My Fiancé’s Ghost (Part 3)

 My Fiancé Ghost (Part 3)

Continuation 

After the burial of Ama moon has been doing fine. Happily living his life.

Went back to work. 

He moved on as if nothing happened and then he got the fright of his life on a Friday night, Moon got home so cheery and went to bed without taking his bath or removing his dress because of how exhausted he was. 

Getting to midnight Moon was wakened by a splash of water, he was so confused and scared. How on earth was he so drained in the water while lying on his bed, what just happened? Oh, God... How I'm I wet on my bed? 

Suddenly he remembered he went to bed in his work dress and all, but he woke up stake naked and all wet. 

What is going on here? Who undressed me? 

I'm I dreaming or what? 

Or maybe I later undressed before sleeping? If so, then how I'm I so wet? Who poured water on me? 

Moon was asking himself so many questions but can't answer any of them, he was so scared to sleep and was shivering throughout the night till morning. 

Waking up the next day he hurriedly left his house, and went to a nearby restaurant to eat. 

He ordered his food and it was brought to him by a lady who was all smiles as she approached, getting to his table Moon started seeing AMA’s face instead of the lady’s face, he was stunned and he ran away from the restaurant immediately shouting at the top of his voice. 

Everyone in the restaurant was surprised and wondered if he has some mental issues or something, how can he run off like a madman? After ordering food? One of the waiters said, well thank God he has already paid.

Moon entered his car still shocked and in tears, what is going on with me? Why did I see her? I’m sure that was her, trying to serve my food. Does she want to kill me? She wants me to die, that’s why she came there.

I don’t understand, let her leave me alone. The dead has nothing with the living, I am not letting her turn me into an insane man…no, never.

As he was about to drive off, he perceived a fragrance.

What? That is AMA’s smell scent, oh Lord…

He opened his eyes wide in fear, he looked everywhere to see if there is any of AMA’s perfume in sight but he couldn’t find anything.

I must be going mad, yes…if not why I’m I perceiving her scent? I am tired, I don’t want to go crazy” he cried. Moon, put yourself together. You are not a mad man, stop imagining things.

He suddenly heard a knock on the right side glass of his car, it was a man he was blocking his house entrance. 

Oga drive this car out of my gate, are you normal? The man angrily lashed out at him.

Sorry, sorry. Moon drove off with speed, his hands were shaking on the steering wheel as he was driving.

I am so hungry, I need to eat but I don’t know what to do. I am not feeling myself anymore, my head is splitting into parts. 

I think I should go to my Mum’s side to eat something, I am tired.

Moon decided to eat at his Mum’s.

Getting there he drove in and ran inside like he was being chased by an unseen force.

His Mother was surprised to see him.

Son? What is the matter? Why are you running? Who is after you?

No one Mom, I’m just so eager to see you. I am fine, are you sure? 

You don’t look fine to me.

I am fine, I just need food. 

I’m so famished and tired, I had a long day yesterday.

Since when did you start lacking food in your house? 

What happened to the chef that cooks food for you? 

Mother, she resigned and stopped coming to work after AMA’s burial. She got a job outside Lagos and resigned.

Just like that? Without prior notice? That is bad of her.

Mother that is not my problem now, I’m so starved, please. Is okay let me get you something to eat. Welcome son, relax. You look nervous..

 I’m okay.

 I hope so o.

Moon’s mother entered the kitchen to get something for her son to eat, only to shout from the kitchen. Moon ran to the kitchen with speed to find out what happened.

Mom are you okay? 

I don’t understand what is going on. All the food I stored in the freezer has mysteriously disappeared. 

I had in this fridge soups, meat and stew.  But nothing is here anymore and it’s confusing, you know how I store food; what is going on here?

Mother, you mean everything disappeared?

Look, she pointed at the fridge. 

Moon ran out of the kitchen in fear, as he entered his car Lilian called.
