EPISODE 12
Behold it was Vivian who saved me. She took me to her house and asked me to take my bath, I just could not believe it, how come enemies became friends. After taking my bath, she told me she was very sorry for everything she did to me and that it wasn’t her mind to betray me and even joining THE NIPPLES LADIES cult group. She said she was born and brought up from a Christian background but she never knew what came over her that made her became bad and that ever since she joined the cult group she had no rest of mind, engaging in all their wicked and heartless activities gave her no joy. She wanted to quit the group but it wasn’t easy and that if she dare her life would be lost so she have been looking for ways to get rid of them and the only remedy was to kill all of them so she had no other option but to utilized that opportunity , she had made the plans for it immediately they reported me to their male counterpart so she crossed her heart to kill them so that she and even me can be free from their wickedness. I was so heart broken hearing her. Then she asked me why I was afraid to have sex with a lady. I opened up to her about the blood covenant I made with Patience while still in secondary school and that the day I have sex with another lady I will die. She was happy for me but scourged me for making such a silly mistake. I and Vivian became good friends, she went on to teach me graphics design and that was how I became totally free from the hands of THE NIPPLES LADIES, free from threat and torment, they was no more challenges, no more running and no more heart break. The death of THE NIPPLES LADIES brought much joy in the campus and liberty to as many guys that were also under torture in the hands of these demonic ladies.
Althrough my stay in the university there was no more troubles until I graduated but instead of spending five years I ended up spending six years because I had references in some of my courses as a result of the lack of concentration and the frustrations caused by THE NIPPLES LADIES. After my one year youth service I got scholarship to further for my masters degree and I spent two years. So in all I ended up spending ten years in my academic pursuit. I got a job a year later and settled down and now it was time to go for Patience. I lost my phone when I was taken to the bush during my experience with THE NIPPLES LADIES so I lost Patience’s contact and ever then I could not reach her this was another trouble. I didn’t really know Patience’s village all I knew was that she was from Edo state. I went to where they were leaving before but no one had her contact. For over a year and six months I searched for Patience but could not get her. My parents were over my neck to get married to another lady since I could not find her but I refused, I kept fate that one day I was going to see her. Luckily enough for me, one day I clashed with one of her old friend back then In secondary school. She is happily married with two beautiful kids. I asked her of Patience’s contact but she said she also lost her contact but all she knew about Patience was that she is from Ishan in Edo state. It was a welcome development. The next day I traveled straight away to Ishan Edo state, it wasn’t easy at all, I went from cline to cline, house to house searching for Patience. For over three months I could not locate her. Never at all was it easy searching for some one in an unknown location. I could remember been robbed several times, slept in uncompleted buildings, during the search for patience i clashed thrice with some bad boys who in each occasions stripped me of all my belongings, tricked by thugs who claimed to know her but I did not give up hope I kept going back to Edo state starting from where i ended in the previous search until as God may have it one day I met someone who knew her and she took me to Patience’s house. Patience was so happy to see me she had already lost hope that I was going to come for her since she could not reach me again. Patience was already 29years old while I was 30years, she had kept her fate with me for over 12years. Patience had rejected up to seven men who came to marry her and her patents had concluded that she was a witch and good for nothing , when Patience told me all these I wept for her.
When I got to her place, I saw her, patience was already getting old, older than I was. The pains she went through, the humiliations, the mockery and the shame. Everybody in the village called her witch and refused to help her with anything. If she needs anything she work hard to get it all by herself. I could not stop weeping hearing her story and everything she went through waiting for me. If it had not been for the blood covenant we made it would not have been like that. We both narrated each other’s stories and everything we went through to survive just to keep the oath we took. I applauded her for her courage and she also did same to me. I went to her parents and told them I wanted to marry their daughter and when they confirmed from Patience if she was interested she said yes, they were very happy and said at last their daughter have accepted to marry they never knew we were bound under an oath.
I took off the plans for marriage immediately. I and Patience went to the hospital for blood test and other medical check up. When the result came out my blood genotype was ‘AS' likewise that of Patience also. The doctor advised we can't get married that ‘AS' can not marry ‘AS' our children will be sickle cell. This became another big issue. Patience burst into tears hearing the advise of the doctor, I took her home and consoled her. I told her maybe we were not meant for each other and that we should break the covenant so that each of us can be free and can go either ways. Patience was no longer attracting to me again, she has become old and not matching my class quality if it had not been for the blood covenant we took I wouldn’t have even consider marrying her.
When I told Patience we should break the covenant she bluntly refused and said the marriage must push through that she can not be waiting for over 12years as a lady following the predicament she went through only for me to tell her to break the covenant. She declared that the marriage must hold….
