Dikeledi

When 8 o’clock hit on the dot Rachel and I were long out of the door. “Are you ready?” She looks at my direction, I can almost see her nerves, she takes a deep breath and knocks at the door.

After a tense 20 seconds the door cracks open, standing there was a tough looking guy with no smile, “Come in.” After closing the door he led us inside to the lounge where a Nigerian man sat, he placed down his food as and looked at me directly as if assessing me “You must be DK.” He said with a strong accent “You are really beautiful.” He said licking his lips “But that’s not why you are here.” He stood up and went to a table that had photographs and a big vase filled with flowers in the middle, he held the tickets up “These are your plane tickets.”

He pointed into a room and nodded towards it “You Rachy know the drill but as for you DK you guys are going to go into that room after you are done you’ll come back right here, understood?” Without waiting for an answer he went back to his seat and continued eating.

Rachel and I both walked into the room two ladies were already waiting one smiled at me “You are the new girl, come.” I walked towards her on the left and sat down “This is not hard you are just going to swallow this,” She said holding up a small plastic filled with white stuff tied in a round “I hope you not hungry cause you can’t eat anything so as to avoid the drugs from bursting in your stomach, If you wondering how they’ll come out; well it will be in 2 ways either you vomit or you do number 2 if you get me.” She said with a wink. She handed me one plastic “Just don’t think about and just swallow ok?”

I took the small plastic from her hand and placed it on my mouth I took a deep breath as I swallowed the plastic.

It was the most uncomfortable thing it was like swallowing food that just get stuck on your chest.

“If it doesn’t go down, you can drink water.” I took the glass of water besides me and drank a little and just like that it went down, I took another plastic from the bowl without even thinking about it and swallowed it.
