He told me that my father's death and was the GREAT ONE'S way of disciplining me of my act of throwing their precious gift away.
And he turned down the call finally.
I was depressed, knowing there was just two more days left.
After the death of my father, Two days had already gone by, still I haven't figured out the best way I could escape my fate of sacrificing any of those two precious members of my family. (My mother & My sister)
With just one more day left, I went to meet Devine personally.
We met at their compound's gate.
I asked him of a way to divert the course of the GREAT ONE and he boldly told me there was no way that any said course of the GREAT ONE could be diverted.
He said I was even lucky for my life to have been spared after committing that abomination.
He left my presence immediately and went back into the fence after saying that., leaving me standing there alone.
I was totally disoriented & fraustrated.
I felt was going to loose everything in just a day. My happiness, my family and all the wonderful things the future had in Stock for me.
I turned around and left their compound. That very moment and headed straight to THE CHURCH,
Knowing that tomorrow would be my last day, but unfortunately, the reverend father hasn't returned from his trip, so I went back home feeling completely lost in spirit.
Night came.
Till then, I haven’t gotten any sign from them, since my meeting with Devine.
So already, I was convinced that they were withdrawing their connection with a stubborn guy like me.
But something even dreadful was already fast approaching, that would ruin my whole happiness in just a minute.
At around 08:00 pm, while I was in bed, a man in a very red gown appeared in my room.
Very frightened at that moment, i shokenly questioned: "What do you people want from me?
And what... I was still in word when he cut in with a very expressive voice.
"Time is ticking and tomorrow is almost here. And you are yet to appease THE GREAT ONE. You have yourself few hours to offer the blo0d of the either two people. Your life and the life of the two people lies in your hands! You won't be lucky to recieve anymore message from THE GREAT ONE but rather regret."
while he spoke, his face kept glued to the ceiling.
"You guys should take me instead!
My mother or sister did nothing wrong to deserve death for my actions."
I responded in a mournful voice.
Immediately I said that, he disappeared without a word.
Few hours later, while everyone in the house were sleeping, I was awakened to a loud scream from my parent's room.
Instantly I knew something terrible has happened because of me.
I ran to their room only to see my mom lying on the floor of their room struggling for life and gushing out blood through her mouth.
It seemed like someone who was being strangled.
My little sister has quickly left her room and was with my mom, crying.
At this point, my mom was almost an inch to death.
I felt deep pity for my mom at the moment.
Some of our neighbours hurriedly came in, when they heard the screaming from our compound.
We hurriedly got her up and we made our way to the hospital. She died even before we got to the hospital..
