JUST A LITTLE SIN - Episode 6

My father gave me a day to come to him with the truth.
I had no choice than to go back to him the following day because I couldn’t even sleep that night.

I way thinking of the outcome of the whole sad event at same time I was running from Oni’s trouble as she refused to sleep in my sisters room but choose to sleep in my room
I never touched her, infact I was begining to hate and also pity her condition because she obviously doesn’t know whatever she is doing, she is being controlled by some force which she has no power over.

I will never take advantage of her in this condition, never.

She did not sign up for any of this things, is unfortunate that she happened to fall into the middle of the fight between Juru and i. Juru pushed me into this with his whole boastful attitude and words.

He belittled me too much and even compared me to his dog, that was the highest insult of my life and I refused to let it slide just like that
For the sake of my peace of mind because I was almost going crazy because of this whole love triangle
and also for Oni who does not deserve this. for the sake of Larry and Mudi they will get into trouble if this gets to Mudi’s father’s ears, because of all this things I just have to call it quit.

If my father can help me resolve all of this without escalating it then I’m totally in.

I went to my father early that morning while Oni was still asleep, she had troubled me all through the night but I was head strong and refused to bent or take advantage of her.

She slept late as she kept whining and watching over me like a cat to a mouse.
I told my father half of the truth, I excluded some part of the stories, I never told him that I was trying to get back at Juru, I just informed that Oni was under a Love spell
He began to preach again as expected,
He assumed that I used to love Oni and wanted her by all means but because she was not showing interest I decided to struck her with a love spell.

I don’t care about his assumption, although it was a wrong assumption but I don’t care, I just wanted everything to be over soon.

Father asked me that hope I haven’t lay with Oni, I assured him that I haven’t and don’t intend to touch her.

He said if I want the spell to break faster i should corporate with whatever she does and stop running away from it.

I should eat with her, take a walk with her, talk kindly with her and treat her well but I should never go intimate with her.

Eating, walking and even playing along with the whole thing was exhausting but I was ready to do anything to break free from her
Sleeping with her wasn’t an issue because I never intended to do that in the first place.

I decided to do whatever my Dad asked of me but after a month, which was supposed to be the actual time Oni was supposed to be free, but she was still the same love struck.

Nothing changed at all.
Father said I should marry her, maybe through marriage the spell will be broken. I rejected the idea.
Mama agreed to it but is not going to happen.

I rushed to Mudi and asked him what is really going on, I was tired and sick of everything.
Mudi asked me to calm down that maybe he was wrong with the calculation.
I really need my life back and can no longer bear any of the things happening.

Oni needs to get back herself and return to her house.
Mudi said it was supposed to be a month, exactly four weeks and the spell will expire but he can no longer tell what was going on.

He said I should just exercise patient and it will be all over in no time.
I went back home and Oni was just returning from market with my Mother and sisters.

She doesn’t follow me around like before, she helps out around the house and assisted in selling mama’s corn bean mixed cake.
I just want her gone, let her start hating and bashing me, I’m waiting for that part, I’m totally prepared for it but is yet to come.

I need to start doing something meaningful with my life but not with Oni around.

She even calls my mom mama and my sisters has come to love her and my mother treats her like one of her daughters.

What’s all this family reunion? I want her gone, it was all a mistake and I’m over it.

She should start hating, cursing and start going too.

Mudi has said that once the spell falls off she will hate me so much and that supposed to be exactly four weeks. Is already more than four weeks, I’m still wondering what was going on.

Ever since Oni came to my house, my entire being isn’t mine anymore, I want my sleep, peace and life back
I wouldn’t have mind if she was Dunfi, yes I understand that she’s late but I will never have complained one bit if it was Dunfi.
Oni may be very pretty, smart and stand out like a model but I just don’t fancy her at all.

She should go back and continue with Juru who loves her.
I only wanted to teach Juru a lesson and I actually achieved that long time ago, right now the whole thing was becoming annoying.

I wonder why her family never come looking for her. mama was right about Oni’s father and step mother attitude when she traveled to inform them about Oni.

Few days later, I noticed that Molly was begining to sneak out to an unknown place.

I asked faithi my second sister and last kid of the house who was about eleven years where Molly has been going to but Faithi has no idea.
Whenever Molly comes back from whoever she was going to see, Molly is always filled with smile.

Oni had said the other night “Molly has a boyfriend whom she obviously loves so much just as I love and adore you too Tomasi. Love is magical and can find you in an unexpected place, it can even make you do stupid things, just like I do sometimes. I don’t know who Molly’s boyfriend is, I wish he is as perfect like you…”

Perfect? She is definitely mistaken me for some other guy.
Molly is just sixteen, she can’t possibly be having a boyfriend at this young age. Is not allowed and I’m going to find out who she was dating and warn whoever the boy is to stay off my sister.

I spoke to Molly that evening, I talked to her kindly so that she can confide in me.

The talk worked out magically as she told me that truly she met this guy who she fell so much in love with just like Oni loves and adores me.
Molly said she can’t live without seeing him for two days.
They have a hideout where they usually meet.

I pressed on and asked her if the boy was from our village, she said no, but he visits alot. He used to have a friend in a faraway district but not anymore.
He is wealthy, handsome and very caring too. Molly said while smiling sheepishly.

I asked her about the boy’s name but she refused to tell.
She said her boyfriend wouldn’t like that, he is a very private person.

I try to force his name out of her mouth but she refused to say.

“, You’re just sixteen Molly and don’t have any business dating at this age. I’m 21 years and still very afraid of love or relationship. We boys are dangerous and not to be trusted” I told Molly.

But she was not even listening to me and she was already calculating their next meeting.
The moment she mentioned that the guy comes with a motorbike.
My heart double skipped immediately

I hope is not what I’m thinking, no it can’t be. I hope my thoughts are unreal because it won’t be funny.

The following day as she was planning to sneak out that evening, I was also planning to follow behind quietly without her knowing.

Just then Oni ran out vomiting seriously.
This was the third time since yesterday.

She must be having stomach upset, maybe one of our food is reacting badly to her which is more reason she needs to leave
Mama came out to examine her properly.

She exhaled as she checked her all over again.

“This is not fever, you’re with a child. Tomasi, Oni is in her early pregnancy stage… about a month or so, can’t really tell exactly but just about that. She’s carrying your child…”

My mouth remained open, this can’t be possible. Maybe Mama isn’t sure of what she is seeing.
Carrying who’s child, this is a funny joke.
I never touched Oni, I avoid looking at her whenever she is trying to dresse front of me, I don’t even know the colour of her undies so how can she be carrying my child.

I have never gotten intimate or touched Oni before, how can she be pregnant for me. How, like how exactly?
No, is not possible and it definitely can’t be happening.

Molly has sneaked out and I couldn’t follow like I planned to do before.
I wanted to know who my junior sister was seeing and I’m afraid of the thoughts forming in my head. I kept rejecting such thoughts.

Now, I’m going to be facing another bigger problem.
Who is the father of the baby Oni was carrying because is definitely not me.
How do I explain that the pregnancy isn’t mine when we have been sharing the same room.

What kind of problem is this?

I’m totally doomed.
