The New Apartment Episode Three
Jane’s hopes were dashed and she was devastated. After thinking that the pastor would bring a solution to her problem, she was left feeling sad all over again. She did not expect that the pastor would be making demands before he would pray for her. The fact that Pastor Tunde demanded to go to bed with her made her sad. She never believed that a man of God would make such a demand. Jane was wondering where she would sleep that night after the huge disappointment. She felt like it was end of the road for her.
“If it was money alone, there would be no problem. The issue is that he started asking for something I would not be able to give to him. He is not my husband for goodness’s sake. Why is he asking me to go to bed with him? A man of God shouldn’t be making such demands. He is making an illegitimate demand from me. I can’t offer him my body in exchange for prayers. I can never do such a thing.” Jane said. But she was still worried about the strange voices coming from her ceiling. It was obvious to her that she cannot sleep in the room with her two eyes closed.
“If I’m going to be living in this apartment, it is clear that I must find a solution to this problem. Pastor Tunde might be my last option. However, I’m going to play a fast one on him. If he is claiming to be wise, I’m going to show him that I’m wiser. I’m going to accept that I will give him my honey pot. At this point, I no longer believe his prayers would work, but let me just try. I’m desperate right now.” Jane said. She was already paralyzed by fear at that time because the strange voice had resumed after stopping for a while.
“I did not die a natural death. You killed me. Why did you kill me? I was 10 years old when you brought me into your room and killed me. My spirit will never leave you. I will continue to hunt you until I successfully kill you. You belong to a secret cult but I will kill you. Your cult will not protect you. I will also kill all the tenants in this house.” The little girl’s voice said from the ceiling. It keeps repeating the same thing and it was so scary to Jane’s ears.
When Jane heard the voice, she ran out of the house with the speed of light. She could not pick any other thing except her phone. She left the compound entirely and dashed into streets where she felt safe among passersby and people buying and selling along the busy street road.
“How I wish all these people would follow me home so that we will stay together. I wish I can sleep here in the streets. This place even feels safer than my apartment. When I was renting the apartment, I didn’t know I was using my money to buy a big problem, but I will overcome. Weather the demon in my house likes it or not, I will defeat it.” Jane said while walking along the busy road. Cars were passing and honking, creating a buzz in the nightlife of Lagos. Jane found one corner of the roadside where a woman was selling ‘mama put.’ She sat on one of the benches. Jane brought out her phone and dialed Pastor Tunde’s phone number and it rang.
“Pastor, please, you can come back to my house. I have accepted your demand. I will do what you want. I will go to bed with you and allow you to eat from my honey pot. I will do anything you want so far as you are able to pursue the demon that has taken over my house. I will pay the money and I will allow you to touch me as many times as you want. Please are you coming now? I’m even outside the house waiting for you by the roadside. If you can meet me here, we will go home together.” Jane said with a soft and reassuring voice meant to convince Pastor Tunde.
“I will be on my way. In fact, I will just turn back and come to your house. I have not even reached home. I can’t wait to have access to your honeypot.” The pastor tells Jane mischievously. Within a few minutes, he showed up where Jane was sitting at the ‘mama put’ joint.
“Let’s go. Don’t worry; you will sleep peacefully tonight when I finish dealing with that demon disturbing you. All your problems are over.” Pastor Tunde said. The reason Jane invited Pastor Tunde was because she had heard testimonies people give after inviting him for spiritual work in their houses. None of them mentioned that he used to charge them money or make inappropriate demands. But she was ready to do whatever it would take for the demon to leave her house.
“If I try him and it doesn’t work, he will regret it.” Jane said as she and Pastor Tunde stepped into the apartment once again.
“Let us go to the bedroom and start. I have to eat from your honeypot first before I will do the job. It is pay before service.” Pastor Tunde said as soon as they entered the apartment.
“Please Pastor, I promise you endless moments of joy in the bedroom if you are able to chase away this demon. Just go and sharpen your cucumber because I will give you from all an.gles. Please, help me. We will use the bedroom action to celebrate our victory over the demon.” Jane pleaded with the pastor.
“I will do the job, but I will be back tomorrow for the bedroom action.” Pastor Tunde said. As he brought out his anointed oil and started praying. He prayed for about one hour and then sprinkled the oil and salt around the apartment. He sprinkled it on the ceiling, bed, chairs and even on kitchen utensils.
“The job is done. You can go to bed rest assured that the demon is gone. The little girl will not cry again. I have settled her permanently in the spiritual realm.” Pastor Tunde said. He packed his bags and left. Jane went to bed with a happy heart but she was still scared.
“Let me sleep and see if the voice would come again.” She said. She made her bed and laid down.
