’t bright when i returned. She frowned expecting me to apologize to her, but unfortunately i wasn’t in a good mood. All i wanted was to rest.
“the way you are treating me isn’t right at all. You are behaving as if i’m forcing myself on you” she complained as if she didn’t know the obvious, but before i could answer, my phone rang. It was Jboy calling.
“o boy!, i thought you told me you were coming?. Wetin come happen?” he asked,
“guy time still dey nau, haba. I’m coming” i answered,
“abeg show for gate. I’m at the front of your house, waiting in my car. Hurry i don’t have all the time in the world” he commanded and hung up. I smiled and drew close to Mary.
“we have a lot to discuss but it will be tomorrow. I’ll come to your house by 3pm. I’m about going somewhere with Jboy, but you should come along. I’ll beg him to drop you at your house” i seriously said to her.
She simply shrugged without another word, went to my bedroom, brushed up herself and came out to the sitting room three minutes later.
Together we headed out of my apartment to meet Jboy who was extremely surprised to see her.
“hmmm who am i seeing?” he laughed politely, eyeing Mary as we entered his car.
Suddenly from nowhere a black Sienna car stopped in front of us. Three guys jumped out in a commando style with Ak47 rifles.
“Jesus” Mary screamed in panic,
“get out from the car. Fast fast” they screamed at us, cocking their guns in the process..
Mary and i quickly obeyed and jumped out of the vehicle, but Jboy wasn’t so lucky.
As he nervously made to unfasten his seat belt one of the bandits misunderstood his intention and fired two rounds of fire-power on him without warning.
He instantly went unconscious. I couldn’t believe it was real.
Episode 12
“hey wetin?” one of the bandits shouted at the guy who shot Jboy, while i shivered as i looked on speechlessly. I really was scared they were equally going to shoot Mary and I because the shots fired on Jboy was very surprising to me, but as i watched the other two bandits, it seemed they were equally as surprised as i was. It clearly showed in their behaviour. Of course they had their faces covered but their body language displayed their confusion. Mary and i simply stood not knowing what to do.
The guy who fired the shots made to drag Jboy’s body out of the vehicle but his colleague who asked the first question stopped him.
“you don mess up the car already, make we shift jor. Time no dey” he commanded, turned and jumped into the sienna car they came with. The two other bandits joined him without uttering a word and they instantly zoomed off, disappearing and leaving us all alone with my lifeless friend. I quickly rushed to check on him but unfortunately he was as unconsious as a dead lizard, while bl0*d gushed out from his chest. It was a terrible scene to behold.
Some good samaritans quickly came forward and helped us in taking him to a private hospital nearby. Unfortunately the nurses on duty confirmed him dead, but i choosed not to believe them until the doctor showed up few minutes later and confirmed the news to us.
I couldn’t believe Jboy was gone for real. The only friend i had, gone so suddenly. I never believed life could be so short and surprising. I never believed a strong man like him can just so suddenly disappear. I cried ceaselessly.
“where do i go from here?” i wondered, feeling very bitter and responsible over the whole event.
“only if he had waited for me at his house” i reasoned.
“how do i continue living without him?, how do i face his family. How did he just go so suddenly, without living anything behind? Not even a child or at least a wife” i reasoned with tears.
I sat down in front of the hospital reception and went through my life. I wasn’t any better than him but he was taken away while my life was spared.
Why why why?
The task of meeting Jboy’s family, burial arrangement and everyother thing was squarely on me. I just couldn’t find where to begin, how to start or which way to go about it all. I was so lost and empty.
Mary wanted to lend me a supporting hand. She promised to help me with everything, but i simply refused to oblige her, instead asked her to give me a little time.
I pleaded with her to stay away from me for the meantime which greatly surprised her. She couldn’t believe her ears as i made the passionate plea just a day after Jboy’s unfortunate death.
“no you can’t be making such a request right now. You need me. We need each other. We need to help each other out of this trauma” she protested seriously, failing to realise that the trauma itself increased my disdain towards her. In a way i blamed her for my friend’s death because if she hadn’t been in my apartment that fateful day nor delayed us with her toilet perhaps Jboy wouldn’t have been attacked.
“well i have no choice than to honour your request, if it will make you better” she finally agreed when she saw how serious i was, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief before walking away. I felt her anguish but i just couldn’t do anything about it.
I summoned up courage and called Chioma soon after. It really was my first time of calling her after she unceremoniously left me at the restaurant hours before Jboy’s death.
I quietly revealed the news to her. She instantly screamed with shock.
“oh bl0*dy hell!, and you are just telling me about it after how many hours huh?. I’m coming over” she cried and hung up while i hopefully waited for her.
