THE SINFUL ACT (My blood) Episode 9 to 11 .
Continues.. Michael was still contemplating on
what Nancy, his girlfriend had told him. He stared
at the ceiling as he was lying on the local bed. He
wore a long sleeve red, black and what shirt that
were inform of tiny lines. On his feet were leather
shoes and down his abdomen was a black trouser.
His phone rang again. He didn't need a magician
to tell him that Kenneth was the one calling, then
he picked up. "Hello, Kenneth" he said in a low
tiring voice. "Guy, what's wrong with you? You
should be here by now!" Kenneth said with a hash
voice. "Guy, i have been wondering where we are
going tonight" "Listen, don't play games with me.
If you don't show up tonight, forget about this
deal" Michael thought of his broke and wretched
life and how he has been insulted because of
money. "Wait for me, I'm coming" he said and
stood up. "Better be fast" Kenneth cut the call.
Marvelous and her mother were fast asleep when
Michael went out of the house.. *** It was day
time in United Kingdom, Angela pitied Sandra and
decided stay close to her. She stayed with her
parents. They were rich and influential people,
both in U.K and Nigeria. Sandra walked into the
kitchen sluggishly where Angela was preparing
something. She wore a long milky gown that made
the shape of her underwears visible. Angela shook
her head piteously when she saw her. "Why don't
you take a nap?" she said. "For how long will i
keep taking a nap?" Sandra asked in a tiny voice,
even Angela barely heard what she said. "I think
you should engage yourself in a relationship or a
job so that you will forget some things and also..."
Angela paused. Sandra opened a fridge and
brought out a fresh fruit. She turned and looked at
Angela in a way that shows that she should
complete her statement. "And also what?" she
asked and bit the fruit. "Maybe you will find a guy
that will take care of you and the baby" Angela
completed. "You are not serious!" she hissed.
"Which baby? This evil child?" "No dear, don't call
it an evil child. No child is evil" "How do you
expect me to keep a baby that is my brother's?!"
"You have no choice" Angela concluded. ***
Kenneth took Michael to where he got his power
and rituals. It was more like a shrine of a native
doctor and a secret society because other
ritualistes were present too. Michael could see
them in white gowns in a straight line facing each
other. He could also see a man in black sitting at
the ending part of the narrow room. He glanced at
Kenneth and stayed close to him. "Young man,
your friend has told me about you" the man in
black told Michael. He ordered him to keep the 5k
on a tray before him, which he did and the money
disappeared instantly. The man continued, "You
are going to make love with your sister and make
sure you impregnant her in the process. She will
die if she try to abort the baby and after her
delivery, the child will be used for a sacrifice. You gala gowns
have thirty days to do that, then come back here
to witness your success" It seemed to Michael as
if he was dreaming. "How do you expect me to
make love to my own blood?" he asked in tears.
"Guy, behave yourself. All these people you see
here did the same, even me" Kenneth said. "There
is no way i will do such a thing!!" Michael tried to
go out. "Young man! There is no going back" the
man in black said. 11:30pm Michael came back
home drying his tears. He was still outside when
he head the voice of Marvelous crying. He quickly
pushed the door opened. He saw Marvelous with
his mother. "What's it?" he asked. "I don't know
what's wrong with Mummy!" Marvelous cried.
Michael looked at her and noticed she was still
breathing, then he carried her to the hospital
instantly. THE NEXT DAY Marvelous sat beside her
mother's sick bed wondering where Micheal was
coming from that night. She called Nancy and
informed her about her mother's illness. Michael
was also at a corner in the hospital thinking
different things. Few minutes later Nancy arrived in
her natural beauty. Tbc . Episode 10 Continues..
Michael hated the smell of a hospital. He didn't
know what to think as he sat at the corner inhaling
the irritating smell. "Am i the cause of my mother's
illness?" he was thinking. "Of course, the man in
black didn't mention anything about my mother.
How am i even going to carryout the assignment
he gave to me? Make love with my own blood
sister!" he shook his head negatively and stood up
to meet Nancy and Marvelous where they were
staying with Mrs Glory. "You will be okay, Mama"
Nancy said. "What did the doctor say is the cause
of the illness?" she asked. "Typhoid" Marvelous
replied and Looked at Michael. "A serious typhoid
stroke her down last night" Michael said to the
hearing of Nancy which made her look back to see
him on shoes looking like someone who went
somewhere. She wanted to ask him, but felt like it
wasn't the right time. Even Marvelous wanted to
tell Nancy that Michael wasn't at home the
previous night, she kept quiet knowing fully well
what would happen if she did-Nancy wouldn't have
taken it likely. "Is okay" Nancy concluded and took
a seat. "Dear, you have to go and prepare for
lectures, i will take care of Mama" she told
Marvelous. "I don't want to go" she replied. "No,
you must go" Michael insisted before she walked
home to prepare. *** Sandra thought of the idea
Angela gave her. Of course, she had not been
outside since she came to U.K otherwise, she
would have been in a relationship-if not courtship
because she was more than beautiful with his
brother's body complexion. "You have to give it a
try, you are so beautiful that every man will like to
date and marry you. Just do it and get away with
this sad mood, please" Angela had encouraged
her. Sandra stood up and looked at herself in the
mirror. She remembered her ex-date who
purposely broke up with her due to the pregnancy.
Of course she never told him the person
responsible for it. "You have to move on with your
life" she said talking to herself in the mirror. ***
Michael sat on another chair facing Nancy, they
both looked at each other and Nancy glanced at
his dressing again. "Where were you when the
typhoid stroke your mother down?" she asked
looking straight into his eyes. "I was at home"
Michael replied. "You mean you slept dressing like
this?" "Yes... No.. I.." he scratched his bushy hair.
