DON'T CHOKE ME

TRAPPED WITH OPTIONS

what!!!!!! .... mama you mean the D.P.O told you this, not believing my ears, yes my son she manage to say, he went as far as telling me I can't do nothing to him, that we had no money to pursue this case, that I should better considered his proposer, she said with the little English she could speak and accompany with our tribal language, I look up to the ranked hole ceiling with enough cobwebs painting it black, back to my mom who at this point as already started letting out some cough which she tried to hide from me, I knew this stress and pain she is going through is telling on her heath, she held on to the gate from outside with tears streaming her eyes, mama stop crying I said trying to console her, she used part of her already ragged wrappers to wipe her tearing eye, I watch as she slowly let herself down to a sitting position at the front of the cell, resting her jaw on her palm, as mama eaten I ask turning towards Bella, she refused to eat, I had begged her to but she wouldn't listen she said, mama I called trying to get her attention, you remember when I was little I said smiley, when you will have to go to bed with empty stomach giving me the last food in the house, even when I ask you why you were not eating, you always tell me that any food I ate; part of it always go to your stomach, that as long as I am filled you are also filled,on hearing you say those words I always rush my food into my mouth so that you will quickly get your share even if it wasn't enough for me, she look at me with a little smile, mama I grew up thinking it was so, not until I realized it was because you never wanted me to go to bed hungry, mama I am telling you now, I want you to eat so that I can equally be filled I said beckoning to my sister to give me the cooler of rice they brought, I scoop some amount of rice in a spoon, fed my mom with every bit, just when I was done, a dark shaded police man who had been in charge of my torture walked in, oya oya make una go outside go wait, (you all should go outside and wait ) no more visitors here he said, Bella I called, please take mama home, I had to beg her to go home which she draggingly accepted.

I sat back on the ground resting my back on the concrete wall, with sweat covering my body, with my mind drifting me to thought land, I thought of how my life would have been if I had learn a trade, I am sure my life would not be a mess, I thought. now I have about a #62,000 thousand to repay, which would have increase because of the profit i promise them,how on earth Will I get this money I thought with my heart pounding, for sure I knew some of those boys belong to some secrete cult or the other, I never cared, all I cared about was the money, how will I face them, It better for me to end my miserable life and be done with it than to be shot and be tag a cultist, even after death I thought, not knowing I was speaking out loud, oh boy na person wey wan kill you, you dey find, I fit help you with that, na just to press your neck die inside here, police nor Go mind self (are you looking for someone to murder you, look no further I can help you with that, it just to suffocate you, even the police won't care about it ) a thick bearded guy with large muscles definitely meant for three person, with a shining skull suggested, while looking at me with His bloodshot killer eyes, no thank you I manage to say, he smiled with a wild grin, resting his head back on the belle of another inmate he used as pillow.

Mr man, stand up, that was the voice of the dark shaded police officer A.KA the torturer, at least that was what i named him, I always wonder what is his own with dark shades, D.P.O wan see you (D.P.O want to see you ), I stood up sluggishly at the same time holding my belle in place, who at this time is wearing of pain, I followed him to the D.P.O office, braising myself for what is to come, only to be greeted with a surprise, Vivian I called out in surprise, what are you doing here I ask, she looked at me with her eyes soak in tears, Steve I am sorry I was not there when you needed me the most, she poured out, she held me close to herself, but was cut short by the sound of claps, that was definitely the D.P.O, I can see you are happy to see your girlfriend he said, GIRLFRIEND!!!!.... I called out in shock, turning towards Vivian only to be greeted with a smile, only if she knew I thought in silence, you see Mr Steve, the D.P.O drew my attention, I know you would love to leave this place as soon as possible, wouldn't you, he ask with much concern, yes sir, trying to catch a glimpse of where he was driving at, Good, very good he said, that depends on whether you are ready to leave this place or not, don't understand sir I ask in confusion, don't be a child he said, I know, you know, what I am talking about, he said pulsing out His mouth, waiting to see if I got is point, only to be met with disappointment of the fact, I don't know what he was talking about, OK OK OK ...... he said adjusting his chair to a more comfortable position, it about what I demanded in place of the cash for your freedom, the only change is the focus which shifted from your sister to a more sweetable, and palatable source, which will be your girlfriend, he said with a wicked smirk on his face, that would not be hard, if she truly loves you, that is never an option I said trying to plead my way to his heart, what is he talking about Vivian ask turning her gaze from the D.P.O to me, he ....he ... want to have s*x with you for my freedom I stutter ..... What!!!.... she exclaims in shock, D.P.O I am going to take this case to a human right organization she threatened, the D.P.O burst into an historical laughter, officer KY he called, that lanky dark shaded officer walked in, please can you get me this young man phone he said pointing his bleached fingers at me. the officer left and almost immediately came back with my phone tied in a black rubber bag. young lady, you were talking about human right .... I will advice you to hold that thought and look at what I found on your Boyfriend phone, he said pointing the phone at our faces. what!!! I said in shock .......
