SON OF MAN: Strange Visit Final Part 2 – Tosin Ezekiel
It was 11:45 pm.
Fifteen minutes to the visit and I didn’t know what to do.
“God have mercy on me, God help me,” I kept muttering.
At about 11:55 pm, the generator went off, we didn’t know who did it.
We were all on the floor except my last born sleeping on the chair.
We could hear footsteps approaching the room, we were as dead men on the floor.
All I could mutter was, “God, have mercy, mercy, mercy.”
They finally entered, I didn’t know how many, I couldn’t lift my head. I grabbed my baby on the chair and held her tightly on the floor.
Suddenly, there was touch lighting, one of them flashed it.
“Lift your head,” the familiar voice I heard on the phone sounded.
The man was sitting on my chair with a mask on his face. I saw others standing, holding guns.
“Where is our food,” he said laughing.
Nobody answered, my children were crying, my wives were shivering.
“Oh, you didn’t prepare food,” he said and sparked my second wife on her buttocks.
“Ahh, you are the only one eating these! Where is your bed, let me relieve and…” he said hysterically.
One of the boys hailed, “Oga, that’s Olori to be ooo.”
“Shut up, shut up,” the boss shouted as though the guy had said what he should not have said.
Suddenly, we could hear the sounds of legs again, but this time, around the house. All the strangers in my sitting room jumped up in fear.
A voice came from a megaphone outside, “The house is surrounded! Your weapons down.”
Everything looked like a dream to me. Is this a film?
One of the strange men drew his gun, he said, “Yes, mission failed, but I will still kill you, I have been paid to kill just your wife, but I will kill you.”
He drew his pistol, pulled it close to my ear, it was cold in my cheeks. In a split second, my spirit was almost jumping out of my body.
I waited for the trigger
He pulled it! There was only a little sound, like lighting marches. The gun did not respond.
My head went ‘fiannnh’.
There were soldiers all around the house, the strange men could not do anything.
All of the men were arrested, and they were bundled in the van.
Few soldiers stayed in my compound till daylight.
When it was about 5:32 a.m., they set to leave. One of the soldiers asked, “Where is the man that came to call?”
“Who?” I never knew anyone called the soldiers.
We saw nobody.
Then I remembered the man who ran inside with me when we were chased by a gunshot.
I opened the gate for the soldiers, they drove out.
As I was closing the gate, I saw the man again, the man who ran inside with me when we heard gunshots. The last time I saw him was the previous night when the generator went off.
Then He was moving up the street. His clothes were shining as gazed at him, it was like a cloud was around Him.
I saw a side of his face, he was smiling, there was so much love on his face, I shouted Son Of Man! Son Of Man! I didn’t know his name, but that name came to my mind and I shouted it, SON OF MAN.
There were goosebumps all over me. I ran inside the house. I wept all through the day.
My family is safe now. My opponent in the king race was the man who sent the strange men. He has been arrested. I am now the sole runner with 100 per cent certainty of becoming the next king.
But I’m at a loss for what to do with my life.
Should I become King? Should I divorce my second wife and become a deacon again?
I honestly don’t know. Please tell me.
