Betty explained looking down at her food “don’t worry, he’s gonna be fine, He would be back soon, okay, Jay-Jay can take care of himself” Edith was trying to cheer her up. “Okay” Betty sighed. “Cheer up jor, eat up fast, Emeka is waiting!” Edith told her with a smile.
Jay-Jay was pacing to and fro in his room. He was deep in thoughts. He has locked himself up in his room since last night, not even his father’s persistent knockings made him open the door. Rubbish! He drew a sharp breathe, what was his father thinking anyway? Zimbabwe of all countries!. His fingers ran through his hair roughly. For once, he regretted being a Robert’s family member. He wondered what could be going on with Betty, Tiger called this morning to say she is alright, but even still.
He is not satisfied The person who told his father he is a cultist will surely pay for this! For the first time he wished he had a mother. He had never known her, neither did his dad tell him about her. He resigned never to ask about her, cos he thought she’d be dead. A sharp knock interrupted his thoughts… What the heck is this man looking for again! He groaned. He moved away from the door determined not to open it. His dad should just leave him alone!
Jay-Jay inserted his fingers into ears. “Biko, open the door.” Robert pleaded again. “What is it?” Jay-Jay glared at his father, opening the door slightly. “Can I come in?” “Why?” “We need to talk.” Mr Robert looked sober.
Jay-Jay opened the door wider letting his father in. “Sit down” Robert said quitely sitting on an arm chair. Jay-Jay didn’t sit down, he rested his back on the wall instead, folding arms across his chest. “I said sit…” “I don’t wanna sit!” he cut his father short. “If you don’t sit,then we won’t talk” Robert sighed “That means you aint ready to talk” “Jacob do you realize you’re talking to your father?”
what has come over you?” Robert yelled.
“Nothing at all!” Robert gasped. He shook his
head gently “Linda!” he
muttered under his breathe. “What?” Jay-Jay
couldn’t help asking. “Your mother, you sound
just like her, stubborn and
unruly” Robert said gently. Jay-Jay was
shocked, his mother?! “Jacob, you are just like
your mum! She ran away
when you were just one year old, I haven’t
seen her, I
came back to Nigeria cos of her, but can’t find
her.”
He said painfully. “Jacob, you are my only
son…” he continued.
“I want the best for you. Ever since your mum
left me.
on you…” his voice became shaky. Jay-Jay melted
within, he sighed. “Jacob please, don’t let me
down.” Jay-Jay squatted beside his father.
“Dad I love you, you know that, I won’t hurt
you…” “You already did, you joined a cult!”
“Okay dad, let’s strike a deal, you’l let me go
back to school and I’ll shun cultism.” He said placing
an arm round his father. “I want your happiness,
you’re going back to school
tomorrow, please amend your ways” Roberts
said quitely. “Love you dad” Jay-Jay hugged his
father. “Love you son” Robert hugged him
tightly. “So dad, tomorrow right?” he sounded
excited.
smiled faintly. “Yea” Jay-Jay cared less.
“Come let me show you her picture…” Robert stood
up. Jay-Jay followed him, Oh yes! Tomorrow he’l be in school.
G-gal smiled to herself. She got the wind of
information that Jay-jay was back, after all
her plans, he still came back! She’s gonna launch her
last attack. She glanced at her wristwatch 12 midnight, she
climbed the wall fencing Jay-Jay’s house and
dropped with a faint thud.
before proceeding to move. She imagined Jay-
Jay pleading with her as she
squeezed life out of him. He’s gonna pay for
the humilation he caused her. She heard a swift
movement in the mango tree
beside her, she quickly pulled out her gun.
She aimed at the tree, watching carefully to see what will drop. She saw a boy jumped down, she aimed at him about to shoot when she felt the sharp edge of a dagger on her neck. “Drop that gun!” Tiger growled she quickly obeyed, Rox picked the gun. “Please let me go” she pleaded “I’l do anything you want” “Hmn, carry her to the guard room” Tiger ordered Rox, ignoring G-gal. Rox dragged her into a room, where 5 other boys were smoking weed while Tiger went to the main building to inform Jay-Jay. Jay-Jay was busy studying his books, he’s got alot to cover, he prays he’l make his papers.
“Where are the rest?” “They don go back to campus.” a boy replied smoking his weed. “Guys! She brought her self, we’re gonna give what she wants.” He said chuckling. “Exactly” Tiger roared amidst laughter, he knew what Jay-Jay would say. “Each of you should have just One round, and when I say one round; you know what I mean.” jay-Jay smiled “One round?”Rox groaned “Pity her, she is a fellow cultist” Jay-Jay explained.
“But you know what, make sure you batter the thing, injure am, so that if she see us tomorrow she go faint.” He instructed. “You first boss.” Tiger said offering him a pack of condom. “Oh no! Please don’t spoil me. I am a virgin o, I want to reserve my body for my future wife” Jay- Jay squealed in a girlish voice and they all rolled with laughter. “Ahoi! Get to work!” He told them leaving the room, with G-gal at their mercy.
