[STORY] ESTHER MY LANDLORD’S DAUGHTER (Episode 24)

Episode 24.

My eyes opened fiam, the moment she said that I was responsible.

With due respect ma, I am not responsible for Esther’s pregnancy, I said, not knowing weather I was denying or defending myself.

It’s Alright, we shall see, she said and left.

The moment she left, I began panicking. Shey the helmet bust ni, abi na my head no fit understand. I’m not responsible, I said to myself and pushed the thoughts out from my head.

It wasn’t even up to an hour after Esther’s mother and I had a conversation, when I saw her again, coming towards me, but this time, with an envelope in her hand.

She got to where I was seated, stretched out the envelope to me and I collected it. She didn’t even speak after I collected the envelope, she only turned and left.

I opened the envelope and saw that it was a letter from the court, informing me that I have to stand a trial on Monday by 8am.

My heart skipped. So Las Las Indaboski has finally put me into trouble.

I sighed to myself and took the letter inside. I was laying on my bed, when Esther call came in. I picked it up immediately and put it on loud speaker.

Hello dear, she said, in a happy voice.

Esther, I said. Nelly didn’t succeed, and I’m telling you, you won’t succeed either, I added, before ending the call.

She called back several times which got me angry and I blocked her number.

The next morning was Sunday, so I prepared very early and went for service. I knew the only way to win this case, was to leave everything to God. I know I have wronged him, but he’ll always forgive me.

This particular Sunday was way different from all other Sundays. I prayed and prayed, like I was expecting 300million naira from God. But why won’t I pray like that, now that I have to stand trial the next day, not even with a lawyer just alone.

I left service that day, and went back home, feeling in my spirit that my prayers has been answered.

When I got home,I stayed indoors till the next day.

The next day, which was Monday, I woke up very early, I prayed vehemently, brush, took my bathe, had a very sumptuous meal, got dressed and went outside and sat down.

I saw Esther and her parent, also preparing. Today is going to be eat against Indaboski.

It wasn’t long after that, when a black Benz pack infront of their house.

They hurried up and got into the car. The driver beckoned on me to come and I did. I got to the car, and saw the front seat was vacant. Without much thought, I got in and sat down.

The drive to the court wasn’t that long, twas a thirty minutes drive. We got to the court and driver switched off the car engine and told us to get down and follow him, which we did.

He took us straight into the court, showed Esther and he parent where to sit. He was about showing me where to sit, when he looked at me in a weird way, and asked me about my lawyer. I told him that I didn’t have one, that I’m innocent, and that’s all that matters.

He smiled and showed me where to sit, which was beside Esther and her parents, but not that close.

There’s something I noticed about Esther’s father, ever since from the house, he never spoke nor showed any sign of anger. Well I fear quiet people honestly, they can kill you, and chop off your head, while just staring at you.

My eyes and Esther’s met, I smiled and she smiled back. See werey, me that God got my back, she that lies got her back we’ll see.

Soon the judge enter into the court, and we all stood up.

We sat, when he had sat down. Some introduction was made, and soon I was called to stand trail session.
