Forget, mwa dogodi clean and I worry no body.
One early morning, during the period I conceived my daughter, I was craving for full roasted chicken garnished with salad and pepper sauce, accompanied with chilled hollandia yogurt.
I called the woman, and she said I can come around by 6:00am.
So around 5:45, I set off with my big stomach so I can get there on or before the appointed time. Though the distance between my lodge and the woman's shop should be about 10 minutes away.
Few seconds away from my lodge gate, I sighted a very huge man with a giant dog free from chain taking a down walk. I also saw people running but I did not bother hence the dog was going with his owner.
However, things took to a different dimension when I was already two poles away from my lodge. Low and behold, the giant dog began approaching My way, the size of the head could measure up to 10 litres of a gallon, the wideness of the mouth ( because he was approaching with it's mouth widely open) can be equal to a 4 liter gallon when cut open.
This time around, the tongue was about to touch the ground with its dirty drooling tongue due to the galloping movement he was coming close to me with.
At this point, I can hear people yelling out to me; big belle run run run. I was about to pick a race but then, I paused and looked at myself, it then dawned on me that I'm heavily pregnant.
Even if I want to run, can I run away from this dog? Where will I run to?
I then gripped the pole and began saying my last prayer. The worst is: the more the dog owner tries to call him to order, the faster the dog approaches.
I said God, forgive all my sins and accept my humble soul today if this is how you want me to come to you. I have already wetted my body and tears dropping like rain. I said to my innocent baby, please forgive me for not being brave enough to save both of us.
The dog is already licking my body. With my eyes tightly closed not to witness the scenario, I felt my spirit and that of my baby living my flesh. I've already passed out at this point.
The next thing I saw was, water being poured on me to revive me back. When I opened my eyes, with heavy tears, I only said thank you to them and gently walked back to my lodge, I did not dare enter my room with those dog saliva all over my body. I went straight to the washroom with the help of my roommate. When I came out, I knelt down and prayed to God then quietly lay on my bed and cried like a baby.
My roommates were curious to know what happened to me, but, they won't hear it from my mouth.
The chicken woman has been calling me, I told her I don't want to eat again.
After some minutes, she brought it to my lodge having been told about the encounter I had with the dog by passersby. I did not wait for her to say anything, I just grabbed it from her and began devouring it like it was my last supper. My roommates were busy laughing. When they heard the story from the woman, there was a cold atmospheric state in the room.
That was how roasted chicken would have led me on the journey..............
A blessed weekend my people.
