IDRIS POV
we heard a loud bang on the door and I instantly
turned pale white with fear. Could it be them, the
Black axe?
Diana: lemme go and check who is there.
She said when I drew her back and went to the door
post myself. Well not after I had taken the kitchen
knife though.
I hid the knife at my back and opened the door
gently, I was so much happy and a little bit
disappointed as I saw Almajiri (very poor orphans,
little children who beg for survival day in and day
out)
I quickly entered inside and brought out a pot of
food that I gave it to them, they were so happy that
they knelt down and greeted me.
I was touched by their gesture. Poor little children
with useless fathers and mothers. They’d like to
give birth to many children when they are fully
aware that they can’t care of them. At the end when
things becomes hard, they will dump them for them
to beg for a living.
Diana: who was it that knocked on the door.
She asked immediately I entered inside the room.
Me: just those almajiri who are always begging.
Diana: alright, thank God it’s not the black axe gangs
o, I was really worried o.
Me: I was even disappointed self?
Diana: how, I don’t get you?
Me: I wish it was the black axe oo.
Diana: enh en, like seriously?
Me: yes, I wanted to show them my ultimate Karate
moves. This one is called the “SUPER PUNCH”.
I said and punched a pillow.
Me: this one is called the “MESSIAH”.
I said and gave a high kick.
Me: this one is known as the “ULTIMATE MATOORE”.
I said and gave two kicks and a blow.
Me: and my final finishing move is known as “ATAA-
TAA-TAA-TAA”
I said and did a useless godforbid move in karate.
Diana was busy laughing with tears in her eyes
when we heard another knock that got me scared..
Me: Jesus!!!!!!
I said and dashed away to hide because this time, it
must surely be the black axe and no other. This got
Diana rolling on the floor with laughter.
She later got out to check who it was and it was the
same almajiri. The only difference is that they didn’t
knock to beg, but to return the pot I earlier gave
them.
Diana: fear fear boyfriend. The almajiri you gave
food said I should tell you thank you oo.
She said and we both laughed before continuing our
parking.

PORT HARCOURT
ELIOGBOLO
we later got an apartment in eliogbolo close to
rumuokoro market. The apartment was well hidden
so we have no fear of being detected by the black
axe.
We settled down, cleaned everywhere and made
the place to look homely. Later on, we ate lunch
together though night was fastly approaching.
After the food, Diana called our Vc and explained
everything to him. To my greatest surprise, the man
just agreed like that o.
In fact he wanted to call the police and soldiers but
we didn’t agree to his opinion. Apprehending the
capon will only make matter worst of us because
the rest crew will still find and kill us.
The vc agreed that we could study online, write our
assignment, test and exam online too.
We thanked him and ended the call.
Diana: *after keeping her phone* honey, there’s
something important I wanna tell you o.
Me: ok my love, go ahead.
Diana: honey, I will be traveling to Ghana in few
days time to visit a sick cousin of mine over there.
Me: what!!

DIANA’S POV
Idris: what!!!
Me: please honey. Please my love.
Idris: but I thought you said you have no uncle and
aunts, no relatives to rely on when your dad was
dead. How come they are just coming right now?
Where were they when you needed them. Seriously
Diana my love, you should better stay and forget all
these rubbish.
Me: I tire o, could you believe that all this while I
had an uncle in Ghana. Like seriously human beings
can be so wicked. I have an uncle all this while and
there I was, crying and suffering in pains.
Idris: so heartless a fellow. Please my love. Are you
going to leave me and choose to go over there and
stay with him? Remember my love, I am deeply in
need of your companion. I need you by myside. Are
you going to leave the one that love you and
chossed to follow the one that hates you.
Idris statement got me. D--n, I am not even a better
liar. And what kind of a boyfriend is he? The loving
and trustful type. Like seriously, there’s noone like
Idris and I felt bad lieing to him. I knew fully well
and clear that noone, not any boy in Nigeria will buy
that lie.
Me having an uncle, and he couldn’t come or call
when my dad died but he is calling me to attend the
funeral of his child, the lie is very lame na but Idris
believed, not wanting a situation where It will be as
if I am a terrible liar.
I need to step up the game, I need to spicy up the
lie. I need to put more effort in it because I know as
a mermaid, I will be lieing a lot.
Me: I know where you are heading to, didn’t wanna
say this but I have to.
Idris: you know where I am heading to? Where.
Me: you still feel you aren’t protected right?
Idris: *looked down* yes and that’s why I need you
around.
Me: there’s no need to be afraid.
Idris: why!!!
