? EPISODE 4 ?

Sonia called her mother on phone, telling her she and Steve would return two days later. She was so happy and called on Henry to come and listen to their conversation, she turned on the phone speaker to enable Henry hear every bit of the conversation. To Henry’s amazement, he heard nothing sound coming from the phone speaker, but his mother was smiling and laughing at the conversation between she and Sonia. The call ended and Henry expressed his shock.

“Mum, why were you laughing and smiling. And you were responding as though you were talking with someone?”.
“Are you okay Henry? It seems to me you need a psychiatrist. Do you mean to say you weren’t hearing Sonia speaking on the phone? A conversation I had to turn on the phone speaker to be loud and clear, something I heard so clearly?. My son, this is not ordinary, I think I have to call a psychiatrist before this gets out of hands”. His angry replied him.
“Mummy”. He called in a sober tone. “Please, don’t be offended. I know you may find it difficult to believe me, but it is the truth. I’m not insane, I know what I’ve been seeing lately. Believe me mum, I heard nothing from you people’s conversation. Something happened today in my office”.

At this point, his mother was calm and was ready to listen to him. “What happened son?”. She asked.
“Mum, you won’t believe what I saw today in the office”. Henry told his mom.
“What did you see this time around? You always see things”.
“Mum, this is no jokes, though I decided not to tell you things I see anymore. But the more I tried to keep them to myself, the more pressure I get to say them out. Today in my office, I felt very pressed. But instead of using the office restrooms, I don’t even know the force that pushed me and decided to use an uncompleted building behind my office. I saw something like a ghost. She just stood there staring at me, mum, she looks so much like Sonia”. His mum cuts in immediately.

“God forbid, Chukwu aju. Can’t be my daughter, come Henry, you are beginning to annoy me with all this your hallucinations. Don’t you come to me anyday to tell me such rubbish again. My daughter and Steve will return safe and sound. I’ve told you to stop all this hallucinating Henry, it is beginning to upset me seriously. When your father returns from his journey, he has to take you to a psychiatrist. Thank goodness he will return tomorrow”. She got up and left Henry still seated.
“No one is believing me, everyone thinks I’m mad. I love my sister and wants her alive, but I have to say the things I see”. He echoed as his mom walks away. Sonia’s room is next to hers, while she was trying to open the door to her room. The door to Sonia’s room opened and closed itself with a heavy force and she was terribly afraid.

Similar situation has been playing out in Steve’s house, where his mother and sister has been on loggerheads over the things she sees. Henry appears to her more than Sonia appears to Henry.
She walked up to her mum to talk to her once again, the things she’s been seeing. And this time, her brother was around with the mom as she was on phone with Steve. Abigail was surprised seeing her mum talking, laughing and demonstrating like someone who has gone mad. Her brother also laughing and contributing to the conversation once in a while, it appeared the phone was placed on speaker to allow him be part of the conversation. But Abigail heard no sound coming from the phone, she sat in awe and allowed them finish with the conversation.

When they were done discussing, the mom turned to her.
“Madam seer, why are you looking like someone who just saw a ghost? I hope you heard all we discussed with Steve your brother?”.
A surprised Abigail was too shocked to say anything, she sat and was biting her fingers expressing her shock.
“What is wrong with you?”. Maurice, her brother asked. “Is everything okay? Ain’t you happy Steve will be coming back in two days time?”. He asked, yet Abigail answered nothing.
“This attitude of yours is beggining to upset me Abigail, honestly I no longer find it funny. How will you be acting like someone who has gone mad?. The mother asked angrily as she bursted into tears. “It is time you stopped all these, else I will be forced to take you to a psychiatrist.

Maurice moved close to his mom and held her, telling her to stop crying as he vented his anger on Abigail.
“I can see you are loosing your mind, this strange behavior of yours will have to stop. If you do not stop, I will help you stop it. Stop acting like a mad woman, stop making everyone feel uncomfortable in this house. I won’t warn you again”. He turned to his mom and wiped her tears with his hands. “It’s okay mom, stop crying. I will handle the situation before it gets out of hands”.
While he was still speaking, the door that leads to Steve’s room opened and closed with a heavy force and everyone looked terribly shocked. She quickly opened her door and rushed into her room
Sonia’s father returned the next day and his wife told him all She’s been going through with Henry. She told him everything as they sat on the bed discussing..

“Henry have been giving me so much fears since you traveled, he’s been acting very strange”.
“What has he been doing or acting?”. He asked.
“He’s been telling me he sees Sonia appearing to him on several occasions. He even claimed she spoke with him some days back”.
“This is not funny at all, has he gone insane or what? Don’t worry, I will talk with him in the morning. Even though I’ve dreamt a number of times seeing Sonia appearing to me in a white apparel, but I take them as just dreams. I will talk with Henry and know what his problem is”.
“Please do, you really need to talk with him. What you’ve been having are mere dreams, you are missing your daughter, that’s all”. She answered him.
He smiled and held her hand. “I think you are right, I’ve really missed my baby girl. I’ve been in touch with them, and I’m happy they will return tomorrow”. He said smiling and holding her close to him to begin the act of bedroom, when they heard same sound on Sonia’s door. With footsteps walking around the corridor, but they waved it, thinking it was Henry. Then they got into the act of husband and wife.
The next day, Steve and Sonia returned. But Henry was observing a different Steve and Sonia from the ones he used to know.

It’s been two weeks since Sonia and Steve returned from their journey and so many strange things have happened in both Sonia and Steve’s house. One fateful afternoon, Sonia had gone out to see Steve, Henry and his mother were discussing in the sitting room when they noticed something strange.
“I’ve been noticing some strange behavior from Sonia since she came back from the journey with Steve. So many things about have changed, she acts very strange and funny sometimes”. Said Henry, Sonia’s brother.
“You are right son, I’ve been having some bad dreams lately, especially since the day she left on that trip with Steve. I saw them involved in a ghastly autocrash, but I prayed against it. I even called her and told them to be prayerful. Since she came back, I’ve equally been noticing so many strange things.

The other day, I wanted her to help me do something in the kitchen. So I went to her room to wake her up, she was deeply asleep, I had to tap her severally before she got up. What surprised and scared me most was that I didn’t branch anywhere, I went straight to the kitchen from her room. Guess what Henry, Sonia was already in the kitchen before I got there”.

“Hmmm! Mum, I’ve seen worst than that”.
“I am beginning to get worried, I think we need to see a spiritualist”. His mum told him.
“It hasn’t gotten to that mum, let’s still observe her some more”.
While they discussed, they both felt a heavy force around. A shadow walked through their middle, because they sat opposite each other. They sat staring at each other in shock, she was beginning to reason with Henry.
