THE ADVENTURE OF AKOR
Episode 17
By Esther Ochoga
After checking the time I became restless and I woke my friend up to see the marks all over my body but she said she is not seeing anything… faith, my body is literarily on fire and you are telling me you cant see all this marks all over my body? Faith, are you kidding me? I said crying…faith was staring at me looking so confused and she asked me what happened to me and why I feel there are marks all over my body… I told her about my dream and she hissed and laid down to sleep, I tap her and ask her why she’s ignoring me like that and she told me that I am not serious and she asked me how many times I had my bath the previous day and I told her once, she then said, that’s why my body is hurting me.
“she totally ignored me and slept off… I was left alone so confused. Oh! God what have I gotten myself into? What should I do now, am I imagining things? What about those visible marks? Or am I the one that scratch myself since I didn’t bath well yesterday? I pray this is just a dream oooo”
I prayed and went back bed; at about 5:0am… I heard a loud bang on the door, faith heard it too and woke up, before we could stand up and go to the door, someone pushed the door open forcefully and banged it and started flogging me, I was shouting and calling on faith for help but saw faith running out of the bathroom shouting… we try to open the door but it was locked, there was nobody in the room with us but we were feeling pain all over our body… please forgive me for disobeying you, please ooo I will apologise publicly I said. Immediately I finished apologising our room door opened on its own and we ran into the compound shouting and knocking on all the doors in open big compound.
It was about 6am already and some were already awake and those not awake woke up and joined us… everyone gathered around us, there were asking if an armed rubber attacked us because all the beating was visible for everyone to see.
I told them it was not armed robber attack but spiritual attack. Immediately I saw Akor coming, I stood up from where I was sitting on the floor and knelt down before him, faith joined me and began to beg him, he was acting as if he doesn’t know what we were talking about, before he could say anything his friend peter cut in and asked us what we want from him after all we did to him, we narrated everything that happened…
Akor curiously asked me to repeat the dream part and I did and he ask me to repeat the name and I called belial… his eyes pooped up and peter also took a step backward, I told Akor I was the one that arrange guys to beat him, I pleaded with him to forgive me. He was quiet and his quietness scare me so much so I had to lay flat on the ground in front of him begging…
Everyone that came were confused and thinking I was mad, some were saying it’s a prank… I didn’t mind all there were saying but focused on getting forgiveness from Akor… Akor looked at me and said he doesn’t know what I am talking about and do not know anyone called belial… I told him that even if he doesn’t know the person he should just said he has forgiven me and my friend. he was quiet for a while, then his friend peter whispered something in his ears.. he smiled and I knew immediately whatsoever peter told him is not good..
‘So you were the one that arrange those guys to inflict all this injury on me? How can a woman that will be someone’s mother tomorrow be so wicked? I was crying yesterday and you and this your ugly friend with ‘colour riot teeth’ were standing over there laughing at me…
Because of what you made those hoodlums did to me, I cant go to work today or do anything. For this reasons before I forgive the two of you, you will have to wash all my cloths, ‘plus my own’ peter added. You will also also make provision for my breakfast and lunch, peter whisper in my ears again and told me to add dinner… and I told them plus dinner. I also told her that from that day henceforth there will be addressing me and Peter as sir and must greet us everywhere there see us and never gossip us again’
Yes sir we said and left to start working on our assignment!
AKORS POV
“Peter did you hear that? Peter I told you this right from time but you never believed me… oh my God I am in trouble…”
Peter was just staring at me not knowing what to say… he finally broke the silent and told me to go inside and dress up so he can take me to see a seer. I quickly ran inside… brush my teeth, entered the bathroom, came out and had a knock on my door, I opened the door and saw Agnes with a plate in her hands. She said, ‘sir your food is ready’ I opened it and saw noodles and egg looking so delicious, I took the meal from her and head straight into my bedroom to dress up.
After dressing up I came to the sitting room and saw that peter was already there… I told him how come he finished so fast and he told me to hurry up, I told him I am done and he should come so we can eat the noodle… we quickly finished the noodles and peter told me he is coming, I told him to take water but he said he needed to get something fast from his room, immediately he pushed the door and went outside I saw peter entering my room again, I told him how come he came back after living in a hurry few seconds ago… he looked at me confused and told me he just finished dressing up and he came so we could eat the breakfast Agnes brought because he saw her with food coming to my room.
