Chapter 244: Supernatural

Yeah, happy she was, after she had acquired my shirt, well I am still and also happy because, having her wear my shirt makes her go always perceive my smell for a very long time, yeah, my smell, and the more she perceives it, the more she will crave for me, and the more she craves for me, the more relevant I am to her. That is my happiness.

Well, not long after aunty Paula went into the kitchen, the two men showed up, it was almost like they had been called to be informed about the food, I am definitely sure that either mom or aunty Paula called them. They arrived at the gate and alerted us with their horn. Mom came out of the kitchen to inform us that they were already there.

Cynthia and I still wondered what they might be preparing that had all these mixed aromas, we could perceive the smell of barbecue, peppered meat which is also known as Assun, fried rice even fried chicken among others.

So, Cynthia and I went out to the gate to unlock the gate, we actually did, and they drove in, they were still in fake dad's car, after unlocking all the keys, we finally opened the gate and they drove in, Mr. Bright looked at Cynthia with amusement. 

"Who has this shirt? It's actually nice o, just that it is a little bit too big."

Mr. Bright said. With the little brown million in his hand

"It's obviously Damian's, the lord of The Merman's Street."

Fake dad said. He looked at me with this look that could be mistaken for a surprising look.

"Yes dad, it is Damian's"

Cynthia said.

"Oh, you brought the clothes, thanks Dad."

Cynthia said as she collected the brown nylon from her father, it contained the cloths which aunty Paula had called him to bring when he is coming, but he was a little late, Cynthia was already in my clothes while aunty Paula was also in mom's.

"Your Uncle Bright told me everything, he said you are now the owner of this great street."

He added, tapping my head. Well, I guess that Mr. Bright was not the only one who told what he knows about me, it seems like they both traded the little Information they knew about me, judging from the way Mr. Bright was looking at me, it was quite obvious that he just had some shocking information about me.

"Let's go inside... Are they done with the cooking?"

Fake dad asked me as he hung his hand on my shoulder as we strolled inside."

I think so, aunty Paula said something about it being ok."

I responded.

"What did they cook? They will not tell us, they said we should come and see it for ourselves."

So he asked again

"Sir really, we just can't place our fingers on what was cooking in the kitchen, we could only guess from the aroma of what was coming from the kitchen.

"Ok, I am all ears, tell me, what did you suspect that your mom and her friend were cooking?"

He asked again. I just don't know, but I suspect that this fake dad will like gossip a lot, and I was already suspecting that he will take my place, I will soon become invincible before mom, with a character this, mom will definitely make him her gossip mate and with that, I will be officially sidelined.

"Like I said sir, I think it's fried rice, fried chicken, assun, and grilled beef."  

So I said. I just do not know how he expected me to guess right what they were cooking in the kitchen where we were not given access. Yes, I have indeed got a super sense of smell but I was still yet to know how good it was.

So, we walked into the house in pairs with fake dad and, I and with Cynthia and her father. I noticed how Mr. Bright was looking at me all the while in the sitting room, I already knew that fame dad had already told him about me. But I noticed that Mr. Bright actually was not scared of me, unlike many folks will do if they find out the truth about me. He started at me straight in the eyes without being scared of me hypnotizing him. Hahaha, I can't do hypnosis, it's not a trait of ours, the mer-fish-race cannot hypnotize, it is an attribute monopolized by the mer-snake-race, so I was just saying hypnosis because many people believed that all mer-people can do that, but it is just not true, not all, but only the snake-race. Yeah, just like it is on earth, so is it in the sea, just like there is the White race and the Black race on earth, so also is the Snake and the Fish race. The races are very easy to distinguish and you can clearly see that the fish race has the tail of a sharp while the snake race has that of a python tail.

So Mr. Bright kept looking at me till he could not bear it anymore, he left his daughter and walked to me, he stood before me for quite a while, he felt his face with his two palms, then did the same to me, after he nodded his head. After that, he pinched himself and pinched me, it was pretty hard. Cynthia sat there where she was, she just looked at her father and wondered what it was that he was doing.

"Ahh!"

I exclaimed in pain.

"Wait... You. You felt the pain?" 

He asked me looking kind of surprised. At that moment, I just sat there watching him like he was one free.