Learning that she was coming sort of lightened up my spirit. Till today i really can’t describe the kind of love i felt and still feel for her.
Thirty minutes later she showed up at my apartment with tears in her eyes. She instantly hugged me, crying seriously.
“i can’t believe Jboy is gone. He was such a wonderful friend. I could have lost you too. Karma is now on you guys.It’s a pity Jboy paid with his life. You have to seek peace with God urgently” she cried, sending more fear into my troubled heart.
“do you?, do you believe in karma?, does it exist?” i stammered.
“of course the evil that men do often comes back to them. You see i wasn’t wrong condenming what you did to that lady. You have to seek peace with God my dear” she summarized seriously, while i nervously made the sign of the cross.
“could she be right?” i asked myself over and over. my9jarocks.info
Episode 13
Believe me, It really wasn’t easy meeting Jboy’s parents who were so alarmed and bitter over their son’s death. I had to play a role i have never played in my life.
I tried to best to console them especially his mother who cried uncontrollably. I made promises too hard for me to handle. I promised to foot the mortuary bills and arrange for his funeral without thinking deep on the effect it will have on the little money i had left. I guess i was overcome with grief that very moment to think properly.
However the pain of losing their son never stopped them from asking prying questions, they virtually asked every necessary question to the extent of asking if he was engaged to anyone. I answered all the questions with great intelligence, making sure my answers were accurate and less upsetting. We really had a long discussion before they headed home, leaving me with the huge task of organising my friend’s burial just like i promised.
Seriously i never believed i would be the one burying Jboy In just a short length of strong friendship. Well that was his fate, such a bad one. He never got to enjoy life like he wanted.
Yea i was so depressed over the whole thing, but as a young guy i stood strong like a warrior while on the inside i shook like a frightened school girl.
Seeking peace with God was such a good idea but i just wasn’t ready because i was yet to find a way to wrap things up with Mary. I couldn’t go asking God to forgive and take me back while still nursing a deadly feeling for another person.
If as Chioma said, ‘karma was the force behind it all. Then i could be the next. so be it”
It really wasn’t as if i was ready to sacrifice my life so easily but who am i to fight karma or any dark force coming for me. The only solution i could think of was speeding up my plans for Mary and when it’s all over seek peace with God if i wasn’t dead by then….. So were the things in my mind as i drove over to Mary’s house for the discussion i promised her the previous day. my9jarocks.info
Oh and i forgot to add that I sincerely wouldn’t want anyone not even an enemy to be in my position.
Mary welcomed me happily when i got to her apartment. She gave me her usual killing hug before letting me in.
“i have rice, i have soup, what’s your choice?” she asked with a smile,
“just a cup of water please” i replied with a nervous smile. She quietly served me without asking any further question.
“so how are you dealing with Jboy’s stuff?” she asked curiously after a while. I breathed deeply and quietly told her almost everything that needed to be told.
“you are really a good person. You know some friends will simply move on without bothering to help” she said with admiration while i nodded and cleared my throat.
“so about the discussion i promised you. I’m now ready for it” i opened the topic bravely.
My new plan was to find a way of telling her a bit of the truth concerning my real feelings just like Chioma wanted even though i knew it was far from being easy. Since Jboy wasn’t available anymore and i had the slightest clue on how to carry on with the old plan alone. I had no choice than to restrategize.
“fine, alright” she breathed slowly, her expression quickly growing more serious.
“you know i have been indifferent to you since i got out of jail?” i murmured. She nodded curiously.
“it’s just as a result of the things that have happened between us these past few weeks. I can’t really explain further but do believe that I’m trying hard to reciprocate your love and everything. But it isn’t easy for me, so don’t just expect anything more for now” i poured out hesitantly while she stared at me with shock.
“you are kidding me right?, i don’t understand a word of what you just said?” she asked hotly, her colour rapidly changing.
“The promises i made while in jail was simply for you to drop the case and set me free, that notwithstanding, i do care for you from the bottom of my heart” i pleaded to calm her down,
“i still don’t get you, but i think i’m beginning to understand” she hissed with pain.
“so our relationship was never meant to be. You just came to take advantage of me like other guys huh. Now i understand, the breakup, pregnancy, abortion, get together and promises were just a ploy” she cried, while i freaked out.
I quickly regreted following Chioma’s advice. It was all wrong opening up to her so soon without being prepared for the resultant effect..
“Sometimes doing the right thing is not always right” i reasoned.
I quickly drew close and held her.
