“Do you want to send me to my early grave Somadina?” I asked, looking suspiciously at him.
“No aunty! Please don’t think that way. I won’t let any harm come to you”
“How am I sure you won’t disappear once I agree to help free you?” I asked.
“I won’t disappear aunty. My friends and I will do our best to protect you”.
“Your friends and yourself will do your best to protect me, you say?”.
“Yes aunty!” He answered and nodded.
I eyed him angrly. Like did he hear himself at all?
“You didn’t even say you and your friends will certainly protect me. It is you and your friends will do your best… How does that sound to you?” I said angrily.
“I’m sorry aunty. I didn’t mean to sound that way but I assure you, my friends and I will definitely protect you” He reaffirmed.
I stared at him in a manner that expressed belittling someone with the question of: how can he and his friends protect me when they couldn’t protect themselves? Lingering in my mind.
“How will you and your friends protect me? What are the measures you will take?” I asked.
He lifted his eyes to the ceiling, and for a moment he kept looking at the ceiling, saying nothing.
“So you and your friends don’t even have a ready plan on how you will save me? And you want me to embark on a deadly journey?…” I asked.
“…So If I should say let’s go now, and we start going to God knows where you will take me; and paraventure we arrive the place; and I enter the secret room and finally sees the coffin and tries to open it to set you free; but suddenly Shegu’s father demonically appear and tries to kill me and I shout:
“Somadina! Save me!”… So this is how you will just keep quiet and I will be faced with my untimely death? You and your friends will just watch me die for a crime I didn’t commit? For helping you?”
He brought down his face quickly.
“No aunty, I will not keep quiet; I will not let you die!” He started demonstrating.
“If Shegu’s father tries to do anything to you, we will fight him”.
“You will fight him?”
“Yes!” He nodded
“With what?” I swing my head. “With what will you and your friends use to fight him?”
I sounded almost harsh because I was beginning to get provoked.
“Our powers” he answered.
“Chai God!” I exclaimed angrily with a demeanour that says: this boy thinks I’m here for child’s play.
“Your powers?” I said scanning my eyes on his muscles and all over him.
“Yes!” He still affirmed and that got me provoked and I asked angrily:
“Do you have spiritual powers?”
“No!” He wagged his head.
“Do you have magical powers?”
“No!” He still wagged his head.
“So how do you and your friends intend to protect me? With what powers are you going to use?”
He turned his face a little up, towards his left; the direction his ghost friends were. Then he paid attention as if his ghost friends were telling him something. In twenty seconds time, he turned his face towards me and said:
“We will use Mr. Patty’s power”
I looked at him angrily and weakened of not knowing what to say or do to him. Like I’m talking about something that is equivalent to life and death; a death that one would embark on and may never return and he was talking like it was a movie we were about to act. He noticed I was beginning to feel paranoid towards his response so without asking him who his Mr. Patty was or about his plans, he started to explain.
“Mr. Pat is a living ghost who has magical powers and he’s a friend to my friends; Shegu and Goerge Solomon. We will contact him and he will help us. So don’t worry, he is going to help us save you”
“Okay!” I said and remained quiet. In my mind, I was praying that break time should be over so that the school regulator will ring the bell and everyone will go back to their classes and I will go back to the teaching work that brought me to that school, not listening to a request that wants to send me to my early grave.
He looked at me. I refused to let our eyes meet.
“Aunty, is it only ‘okay’ you will say?” He asked.
“What else do you want me to say? I came to help you but You aren’t bringing up a better plan of helping you incase I become the captive. I can’t go to save you and end up dieing. I’m the bread winner of my family as we speak now. My father is late; my mother is seriously sick; my younger siblings are still in school and they are all depending on me. I can’t go and die” I said
“You won’t die, aunty. I promise. Please help me”
“Now that I’ve heard your wish and how you don’t have any plan of saving me if I should embark on the journey of your wish of no return. I will like to go home and think about it and decide if I want to die young now or not” I told him.
That moment, the school bell rang. It was break over warning. I felt relieved.
“Somadina, you can go back to your class now” I told him and made to stand up but he quickly grabbed my hand.
“Aunty please, I no longer have time. Shegu’s father is going to burry me in three days time. If you don’t help me prevent him, I will be dead forever. Please aunty, let’s start going to his house today or tomorrow morning” He said, sounding serious and pitiful.
“I can’t go to Shegu’s house without you telling me the proper plan you and your friends had already drafted towards saving my own life should the man tries to k*ill me”
I forcefully remove my hand from his and stood up.
“One more question” I said.
“For all this while you’ve been trapped and roaming about on earth, did you try to reach out to your parents?”
“The few times I tried to tell my Mom that I was trapped in a coffin; she panicked and became unconscious. I feared she would die, so I stopped going to our house”
“Did you try telling your father?” I asked.
“No! My father doesn’t believe things easily, so I didn’t bother going to him”
“Anyways, if paraventure, I decide to go and die for you; which I know I’m never gonna make such decision; we will need to alert your parents because their help would be needed” I said and started to walk my way out.
He quickly stood up and followed me.
“Aunty please, you need to help me, I beg you. If you want, you can come up with your own better plans. Anything you say I should do, I will do it; Just make up your mind to help me please. I only have three days left and the journey to Shegu’s house is far; it could take a whole day to get there”
I stopped and looked at him, he was in crying mood as usual and tears were already rolling down his eyes.
“Did you just say, Shegu’s house is far?” I asked.
“Yes aunty!” He answered. “His house is in Abuja and my house is also in Abuja.”
I widened my eyes in wonder and fixed it on him.
“And it is this Abuja house that you want me to go and set you free?” I asked.
He nodded swiftly, looking at me but avoiding an eye contact with me.
“So you want me to travel from here to Abuja” I said in a half statement, half question tune. “You want me to travel from Abia State to the big city of Abuja; a journey of about twelve hours?”
My eyes was still widened and fixed on him.
“Aunty, that’s why we need to start going today or tomorrow morning; the journey is too long…” He said, still avoiding to have an eye contact with me.
“…if it were to be only me, I will just disappear to Abuja as I always do. But you can’t disappear and I have to go with you, so we have board a car. Or do you want us to go by flight?”
I eyed him.
“Somadina, I’m yet to decide whether I want to die now or not! So please, go back to your class!” I told him and walked hurriedly to my assigned class.
