Once Upon a corper season two (The trial) - Episode 5

 

Ola’s POV
I was driving on the quiet streets, swerving left to right. I wondered why other cars weren't not plying the road. I muttered to myself. I was enjoying the ride slowly and I was about to go roundabout when I saw some people ahead of me running and chasing a girl. 
Oh God! What is happening?
Seyi’s POV
The ritualists have been chasing me for like 20 minutes. I didn’t know where I was headed yet I couldn't stop else I might be dead . Then I saw a car ahead of me driving slowly. That might be my savior! 
Lord help me. I ran as fast as I can then I waved hazily towards the car.
Ola’s POV
I slowed down a bit to know what was happening when I saw her waving at me. I slowed down and opened the door of the car and just like a fish she jumped in, I reversed and drove in the same way I came through.
That moment I reversed to the road screeching, I accelerated back to the main road and drove away. The strange girl kept looking back at intervals maybe her pursuant are coming for her. I managed to look back too and I could still see two of them still running to catch up with my fast-moving car.
They must be mad. I said to myself, focusing on my driving

. I looked at the girl again. She was weeping uncontrollably. Her white vest now turned brownish.
Hey, you are safe now okay? What really happened? I asked while still driving. She just couldn’t stop crying. I knew that wasn’t the best time to ask questions. So I let her be.
Some minutes later, I drove into the parking lot of the hotel Kim and I lodged at. I beckoned on the strange girl to get down and follow me and she did. We both walked past the receptionist, climbed the stairs and walked into my room quietly.
Thank goodness! Kim still left some of her clothes in the room. She couldn’t pack all due to the emergency. Well, the room is spacious. How do I cope with the emergent visit of this strange girl? I asked myself.
Seyi’s POV
When you feel the loom of death catching up with you, you can’t figure how to summon strength to even run. How I managed to escape that far and long was still a mystery to me. Usain bolt wouldn't have competed with me in that way I ran. We are talking about escape from death here! Is that how I would have lost my life; if not for God’s intervention and the timely intervention of this guy? 
Oh Daniel! I never believed he could do this to me. Oh God! (I busted into another round of tears again)
The strange guy kept driving to only God knows. At that moment, I really didn’t care where he was driving me to. Somehow I felt safe and comfortable with him. He was my savior.
He drove me to his hotel room and I was surprised as I could see some ladies dressing in the room. That doesn’t really matter right now. Daniel is a devil. If I had my way, I would have thrown him into the lion’s den and he wouldn't have survived it. I swear! …
Ola’s POV
The strange girl kept staring into space. I called the customer care agent to bring some food and also get some other refreshment for the girl. After some minutes, the order was placed and I brought it inside to her where she sat. 
Hey! Hey! You are safe now. Okay? I tapped her while she jolted back to life then she continued sobbing
I think she is stable now. (I muttered to myself)
What happened over there? What’s your name? Where are you going to? Why were those guys pursuing you? What happened?
After like 5 minutes of silence, I was about to stand up since she would not speak with me.
He broke my heart. She said and broke into another round of tears again. I held her hands this time.

. Now I know the first part, emotional trauma.
I took a glass of cold water and gave it to her. She took it gladly from me and she drank. I guess that calmed her nerves a bit better.
So tell me what really happened? What is your name?
She adjusted from her previous sitting position.
I am Seyi. Am a corp member and I am serving in Akwa ibom. We were on Easter break so I decided to come and spend some time with Daniel.
Daniel? Who is Daniel? I asked
Daniel was my boyfriend. We met in camp during the orientation camp in Borno. We met during those times on the parade ground and just got together in love. Obviously, I fell in love with him. Unfortunately, he redeployed to Ogun state while I was transferred to Akwa ibom. Our love had been going really well since up until then. 
So what happened? I asked
I travelled down today, hoping to catch him by a surprise visit only to meet my supposed lover making love to another girl in his room. I left there even though it was late, unknowing to me, there is a community rite “Oro” in the vicinity.
What? I exclaimed! Oh now I understand now.
I was just walking to nowhere when I encountered them and started running for my life till…till then she busted into tears again.
