“How dare you” Mama Mazi yelled at the young man who was trying to rescue Udeme
“You no dey fear at all, anyway I need a pet” She touched his head and immediately turned him into a parrot. He placed it inside a cage. “Your Job is to tell me anything that happens in my absence failure to do so, then you will end up in my pot of soup and for you, Udeme have been thinking of what to do with you, I want to fortify you and make you a priestess but with the look of things your people might find out you are here so that will not work out, but I promise them they will not meet you in a good condition, your mum did this to me, and I’m going to revenge.” While she was ranting the bird signaled someone is outside looking for her
She went to confirm and standing in front of her house was an old man, who should likely be in his late 90s
“Yes who are you and what are you looking for.”
“You can call me Pa. Cosmos, have heard of your power and am here to confirm it. I want you to do a love charm for me. There’s a young lady I’m trying to woo but she has been rejecting my proposal. She said am too old but I love her. Do you have a solution to that?”
Mama Mazi laughed out loud “You still need a wife as old as you are”
“Can you do it for me, please”
“Let the young lady be I have another one I can give you, fresh blood” she pointed at Udeme where she was sitting
“That is too young compared to the one I’m talking about, see I have money, I have lands I will give you anything you want just do this for me”
“Pa. Cosmos keep your money and marry this girl I’m offering you”
Pa. Cosmos accepted the offer after a long dialogue.
“So when should I come for my wife”
“Hmmm, she has not been circumcised so let’s get that done immediately, you can come back for her in two days”
“Circumcision? No please, just give me my wife let me go”
Mama Mazi handed her over to Pa. Cosmos.
Miss Mercy in the prison I love coolvalstories began to call on the name of God.
“Father vindicate me, expose the person who kidnapped Udeme”
Caroline has also tried her best to make Jesse forget the issue
“Honey you have to eat and forget about this thing,”
“Forget a grown-up child or what are you saying.”
Caroline was going to say something else when she shouted ghost
“Ghost? Where?” Jesse asked with fear
“Udeme’s mother can’t you see her”
Jesse looked left and right but can’t see anyone
Caroline began to behave awkwardly “I will confess”
“Confess what?”
“I know where she is, I’m the one that arrange her kidnap, is not my fault, Mama Mazi said I will be barren if I did not bring her.”
“Blood of Jesus” Jesse kept screaming whilst he called the police.
The police invaded Mama Mazi’s compound the following day.
“Ah what are the government doing in my house”
“We are looking for a missing child.” The police walked in ignoring further questions
They came out disappointed
