CHAPTER 23


    I stared into the mirror hung on the toilet wall as I brushed my teeth, I wasn''t feeling so good this


    morning but I felt it was probably the stress I had gone through the day before. I felt nauseated and a


    slight headache too. I thought about the good news I had received yesterday.


    "Are you really serious about the wedding" I asked excitedly.


    "Yes I am!! Would I lie about a thing like that" Salma said.


    "So, the wedding is this weekend" Salma informed


    "Wow,that''s early. That''s in like 3 days from now "


    "Yeah, there was no point in waiting and since it''s just going to be a small garden wedding with close


    families. We decided to make it earlier" Salma exined.


    "That''s great, is there anything I can help with though. I would love to help" I said


    "You can, there is a lot to do. I won''t refuse free help" Salma said

    "Alright then, I should be there tomorrow" I informed before she ended the call.


    I opened my wardrobe to pick out a cloth to wear to Salma''s ce. After several minutes of picking


    out different clothes. I finally made a decision. I picked out a gown and wore it.


    I got down the stairs and was about to open the door to leave the house when I realized it was


    locked. It was never locked especially since people were inside. I realized it was locked with a key.


    "Ayo" I called out


    "Yes ma" She answered as she walked up to me.


    "Where is the key to this door and why is it even locked" I asked


    "The key isn''t with me ma" she answered.


    "So, who is it with then" I asked


    "Oga(Ridwan) took it with him when he was going" She said and then I  figured Ridwan had actually


    locked me inside the house.


    "What!!"I eximed then proceeded to where I had dropped my phone on the table to call him. I


    scrolled through my phone to dial is number then I realized my phone had been tampered with. The


    sim card in my phone was a new one with just Ridwan, my mum and sisters number on it. I


    immediately  dialled his number then he picked on the second ring.


    "Hey" he said


    "Why would you lock me inside the house, what kind of behaviour is this. Like I am a prisoner, in my


    own home" I said angrily.


    "Yeah, I locked the door and no one is saying you are a prisoner. Somethings just have to be done to


    make sure everyone is safe and okay" he exined.


    "What does that even mean, there is no excuse for this" I said


    "You really should just sit at home and rest. No need going about outside"


    "And what did you do to my phone and where is my sim card" I asked


    "I changed your sim card and since the important numbers you need are there, you really don''t need


    any other number" he said and I became even more furious. What the hell was going on. I really


    couldn''t wrap my head around it all and before Ridwan could say another word, I ended the


    call.
