Me: I love you too, but can i sleep in your
house?
.
Dupe: I wish you could, but my sister is here
with me, am not living alone
.
Me: Ok dear, you are such a wonderful lady, i
kissed her forehead
.
“Hmmmm this girl is something else o”
“please who is this girl self?”
“seems she is seeing vision”
“she said i picked 1000naira when i went to
bought yogurt for her which is true”
“she said i will have a visitors and i had”
“now she said i should not sleep in my room
that something bad will happened”
“Am yet to convinced”
“she said Iceland will wins 2-1”
“Let me wait till the end of the match, if
Iceland wins i will believe her”
.
We walked back to the viewing center for
the continuation of the match, to cut the
long story short Iceland won 2-1, i was
extremely happy because of 40k i just won,
all thanks to “OJ”

Me: No problem dear, i will not sleep there
.
Cnn: congratulation guy, our ticket is won,
we are now 40k richer
.
Me: Am happy bro, but how are they going
to pay us? Because i don’t rememberd when
we give them our bank account
.
Cnn: they don’t pay through bank, they are
paying with cash
.
Me: how?
.
Cnn: We will go there tomorrow by 12pm
with our winning tickets, once tender the
ticket to the lady that played it for us, she
would pay out our money
.
Me: So the ticket is very important?

.
Me: Ok boss, please let’s seeing dupe off, she

.
Cnn: Dupe why nah? I thought you will sleep

.
Dupe: No sir, my sister cannot sleep alone
.
Cnn: ok o
** We followed dupe to her house, her
house is not too far to mine, After dupe
entered her room, we also headed to our
destinations, on our way, i stylished told cnn
about what dupe told me**
.
Me: Guy na your house i want to sleep this
night o
.
Cnn: you must be dreaming, what of your
own house? Moreover don’t you see my
queen beside me? Let me tell you incase you
don’t know, Tola is sleeping in my house?
.
Tola: No problem uncle pesman, you can
sleep with us, you and your friend will sleep
on the bed and i will sleep on the floor
.
Cnn: No way, you cannot sleep in my house,
maybe next time
.
Me: Ok guy goodnight, i left him and Tola, i
don’t know what next to do, i brought out
my phone scroll through my contact to
called some of our friends, maybe i can sleep
with them. I called like 12 numbers, some
are switched off, some don’t pick, some said
they were not in town, some said they were
having visitors. I tried all my possible best
but all went in vain, i don’t see where to
pass the night, i made up my mind to sleep
in my room *** .
.
pesman act like a man,
nothing will happened to you, Yes you are
right nothing will happened to me, i
reasoned with my inner mind ***
I opened my door, entered my room, i was
shaking like xmas goat that is waiting for
his judgment, i switched off my phone
hiding it somewhere, i says some prayers, i
asked for God protection over my life, off my
wears left only boxer and singlet
(underware) on me.
.
I lay flat on my bed to sleep, but sleep eluded
me, i couldn’t sleep, i was scared.
proper closed, my door
was closed ** Pesman don’t scared, you are
saved ** i was still in thought that i don’t
know when i slept off
—————————————-
.
A ray of flash light flashed across my face,
my eye swanged opened to face the reality,
there were two guys in my room with local
gun and cutlass held firmly in their hands,
my heart
skipped like 10sec before it started to be
beating faster, my underware was soak
with
my sweat, i felt like ground should open and
swallowed me, one of the guy moved closed
to
me and landed hot slap on my cheek, my ear
started malfunctioning immediately, i can’t
hear clearly ( Am doomed i’m not president
buhari oo, who will fly me to London for ear
treatment?)
.
Guy1: Stand up, where did you keep your
phone and money?
.
Me: My lord, i don’t have any money on me
sir, and i just lost my phone this afternoon
.
Guy2: Don’t tell me you don’t have any
money and phone in this room, if we search
your room and found money and phone,
you are in trouble.
.
The second guy went outside, entered again
with chair in his hand, oya sitdown on this
chair my friends, he commanded me
I sat on the chair, he unzip his bag brought
out a robe and tied me down to the chair,
my
mouth was also plastered.
.
They started searching my room looking
what to stealing. My mind flashed back to
Dupe, her words continued ringing on my
head ” Something is telling me that you
should not sleep in your room this night, i
don’t know what is going to happened o,
but my instinct is telling me something bad
will
happened pesman please don’t sleep in
your house”
.
Pesman you are doomed and dupe warned
me ooo, how wished i could turn back the
hand of time
