Must Read: Me And My Asaba Jobs - Season 1 - Episode 49

“it will be better you put a call through to other
people at
ibadan for them to know that
things are fine
and also anytime you are set
to go to ibadan just tell me i
will tell my driver to take you
there incase you don’t wanna
drive that long journey”
thank you ma’ was all i could say
but what i want to do first is to go to my office
i need to know why i was left alon in police
custody
i think i wont run mad with differente thinking
that is coming to this head of mine
i think she knows that something is goin on my
mind
“young man, try to be strong
like petral”
she said
petral is rock in greek language
she has told me that when we were chating on
her travelling to greece befor this problems
i wish to have a supernatural power that will
reveal everything that is behind this whole
problems
yes, my aunty is wright
i need to watch my step because it will surely
affect my life
i was brought back to my senses when she pat
my shoulder
“go and rest now”
she said
LATER THAT EVENING
i was in the guest room (aunty’s house)
listening to Luther Vandros ‘dance with my
father again’
but in this case i wish the chorus could be
change to ‘dance with my mother again’
befor now, anytime i listen to that song
it makes me love my mother more for taking
the responsibility of two people(parents) on
herself alon
i was still listening to the song when loveth
came in
i didn’t notice her presence untill she called my
name
though she smile at me but i saw pain behind
that smile
“loveth, why did you force
that smile out when you are
not happy)
she instantly look muddy
“chuks, i know aunty must
have explain to you but i’m
sorry i did that”
i wanted to ask her what did she do
but i calm myself and allowed her to continue
“when i heard of the case
i knew if we should allow it
go through court
there is no chance of you
comin out of it”
i re-adjusted myself on the bed and i wanted to
ask how did she know i wont come out from it
befor she interrupted
“please don’t ask me how do
i know
me working as a maid here
does not make me an illiterate
i was a student and i know
where the case will end
a case of robbery and
murderer will not end well for
an innocent soul that have no
evidence to prove his case”
loveth has never sounded the way she did that
evening
she sounded so mature and real
“i did what i have to do to
save you
chuks i don’t want to lose you”
she said
i was as cold as cold itsself
“what did you do?”
i asked
