STORY SERIES: THE TRIALS OF PUNTO (EPISODE 2)

Written by U.D. Okechukwu

….continued from last week…
He picked up the nylon bag and kept it by the side of the road as they continued to pick up the remaining part of the broken bike. They immediately headed for the market after they were done.A certain girl named Rita was sent to the market by her parents to buy items. Rita was a teenager who loved to exploit her youth. She loved dancing and singing. Whenever Rita sings, people loved her voice and would applaud her. There was a time she sang a special number in her church and the pastor gave her a gift which her parents appreciated.

When Rita was on her way back from the market, she thought of her friend Michael who lived a few blocks away. Rita dropped her nylon bag by the side of the road and proceeded straight to Michael’s house. A few seconds turned into minutes and before she could realize, she had spent an hour. Returning back to where she had kept her nylon bag, it was missing.

Rita couldn’t find her bag. She was devastated. She couldn’t phantom how the bag developed hind limbs to walk away. Without much ado, she called back at Michael’s house to ask if she left it there while they were together but she couldn’t find Michael at home.

In another confused thought, she hurried back to the market where she bought the items.

When Checheskey and Punto got to the market, they prized food items and got a fair price. While they were busy buying, the nylon bag Checheskey picked up by the side of the road was on top of the vendors table. The shop owner asked them if the bag belongs to them and they said that they picked it up by the side of the road and they had it in mid to give it to him once they had finished at his shop.

Rita, looking so confused passed by where Checheskey and Punto stood and halted in astonishment.... To be continued.
