KASARACHI
Kasarachi - Episode 21
(Tell it to God)
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
"Please Aunty Tochi I'm begging you...I don't have anywhere else to go. Please tell them to leave me alone...." I said as I struggled with the two street thugs that were dragging my hands.
We are standing at the center of the sitting room. Aunty Tochi and Aunty Brenda were standing side by side in front of me.
It turns out that the person Aunty Tochi said will be picking me up are two street stouts. She is throwing me out of her house tonight and needs their help to take me far away!
Thankfully, there is electricity supply so I could clearly see their faces and reactions.
Aunty Tochi carelessly threw my bag at my feet as she said without looking at my face...
"See Kasarachi I have tried for you so it's about time you just go already. I brought you here...fed you...cloth you...but the only way you thought to pay me back is by trying to snatch my girlfriend from me!"
I was dumbstruck when I heard the word 'snatch'. Aunty Brenda began chuckling lightly and swiftly brought out her tongue in a bid to make me feel worse than I feel.
"Aunty please I'm begging you....I didn't do anything. I've never tried to snatch Aunty Brenda or anything from you. You can ask Aunty Brenda here...she will tell you., she's not a little girl, how can she be snatched?!" I said while crying terribly as Aunty Tochi turned her gaze at me
I tried going on my knees to beg her but I couldn't do so, since I was being held in both hands by the mean looking guys.
"Don't mind her babe. I asked her to sleep with me and she agreed saying that she normally sees us whenever we are making out in the bedroom...and wants to taste how it feels like too. I sure made her feel so good that she kept coming back for more and it was in the process of trying to oblige her.... that you caught us in the kitchen that day!" Aunty Brenda said shrugging her shoulders
I looked at her in bewilderment wondering how she was able to come up with such lies.
I mean she just twisted the whole thing that has been happening. She is the one who is always demanding that I sleep with her but I've turned down her requests all the time.
The lies were believable but at the same time bland because I have strong moral principles and I thought Aunty Tochi whom I have stayed with would know that so well.
Moreover following her fabricated story, isn't Aunty Tochi supposed to be angry with Aunty Brenda for asking me to sleep with her in the first place...? Why only me...?
"I don't know what she is talking about Aunty Tochi. I am innocent and I've never in my life thrown myself at Aunty Brenda or whatever she's saying. I find what you people engage in as the same gender distasteful....so why would I want to join in the act....?" I said hoping Aunty Tochi will see the sense in the picture I am painting.
"Please go Kasarachi. I have tried for you and I don't want you to stay here again. I have put ten thousand into your bag. I believe that should be enough to help you sort out yourself until you find a job to sustain yourse..." Aunty Tochi said flippantly and couldn't conclude on her words when Aunty Brenda angrily lashed at her
"Fiona you mean you put ten thousand naira inside her bag...? For what exactly...? Isn't it enough that she is leaving with the nice clothes you brought for her...? Sincerely you've always been the one spoiling this girl. Tell me why you are adding money for her again when she doesn't deserve it...?"
Somehow Aunty Brenda's statement made me wonder about the same thing.
Why would Aunty Tochi care enough to give me money when from her words, she dislikes me for what I supposedly did with Aunty Brenda....?
I managed to wriggle out of the stout's hands and went on my knees in front of Aunty Tochi while tightly holding onto her legs. In that kneeling position, I continued pleading with Aunty Tochi as I shed tears.
"Aunty Tochi please don't do this to me. You know I don't have anyone else in this city and going back to the village is not an option right now but I wouldn't mind. Okay fine Aunty....I promise you that I will not come anywhere close to Aunty Brenda ever again. Please just let me stay in the house" I said pleadingly and the guys told me shut up that I'm raising my voice
With the way Aunty Tochi's eyes softened seeing me on my knees and how she sighed deeply made me realize something!
Aunty Tochi probably knows who is telling the truth between us and I think this is her indirectly choosing Aunty Brenda over me on who will stay in the house or go away. I suppose it's her conscience that made her put the money inside my bag for my usage.
To be honest I'm not even surprised. I mean I don't offer anything much while Aunty Brenda is the person paying more than half the house rent and also her sexual partner.
"There's nothing I can do for you again Kasarachi....I'm sorry...." Aunty Tochi said plainly as if my pleas didn't move her at all
Aunty Tochi then turned to look at the guys who had been quietly standing and awaiting instructions from her. She said to the meanest looking guy.
"Donja take her to the outskirts of the town...anywhere that's far from here. I don't want her to have a means of finding her way back here. Do you hear me...?"