"I actually put them on before i came to the
hospital" Nancy looked at him with the corner of
her eyes. She knew he wasn't sincere but decided
to leave the matter and concentrate on Mrs Glory.
Meanwhile, Marvelous was on her way to the
campus. Amanda had already gone out after a long
wait. She stood in a romantic position discussing
with a guy. Henry, who was on his way to lectures
saw her and felt jealous. Amanda sighted forward
and their eyes caught together. She knew he was
jealous but she continued laughing and discussing
with the guy. Few hours later of long lectures,
Henry came out of the lecture hall with Raymond
still not looking happy. They both sat down on a
lonely place. "Guy, you have been looking sad,
what's the problem?" "I saw Amanda with a guy
and i know she saw me too" Raymond smiled. "So
you are Jealous over a girl you have not proposed.
Why can't you tell her your mind.." Raymond was
interrupted by the presence of Marvelous and
Amanda. "Hi guys" Amanda said but Henry didn't
respond or look at her. Marvelous sat beside
Raymond with a sad face and he took her to a
distance to know what her problem is, leaving
Raymond and Amanda. "Is like you are not in a
good mood today" Amanda said yet no response.
"What's it?" she asked again.. Meanwhile,
Marvelous had told Raymond about her sick
mother and wanted to go home. They came back
to Amanda and Henry who were quiet and
Marvelous wondered why because it was unlike
them. Amanda stood up. "Since you don't want to
talk to me, I'm going" she walked out followed by
Marvelous. Raymond sat back on his position
looking at Henry. "You mean you didn't talk to
her?" He asked and smiled.. Tbc . Episode 11
Continues.. Amanda walked to her apartment
quietly with Marvelous without saying a word.
Marvelous noticed that it was unlike her because
she cannot be quiet just like that without a cause.
Therefore, she asked, "Amanda, are you okay?"
"I'm fine" she replied without looking at her as she
dropped her bag. "You are not fine, i know when
you are. So tell me, is Henry the cause?" "I don't
know, he suddenly changed. Can you imaging he
refused to talk to me?!" "That's why you are
behaving as if he's your boyfriend" Marvelous
said. Amanda turned and sat on a chair looking at
Marvelous. "He's not my boyfriend!" she said in a
loud voice. "Then you shouldn't worry about him"
Marvelous postrated forward and asked in a low
voice, "Or do you have feelings for him?" Amanda
suddenly became quiet. "I just like him" she
replied. Suddenly, Marvelous's phone rang and she
quickly picked it. "You have to come to the
hospital now!" Nancy said from the other side of
the phone. She quickly stood up in a hurry and
grabbed her bag. "What's the problem?" Amanda
asked. "Marvelous!" she shouted and rushed after
her. "I'm needed in the hospital" she replied. They
boarded a cab and sat at the back seat alone.
Amanda could see Marvelous shedding tears
already. "Stop crying as if your mother is already
dead" "I just have a bad feeling about this urgent
call" she began to cry the most. Amanda placed
her hand on her shoulder and began to dry her
tears. The taxi driver glanced through the front
mirror and shook his head piteously. *** Angela
decided to help Sandra get a job in her father's
industry. They went to their house and she
introduced Sandra to her father before they went
to the industry. It was small but magnificent.
Sandra could see both white and black people
walking up and down. Workers greeted Angela as
they entered in an office. Sandra could see a
computer on the table and other documents. "This
will be your new office" Angela said. "Me?" Sandra
placed her hand on her chest and glanced at the
office again. "Yes, you will be attending to people.
Don't worry, i will put you through" Sandra sat on
the black rotating office chair that was before the
table smiling. *** Henry regretted ever snubbing
Amanda due to Raymond adviced him that what he
did was wrong. Therefore, he picked his phone to
call her. Amanda glanced at her phone as she was
in the taxi and saw that it was Henry, then she
ignored it. Henry tried severally, yet his effort
proved to be negative. Marvelous walked into the
hospital with Amanda in a hurry. She opened the
door of the room where her mother was lying.
Nancy rushed and held her in tears. She didn't
understand, then she looked at the corner of the
room where Michael was weeping seriously with
tears all over his face. She saw her mother
covered with a wrapper and rushed her. "No, this
is not true.." she began to shed tears. She
uncovered the wrapper and saw her mother lying
lifeless. "Mummy? Mummy! Mummy please wake
up. Mummy!!" she fell on the floor crying
seriously. Amanda was already in tears when she
saw that Mrs Glory had joined her late husband,
then she walked closer to her and both cried which
made Micheal and Nancy cry the most. Suddenly,
two nurses came inside the room and covered the
body again. They adviced them to stopped crying.
"This is a hospital" one of them said. 6HOURS
LATER Michael hurried to Kenneth's house. He
was both scared and angry as he banged his door
opened. "Kenneth!" he shouted. Kenneth came out
from his room. "Slow down bro, what's the
problem?" "You have to tell me nothing but the
truth, did i kill my mum?!" "Is your mum dead?"
"Yes, few hours ago" Kenneth sat down. "I'm sorry
about your mother, bro, but i must tell you that
her death has nothing to do with what you are told
to do" "It better not be, because if i find out, you
are dead!!" Michael exclaimed and left the house
immediately. Kenneth stood up, he walked to the
bar for a drink. He drank a glass of it and smiled.
