I stood up from my bed and walked to the kitchen to
see if I could fixed myself something to eat or
maybe there is no need because they have prepared
food already for me.
I got to the kitchen and took my food, rice and stew
made with fish and livers. I was at the dining table
eating when Tracy appeared again.
This time I didn’t panic because I was already
getting used to her presence around me.
Tracy: at the count down of five, should I say the
goodnews for me and badnews for you will be
waiting for you at your doorstep.
Me: *in my mind* what is she talking about?
Tracy: five, four, three, two, one, zerooo!!
She disappeared.
*door bell rings*
Me: *quiet*
Abdul: small madam.
Me: abdul is that you?
Abdul: yo wa madam, na me fa.
Me: am coming.
I said and hurriedly went to the door where he stood
looking at me.
Abdul: Inawuni small madam (good morning)
Me: lafiya (responded to his greeting) So what’s up.
Abdul: walahi natin go am for up I swear. I get am
por two oga where dey look am for you.
Me: ok, let them in.
Abdul: enh?
Me: open the gate for them oo.
He ran and opened the gate for them and they
walked inside all dress in suit.
1st man: good day, are you miss Diana.
Me: *ok, jamb question have started* Yes I am any
problem?
2nd man: we were sent from Farouk specialist
hospital. Hope you do know doctor Konami?
Me: yes, our family doctor.
1st Man: good, am sorry but you should know this,
your parents were involved in a ghastly motor
accident.
“your parents were involved in a ghastly motor
accident”
“your parents were involved in a ghastly motor
accident”
where the only words playing in my head as I
passed out.
IN MY TRANCE
I stoop up in an unknown place and behold, the same
thing I saw in that mirror Tracy gave to me were
before me..
Three coffins. Me in the middle and my dad and mum
by my sides.
Just then Tracy ascended from the ground.
Tracy: stubborn Diana. You have the power to stop
all these.
Me: *crying* why Tracy, what have I ever done to
you.
Tracy: common Diana, the Queen mother can save
your parents it’s not too late. All you need do is to
join our sisterhood.
Me: I don’t know. I seriously don’t know. Being a
mermaid, no you guys are wicked. Why are you
doing this to my family.
Tracy: hmm, we are not wicked. We can save your
family. We can double your wealth and your beauty
shall beam across all the corners of the earth.
Me: please don’t do anything bad to my parents
please, don’t kill them.
Tracy: then are you ready to join?
Me: YES I AM.
Tracy: good!
She said and disappeared.
BACK TO LIFE
I woke up in Farouk specialist hospital. I could see
some nurses running around.
Nurse 1: am not sure if those two couples will
survive.
Nurse 2: our best doctors Konami and Farouk are
their in the surgery room with them. Let’s just pray
they survive.
I knew they were talking about my parents and it
was from here and now that I was very determined
to join the MERMAIDS if that is the only surviving
options left for my parents.
Is Diana making a good choice?
Can the mermaids keep to their words of saving her
parents from death?
All these and more in the next exciting and thrilling
episode of DIANA.
