'I LOVE YOU, BUT'... PART 11 BY OPEYEMI AKINTUDE

Pamilerin found her self in a very big pit that looked like the ground where a lot of sand had been dug out of from. She looked up and saw how far away from the ground she was. She was more than 6 feet under the ground. Suddenly, she saw a big cow charging towards her with big horns.

Pamilerin looked around for an escape route but she found none.

From a distance she saw two figures that looked like men working on the sound that formed the wall of the large pit. Pamilerin ran fast towards them shouting for help. The cow was still in hot pursuit.

Pamilerin was able to get to the men in time. On getting to them, she saw what they were up to. They were carving stairs out of the sand that formed the wall of the pit. Pamilerin started shouting...

“ Thank God..., Thank you sirs for creating an escape route out of here."

The two men emphasized to her, they were making the stairs for her so she could get out of the pit...

Pamilerin jumped on the first level of the stairs, continued to the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth, but on getting to the sixth she found no more stairs...

“ Where are the rest?” Pamilerin asked them.

Looking at the distance left, she calculated that she needed another six stairs to get back on land...

“ You only commissioned us to make six stairs out of the pit.” One of the men answered.

At that point the cow had come really close and was using his horn to strike her legs. The cow was launching against Pamilerin so hard he was causing bruises on her leg...

" Please help me..." Pamilerin cried out to the two men standing by her

" We are sorry, we can only work with what we have been provided, and you only provided us with what can create six stairs" One of the man said soberly. They had the look of pity and concern on their faces.

Pamilerin knew if the two men didn't create the remaining six stairs, in no time the cow will pull her down with her horn and stab her to death with that horn.

*******

Pamilerin woke up sharply from the dream. She knew she had a dream about the number 6 but it seem like someone had cleared her memory.

Pamilerin went back to sleep.

*******

Baba Shagba gave the look of surprise at the result of his work. The arrow of death he fired at the woman went to her leg instead...

" The gods forbid it... I refuse to work and not see the results I desire. I have not slept in the last three days... The gods that back me up don't desert me... I don't fail...Don't let Failure be heard of me...Today ought to be the end of the woman. What is happening?" Baba Shagba said. The gods were silent as usual, but he expected to see what happened on his charmed mirror. However, It was blank.

" Who is she? Is she from the marine kingdom or from the tree or is she a witch, or is it the herbalist backing her mother who is stopping my work... Never... 1.2 million Naira is not small money. I can't refund it, so this woman you must die ooo..." Baba Shagba said with so much intensity as to the seriousness of the issue.

******

Beauty didn't sleep that night, though sleep had been far from her ever since she had her eye problem, but that night was different, it was already three days since the herbalist said Pamilerin would die. She couldn't wait for Winter to wake up and call the herbalist for the good news of her death.

" God, please let her die...she is a wicked human being. Judge it, I was satisfied being the woman outside. I never even tried to hurt her, but she heard about me and in a flash she made me blind...Is that fair? At least in the Bible days, people had more than one wife, David had several wives and you still loved him" Beauty said thinking about the few things she remembered about the Bible

" But what was the end of David?" A voice questioned her in response

Beauty didn't give a response, she knew the end of David wasn't as beautiful as it should have been because of his polygamy.

Beauty laid back on her side on the bed where Winter laid as well.

" If I am not grateful for anything, I am grateful to have Winter." Beauty said looking for Winter's hand. She found her hand and held on it.

" Thank you Winter.." She whispered not wanting to wake her up.

If only she knew that Winter wasn't asleep. Winter had been carrying out a research on Freeman for the past three nights. She had been stalking him on his social media pages, checking the locations he checked in...She had to meet him, somehow....

*******

Pamilerin woke up to get the children ready for school. With sleepy eyes, she walked towards the bathroom, and the moment she walked in, she slipped and twisted her ankle...

" My leg!" Pamilerin screamed...
