Evil Wears a Quiet Face
The day Yetunde arrived at the compound, Bruno the dog refused to come out of his kennel. It was unusual. Bruno barked at delivery men, wagged his tail for visitors, and chased shadows when the gate opened. But when Peter the gatekeeper let the new house help in, Bruno only lowered his head and growled.
Yetunde stood at the entrance, a small bag in hand, face calm and eyes downcast. She looked gentle, almost fragile. Madame Esioh, tired from her day’s work, tried to smile. “Welcome, my dear,” she said, adjusting her wrapper. “Your name is Yetunde, abi?”
“Yes, ma,” the girl replied softly.
Mr. Oazi, Esioh’s husband, barely glanced at her. He was late for a meeting and impatient with introductions. “Just work hard,” he said. “This house is peaceful. Don’t bring trouble.”
“Yes, sir,” Yetunde answered, still looking at the floor.
Their only child, Osato, sat at the dining table, sketching comics. Ten years old, imaginative, but shy around strangers, he peeked at Yetunde, then bent over his book again.
From her first day, Yetunde carried herself with humility. She swept and mopped without waiting for instructions, cooked stew the way Madame liked it, and helped Osato arrange his school things. Her smile was small but constant.
“She seems okay,” Esioh told her husband that night.
“At least she’s not like the last one.”
“Let’s see,” Oazi replied. “Don’t trust people too fast.”
The house settled quickly. Peter kept watch at the gate, David drove Oazi to meetings, and Yetunde ran the house inside. Even Osato, though shy, followed her to the kitchen sometimes. But strange things began happening quietly. Osato started waking with scratches on his arm—three thin marks that looked like broomstick lines.
“Did you fall?” his mother asked.
“No.”
“Did you fight in school?”
“No.”
Yetunde cleaned his skin gently. “Sorry, small one,” she whispered, blowing softly on the wound like a mother would. Esioh noticed and her heart softened toward the girl.
One night, Osato came to their room, silent, standing beside their bed until his mother woke.
“What is it, my son?” she asked.
“I had a dream.”
“What kind of dream?”
“Eyes.”
“Whose eyes?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know.”
She pulled him close, praying quietly. “You will not see evil.”
In the morning, he acted normal. Children forget quickly, but the scratches continued, the dreams continued, and Bruno the dog still refused to go near Yetunde.
Weeks later, Esioh discovered she was pregnant. She told her husband in their bedroom one night, voice trembling between fear and excitement.
“Are you sure?” Oazi asked.
“I’m late.”
He held her hands. “This one will stay. It must stay.”
“Amen.”
They decided to keep it secret for now. Not even Peter or David knew. Certainly not Yetunde.
But women observe women. Esioh realized that Yetunde’s eyes followed her more closely. Nothing obvious—just a glance here, a longer pause there. One afternoon, it happened. The house was quiet. Esioh came down for water. Yetunde was at the sink, sleeves rolled up, washing plates. The curtain at the window shifted slightly. For a moment, Esioh thought she heard a whisper, like someone calling a name she couldn’t catch.
“Good afternoon, ma,” Yetunde said, voice steady, but her hands slowed on the plates.
As Esioh climbed the stairs, a sudden tightening gripped her lower belly. She froze, pressing her palm against it. The pain eased, then came again, sharper. By the time she reached the bedroom, a warm wetness slid down her leg. She looked at her dress. A red stain had already spread. Her scream shook the house.
Oazi rushed home from the office. David sped them to the hospital. The doctors tried, but it was too late. The pregnancy was gone.
Grief entered the house like an uninvited guest. Esioh wept silently at night. Oazi grew restless at work—deals collapsed, contracts failed, money leaked out slowly like water from a cracked pot. Osato’s nightmares worsened. He told his mother of standing taps that wouldn’t stop running, of someone smiling through the kitchen window. Yetunde, quiet and beautiful, moved through the house as if nothing had happened. She cooked, cleaned, smiled, but her presence hung heavy like perfume that refused to fade.
One evening, as thunder rolled far off, Esioh told her husband, “We must go to church. Reverend John said we should come.”
Oazi nodded. He had no fight left. “We’ll go.”
As they lay in the dark that night, holding hands, both felt it—something in their home was not what it seemed.
Friday came like a heavy drum you hear from far away before you see the dancer. From morning, the house moved quietly. Nobody said “church” out loud. Even Bruno prowled near the veranda, lying down to watch the door as if he was also waiting. Esioh wore a simple gown, nothing bright. She tied her scarf and sat on the edge of the bed, hands on her knees, eyes on the wall clock. The tick-tick felt louder than usual.
Oazi came in from the balcony. “David is downstairs,” he said. “We should go early.”
“Where is Osato?”
“He’s in the sitting room. He has his Bible.”
“Okay.” She took a deep breath, then another. “Let’s go.”
David’s car was already idling. The radio was low, talking about rain on Third Mainland. When they entered, he turned it off and faced front.
“House of Restoration, ma?”
“Yes,” Esioh replied.
“And everybody’s going?”
David’s eyes flicked to the mirror. It was a simple question that carried plenty meaning.
“Everybody,” Oazi said.
“Okay, sir.”
There were four in the back—husband, wife, child, and maid. Yetunde sat close to the door, hands clasped in her lap, eyes on her knees. She looked like someone going for choir practice. If not for the weight in the car, you’d say she was the most innocent among them.
When the church gate came into view—a small signboard, simple building—Esioh felt air rush from her chest. Not relief, just awareness that something was about to start. Inside, ushers with soft voices directed people.
“Welcome. Good evening. You can sit here.”
The hall wasn’t big. Wooden pews, a pulpit with a cross, and a keyboard that sounded slightly tired but still faithful. From the back room came a faint song, warm and steady, like a pot of stew simmering.
