I opened the door and richard came in, I was so scared to the extent that the headache am battling with disappeared.He gave me a piercing gaze that seems to tear my heart apart,after staring at me for about 5secs,I manage to greet him
‘Hi Richard,you are looking for Edwin,right?, but he is not around’.He looked at me and smiled shaking his head
‘Mike,too much of alcohol is not good for a responsible man,I saw you yesterday drinking like a fish with some irresponsible guy’He said
‘No errm,errm,I did not drink annny alcohol’I told him while stammering
‘Anyway let that go with the wind,I came to asked you why you abandon your room’
He asked
‘Actually,I did not abandon my room,I came here to spend time with my friends’I manage to replied him in my shaky voice
‘You came to spending time with your friend or you run away from me’He barked at me
‘No,I did not ran from you o,’
‘I hope you still remembered our discussion and you must see me by 8:00pm in my or rather your room,is that clear? He asked me like he’s talking to his younger bro
‘yes richard I will come’
‘Mind you,you can still report to any security you like even boko haram and I will show the true Richard,Bye,will be expecting you by Eight.He said and left the room
‘Bye’I said faintly
I slumped onto the bed fully confused,I realised that I am covered with sweat,hot sweat for that matter.I was lost in thinking about what is going to happen,will I be able to scale through this hurdle?if I succumbed to his offer,what will dad say?what will mummy say?,how will dad face the congregation,oh my god,what will I do now?, I was still in deep thought when I glanced at the clock,I saw that the time is 2:00,I stood up and went straight to the bathroom to have my bath.After bathing,I looked for food in the house and luckily I found some packaged rice and I took one out of it.When I finished eating,I la!d down on the bed,I brought out my phone and dial mummy number
‘Hello micheal,how are you?
‘Am fine ma,’
‘hope there is no problem’She asked, I felt like telling her what is happening but I know she will report at the police station immediately and Richard has already warned me against.
‘No problem ma,just keep praying for me’I said
‘you know am praying for you and will always be praying for you,by the way,why is your voice like this?
‘Nothing,its just that am not well’
‘make sure you visit a doctor for treatment ,or do you want me to come over there’She asked
‘No need,I can take care of my self’
‘alright, take care,bye’She finally said
‘bye’I said and hanged up immediately.The time was around 4:00 when the guys arrived,I told them all that happened when they were away
‘o boy,if you don’t accept his proposal,he can waste you and you have only one option”Edwin said
I was so eager to know what can save me from this devil incarnated Richard that I had to shouted
‘pls Edwin tell me ‘
He looked at the others and they gave him the go ahead look,
'Im afraid mike,the only option for you is to join us'