"Okay boss mama. Your wishes are our command. Trust us...we will do exactly as you've said" the Donja guy said nodding his head in understanding
"But omo! Boss mama this girl fine oh! See breasts and yansh nau! Make we service her small...so she no go waste for street!" The second guy blurted out using the pidgin language as he kept staring at me lustfully and licking his lips.
"Is that even a question...? Ark you can do with her whatever you damn fit! Since she finds the same gender distasteful...I believe she will find you guys tasteful...." Aunty Brenda said sarcastically and Aunty Tochi looked at her sternly. That look alone made her keep shut and didn't talk further.
Honestly my heart was pounding fast when I heard that from the second guy and Aunty Brenda. It was Aunty Tochi's stern warning to them that made me calm down a little bit.
Aunty Tochi stopped looking at Aunty Brenda. She turned to look at the two guys intently and pointed her mid-finger at them.
"Ark you had better not try what's on your mind....else I will ensure you and your entire family regret it! Make sure none of you injure Kasarachi or harass her s*xually. Ark and Donja...I hope I am understood...?" Aunty Tochi asked while seriously looking at them for a reply
"Yes boss mama!" They both chorused and roughly dragged me up from my kneeling position. I didn't even struggle with them again because I knew it was pointless.
"Better! You can leave now. I need you guys back in the next three hours. Remember we have an operation in Lekki street tonight. So hurry up and drop her then come back here quick!" Aunty Tochi said dismissively and walked towards the bedroom
Aunty Brenda just looked at me in disdain and then she hissed angrily as she walked behind Aunty Tochi into the bedroom.
One of the guys carried my bag from the floor and together they dragged me outside to where a black car was packed.
I saw some of her neighbors outside but they pretended like they didn't see that I was being dragged forcefully.
I'm not surprised since everyone in this city is always minding their own businesses, even when someone is in danger or dying. It makes me really miss the village because everyone there was their brother's keeper.
The two thugs bundled me and roughly threw me into the passenger seat of the car not minding if I would hit my head or not.
For an hour and twenty minutes we were being driven on the road by Donja one of the guys while Ark sat beside him.
From the distance, I could tell that it was an entirely different town in Lagos that is probably far from where we stayed.
I mentally resolved in my mind that I will still find my way back home to beg Aunty Tochi again and then it suddenly clicked!
That oh! I don't even know the exact name of the town we stayed in.
I know the name of the street but the town is what I don't know and the paper it was written on is no longer with me.
I had thrown it away after Aunty Tochi took me home because I never thought there will come a day I will need it again.
Now how would I be able to go back after these guys drop me so I can probably beg Aunty Tochi again...? The greatest setback here is; will she even listen to my pleas...?
We are driving down a narrow street that has two roads in front,
when Ark the second guy sitting with Donja at the front seat spoke out inaudibly...
I was at the backseat and they probably thought I was sleeping since I've been quiet. But I was wide awake and I could hear them clearly when they began talking.
"Guy abeg let us do this thing sharp sharp...after all boss mama is not here to know if we obeyed her or not. You sef can't you see how busty this girl is...? Abi you want us to drop her in the middle of nowhere for these street guys to enjoy her food alone...? Lets take our share first nau!"
As I heard that my heart started beating fast and somersaulted many times. Thankfully Donja nodded his head indicating a NO.
"We can't disobey boss mama. That will be like going against our oath of obedience so lets just stick to the instructions Ark!" Donja said conclusively with his eyes focused on the road
"It's okay...no problem man. I was simply making a suggestion...it's not like I really meant it!" Ark said plainly and went silent.
I sighed deeply in relief although I wasn't totally comfortable.
For about ten minutes, the car was so quiet and nobody talked. My spirit was unsettling and I couldn't understand why until later on
By now, we've just driven into one of the roads which is untarred.
That's when Ark tapped Donja's back and asked him to stop that he wanted to urinate.
Donja out of pity had stopped the car but instead of going out, Ark used the p*stol on his thigh to hit him hard on the head.
It must have been a preconceived idea from Ark after his offer was turned down.
Donja wasn't expecting the attack and that's why he couldn't avoid it on time.
After the hit on his head, Donja slumped on the steering wheel and Ark smirked mischievously while cussing in sarcasm...
"Obedient fool! You actually thought I would allow you to ruin my plans tonight....? Never!" Ark said as he drew open the car's door and pulled Donja out to the ground, not caring to check if he's déâd or still alive.
My eyes bulged out in fear and my mouth widened but no words came out. It was more like I had entered a trauma shock!
Everything was happening so fast and before I could come to terms with what had happened earlier,
Ark immediately jumped on the driver seat and clamped the door close.
My heart was palpitating when Ark reversed the car and began driving in speed towards the other road by the side....