"He feels pain, he has teeth like ours, his skins are like ours, he breathes like us. The is totally no difference between us and him, so, he is just. So fascinating, I love this boy, he is lucky."

So he said. When he said this, I looked at Cynthia in the sea of my confusion, and Cynthia who was obviously confused as I was looked back at me and shook her head and made this gesture with her hand indicating that she knew nothing about who and what he was saying.

He was still standing before me and doing that which he was doing when mom and aunty Paula came out of the kitchen all smelling like one delicious meal.

"Welcome o, you guys never wanted to return?"

Mom asked with a smile on her face as she placed the big plate of fried rice in the middle of the dining table.

"Damie, tune the TV. To a music station, I think it's time to party."

Mom said with yet another smile.

"Party after party."

Cynthia said in a low pitch, but her mother caught it, she laughed and she immediately said back. 

"Yeah... Party after party, party after party."

This was actually popular at that time, and aunty Paula had proven to be current with the trending vibes. She came out with a big stainless bowl of meats, it was obviously pepper meat which was also called Asun. The both of them went back into the kitchen leaving us with them to savor the delicious aroma which oozed out from the dishes on the table.

"Men, these girls really planned to finish us with delicacies today."

Fake dad said, but Mr. Bright seem to still be carried away by his amazement towards me. He asked me to get up which I did sluggishly, I planted my eyes at Cynthia all the while as I stood.

"Dad, you are feeling him out."

Cynthia slavishly said to my defense.

"Keep quiet! you all knew this and you kept it from my knowledge."

He said back at Cynthia. 

"Come here, give me a hug."

He said. For a fact, he was already feeling me out.

"My mom said I should change the TV station." 

So I said out of fear already, I just needed space, I just do not understand what he was doing. For a fact, I still never knew not until my University school years that everything started to be playing out clearly.

"Mr. Bright, you may now let the boy be, You are beginning to become creepy, stop this before you make me wish that I never told you."

So fake dad said before he finally left me, but he never truly left me, he did he will only not bother me, but he will have to find out more from my mom.

"Ok, I will not bother him anymore, I will only find out more from his mom, I think she will even know more. But this is fascinating, but why was I not told? No wonder those hoodlums were after him. They might not even be who you all thought they were, they could be the hunters, remember nobody saw their faces or skin colors,  you all should have told me."

So he said before going to his seat for a sit, he said yet another thing that no one knew at the moment. Not too long after, the ladies were already out of the kitchen with the fried chicken and grilled meat (barbecue). They later came out with one which I failed to realize, a chicken pepper soup. I was almost hundred percent accurate with my smell, but how on each could I miss out on a pepper soup smell. It was a very strong and distinguishing smell. Well, you never can guess it all. So u thought to myself.

Please can we all come up to the table? I think that party has officially begun."

Aunty Paula said while dancing to the music on the TV. With this, we all stood up and hurried our steps to the table where we had this mountain of well-prepared fried rice. The rice that was prepared by two of the world's best chefs, though not officially chefs, but were chef to us. Fake dad seem restless, he could not wait for the eating to begin.

Well, before we could know it, everyone was already at the dining table, we all surrounded the delicacies and mom asked that someone should pray for the meal before we eat, and that was when Mr. Bright came up again with his freakiness.

"Let the supernatural one pray, after all, he is a demigod, his prayers will be answered quickly and easier than any one of us."

He said. With this mom's openness, the eyes which she had already locked all along and looked at him.

"Excuse me sir? I do not understand you please."

Mom said.

"Please pardon me, I was been carried away by this beautiful and exciting thing that I just found out today. Your son, he is a special one, you are most lucky to have him. He is not an ordinary human you know, he is a god, his father is a god, I never knew that I stood before a sea god the other day, no wonder he looked like he did and no wonder your son looks like looks too. You know, you all would not have hidden it from me, I have been studying his kind for a very long time, and I am a super fan of them. But he needs to be very careful, you both need to be careful, there are people called " Hunters", they specialised in going after his kind, they hunt them and take them down the Bermuda, where they believed that they belong, in the Triangle of Bermuda. You know, I am suspecting that those people who came after you and your son were not just assassins but the hunters. You all need to be careful, though you are a gift to us all, a gift to humanity, but you need to be secretive about your gifts so that they won't have to notice you, these people are trained for this, and they are not even from Africa, many are British."

So Mr. Bright said.
