The Prognosticator – Episode 2


© Adebayo Luqman Adekunle Pesman

Immediately i wake, i was down with
headache coupled with body pain, i don’t
seems to get myself
any longer .
.
Oh Dear lord! please safe me from iya
alakara o, i
prayed.
I checked the time and it was 1:05am.
Gbam! I
couldn’t sleep again till day break. Early in
the morning i headed to iya alakara room to
greet and apologizes for my wrong deed.
.
I prostrated for her
.
Me: Ekaaro ma ( Good morning ma)
.
Iya Alakara: Omo mi kaaro, bawo ni?
(Morning my son, how are you?)
.
Me: Dada ni ma, mowa lati wa be’yin wipe ki
ema binu ana ( Fine ma, i came to apologize,
not to be angry with what i did wrong
yesterday) .
Iya Alakara: omo mi nie, mi kole binu sio,
mofi origin o, sugbon mase san iru aso bee
soro mo ( You are my son, am not angry
with you, you are forgiven, but don’t try
such attitude again)
.
Me: Ese ma, olorun yoo je ki epe fun wa
( Thank you ma, may your day be long for
us)
.
*** May your day be long kwa? For where? I
wanted death for her***
.
Since then i dare talk to iya alakara anyhow,
if she called me once guess what? I will
answer thrice
.
***** BACK TO PRESENT*****
“But Iya alakara has forgiven me nah”
“She might not be behind my problem
oooo”
“What makes me fight her in the first place”?
“Who have i offended”?
“Imaging at age of 23 i had no girlfriend”
.
I was lost in thought when i heard knock on
my door, I opened my door, standing before
me was “Mujeeb” i do called him “CNN” CNN
is my main man, tall and dark with big head
like that of oke iragbiji hill, sometime i do
called him #headward, Don’t let him hear o,
unless you want him to get mad at you.
CNN is even faster than Sahara reporter in
breaking news, only God know where he do
gets his breaking news from, CNN is the first
person to break the news of death of
stepen keshi to us, samething with shaibu
Amodu and heneritta Kosoko. Dam CNN
(mujeeb) is something else.
.
EEWO!!! I haven’t introduced myself since
morning and you guyz don’t even remind
me, you guyz are so wicked ooo. Well,.
.
***INTRODUCTION***
My name is kunle but most people know me
as #pesman funny name indeed, you want
to know what’s behind that name? Let me
quickly tell you, I love “PES” game, i preferred
it than any food, if i see PES game my
problem is
solved.
One day i went to a Game center to play
betting, i bet with my school fee and i won
the guy i played it with a margin of 5-1.
Since then i was
crowned king of PES because the guy i won
was also a professional in the game.
.
I’m the third child in the family of four and
i’m the only boy amidst of them, i had two
elder sister and one junior sister.
Our elder sister (kemi) got married
years back and relocated to lagos with her
husband.
Likewise the second one ( mayor ) she has
also
married and followed her husband to
kaduna, left papa, mama, i and my junior
sister in our house, but now i’m now a big
boy, am not living with them anymore.
