BELINA (Tender Beauty) season 1

PROLOGUE : I entered the house after about an hour of aimless walking. Strolling had become my second hobby recently and hardly would you find me at home around 5 o'clock in the evening. On entering the house, my heart raced, my head seamed bigger than its normal size, and i felt dizzy. Something is definitely wrong somewhere, i thought. I had only felt that way twice, and those are times i don't want to remember. I went into my room and did not see anything awkward, i instinctively made for my dad's room, and there, i got the shocker of a lifetime. For some seconds I stood, glued to the ground with my mouth agape staring at the person I knew to be my father. I just couldn't understand why, of all the pot-bellied men in the world, I was doomed to answer the surname of this man. The reason why I still call him 'dad' remains a mystery to me. I ran out of his room and when I got to the sitting room, I was already crying. The bitch came rushing out some minutes later and ran past me thinking I would do something but I wasn't after her. Memories of recent occurrences came flooding my mind and I had to quench it quickly. I heard my dad's footsteps and dried my eyes quickly, not wanting him to see my tears. 'Who gave you the right to come into my bedroom without knocking?' he asked as he marched into the sitting room. There is a saying that you can only see the bottom of a chicken when the wind blows. The meaning became clear to me as I glared at my father. I stood up and faced him. 'I knew you never loved my mum, you made it so evident, but bringing someone else to her bed barely two weeks after her death...' I laughed bitterly, ' you definitely deserve a trophy. I hate you and everyone whose gender starts with 'M'. I HATE YOU'. [hr] episode 1&2 EPISODE 1 **** I knelt down by my bed on Thursday morning to pray but nothing seemed to come out of my mouth. I placed my head on the bed and closed my eyes but I didn’t have the enthusiasm to offer any prayer. Confusion, worry and anger has become the order of the day since my mother died two years ago. Everything just seemed to go wrong at the same time. I lost my job two months after her death and my plans to get my own apartment was truncated. My plan to get another job with my First Class Certificate in Applied Psychology was also fruitless but the latest development seemed to be taking a great deal of my patience and self control. ‘Lord, I thank you for today, please Father, make it a good day’ I said and got up when there was nothing else to say. I washed up my face, brushed my teeth and went about the house chores. Breakfast was already prepared before seven, I placed it on the table for my father and went to take my bath.I went back to the sitting room dressed and met dad eating. I mumbled a low ‘good morning sir’ and just as I was about to eat, I heard a knock. ‘Who is that?’ I asked pondering on the same question as I opened the door. Standing before me was the very person who made my life a living hell. **** Prisca woke up to the ringing of her phone and from the ‘I just wanna say I love you’ tone, she knew who was calling. She smiled and picked up the phone. “Morning baby boy”, she said. “Hey honey”, Tony said over the receiver. “Mmmm, it is nice hearing your voice early in the morning”, she responded. “How was your night dear?” “I dreamt of you” she said smiling foolishly. He laughed and said, “hey baby, before you make me get late for work, I need to tell you something.” “Anything for me?” she asked. He feigned seriousness and coughed, “Well, tell your friend, what is her name, yes, Belina, that she should come to our hospital on Monday to start work” “what are you saying” she practically screamed, sitting up instantly. Tony laughed heartily, “yes baby, she got the job.” *************** I stared at Tunji coldly, “what are you doing here?” He shook his head, ” Is that the way you greet your future husband? let me in”, he ordered. I laughed mockingly, “you are crazy. I have always known that, but I didn’t know it was this serious”. He scoffed. “Belina”, dad yelled and I stiffened. “let him in now”. I stood with my arms akimbo blocking the doorway. “BELINA” I eyed Tunji and reluctantly stepped aside. I slammed the door after him with so much force that the house shook. Dad glared at me but turned towards Tunji and grinned. “Good morning Mr Badmus”, Tunji said. “Morning my son. Sorry for her rude behaviour, she is just being childish”, dad said. I rolled