“please be reasonable and understand me. Those were my feelings for you but everything has now changed because i’m trying hard to love you. At least you can appreciate my honesty” i poured out solemnly.
“is our story really going to have a happy ending?, should i move on with my life?” she asked bitterly while i swallowed hard.
“please answer me, do i still have hope with you?, or am i simply wasting the little time i have left?” she asked seriously, her eyes melting with grief and disappointment. I was suddenly faced with a difficult question.
Yes it was difficult because my answer will definetly define the next stage of our relationship.
Unfortunately, i chickened out.

Episode 14
“there is hope dear. There is still hope for us” i lied feebly. She stared into my eyes, trying to read me.
“but you shouldn’t expect anything for now. I need time, i need a little space to pick my life together” i added convincingly.
“i’ll give you all the time you need but just don’t disappoint me” she said with a heavy tone which showed how pained she was.
I left her apartment minutes later, furious with myself. I couldn’t believe i ended up not doing exactly what i visited her to do. I was still battling with my thoughts when my phone rang. It was Chioma calling.
“hey, how are you?” i greeted,
“fine, where are you?” she asked,
“driving home” i answered.
“i called to remind you that my birthday is tomorrow. I know you have forgotten huh” she said with a lively tone while i gasped.
“of course, i forgot dear. Thanks for reminding me. I love you” i said with joy. She simply laughed and hung up.
I quickly changed direction and headed to a bank closeby where i withdrew some money, bought a bunch of flowers from a shop down the road before heading to a jewellery shop to get something big for her. I ended up buying an expensive necklace and matching ear rings. I equally bought a very cool ring which i intended to use as an engagement ring.
I planned giving her a whole lot of surprise the next day….
As normal with most guys, i had a very restless night thinking about my future, thinking about Chioma and asking myself if she was the best girl for me. I kept tossing around on my bed till 6am the next morning, when I quickly dressed up and headed to her apartment without notifying her.
The shock in her eyes showed how surprised she was when she opened her door for me.
“happy birthday” i greeted with a sweet smile, as i handed her the well scented bunch of flowers.
“oh my God” she gasped with joy, held the flowers with her right hand and hugged me with the other.
“thank you she whispered” before taking the flowers to the center table in her sitting room where she carefully dropped them. As she turned to face me, i brought out the jewellery case and gave to her.
“you deserve much more dearest” i murmured as i handed the case to her. She quickly opened it, screamed with joy and hugged me again.
“i have never had such a surprising birthday” she exclaimed as she went through the precious stones i bought. Slowly she fetched out the engagement ring which i cleverly added into the case, brought it up and stared at me with a curious surprise. my9jarocks.info
“so my love, what do you have to say about that. Do you agree to be with me till the end, do you accept being the mother of my children? WILL YOU MARRY ME” i proposed with a nervous smile.
“oh my God” she screamed with joy, her eyes shone with great excitement.
“please say something. Will you marry me?” i asked again,
“oh yes yes yes yes yes yes” she sang with happiness. I l####d my lips, took the ring from her and calmly slid it into her third finger,
“you are forever mine, my love” i breathed while she smiled and kissed me with great intensity.
I was so happy over the action i took. I felt it was one of the best decisions i have ever made in my life.
“once Jboy’s burial is over, i’ll meet her family and start up the marriage proceedings” i reasoned.
“my love, you know we are almost late for work, or do you have other plans?” she asked, bringing my wandering mind back with her question.
“yeah you have to get your things because you arn’t spending the night here. We got to celebrate your birthday and our engagement. Double fun huh?” i said with a smile. She rolled her eyes, breathing deeply.
“so where are we going?” she asked,
“first we go to the office from there we head to a nice restaurant, after which we wrap it up in a hotel” i suggested, licking my lips.
“oh no, i beg to disagree. Spending a quiet evening with you is all i need, and your apartment is enough for that. We don’t need a hotel or restaurant my love. Moreover you have many responsibilities with little money, i havn’t even asked how you plan on pulling it all off” she said seriously with a slight frown. I looked into her eyes with great love.
“okay the hotel is cancelled, but the evening in a restaurant isn’t” i pleaded.
“whatever” she smiled with a shrug. I drew close and kissed her.
We finally went to the office like a newly wedded couple, wasting no time in announcing the great news to our colleagues. They were all happy for us.
My only regret was that Jboy wasn’t there to share my happiness and i really felt bad and guilty thinking about it.
By 4:30pm, Chioma and I left the office and headed to a newly built restaurant at the other end of the town. The scenery was superbly cool, quiet and awesome. Exactly the kind of environment i wanted.
