*EPISODE FIVE*
Mercy pressed the ring bell as she got to tolulope’s house. She has been calling her number since but it has not been reachable. She tried it again and this time it went through.
“Babe please can you come and open the gate?” Mercy asked and hung up the call immediately without getting her response. Tolulope went out to open the door.
“Babe, I am sorry. I didn’t know you were at the gate”. Tolulope said as she ushered her in and mercy didn’t utter any word until she got to the sitting room.
“I called your number, not reachable and also pressing the bell no feedbacks. Its just frustrating. I was also worried, I thought you might have gone out” Mercy said
“I am sorry babe. I was in the kitchen that’s why I didn’t heard the sound of the bell and concerning the calls, it should be the network. Oops, I am sorry let me quickly check what I am cooking”. Tolulope said as she stood up and ran to the kitchen.
“It’s fine thank God. I came at the appropriate time. Please be careful o and don’t let the food burn” Mercy said as they both laughed. While they were laughing, her phone rang and it was her dad.
“Ooh God, what again is it this time? She murmured
“Are you talking to me? Tolulope asked from the kitchen
“Not you” Mercy said as she picked the call
After few minutes of dialogue
“Tolu, please come your attention is needed” Mercy said soberly as tolu turned off the gas and went to meet her as she handed the phone over to Tolu
*EPISODE SIX*
“Good afternoon sir….. yes sir….. she is with me sir….. alright sir….. take care sir” Tolulope said as the cal ended but Mercy was still crying
“Oh no! Babe, what’s wrong? What is going on? Can you please explain to me? Tolulope said as she was confused
“Tolu… can you see my life now? This is what has been going on with me? Can you see the reason why I want to leave that house as soon as possible. I am haunted, I am not even free to do anything again. Ahhh, how I wish I can change the hands of time. I don’t even understand how I got here” Mercy said as she was weeping
“Mercy can you explain what is going on here? I am lost “ Tolu said as she was worried
“Tolu, you can’t believe since the day I told them what I have been struggling with for years and seeking their opinion concerning it, ever since then I had no peace. My life have been under their watch. I now feel like a prisoner in my house. They don’t trust me anymore neither do they believe that I am now a changed being. I am even losing my respect in the sight of my siblings. They don’t really listen to me anymore and thank God they have gone to school. I don’t know how things got worst but all I know is that, I just want to leave I want to go somewhere far away from them where I can regain my peace. Tolu, I tried proving to them that I am a changed being but they don’t believe me again. Can you imagine, I told him I was with you but he didn’t believe until he spoke with you. Tolu…..” Mercy said as she was weeping.
“My God. No wonder you don’t really pick my calls sometimes. Instead, you would reply with text message “Tolu said as she was in tears too.
“Not only you, I hardly pick calls anymore. I am not myself and I am losing my esteem. They monitor everything I do but everything that caused this, is all in the past”. Mercy said as she was crying and hitting the chair
