Episode 8 of Otelabi Story
06:19
As she was running towards the treasure, she entered into a trap setup by an hunter to catch animals. Her leg was caught up in the trap and was bleeding profusely. She cried for help and nobody could help her. She had started loosing much blood.
Otelabi: Yee! I'm dieing, who will help me? Oluwo come to my rescue oooo. Don't let me die like this.
Meanwhile Oluwo and his cohorts were monitoring Otelabi in their screen. They were very happy that finally Otelabi would die.
Otelabi has lost a large amount of blood, she has become so weak and dieing
"Is this how I will end my life?" She questioned.
Otelabi had already given up. But all of a sudden, she saw a man standing in her front.
"Please, help me sir" Otelabi begged
"That's why I am here, I'm here to help you"
The man bent down, removed the trap, did some first aids and the blood stopped flowing.
He gave Otelabi some herbs to consume so as to restore her blood. Otelabi started regaining her strength, now she could stand up.
"What brought you here" The man asked
Otelabi: I came here to pick up a treasure.
The man: What type of treasure is that?
Otelabi: Diamond! That's it there ( pointing to the diamonds)
The man: (walked up to the diamonds and took them)
Can't you see that these diamonds are fake. It looks like a real diamond,but it's synthetic.
Otelabi: What! Ah! Is this what I wanted to die for?
The man: Oluwo planned all these against you, Oluwo is not your friend, he is your enemy.
Otelabi: But…
The man interrupted: he is nice right? He is only deceiving you, he is not nice. Anyway, this place is dangerous, come let me carry you on my back.
Otelabi: Carry me? Why are you so nice?
The man: Well, that's my nature, I love people easily even when they are complete strangers
Otelabi: That's good! I wish to know you better
The man: surely, we will know ourselves more than this.
As Otelabi moved, he got to the back of the man, in a twinkle of an eye, they appear outside the jungle where Otelabi guards' were waiting. By this time, they were already weary of waiting, some bad thoughts has already occupied their hearts. Thoughts like "Otelabi has been killed by wild animals" "The evil demon has killed her" but they couldn't say it out because of the fear created by Otelabi.
Now, Otelabi and his newfound friend appeared from nowhere.
The guards were sore afraid to see them.
The man: Otelabi, I will be leaving you now, take care of yourself. Just have it in mind that I love you.
Otelabi: Who are you? How did you even know my name?
The man: smiles, you asked two questions, which one should I answer first? Anyway, my name is Love. I have known you for a very long time.
As the man started introducing himself, his face began to change gradually to that of king Adeife.
Otelabi: Yee! Help ooo! King Adeife, ah! How? Why?
Within few seconds, he disappeared. As he was disappearing he said "Otelabi, remember I love you"
Otelabi was dumbfounded, she could not utter a word.
For several minutes, she could not say anything. Later she said "What manner of man is this? What does this man sees in me"
After a while...
Otelabi: Let's go home please. Please....
In few moments.... They got home
When she got home, she was taken care of by her maids and she slept for several hours. While she was sleeping Oluwo and his cohorts started planning on the way forward to destroy Otelabi.
They finally reached a conclusion and they planned to visit Otelabi in 3 days time.
After 3 days, Otelabi had fully recovered, although the scars was still there.
Oluwo cohorts finally decided to pay Otelabi a visit..
When Otelabi saw them coming, she became angry.
Oluwo: Good morning Otelabi.
Otelabi didn't answer normally, she just answer with nose.
Oluwo: We've heard what happened to you, it's so bad that King Adeife set a trap for you, decided to kill you and also change the diamonds to fake, and then pretended to be a nice person by saving you.
Otelabi: You can't say that, King Adeife was my saviour, you are the one that wanted to kill me.
Oluwo: Never allow King Adeife brainwash you, he is very trickery and cunning. He is a master of pretence and deceit.
Otelabi: Are you for real? So you mean to say king Adeife set me up. Ah! This man! So you're this so wicked and deceitful.
Oluwo: I tell you, we must do everything in our power to stop this cunning king.
Now, tell your men never to allow any one from king Adeife see you, never ever set your eyes on anyone of them.
Otelabi, come nearer let me tell you something.
Oluwo wishphers some words in Otelabi's ear
After the whispering,
Otelabi: That's what we will do, thank you Oluwo.
After the meeting, Oluwo took off and Otelabi went inside her room to relax
The following day king Adeife sent some emissaries to check the welfare of Otelabi.
Now, the emissaries got to the gate of the village, with the Otelabi guards on duty.
The guards: Who are you and where are you going?
Emissaries: We are messengers from king Adeife, the king sent us a message to Otelabi, we came to check on her health and to present her some gifts as usual.
One of the guards: ooh, that's good to hear, thank you for coming to check on our boss.You may enter.
He opens the gate for them, and they entered through the gate.
Other guards were surprised that the emissaries were allowed to enter the village.
They called the guard and whispers secretly.
"Why did you open the gate for them"
" Don't worry I know what I'm doing, just cock your gun"
They all cocked their gun. Then he signified to them to shoot. And these emissaries were shot and the gifts were collected. They packed their corpses and disposed them.
In few hours, Oluwo guards arrived and carted away the gift brought by Adeife.
That was how many other messengers sent to Otelabi were killed and their gifts were carted away.
After a few months, Oluwo finally decided to kill Otelabi by physical poison in her food. Oluwo sent his guards to give some poisoned foodstuffs to Otelabi.
He sent the foodstuffs to Otelabi through his guards.
While the Oluwo guards became tired as they were walking on the way, they decided to rest and slept for few minutes before continuing their journey. Finally, they woke up and got to Otelabi house. Otelabi was happy to receive the gifts. The next day, Otelabi cooked some of the foodstuffs, but nothing happened to her. Oluwo monitoring Otelabi from the screen was surprised to see Otelabi alive, even some of the maids that ate the food was hale and hearty.
Oluwo and his cohorts became confused and they began to suspect each other, maybe someone has neutralised the poison .
Oluwo: If I get to know that anyone of you here has compromised by neutralising this poison, the person will be killed.
Oluwo made some incantations and immediately, the source of problem was shown. It was revealed that it was king Adeife that came to change the foodstuffs while the guards were sleeping.
Everyone of them was surprised.
"What does the king Adeife really want in this woman called Otelabi" One of them furiously said.
Oluwo: We will never rest, Otelabi must not live, but we must find a way to stop King Adeife.
They planned their next attack and they decided to physically assault Otelabi.
One midnight, they came with guns, knives, matchete, etc
They got to Otelabi room, they had already targeted where she sleeps and they started cutting her. But to their surprises, Otelabi did not shout for help. Finally, they decided to uncover Otelabi face and lo and behold, it was merely clothes they met
What really happened was that Otelabi had been sicked and she had had left her house to a local doctor to receive some medical help and she couldn't return home that night. That was how she was saved from death. Oluwo and his cohorts were seriously disappointed.
In several other occasions, Oluwo had attempted to kill Otelabi, but she has been miraculously delivered by King Adeife interventions.
