the twist

chapter 6

Hearing a knock as loud as that of police officers when they are on arrest duty sent my spirit out of my body for few seconds,so after all the prayers,God did not come through for me, I said in my mind, anyway I will try to explain that I only helped someone in a bad state,if it is not accepted then I will take my punishment in good faith.

Dragging my feet,I opened the door to behold the strange lady standing in front of my door, good evening,she greeted,good evening I responded,looking at her and also behind her for police escort,may I come in came next from her, without words ,I moved aside for her to enter, I quickly ran check outside,no police or even her own car was in sight, I turned back into the house to meet her already seated on my bed which serve dual purpose in case of visitors.

Standing in front of her to receive my judgement , I hope you saw the note I left for you,yes I did that's why I am here,why did you bring me to your house,what did you do to me, I expected these questions and had already decided to plead if I have the chance, please I am very sorry, I had no money on me and couldn't come up with another plan but I swear I did not take advantage of you, I waited to hear her verdict on my plea but none came instead,she bent her head, I continued to wait probably she was processing the commensurate punishment for me.

To my surprise, I started hearing sounds like someone sobbing, of cause I was not ready for any pampering of any lady,never again, she should just tell me she has reported me already or any other punishment so I can know where to start, it's already getting late as it 9:40pm, even if my stupid kind heart gets hold of me again,there is no way I can go close to her to enquire why she is crying since I am yet to come out from the trouble I am into already,all I could do is just stand and wait for her to finish crying,it is at this moment of waiting that I perceived once again a strong smell of alcohol, oh no, I have to do something and get myself out of this mess, as I was about to say something to her, she raised her head, please I m' ashamed of myself and I m very sorry for the stress I put you through last night but I still need your help, please I am sleeping over again in your house .