my eyes in disgust. Amazing what people would do for wealth and power. ‘why can’t this idiot take ‘no’ for an answer?” i wondered. “I am through with the arrangements sir”, Tunji was saying smiling at me. Dad nearly jumped out of his skin in excitement. “oh, oh Tunji, you are God sent, God bless you a million times, ah…” Puzzled, I asked, “what arrangement?” Before he could answer, my phone rang, noticing that it was Prisca, I went to the room to answer it. Unlike our usually long chats, the call ended within two minutes. Unable to conceal my joy, I practically danced round my room after letting out a loud scream of joy. Dad and Tunji ran into my room. “What are you doing here?” I asked unable to hide my happiness. “What do you mean by that? what is all the fuss about?” Tunji asked. “Well, I just got a job, and not just a job, a very good one”, I said grinning proudly. Dad and Tunji stared at each other. “well, you are not taking the job”, Dad said. “Excuse me?” “Yes, we would be travelling to London on Saturday. The arrangements have been made, so start preparing cos the wedding would be done immediately we get there”. Dad said. I blanched. ; Episode 2 The tension in d waiting room of best result hospital can be sliced with a knife. The nurses are on their toes doing one thing or d other. The waiting room is unusually rowdy & the people are busy moving from pillar to post & not even d nurses were able to calm them down. The reason for d turmoil laid on d bed in the operating room with 3 doctors attending to him. He had been involved in a fatal accident on his way out & was unconscious. We have been told to avoid ‘one way’ in Lagos, but some people would just not listen. Best Result hospital happened to be close by so he was immediately rushed there. Adewale rushed into d hospital like a possessed man. He saw Deji’s family members & some friends & instantly knew that d news was not a frame up “No”, he screamed. People gathered to help him & calm him down but he was violent. “No, he must not die”, He was coming to see me, I … i …” The nurses moved him to a chair, “pls calm down young man, everything would be fine”, one of the nurses said. The 3 doctors came out after about 2hrs. they looked tired & sapped as they made for their offices. Doctor Richard headed towards d waiting room & upon entering,everyone held on to him like a lifeline asking all sort of questions. The doctor tried to make out one question but could not. Finally, he said, “calm down everyone, he is alive”. Everyone started talking at the same time again but this time, they were talking to God Deji’s father went to meet the doctor & said, “thank u doctor, God bless you, e ko ni ri laburu “yes sir. He is alive sir but he needs prayers now cos he is in a coma. The accident affected his head and his survival chances are slim”, doctor Richard said. Deji’s father’s face froze and it seemed like he had seen a ghost. Adewale who had been eavesdropping suddenly went to hold the Doctor’s shirt. “Please, make sure he survives doctor. He wouldn’t be on that bed if i hadn’t insisted that he come to my place. I would not be able to bear it if he…, if he…” Doctor Richard placed his head on his table some minutes later deeply distressed. Memories which he had tried hard to blurt out came uninhibited to his mind; those were the memories that gave him consistent nightmares. A tap on his shoulders jerked him from his demons. “What is wrong Richard?” Doctor Tony who was Richard’s best friend asked. “I… I am fine “No, you are not. If you did not hear me calling your name, you are not fine.” Tony said looking worried. “It is nothing.. The tension in the waiting room was just more than i bargained for.” Richard said standing up. Tony laughed a bit, “Rich, you are a doctor and you definitely have faced worse. Richard sighed, “the accident of the patient occurred when he was on his way to a friend’s place and the poor guy is almost ripping his head off in guilt”. Still not getting his point, Tony asked, “And?” Richard glared at him, “Tony,that patient has only 20% chance of survival and i can’t watch him die. Do you remember that i know exactly what that guy in the waiting room is facing? Alarmed, Tony stood up, “Richard, u are not still blaming urself for what happened then, are u?” he asked. Richard looked at him, his eyes haunted, “Tony, i still have nightmares. i can’t forget. i have tried all i know can as a doctor and i don’t wish even my enemy would be in my position”, he said and took