JUST A LITTLE SIN - Episode 9

I sat there speechless and so was my father.
Odez, Mudi’s father asked again
“Why the silent my friend? I don’t know the full details yet surrounding the reason for your son to apply love spell on her and now she’s pregnant. But when one is in love he can do crazy things… except… except he was only doing it for fun or to get back at someone and it all backfires but he’s should be very grateful to his mother that he’s still alive. But my major problem now is why are you two keeping mute over my question? Who prepared the portion? who’s behind this kind of foolish act because is obvious the person is an amateur or he just decided to do something as senseless as this. No real forewarning, excessive use of ingredients, he used what’s meant for good for bad and that alone makes me want to strangle whoever that was..”

“Is your son, Mudi..” my father said Shockingly.
He paused and continued
“…But in his defense is not his fault. Mudi only wanted to help Tomasi in achieving his childish aim, he meant no harm. Yes, it was a foolish act but you know how young minds can be. They always want to experiment and try new things. Please, don’t punish him Odez, is not the young man’s fault. He was only trying to help but not very sure of what he was actually doing. I apologise on his behalf… please.

Before my father will finish he began shouting Mudi’s name.
He walked down close to the main house which was several feet away from his shrine
In no time Mudi ran out and came running towards him.
Due to the distance, I couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying but I can see that the man was really angry.
His father strike him across the face first and he fell down and stood up again.

He began to scold and shout at Mudi, asking him why he did what he did.
Mudi began to cry after several hitting from his father

My father turned to me and said
“You see, can you see what you’ve caused for the innocent boy. Tomasi, did you see the trouble you caused for Mudi? I was never stubborn or self centered when I was young. None of my children are, so I don’t know where you got your behavior from. You’re different from all my children, and the difference I mean is in a bad way. Look at the trouble you brought to the innocent boy, see how angry his father is? Look at Oni, she’s here and we’re all here because of the trouble you brought to her and the entire family…”

Mudi was saying something to his father while crying.
His father left him after saying something like a warning back to him.
He walked back to us and came straight at me.
Fear gripped me
He asked for Oni’s name and she told him. He curved a smile, pat her gently on the back before asking Oni to go sit outside the shrine environment and she did.
I later saw Mudi walking back to the father’s shrine with Larry, where we were seated.
They stood just at the exact place that the father pointed out for them to stand.
He focused his attention on me

“I was just told that is because you wanted to get even with one of your friend or formal school mate that made you use a love portion on the lady.. Oni? Why… what type of foolish thought is that Tomasi. You’re not the father of her child but you can’t run from the curse you brought upon yourself. You just jeopardize alot of brightness for yourself and the lady. There’s consequences for every action and yours haven’t come yet, it will come when you didn’t expect it. Is only a stubborn fly that follows corpse to the grave. You will have to marry Oni before she gives birth, she has become yours but you have to look for the father of that baby and pay him double for a plot of land. This are all part of the consequences Tomasi. Mudi and Larry will be severely punished for having a hand in all of this. What is meant for good should never be used for evil…”

He turned to my father and said

“…Uga, this is all on your son, don’t blame yourself because he became a man from 16years and looking at him he is around 20years. He took his decision, he choose the part he wants to trade. Not all road leads to a good destination. He should really be grateful that he’s still alive because he should have been a dead man long time ago if not for his kind mother. Many of this danger will be averted for him if whoever he collected the lady from marries a relative of his. the boy will have to either marry either a relative by blood or any lady close to his heart. Even if Tomasi decided to fight it, this the law of attraction, uty will pull the two string together and no matter how he fights it will happen except Tomasi mother breaks the string just like she did with Oni and Tomasi. I don’t know how she will do it but she has become the only saving grace in all of this. But not everything can be redeemed, Tomasi will still face some of the actions of his deed…”

I looked at Larry and Mudi’s face to let them know that I was disappointed that they did not let me know the danger I was getting into before releasing the love portion.
I know I desperately wanted to have Oni so that Juru will know what I’m capable off and I wasn’t ready to listen to any reason but Mudi should have done it right.
He made a dangerous mistake by using excessive ingredients that wasn’t meant to be in the love portion, now I have to suffe for the whole mistake.
Maybe the first one that failed was a warning sign but indeed I was too strong headed and refused to let It go.

Mudi did it again and over did it, his only warning to me was that Oni will hate me.
He didn’t tell me any other thing associated with the portion.
He didn’t even say that Oni will want to kill me, what if my mother did not pay any attention to Oni or cares about her, that’s how I would have become a dead man.
That was really an expensive mistake
Their punishment is a child’s play compared to mine.
I looked at them as I stood to leave, while my father was talking to Odez, Mudi’s father. Probably pleading on my behalf.
Mudi and Larry looked back at me angrily, indicating that I was the one that got them into whatever trouble they were in.
I sighed and walked away.
This whole thing is too much for one small thing I did, I didn’t kill anyone why all this curse.
I only applied love portion why should I get all this punishment.
I didn’t even know that Oni was already pregnant with another man’s child.
Now, Molly and Juru are connected by some strange string of attraction because of me but that won’t work out and now I’m being forced to marry Oni.

Juru can never have my sister, never, ever. Molly deserve better except if that’s not what Odez meant.

Odez mentioned giving out money worth two plot of land to the father of the child.
I don’t even know who Oni is pregnant for.

I really need to clear my head right now, I never bargained for any of this.
Is way too much for just a little sin.
