Emeka was rushed to the school clinic but after a proper
medical check-up, the school doctor said that the diagnosis didn’t show any case of illness. At this point, everyone
concluded that it may have been caused by exhaustion. The issue was ignored and
forgotten but Emeka knew all was not well
as he knows he was not tired or feeling
weak at the instance when he slumped few hours ago. Just like the others after
trying to get answers but couldn’t , he too moved on by ignoring it.
Later in the evening that same day, the junior students were
playing football at an open field close
to the dormitory when Emeka came to join them. They ignored his request to join
them and also mocked him saying “Go and join the
principal in signing paper and leave us alone here”. He felt bad
and he then uttered a curse to those mocking him saying “May Amadioha strike that ball you’re playing” immediately, a thunderous noise was
heard from the skies which brought down a flash rays of light to them and the
ball which they played burst into pieces. At this occurrence, they were all
shocked and ran away but Emeka stood there confused and shocked at how his
words came to pass. When other students
heard what had happened, they were all scared of Emeka. Some secretly called
him “Son
Of The gods” .
The news of
what happened that evening became the talk of the school the next day but no
one was bold enough to go and report the case to the school authorities because
they were not sure if they won’t be cursed just like the ball by Emeka. So everyone
kept mute about it. that same day, a thief broke into the dormitory while
classes were on. So no one knew what was going on. later on after classes, the students found out
that there was a serious looting of their beds, bags and pillows. They were
shocked and were not sure of who to even suspect about the whole mess. Emeka
came into his own room and discovered that the cup his father used which he
brought to school to make use of was also stolen amongst other valuables. He felt
like crying. He then angrily once again placed a curse on the thief who stole
their properties saying “May he run mad and tie those properties he stole round
his waist and walk to every building in this town” . his angry curse made others laugh as
they could imagine a man tying beds, cups, pillows round his waist and walking round the town. The school
was alerted about the theft and the issue was reported to the police for investigation.
At exactly
5:45pm that day, behold the thief was already mad and it was the schools turn
for his madly visit. The man barged into the school premises by scaling the fence. Students were shocked to
see their properties all tied into bunches with a rope and girdled round one
man who was actually mad. They were confused and astonished at the same time. Some
of them then recalled the funny curse Emeka uttered earlier at the hostel in
the afternoon. At this point even Emeka was also confused cause he couldn’t understand
why everything he said always comes to be. Most of the students on hearing that
it was his words that made the thief mad, they started hailing him with praises
but the small boy was not happy because he was not sure of what was going on
with him.
Later at
night after lights out, he came out to pee before going to bed and he stepped outside
alone, he saw three men in red ropes who asked him to come close but being
scared, he stood still. Then they told
him that the gods have possessed him as a chosen one and that’s why he can
command things in nature. Immediately he heard this, he recalled when he
slumped and he wanted to run away but slumped again.