“so tell me the truth, what suddenly made you propose to me?” Chioma asked with a cute curious smile after we had settled down for a wonderful meal. As i made to answer, my attention instantly got drawn to a lady walking into the restaurant. She equally noticed my stare and frowned as our eyes met. She was no other person than Mary’s obnoxious senior sister.
Episode 15
Mary’s sister” I whispered to Chioma who intelligently followed my eyes.
“hmmm are you scared?” she asked, reaching for my hand across the table.
“of course not. Just surprised” i answered with a dry laugh. She scoffed and cracked a silly joke which made me laughing out.
Mary’s sister simply, ordered a drink, sat a distance away from us and kept throwing her eyes on me. There wasn’t any doubt She clearly noticed the affectionate display going on between Chioma and I. However she did nothing than only to keep her eyes on us until an elderly gentleman who she probably had a date with joined her minutes later.
Chioma and i had a very magicial, s#x filled night when we returned to my apartment later in the evening.
We had a quick shower together, before ending up on the bed for an all night s#x.
Our night of passion was really one of a kind. Hot, super and explosive. I gave it to her with all my strength while she recieved all i gave out with joyful abandon. We totally satisfied each other.
“you know from this moment, we are into everything together. No more secrets. No more double dealings” she whispered into my ear after the second round of s#x. I smiled lazily and nodded.
She sat up, played with my d.ick for a while, slid a rubber on it and lowered her K###y over it, sitting on my groin.
“and no more dirty games or cheating” she added seriously as she took me back to wonder-land.
We woke up the next morning, very weak and sleepy. I lazily turned to face her and was surprised to see her eyes were on me.
“how are you my love?” i greeted. She breathed deeply and smiled.
“i don’t feel like going out today” she replied sweetly. I kissed her forehead passionately.
Just that moment, my door bell rang, leaving me with a deep sigh.
“c’mon it’s 7:30am, who could it be?” i asked angrily,
“I guess it’s Mary. It’s quite Logical she will come rushing to see you. Her sister must have told her about us” she said calmly. I said nothing, dressed up and went to the entrance door.
Just like Chioma said, it was no other person than Mary. She stared at me with a coloured dry face as i opened the door, leaving me extremely speechless and angry but i quickly controlled my nerves.
The situation i found myself wasn’t the type solved without diplomacy.
goodness me! Mary what are you doing here?” i asked with a surprised expression,
“you came home with her right?, she’s inside huh?” she asked like someone under the influence of an evil force, before trying to force her way in but i objected and blocked her.
“what’s wrong with you huh?, why didn’t you at least call to inform me that you were coming?” i asked desperately. She scoffed and bit her lips.
“i called you on phone all night but you failed to answer. You were probably busy with her, now out of my way, i want to see her” she screamed furiously, launching at me like a tiger. I stood my ground and blocked her.
“you are going nowhere besides we had an agreement remember” i said angrily,
“and this is how you are keeping yours” she barked. I rubbed my face with my palms and scoffed.
“let her in dear. I want to talk to her” i suddenly heard Chioma say to me from behind. I was extremely shocked.
“you heard her?, now out of the way” Mary screamed and forced her way into my apartment. I was left stunned and speechless. I was never prepared for such encounter.
Chioma smiled politely as Mary walked into the apartment like an angry landlady. I watched silently, my heart furiously pounding.
“I know a lot about you. I know more than you can ever imagine. I have never been in support of how he has been treating you. I have to be sincere, so please calm down” she addressed Mary with ease, leaving the old lady extremely stunned and alarmed. Mary froze for a while and studied her quietly.
“and what’s he to you?, how do you get to know much about me?. Are you also in it just like Jboy huh. I need not tell you that Jboy was a good friend but a bad influence. It was unfortunate he ended the way he did and now you are trying to stick your nose in something i presume you have little knowledge on. Young girl better run along” she scolded Chioma with intense anger. The poor girl drew back with fear before quickly regaining herself.
“don’t disrespect Jboy or use his death to your advantage unless you are trying to tell me you have a hand in it. I can’t be scared of a bitter woman” she cried,
“you can assume whatever you want. I have fasted and prayed ceaselessly for a husband. God answered by providing Ken, every obstacle that trys to prevent it from happening will be destroyed by he who answered my prayers. You can stick your neck and dare me. I have warned you. I can bet my life that i met him before you did, i have nothing else to say” she warned and turned to leave while Chioma surprisingly ran after her forcing me to act fast and prevent her from attacking Mary.
“we are engaged. Our marriage will be coming up soon” she yelled at Mary who froze for a second, gave us a weird look before leaving my apartment. Chioma broke into a loud cry as soon as she left.
