JUST A LITTLE SIN - Episode 7

“Pregnant for me, no… you’re not sure of what you’re saying..”

I replied her and try to remind her that we haven’t gotten intimate before so how’s is It possible that she will be pregnant for me. How exactly is that possible?

“I don’t know but we have been living together as couple Tomasi, how exactly am I pregnant? No, you answer me. Did I drink the pregnancy from water or From food, oh wait..I might have gotten it from breathing in air…”
She was begining to annoy me but I will rather let it slide.

This maybe part of the reasons I wanted her gone, I was only trying to avoid further problem but the more I try to run from trouble the more troubles I get into.

I have tried to explain to my mother and even my father that I don’t know anything about Oni’s pregnancy
I never touched her, never laid with her.

My mother believed me but not totally, from her eyes i can see she was still having her doubts
My father didn’t believe me anything I said, just as expected but I was done trying to convince him.

He hauls his usual insults and shouts. Telling me that i never obeyed or respected his words and that’s why he never takes anything concerning me serious, he mentioned Yoara my step brother who was already doing well in the big city but I’m just causing troubles in the village.

He said he warned me not to get intimate with Oni in her condition yet I did.
He said I took advantage of her knowing well she was under the influence of love spell that I deliberately placed on her because of my selfish reasons, and now she is pregnant with my child.

After the whole bashing, he concluded that he will take Oni and I to see Mudi’s father to take off the spell which has refused to leave her and this time around he meant it.

I came back home asking Oni how she became pregnant and she thought I was being sarcastic by asking such question.

Oni is the only one that can bail me out of the present situation but even as I asked her calmly in private, seeking for the truth she kept saying that I’m the father of her baby.

I know she was still under the love spell and does not know exactly what she is saying but sometimes she act like she actually knows exactly what she does, she behaves differently, it appears more like she was pretending.
I can’t tell or explain it but my guts tell me something is amidst

“The evening I saw you, were you returning from Juru’s place? I asked her without thinking, I just needed an Answer

“Which of the evenings, o can’t remember? Juru… I have nothing with him and have absolutely no reason to visit him. So I don’t know what you’re talking about..”

It was a total waste of time asking or trying to make her say the truth.
I will not accept this pregnancy no matter how they try to rub it all over me.

I was ready for the spell to be removed and also ready for whatever consequences that comes with it.

During this difficult peroid of my life, I didn’t forget Molly.
I was planning on meeting Juru first, to ask him some questions concerning Oni’s pregnant, hoping to get a positive answer even though we’re rivals or better still enemies but something as crucial as this, he won’t hesitate to let it out. Is a personal issue and needed to be attended to and I will make sure I get to the root of it.

While planning on how to go meet Juru not minding the insult i will get in return but meeting him is very necessary.

I was equally watching Molly closely.

I don’t joke with my two sisters and won’t allow anybody to mess around with them.

During that planning peroid, I finally got the chance to follow Molly that evening to her hide out, where she meets with her lover, whoever that might be

I disguised and followed her that evening, I discovered they have a particular time they set out for their meeting.

The way young girls were either dying in the hand of their lover or getting pregnant, or even charmed with love spell, it was really alarming and very scary. I have to do everything to protect my own from getting hurt.

I’m looking out for my own sisters and they will never be a victim of any of the recent happening.
Not when I’m still alive, never.

I planned on warning off whoever the little boy that Molly was seeing secretly, today will be the end of their secret love.
Molly is too young for anything relationship.

I followed unnoticed until I arrived at the place and there they were, very close to each other.

She was relaxing on the arm of her lover, laughing like she was being tickled under the armpit.

What type of rubbish act is this? I asked myself as I watched them, disgusted by the whole show.

The young man’s head was bent, I couldn’t see him clearly but he was sitting on a motor bike bending over.

Well, atleast he was well to do, if he can afford a motor bike, it only means he was either from a rich home or he was rich.

