???????? The Choice I Made Episode Nine:
Godwin has been restless after hearing the name “Preye” again. He recalled having a girlfriend he led astray and he calculated the age he thinks Victory might be he kept asking himself questions. He called Dagogo to know more about this particular Preye.
Dagogo, please I want you to tell me all you know about Preye. Please it means a lot to me. Godwin pleaded.
Sir, I don’t know anything about her she is just my Sister’s friend that’s the only thing I know about her. Dagogo explains.
What’s the name of your sister?
Her name is Blessing Tamunonye.
Ok, in which city was she living before she traveled?
She was living in Yenagoa, sir. It was she and Preye were living together in the same house.
Have you seen this Preye before?
Yes, I’ve seen her once. She was here. She asked if we needed more workers.
She was here and you didn’t let me know. Are you the one employing workers? Why didn’t you call me to come and check if she is the one? Oh, Christ!! Godwin acts abnormally dragging Dagogo’s cloth.
Sir, you traveled and you said we are done employing female workers. I didn’t know you know her and you are looking for her. The main reason she came was that she needed my sister’s contact. Dagogo said calmly.
Sorry about that. I didn’t know what I’m saying. I don’t even know if she’s the one. Godwin said acting confused. Please can you describe how she looks, I mean her physical appearance?
She is tall, fair, and slim with a small body. She is beautiful too.
Did she has a birthmark on the right side of her nose? Godwin asked.
Eeeerm, I don’t know. My mind didn’t go there. Dagogo said.
You can go now. Thank you, thank you…
Blessing Tamunonye, Blessing Tamunonye, Blessing Tamunonye. Godwin repeatedly called the name. Yes, I know Preye was having a roommate then but I didn’t know her name. But the description Dagogo gave matches that of Preye’s. She has no father only her mother is still alive and this same Preye has no father. Could this be a mere coincidence or my mistake has come calling? God, what have I done? Victory are you my son? Godwin keeps raising questions.
Blessing, I give you two days to resume your work. If after two days you keep acting the way you are acting, I will be left with no option than to throw you out of my house and I will make sure you go back straight to Nigeria. Nengi warns Blessing.
I don’t mind going back to Nigeria. Nengi, up till now you still have not felt that Preye you wasted is someone’s only Child? Blessing sadly asked.
Who cares if she’s an only child or not? She chose her part and I made it easier for her. Besides, why is Preye’s case so different? You are always here and watch others go down why this one? Oh! is it because she is your friend? Stop being the child that you are and sit up and make your money. Nengi said.
I lied to everyone you are my sister. How do I start covering up the lies again? Preye’s mother knows Preye came here. How then will I start explaining to her that her daughter is dead if I travel to the village? Blessings cried.
Must you travel to the village? Who else are you going to the village to see? Your parents are no more you can hang around anywhere. Look, during our time almost eight people that came together with us died of stubbornness. I served my madam for four bad good years and I was settled with peanut. I started building myself again and get to where I am today. You should be grateful I gave each of you just one year to serve me. I’m done with this explanation. Don’t just try me after two days because you won’t like my next action. Nengi said.
Two days later, Godwin informed Preye mother’s he was coming and told her to invite Mama Boma. Dagogo and Godwin arrived at Preye’s compound.
Talk of the devil. I was telling Mama Boma that your own Godwin is God sent unlike one other Godwin I’ve heard of. I told her all you have been doing for me and my son. Mama Preye said to Godwin who just arrived.
It seems you know another Godwin mama. Godwin asked with so many butterflies in his belly.
My dear, I don’t know him I only heard of him. That one his name suppose to be satan win because God can not win in his life and he still did what he did to me. My son let me not ruin your coming with a story of a dead man. How are you doing? Victory has been using his eyes to ask me of you. Had it been he is an adult he would have asked me where are you? Mama Preye said smiling.
Godwin was lost in his thought that Preye’s mother had to call his attention back.
Mama, where is Victory? Godwin asked.
That one? He’s sleeping with his trouble. Don’t worry immediately he hears your voice he will come out. Mama Preye said laughing.
Godwin who came to break the news to Mama Preye that Preye is dead saw how happy and bright Mama Preye is looking he got weak at the whole thing but he still found a way and breaks the news to her.
Mama Boma, please can I see you for a minute? Godwin asked Mama Boma.
Yes, you can mama Boma said and followed Godwin.
Mama Preye got lost and confused about what he called Mama Boma aside. I hope all is well eééh? Preye’s mother raised her voice and asked them.
Mama Boma, this is Dagogo, a sister to Preye’s friend which you people came looking for the other day. I asked Preye’s mother to invite you here today to be by her side when we tell her what brought us here… Godwin paused for some seconds and took a deep breath… Mama Boma, Preye is dead.
Mama Boma was supposed to get hold of herself and be strong enough to be by Preye’s mother’s side but she screamed and fall to the ground.
Mama Preye stood up with so much fear. Her rapper she was tying untied and dropped on the floor she didn’t notice. Dagogo quickly picked up the rapper and tied it around her waist and held her on the shoulder.
Mama Preye, they said Preye is dead oooooh!! Mama Boma cries.
It took Mama Preye, who has been feeling like Preye is dead before now some minutes of silence before she screamed at the top of her voice and start calling Preye’s name to come home for her.
Godwin went inside and carried Victory because he doesn’t want him to be startled when he woke up. Victory has already woken up with his eyes wildly open when Godwin came to carry him. He saw Godwin’s face and still gave him that prettiest smile. That was when the tears in Godwin’s eyes dropped when he smiled back at Victory.
Blessing who was given two days to resume her work came back from the market with a fuel she bought. She went straight to the kitchen and emptied all the groundnut oil inside the container and filled the container with the fuel she bought and quickly dressed up and left. Nengi who was supposed to make stew entered the kitchen and lit up the gas she was still holding the container of groundnut oil which contains fuel inside when the kitchen got exploded
