**NMEKA THE TROUBLESOME SPIRIT** EPISODE TEN [10] ____FINAL EPISODE____ Two known cultists who lived in my lodge were finally arrested by the police that fateful day, leaving me very surprised. I couldn’t imagine what the police had on them. But they were however freed two days later probably due to lack of evidence. The school authorities though came out to claim that the police has gotten a lead and that the suspect will be revealed soon. I was very speechless and stunned after hearing the announcement because i was still free without any form of harassment from the police nor authorities. Nmeka’s case slowly died without the police solving it nor saying anything new to us. My fellow Students were then left with theories and assumptions on what could have happened. Many believed that the two previously arrested cult boys drugged and raped the dead girl while others simply kept sealed lips. The crime remained a big mystery, most especially because no student could identify nor claim to know her. We also never got to know what happened to her body soon after because the authorities suddenly decided not to share anything to us. I felt they discreetly managed to locate her family or just buried the case in order to save face. I was finally left with my conscience and God to judge me and i knew a permanent seat was already waiting for me in hell. I struggled to finish the rest of the semester with Nmeka’s image haunting me in everything i did. I saw her everywhere. She kept whispering in my head, playing with my mind. I lost focus. I did poorly in my exams. I was a shadow of myself. My parents soon noticed the change in me during the short vacation i came home to spend, but couldn’t do anything at first, probably because they were stunned. Finally mum was forced to take me to a pastor who fired some serious prayers on my behalf. “A strong spirit is overshadowing your son, but i just can’t see the reason. All i can do is just to pray for him” he told my poor mother who broke down in tears. I really could have confessed that very moment but i just couldn’t, and perhaps all Nmeka simply wanted was a decent confession to everyone and to her family. There wasn’t any doubt i treated the poor girl like a fowl by dumping her body under a staircase…. Now how do i continue living with her image still haunting my mind?? I have to live with it until i confess and find her family.. Many days went ahead, i still couldnt get myself in appropriate and normal position a human should be. Even though the cops had forgotten & buried Nmekas case, i do have feelings of her spirit around me everyday. Not until one faithful day. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I went to a market not far from my school hostel. After i had bought all i wanted to buy, i decided to head back to my lodge. Along the way, suddenly i heard Nmekas voice in my mind screaming Turn Back, Turn Back, Turn Back... at first, i thought i was having a nightmare but later on i realized im not. I then tried to turn back, you cant beleive who i saw. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Nmeka. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . That was the first time i would see a dead person alive. What really amazed me most was that the same clothes she put on while at my lodge was the same cloth i saw her putting on. . . She moved closer to me, i shifted back for her because i was really scared and frightened that moment but she smiled and said to me Dont run from me, i cant hurt you While shifting back, i unfortunately slipped and fell down in a bad way. I then heard myself say Please forgive me, im very sorry for... without letting me finish my words she interupted shhhh, i knew thats what you will say, what a wicked world, Mens heart is full of wickedness, nothing else She uttered. I felt guity and silly for what i did but 80% will do same if you are to be in my shoes. I tried to open my mouth to say something but nothing came out. She then raised my head and faced me, I have forgiven you wholehearthly but its not everyone you meet on social networks are physical & normal humans. I think you will learn from this.. She said those words to me and instantly she dissapeared. I immediately stood up and ran to my lodge like a mad man. Am i still alive or dead? Am i still me? Am i still a normal person? Or am i dreaming? I heard myself asked those questions.. After some mins i relaxed on the bed, wondering what just happened. Then i slept off.. The next day i woke up, stretched my hands and yarned. Hmmm i felt comfortable a little but what happened yesterday was still on my mind blowing. But later on, i learnt my mistakes and begged for Gods forgiveness. Since that day, ive been living in a comfortably and normal way. . . . . . . . . . THE END . . . . . . . . . #What_Have_You_Learnt_From_This_Story??? Share Your Ideas..
