You do?
Yes, I do! my village people are seriously after me, on seeing the blank face of the manager he proceeded to explain to him his ordeal for over ten days now.
And the little boy deity clapped his hands in glee, his work was done.
He then sent a message to Ayanna that it was done as his little eyes twinkled.
Ayanna got up she had only slept for about fifty five minutes, she picked up her phone and gave her father a call after a long ring she heard her father's grouchy voice on the other side, hello! my Princess, you are yet to sleep?
Father, I have been trying to reach you, earlier on I tried to call you but your number was switched off.
Sorry, your mother kept me busy, a story for another day. What's happening? he asked quickly changing the embarrassing question.
I have found the missing man and his family and we even taught him a good lesson you should come with his mother first thing tomorrow morning will that be fine?
Ha! you found him? I knew you would, thank you, I will call the mother and inform her Ehmmm! we should be there say 9 a.m will that be fine?
Yes, father you know I won't be there, but I will monitor everything from here...
Wait!!!....did you say you taught him a lesson? what do you mean?
Father, it's like this we taught it won't be good to just get his mother to suffer for him just like that, what is the assurance that he won't pull another dirty stunt like that on his mother and take off again? therefore, we wanted him to see the folly in his actions and the pain when he lost it all.
Ayanna then proceeded to tell the father everything that she and the boy deity did to straighten Mr. Edet out she also told him that by morning she and the boy deity will make an appearance physically so the man can know that it was their doing and they were not even mortal.
Since he liked visiting spirits we came to visit, just to scare him a bit we hope it works.
Father, is that okay? Ayanna suddenly asked.
Yeah!...yeah!! it is, her father replied. Nice work! I will get the mother and be at the address you sent, thank you.
Goodnight! father.
Ayanna then went back to bed and soon fell asleep.
The next day very early as 5 a.m she was at the house where the boy deity was already waiting.
The plan was simple, they will transform into scary spiritual beings and show themselves to Mr. Edet then, make him understand that what was the essence of all his wealth when he could not even have a single loved one beside him, he had to treat his family well.
Me. Edet heard weird noises in the little room he rented and it continuous scary sound made him to gradually sleepily open his eyes.
He saw a heinous massive head of what looked like a wounded lion head staring at him it's massive mouth seemingly trying to swallow him he taught and hurried jumped to the other corner of his bed only to see that there was someone or something else in the house on trying to see if it was a friend or foe he saw a lady witch, he face was green and her hair were like serpents she was too ugly ah!
Mr. Edet screamed so loud and closed his eyes trying to wake up from the supposed dream but when he cranked his eyes a little open again he still saw them there glaring at him.
The witch opened her mouth and commanded how dare you, to look at us!?
How dare you? you have lost it, all right?
The heinous lion asked do you know why we are even here?
Mr. Edet shook his head furiously in the negative.
How can you claim not to know? said the witch and the heinous lion at once aghast.
Let me strick him with thunder the witch said.
Noooo! wait! The frightened Mr. Edet suddenly called out, he was nearly out of his mind.
Wait for what? the heinous Lion asked in his bass voice.
I...i know.....i know what I have done wrong and I deserve any punishment you give me...
Just tell us! what do you think is the reason we are here today be fast! with it! the witch sounded pissed off.
The lion growled.
I offended my parents, Mr. Edet said so calmly that they stared at him, then he suddenly burst into tears, as he wailed he said my greed for money made me turn against them, even though I knew I was their only child and hope, I couldn't take care of them even when I had the wealth.
The heartbreak killed my loving father and he cried some more, I even...i even stole all my mothers money... i stole her money after she helped me in my time of need and now the gods are furious with me.... i have lost ...lost everything i boosted about including my wife and unborn child and am ashamed to go back home. .. i wish i can turn back the hands of time, i will leave my life differently, I tell you i have learned my lesson too late.
Are you then saying that if you were giving a second chance you will love your old mother and care for your family and also respect the people around you and that you won't be a desperate person anymore? The heinous lion asked.
Yes! how i wish i could be given such opportunity i definitely will live right by myself and loved ones.
So, are you saying i should not strick you with thunder now and give you a second chance? The witch asked.
Yes, i promise i will do everything right and if i don't you can come back and strick me dead Mr. Edet answered with a lot of hope shining from his eyes.d
The heinous Lion and the ugly witch stared at each other and said in conclusion lesson learned.
Turning back to him they said your wish will be granted go back to sleep by the time you wake up all will be back to normal though there will always be consequences just keep your promise.
Mr. Edet nodded and laid down back on his bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
