Chapter 12.The Mystery House.pg.3,4,

The bland gazes came with satisfaction of landlord's esteem and the unique feeling that so much adorn his contented spirit was felt for the first time in many solitary years of monumental affront,contemptuous riffles and abject neglect .Fortunately it came with tears of joy to swell up and sweep blackpower off his feet.Gladdened that''for every beginning there shall be an end" and uncommon with such emotion blinding him with extreme joy at least for a split seconds.

Then the phone rang helplessly as he exit the verandah and all the sentry bliss.

"Hello sister how are you doing?"

"Boy how was your journey?"

"Am fine.You fear alot."

"Why wont i fear? Witches and wizards at ajilete.After how many revivals,prayers and fastings by churches,men of God over countless sleepless nights.Imagine,they still would nt change.Why do you think indigenes are living?Was it not because of the fetishism?See am tired at home resting."

"It's their nature .It is you who must stay strong.Guess what?"

"I m not good at that.What?"

"We finished your daddy's house first time in forty years."

"I tell you i have unique feelings too.Now what re about all those back bitters,witchunters,mudslingers etc, where re they?"

"Leave all those ones.We thank the lord we finished it.We re doing ceremonies"

"Dont do any ceremony.Okay.Your father's enemies wont repent till they die.Where is black power now?"

"I wanted him to see it too and brother jony."

Blackpower sighed and it was an arguments they'd had a dozen times with consensus no celebration for house opening."Listen to my advice.Stop fighting your past and the past may not forget and you selem to forget the past too quickly.Rich man.Billionaire.Chei! You deserve you to enjoy your fortunes.Dont stay long there.Return back to Lagos"phone zoomed off.

A small book worm blackpower should have launched at the idea but knew the implication and hardly many acquitances after two decades gap away and not funny at all to find themselves in a completely new but positive situation .Nobody knew how much he had yearned to complete the embarrasment of the mystery house.Though the gap seems to have made them cut tied with the ancestral root until blackpower made her own way into riches setting up a good company earned him unbelievable flown of cash.

And had never blown the only chance though succeded three decades after in Lagos.

Now it seemed his undeniable past uncluttered still brought him back home while white power and sunny gyrated at banana island taking a tour of the family helipad for the celebration of recent arrival of family 's first private jet bombardier bought at a whooping $75 m.

White power called him"why re you are you still at home?"

"Yeah.Hope you re enjoying yourself."

"See bro was stubborn.He stood early money and i traced him down to private jet location. We said we shouldnt go there unless we have maintenance engineers or go in vacation,i saw him going there on almost every day in the last one week.Almost meditating there."

"Is that why you call me?Gossiper.Leave your he live better things.okay.Come to Ogbomosho."

"I wont come.People that destroyed our factory full there.Fetish folks."

"Come iya wura was asking for you."

"I wont come."

"Iya ayomide said i should not do celebration "

"Ahmmm.u forget your past too easily.You must be mad.Dont ever try it.stupid"blocked the phone 

He launched hysterically and returned back to alcove.The old house was not so spacious and commodious and magnanimous as the oloko house that had streams of water and burly trees grown nearby and not easier to handle and staidly adorned and massively elegant where the while family could reside though much less attractive than ever before.The shame of completion embarrasment was finally over.

The following he paid a visit to the adjoining house owned by cousins.Baba wura still humbling and a septuagenarian.Dekunle trades in the front shop.