Reverend John stood by the altar, speaking with two elderly women. He didn’t dress like some pastors who looked like musicians—simple shirt, Bible under one arm, eyes that had seen things and didn’t panic easily. When he saw the family, he walked forward.
“You came,” he said. “You did well.”
“Good evening, sir,” they chorused. His eyes rested on Osato and softened.
“Young man,”
“Good evening, sir,” the boy replied, voice small. Reverend John glanced at Yetunde briefly, then away. No drama, no suspicion on his face.
“We will pray,” he said. “Let God be true and every liar exposed.”
They sat in the second row. The service began with songs everyone knew by heart—nothing complicated, choruses you could sing with eyes closed. Voices rose and fell. Some people clapped gently, some as if fighting something only they could see. The hall warmed up, not from heat, but from attention.
The first prayers were familiar—mercy, protection, help. People’s voices grew stronger. The reverend’s tone changed slightly.
“Every arrow assigned against this family, back to sender.”
The words rolled out like stones down a slope.
“Every hand sowing tears in this home, wither.”
Oazi and Reverend called without shouting.
“Come forward. Bring your son. Bring everyone in your house.”
“Church,” Reverend said, “stretch your hands.”
The church stretched hands.
“We will not entertain fear. We are not here for drama. We are here for freedom. Lift your voice.”
They prayed. At first it felt ordinary, like many prayer meetings. Then a current moved through the room—not wind, not fan, just a certainty that what could hide yesterday would find nowhere to hide today.
While he prayed, Yetunde remained on her knees at the side, hands together, face toward the floor. If you took a picture, you’d caption it “devoted girl.” Then something shifted. It was small at first. Her shoulders trembled—not full shaking, just a ripple. Her clasped fingers pressed tighter. The church’s noise carried on, so only those close enough noticed. Esioh saw it from the corner of her eye and looked away quickly, then looked back again.
Reverend John’s voice stayed even.
“Every darkness renting space in this household, pack your load.”
He didn’t look at the girl yet. He paced slowly in front of the family, one hand on his Bible, the other raised slightly.
Yetunde made a sound like a hiccup that got stuck. She forced a cough, clearing her throat as if something went down the wrong pipe. Her breathing quickened. She tried to stand. An usher moved closer to steady her, but she waved him off with a small, irritated flick of her wrist, then cut herself and bowed her head again.
The church pressed harder in prayer. You could feel people stack their words like sandbags against a flood. Time stretched. The reverend stopped pacing and stood still.
“Enough,” he said.
The hall quieted—not fully, but the volume fell. He turned towards Yetunde.
“Young woman,” he called, firm, not harsh. “Look here.”
She lifted her head slowly. Their eyes met. There was nothing impressive about the moment—no thunder, no drum, just a look. She held it for a second, then dropped her gaze fast as if the air near him burned.
“What is your name?” he asked.
“Yetunde,” she whispered.
“Raise your head. You have been seen. There is no hiding place.”
He lifted his hand slightly.
“Fire of God.”
“Fire,” the church replied.
Yetunde jerked, then tried to stand and run. Her knees failed. She grabbed the chair, knocked it over, and crawled two steps like someone escaping a burning room. An usher and a deaconess reached for her. She hissed at them like a cornered cat, then collapsed flat, chest beating quick.
“Don’t touch her,” Reverend said. “Let God finish what he started.” He stepped closer, but kept a small distance.
“Confess,” he said. “How did you enter this house?”
She squeezed her eyes shut.
“They sent me,” she choked.
“Who?”
Silence. Then a laugh that was not laughter, thin and sharp.
“Who do you think?”
“Speak clearly.”
She began to mutter names none of them knew—names that sounded like crossroads and night air. The church murmured. People prayed in low tones.
“Why the boy?” Reverend asked.
She twisted.
“Because he is loved.”
The way she said “loved” made it sound like an insult.
“And the woman?”
Her mouth trembled.
“Because she rejoiced.”
Yetunde’s breathing became ragged. She clutched at her own dress, as if someone else’s hands were inside it.
“Don’t touch me,” she whispered. But it sounded like a plea to something only she could see.
“Blood you collected,” Reverend said quietly. “We withdraw it.”
She groaned low and long, like the sound a generator makes before it dies. Yetunde screamed—a sound that made the hair on people’s arms stand. She pressed her hands to her face and rolled once, twice, then she went still except for the jump of her chest. Her hands fell to her side slowly, as if tired. The hall held its breath. Even the keyboard stopped humming.
“Open your eyes,” Reverend said softly. She obeyed. She blinked once, twice. Her pupils didn’t catch the light. Her gaze searched the ceiling, then the faces around, but found nothing. She moved her head in small circles like a person in a dark room trying to find a window.
“Sir, I can’t—I can’t see.”
Yetunde started to shake her head.
“Please, please.”
She reached out blindly and grabbed the air.
“I didn’t—I was—I was—” She swallowed and the rest broke into small sobs. No more growl. No more second voice. Just a girl crying like rain on zinc.
“Church,” Reverend said, “pray for the family.” They gathered around Oazi and Esioh and their son, leaving a respectful space around the girl on the floor. Hands stretched, words rose—gentle, grateful, strong.
Early the next day, two women came to the gate. They said they were Yetunde’s aunt and elder sister. Their faces were lined with worry. Peter called inside. Esioh met them in the compound with a deaconess who had stayed behind to help. No shouting, no accusations. The women didn’t even deny anything. They just asked, “Where is she?” And when they took her from the church office later that morning, the aunt’s eyes stayed on the ground. She held her niece’s elbow gently and guided her like a woman guiding grief.
Evil may wear a quiet face and call you “ma,” but it will not win where light is kept burning.
