PART 19
” RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
“ Don’t even try to stop me from leaving!” Mirabel said to Doctor Mike
“ Ma, our gospel does not teach us to encourage a woman to leave her Husband when he is in trouble especially if the husband is looking for a way out of his mess!”
“So you expect me to sit here and let the consequences of his evil deeds eat my son and I up?” Mirabel asked rolling her eyes
“ YES! though you won’t be sitting… instead you will stand by him as a big support for him. As he is trying to get out, you must stand by him.”
“ I am sorry… I can’t “ Mirabel concluded
********
Mayowa was struggling to wake up. He knew he had to wake up but the effect of the deep sedation was still lingering.
After about five minutes of his forceful opening of his eyes despite the involuntary shutting of his eyes, he asked the much anticipated question…
“ Where is my wife?” He directed his question at Doctor Mike.
“ Gone!” Doctor Mike replied
“ To?”
“ She said to an hotel… She needed time away from you!”
“ That’s absolutely fine!” Mayowa was happy she had left. Consequently, things were not going to happen the way they ought to happen. Meaning by the next day, he wasn’t going to lose Mirabel, she wasn’t going to be trailing him.
“ You are happy she is gone?”
“ It’s complicated Doctor. The farther she is from me, the safer she is.”
Mayowa rose up sharply but immediately he knew it was a wrong move as he swayed in the process…
“ Calm down MR Mayor!”
“ My name is Mayowa and I am not Mad!”
“ Sure I know you are not, but you can’t just jump and get on your feet after a deep sedation.”
“I have a lot to do in less than 24 hours!”
“ Ok! I volunteer to take you to wherever you need to go!”
“ I am fine!”
“ You cannot drive after sedation!”
“ Ok fine! You will drive me to my destination but you stay outside!”
“ No problem!” Doctor Mike replied

“Look me in the eye, and say to me that you don’t feel what I feel!” Martins said to Chioma out of the blues
Chioma had gone mute suddenly. They had been talking about some of their old friends. In between that beautiful conversation, Martins had blurted out the nonsense that just came out of his mouth.
It was wrong that she made him come into her house, and now he wanted to introduce emotional blackmail.
“ I cannot love you, because you are a married man!”
“ You can’t love me or You don’t love me! Which one?”
“ Same difference!
“ No… not the same thing… I know…” Martins was saying but Chioma was on her feet already
“ You need to be on your way.!”
“ I just got here!” Martins said
“ I am getting uncomfortable with the our conversation!”
“ I apologize!”
“ It’s no use!”
“ I actually need to meet up with someone!”
“ I know that’s a lie!”
“ No it’s not… Initially, I didn’t have anyone to catch up with, but your talk gave me reason to catch up with a friend!”
“ Ok!” Martins got up. He wished he could cut down Rekky’s head. She was the wall between he and Chioma. What made him more angry at his situation was the fact that Rekky was enjoying her life madly.
Martins got up and walked out of the house.
********
Mayor sat in the front seat of Doctor Mike. He didn’t know what he was going to say to the couple , but one thing was sure. He must ensure he convinced the wife from going out the next day.
“ Are you the address from your trance is real?” He asked himself
“ Or are you really running mad?” He questioned his sanity
******
Martins got into the house. He wasn’t surprised Rekky wasn’t back.
A knock at the door caught him off guard.
“ Who is there?”
“ My name is Mayowa!”
“ From where?”
“ I have a message to deliver to you!”
Martins stood up taking the word for what it was. He thought he had a package that was to be delivered to him.
On opening the door, he saw Mayowa. He didn’t look like a delivery man and besides he didn’t see any package in his hands. Instinct kicked in as he shut the door quickly…
“ Hello Sir! Please open the door! I have an important message for you! Especially concerning your wife. You both are going to die tomorrow if I don’t talk to you. Please open the door! Your wife is going to make a lot of people die tomorrow if I don’t speak to her!”
Martins couldn’t believe a mad man was at his door.
“ Sir, I suggest you move away from my door before I call the police on you!” Martins said
“ Please sir, I have been in the future… I know you have a friend by the name Chioma… if you don’t listen to me, you might never see Chioma again after tomorrow!”
The mention of Chioma’s name made him pause on the call he was making. He was about calling the police emergency number.
“ What do you know about Chioma?” Martins asked as he went into the kitchen to get one of the sharp kitchen knives.
“ Everything… I know she was the woman you should have married and you met her recently …”
Martins opened the door with the knife in his hand.
“ I have a very sharp knife in hand. If you try anything funny, I won’t hesitate to cut your throat….” Martins said as he was opening the door gently. The moment he opened the door in full, he was surprised to see Rekky with mouth wide opened behind the man.
Rekky had heard Mayowa’s last statement about loving another woman.
Rekky pushed Mayowa aside and walked it..
“ Mrs Rekky… I know about Osmond!” Mayowa said in a rush. Rekky stopped in her track…
“ I know he has some of your underwears which he plans to use for money rituals…” Mayowa says
Martins and Rekky turns sharply to Mayowa.
“ Oh Really? Nice try…Martins…So you went to employ a false prophet of doom against me. Because you have been asking me of one of the underwears and I said I couldn’t find it, you decided to get a false prophet.. Nice try! So you have been going through my phone as well, to get the name you gave him… Hey, Mr Prophet of doom, Yes my boyfriend’s name is Osmond and Yes I give him my P@ntiës as a sourvenir to keep me in his thoughts always… What else is new about my life you want to tell him?”
Mayor couldn’t believe he had hit a wall…