Atleast Molly has a good test, if the guy looks responsible I may let them be but with a warning.
teenage love is awkward. Very funny sight to behold. I chuckled as I began moving closer to them.

I was few feet away when I suddenly startled from who I was seeing, I freezed at the spot as I looked at his face
My blood boil, sweat broke out of my forehead. veins shoot out of my fist.

Juru has chew more than he can swallow and I will teach him a bitter lesson that he will never forget in a haste.

Of all the whole ladies in his league why my sister?
Why did he choose my sister, I guess to get back at me.
He was using Molly as a bait to deal with me for taking Oni
He just stepped on a Lion’s tail, he won’t get away with it.
I rushed towards him like a prey, bounced on him and began to pound like when using a mortar to pound yam.

I was maximising my big chance without giving room for him to overpower me.

Molly, my sister who was supposed to be helping me out as her elder brother was busy screaming and hitting my back.

She scratch and bite me like a cat and when I remained unmoved, she pick up a stick and hit me right at the back of my head, I saw a thousand stars as I fell off to the ground, which gives Juru enough chance to throw me over but instead of giving me several punch as expected, just like I did to him he stood and said.

“For the sake of the love I have for Molly I won’t fight you Tomasi. We can’t both be mad at same time..”

“You’re just a coward Juru. Stay away from my sister…come after me like a man but keep your distance from my sister. Don’t use her to get to me, leave her out of our rivalry..”

I replied as I got up from the ground, holding the exact spot that Molly hit me. I approach Juru angrily.

“I can’t fight you Tomasi, you’re my soon to be in-law, so I will rather respect you instead, for the sake of Molly my love.

I spat on the ground right in front of him, I made sure that part of my saliva splash on him.

I looked at Molly who was standing beside Juru. I silently hope Molly was doing all of this with a clear eyes not under any love spell
I thought of what to say that will cause confusion and make Molly to leave, if I try to force her it will result to more rebellious act and insult to my personality.
the right thing settle just in time in my head.

“Does Molly knows about you and Oni? I hate to break it to you this way that Oni is carrying your baby, she is pregnant with your child..”

He looked at me with and began to laugh
“How is that even possible? You’re not making sense Tomasi, Molly must really hit you hard on the head, that’s the only explanation why you’re talking nonsense. Your supposed wife is carrying my child? Isn’t that abomination in where you come from, because as far as I’m concerned is a big taboo for another man to pregnant a married woman…”

“I never touched Oni, I never slept with her even once and she’s not my wife. You were supposed to be the last man she met before coming to my side and that makes you father to her baby…”

“Is that what she told you? Oni is your wife and not mine. You called her your bride and you the groom, have you forgotten? As you can see Molly is the woman for me and if Molly says she’s pregnant now then I can boldly agree without doubts but how do you want me to respond to this your claims.

Doesn’t it sounds funny in your own ears? I have nothing with Oni, you have a full package now Tomasi. You married wife on credit without paying a dime, now she is with a child for you… congratulations. You’re indirectly a full family man but try and pay up her bride price, if you need money I can lend you some…”

My sister wasn’t moved by anything I said, I have to use another method I never intended using before.

I walked up to Molly and dragged her with force
I held on tight as she twist and turn, it was all in vain.
I was taking her home if she likes it or not.

“I don’t have time to start trading words with you Juru. Stay away from my sister or this will bring your doom quicker than you expected..”

“Molly is mine, you can’t stop our love for each other Tomasi. Becarful with her because if she gets injured you have also injured my fragile little heart. you can have Oni and her baby, I don’t care at all, they’re all yours. Molly is enough for me..”

Juru said as he accompany his words with a mockery laugh that makes my jaw moved uncontrollably.

I really wanted to deal with him right that moment but I concentrated on Molly who kept struggling with me.

I didn’t reply Juru, as I dragged my sister home, ignoring her whimpering and annoying cry along the road..
