At first, she was always excited every evening when this man calls her on phone. I was genuinely so much happy for her, because she has gone through a lot in the hands of
terrible men. The man on this particular day invited her to his country side, but since she has not met with him before, she begged me to accompany her to the place.
So we both decided to make a 6hour trip just to make her happy.
Meanwhile, I called my Pastor and told him about it, he tried to stop me from following her. I never wanted to look like enemy of progress; I decided to pray and ignore my
pastor and follow her on that said day. On getting to the said address, he was there waiting for us. We exchanged pleasantry as we followed him to the room where we will pass the night, so I excused myself from the room to allow them have plenty of time to themselves.
I didn’t eat from him that night because we ate on the road while coming. I was just too tired, so I dosed off.
Around 2:15am exactly, I heard some noise, so woke up and turn on the light in the sitting room, it sounded like a serious struggle. So in my mind I felt probably they were having sex, I tried to ignore the noise, but I was kind of disturbed.
Linda managed to let out a scream calling out my name, immediately I jumped up. I dashed straight to the door, it was locked, I did all I can to open it, but no avail, I no remember the technique my younger brother taught me about door locks, so I immediately tried it on the door and it open.
I was in shocked when I discover a snake swallowing my roommate, which was all I remembered. Next was that, I woke, but the snake was just still and calm steering at me, it couldn’t make any move, I ran out to call for help that morning, it around 6:40am, so passersby came by to help, but it was too late. They killed the snake, but she was dead. It was just too late, too late. *Tears.*
