Confused about what?" Her mother asked her.
"I just called the police station, and was told Omagbemi is still rotting in jail. They said she's even in a terrible deraigned state, but here she is in our house. What in the world is happening?" She shouted.
Their mother was shocked and afraid at the same time. She looked at Omasan with curiosity.
"Are you a witch?" She asked her.
"No, ma. I am a twin!" Omasan said to her.
"You are lying. I cover this house with the blood of Jesus. Every manifestation of witchcraft against my son, die by fire! Die by fire! I loose my son from your evil spell and grip!" She said and started speaking in tongues, pointing her fingers at Omasan.
"Enough of all this, mom! Enough! You're embarrassing her" Honest shouted angrily.
"My son, open your eyes. This girl is a witch o. How can she be in prison and in this house at same time? Honest, you have brought a spirit into my house! Holy Ghost fire! Holy Ghost fire!" She kept shouting and speaking in tongues.
Honest went and raised Omasan (who was already crying) from the floor.
"Allow me to remain on my knees for my sister!" Omasan said to him.
"Your sister? You mean you're twins?" Roli asked when she heard her.
"Yes. The lady in prison is my twin sister. We look virtually alike in every aspect except character-wise" She said to her.
"Don't believe her. This is how witches and wizards do to deceive and destroy their victims, but this one will not succeed. You have entered the house of fire, and you will not go without being burnt by the fire of the Holy Ghost!" Honest's mother said to her children.
"Mommy, please stop! Stop!" Roli said to her.
She (Roli) drew closer, but carefully to Omasan and touched her, then gently lift her up.
"Get away from her! She might cast her spell on you!" Her mother said.
Honest stood up and walked towards her, "Mommy, she's a human being like you and her. Like she said, she's a twin. Her sister is Omagbemi, and she's Omasan!" Honest said to her, and she stopped her prayers, becoming more sober.
Roli made Omasan to sit down.
"I would love to hear your story" She said to her.
"I would love to share mine first" Honest protested gently.
"Before I allow you waste my time with your boring episodes; mommy, this lady demands an apology!" Roli said to her mother.
"Erhhhm... I... I... I am sorry, my daughter. Please, forgive me!" She said, but Omasan went on her knees, "I am sorry, ma"
"Please, stand up. I'm the one to apologize for embarrassing you. I feel guilty for my hasty conclusion about you" She said, embracing her.
"Okay, since everything is now settled, let us hear from you first, Honest. Please, it must be news in brief!" Roli said to her brother.
"You're not serious. You must hear the whole story" Honest said to her.
"Ooooook. Talk!" She said to him.
Honest narrated everything that happened from when he was kidnapped to when he arrived home, and he said everything within 15 minutes.
"I have always known you for your great ability to summarise a detailed report. Now, over to you, Omasan. Take your time and tell us your story" Roli said to Omasan.
"This is partiality. You told me news in brief and now you want her to use all the time?" Honest protested playfully.
"Look around, brother. Did you see any other man here?" Roli asked him.
"Hey, I will not entertain any exchange of words from both of you. You're not kids anymore, but adults. So, behave mature!" Their mother said to them.
Omasan giggled a bit.
"Omasan, my daughter. Please, go on. We are all ears!" She said to her.