I was so shocked looking at peter and because of the shock and everything I fainted!

Episode 18

I felt something on my face like a heavy block and I jerked up in a kung fu position… peter ran into my toilet and I called him and ask him what he hit on my face that is that painful… he explained that immediately I fainted he ran to my fridge and emptied all the satchet water in a bucket but forgot some of the satchet water has ice in them so he mistakenly poured both the water and the ice on me…
Do you know you almost killed me? I asked
Point of correction… ‘it not do you know I almost killed you’ but ‘do you know I almost died?’ what the meaning of killing you are adding there? Na me faint you? You were already dying and you should be thankful that I brought you back to life…
Well, now that you are back can you kindly provide the breakfast Agnes brought for us, I have no plan of cooking anything for breakfast, remember I was the one that brought the idea that they should give us breakfast, lunch and dinner… so kindly bring the food I am begging you. peter said
‘I looked at peter in amazement, so upon everything that has happened to me the only concern peter has is to be asking me for common noodles?’
Peter you are a goat I finally said
Are you insulting me? Peter asked
Yes, I am insulting you… in short you are not just a goat but a baby goat…
What do you mean by baby goat? Gosh, your grammar is so bad… the baby of a goat is called kid… therefore, instead of calling me a baby goat, call me a ‘goat kid’ peter said
What kind of human being are you? what is a goat kid? That’s by the way… peter please were you the one that ate the noodles with me? Are you playing some kind of prank? Please be sincere..
I wasn’t the one Akor, and I didn’t even see anyone leaving your room. Are you serious about what you are saying? Or you were so hungry and decided to finish the noodle… peter said
Common bro, look over there, they are two forks in that plate, I can’t use two forks all by myself na…
Well, after what I witness this morning I think I am beginning to believe your story, what was the name your spirit friend gave you the first day you met her?
What do you mean by “my spirit friend”? you are so annoying peter..
Do you want me to help you or not? Peter asked
She told me she’s the descendant of Belial but I should call he Asmodeus
Shuuuu… guy, you hear that kind thing and you no run? You still have the gut to invite her into your house? Oya, bring your phone let type the names on google and see if there’s any meaning… peter said.
I put ON my internet and handed the phone over to him… the next thing I heard was ‘Akor, your own don finish’ do you know who belial is according to google? Tell me please you are the one with the phone… I said
Belial is one of the ‘7 fallen angels’ at this point I was shaking so hard and I ‘fart’ out of fear..
Akor, what is that na, what kind of hot fart and smelly fart is that? Peter asked…
Did you taste the fart? How did you know is hot? i said with a shaky voice… what about Asmodeus? I asked
Heeeeey, Akor, your womanising has finally paid off…
What do you mean by that I asked
Asmodeus means lust! Akor, now; repeat after me. Say ‘I am finished’
I left peter and ran to the bathroom to ease myself… I came back to the sitting room but ran back again to ease myself…
‘Guy, if you like piss till tomorrow you don already buy market’ peter said
I came out and ask peter to take me to the seer he talked about earlier
Okay! he said.
We went to the place and saw one woman wearing white, she saw us coming and told us to stop and pull our shoes before coming close that her ground is a holy ground… we pulled our shoes and went and sat in front of her…
Welcome my children, what brought you to this great temple? I wanted to explain my predicament but she asked me to stop…
I know what brought you here, she laughed and continued… I know you wanted to know why things have gone wrong in your life… I quickly answered yes mummy.
She went further to say… it is your mother that is the cause of all your problem… she is the reason why nothing is working for you. she is the one siphoning all your wealth to her witchcraft coven, she has tied your destiny… her eyes were closed while saying all this, I try to looked at peter but saw peter already on his way out of the temple, I yelled “madam”, open your eyes… which mother are you talking about? ‘My mama don die ooo’ what kind of bad guessing work is this? I said and she…
