PEARLS OF SWINE - Episode 9

Kunle began to laugh the moment his friend, Bayo told him that with the way things were going he may get caught.

“I can’t be caught Man, I know my game and I play it well. Any road leading down to me is super clean…I have nothing to worry or be scared off. If they were all smart they should have been able to track me down in the beginning but instead the bunch of useless old fools saw only what I wanted them to see. I have already thrown my implicating invoice booklets that is worn out to Mayowa. Somebody has to take the blame and is definitely not me… Mayowa was a perfect match for it. Bayo, they can’t possibly track me down because I chop and wash my plate clean … they may try but nothing will happen. There is nothing to hold onto…all they will find is a clean slate… Properly clean.

Bayo, Kunle’s friend gulp down his drink and poured another, he lifted his glass and they both toast and continued to laugh.

Kunle took a sip from his glass before setting it down.
There was a plate filled with peppered gizzard and fried snail in one side of the table. Another plates of fried beef and chicken laps on another side of the same table.
Kunle used toothpick and picked two of the snail first, munched on it for a second then another gulp from his drink.
He took two pieces out of the gizzard and began to chew loudly.

“…. Life is sweet. Is only fools that chose to suffer. Bayo, the funny thing is that I don’t even know what suffering taste like again… ever since I wised up. Is been over two years I said no to poverty, no to stipend in form of salary, no to hardship, no to all kinds of orishirishi( nonsense) my life had never remained the same. I have cars, I have money and wears designers. My company foolishly gave me another car and monetary gift again. I plan selling one of my cars instead of having them there in my garage. I used to lie to my colleague that my brothers abroad sends me things but I have no relative in abroad, I also told them that I have other personal business I also run to make money aside my salary. They all stupidly believed me. The only person I told about my secret was Mayowa, I thought he will be wise enough to run things with me due to how close we are but my guy chickened out because of his stupid faith, now, see where it has gotten him. He can’t get out of the trap he is currently in, because he does not have the money to bail himself out. A poor church rat with nothing to his name except his Church. He is doomed for life while I’m made for Life…I have already said goodbye to poverty long time ago and I will never go back there. Bayo, people will respect and worship you like a god if you have money…but nobody will give you a second look if you don’t.

Bayo nodded. He picked one fried gizzard and began chewing on it.

“…. enjoy yourself my friend. There is money to spend…”
Kunle encouraged Bayo who kept nodding while eating and drinking.

“…I feel like adding a whole grilled fish to this table. We have gizzard, fried meat, snail and chicken laps which we will face after the snail and gizzard goes down. But something is missing and that is fish…they should bring two grilled fish for us and more drinks. Money is not a problem..i have got enough. Fish should be added…or what do you think Bayo?

“Yes, you are right…I will love a cat fish with chips and some pretty babes like the last weekend. Pretty ladies that will be rubbing their soft hands on our head while we enjoy to stupor and may even take a hotel room and spend the night. You have some of their mobile numbers maybe you should call them to come to the same place like the last time… there is a lot of goodies waiting for them…

Kunle laughed so hard while tapping Bayo’s shoulder
saying.

“Bayo my guy, you are too much. You really know how to enjoy life. You learnt from the best because I’m a great teacher…. hahaha! I will be needing two full chest and back loaded pretty babes that knows how to do magic with their fingers. My wife bores me a whole lot. Going home is just to relax and nothing more. I catch my fun outside here, have my full fun and enjoy myself to stupor. My wife does not even need me because I drop enough money for her to keep her away from disturbing me. I won’t be going home tonight… I’m calling the ladies over. They will keep us entertained through out this weekend.

Kunle made a phone call before ordering for more meat and fish to the table.
He also ordered for more drinks and within an hour, three of the ladies he called arrived.
And their enjoyment continued from there as he promised each of the three ladies lots of money to spend the weekend which they all agreed.

*********

Mayowa was back home for the main time. Investigation was still ongoing and he had already spent almost two months in the police cell.

The MD had said that at the end of the investigation if they found out that he was truly the culprit, he will be sentenced and locked up for good or he pays ten million or above, it depends on how much more missing fund they discovered.

Mayowa, knew he was not yet free and did not stop praying with his wife.

Most of their house properties have been sold to raise money.
His wife, Kiki who couldn’t gather enough money had no choice than to sell the properties to be able to raise money to complete his bail.
But despite everything sold the money was just a million and half and when he came back from police there was nothing to live on they had no choice than to still touch the saved up money to feed.
Kiki who was into petty trading try to combine alot of other things to her wares to be able to make money since her husband was out of job.

She does not want them to keep taking money from the one they have already gathered to pay to Mayowa’s MD rather she will love them to be adding to the available money just in case.

She can’t afford to watch her husband go back to prison, she will strive and do anything possible to save him.

They have been praying together and also prays separately, pleading with God to reveal the hidden things and expose the real culprit.
They kept believing that since there was another round of investigation ongoing, they hope that no matter how long it takes, the real culprit will surely be exposed.
Kunle can’t get away with his actions. Because nothing is hidden under the sun.
No matter how he hides his secret and evil deeds one day it will be open to the sun and everyone will see his dirty secrets.

It can only take time but the truth will surely prevail.
