fear of the unknown

chapter 4

At work I couldn't concentrate at anything thinking about what will happen when I get home after work,I seriously prayed not to meet the strange lady when I get home promising never to engage in such foolishness,kasie!, startled at the sudden shout of my name that was accompanied with a shove on my shoulder, o boy what is the matter, you have gone too far absent minded, thank God I just rescued you, coming around, jide I have messed up again,having no reason to hide my situation to jide my colleague and friend,jide for the first time not willing to hear my story,see if it is about a girl breaking your heart please carry your cross, I have tried for you please, I had no option than to beg, of a truth jide has been there for me all through my previous heartbreaks,he tried coaching me on how to harden up on ladies, severally, at the heat of every heart break, he would take me out to drink beer or offer to hook me up with hookup girls to forget my sorrows of which I always turn down , jide please hear me out,this one is different, it's not heartbreak,okay, what is it, bringing my voice down, a lady slept in my house last night,jide's face brightening up, o boy who gave you tutorials, I hope you collected your three points ,stop jide let me finish, sorry go on, as I closed from work yesterday,on my way to my house,a 4matic benz nocked me off the road from behind at that dump site when going to my area,as I got up and rushed the car that eventually ran into the dump, only to see the angel sleeping and snoring on the steering, jide completing the story for me, and then you foolishly took her to your house,I nodded childishly waiting for my punishment.

look kasie, let me tell you the honest truth,you have used your own hand to killed yourself,you have either r***d the lady or you kidnapped her and you can't ask me to get involved,I regretted telling jide my problem because rather than getting solutions,he ended up amplifying it,I am dead,what do I do now, kasie what were you thinking, I have warned you to stop this your good person stuff,this world doesn't need it anymore,good people don't last in this part of the world but you will not listen,now you have entered into problem, just pray by the time you return home she should just go away and not report you to police.

I would have been okay with only the advice but the charge for r**e or kidnap is one I can never get out of should the lady report me,how stupid,foolish I was last night,I kept coursing myself,jide, surprisingly being insensitive at this dark time, guy see let me tell you, don't involve me in any police matter I warn you , he left me speechless,at this time realities downed on me that only the hardened enjoy this life, I made up my mind to take whatever comes out of the case .