a deep breath. “i would get some air”, he said and left the office. ***** The alarm that went off in my head would have definitely woken the dead. I wanted to tell dad to repeat what he just said but I knew that I was not having problem with my ears. I turned cold eyes at Tunji and said quietly but firmly, “leave” “What?” He asked looking like a fool. I moved towards him slowly & before he could count one to three, what he heard was ‘kpa’;even though my hand still ached from the hot slap I gave him, I forgot all about it & dad who was busy saying all sorts of rubbish as I push Tunji out of d house. After slamming the door forcefully, I turned around to face my mistake of a father but I was greeted with a hot slap. The slap was so hard that I practically started seeing things but I steeled myself against crying. ‘Never let them see your tears, it makes u vulnerable’, I remembered d words of my mum. “You this little brat, you are so stupid. How dare u slap Tunji? You better go after him now & beg him”. Dad growled. “God forbid. u have no right whatsoever to think u can control my life. Who do you think u are? I am not going anywhere with u & that son of a nobody but you can go if u want to. I am 22 for God’s sake & I have the right to make my own decisions”, I yelled. “Not while u are under my roof. You have to do what I tell u”. He shot back. I almost said something but I bit it back. I looked at my dad & as quietly as I could, I said emphatically, “like I said, u can go with him but as for me, u better think again ‘sir’”. I stormed out of d house.

EPISODE 3 As I walked on our ever quiet street, my blood flow started normalizing & the incident that I had been trying to keep at bay started pushing itself back to my memory. The slap that dad gave me seemed to also slap back that memory. Throughout my secondary school, I succeeded in keeping men at arm’s length & didn’t have a boyfriend throughout,despite my numerous admirers. I finished with a remarkable grade & gained admission immediately into UNILAG & also focused on my studies not glancing twice at any guy but my charade was cut short in my 3rd year when I discovered that there are some guys that ur eyes can’t finish assessing with one glance I sat on d open field one afternoon reading, when one of my annoying toasters came. “Oh baby”, he drolled, “u too dey read sef” I ignored him “Abeli”, he called in his usual way but I ignored him again. He yanked d book out of my hands & my head jerked up as my eyes drilled holes into him “Give me back my book”, I demanded. “Why didn’t u answer me? I stretched forth my hand, “Hand it over now” He smiled, “A kiss & I would give u” I wanted to slap him hard but . . . “Give d lady her book”, a voice said. That voice chilled me to d bones & I could almost feel d ground shake at d sound but surely, I was hallucinating That was the voice that shook my world both positively & negatively. “Enough of all this rubbish”I thought. I need to solve this problem. After thinking for some minutes, I fished out my phone from my pocket & dialed d only person I could. She picked on the 3rd ring. “Sweetheart mi”, Prisca said over the receiver. “Pric, I need ur help” *** Tunji sat furiously at the owner’s side of the car on his way home. He was busy clenching his fist like someone who was ready to box d life out of Bashali. “No woman has ever slapped me”he thought. He still couldn’t believe that he had actually been slapped. And by a woman? “No matter how beautiful she is, she won’t get away with this” he thought as he picked up his phone to dial a number “Omo deputy governor mi, ur excellency sir”, a voice said “Pls shut up Tolu, I need u to do something for me. Someone had the nerve to raise her hands against me”. Tunji said. “Ehn… A she? She must be dealt with” “Alright, here is what I want u to do …” *** You know at times, u get to a T junction where u know that either way u go is going to change your life one way or the other. I thought about my discussion with Prisca & knew that going with that plan was d best thing I could do I got back home & met d house empty. My phone started ringing immediately I sat down & I discovered it was an unknown number. I picked it & waited until I heard a baritone voice at d other end saying “hello” “Good morning, pls who is this?” I answered. “Is this Miss Belina Badmus?” the speaker asked “Yes pls” “My name is John, calling from Heaven’s gate Chapel. We just want to remind u of d musical concert which would be holding tomorrow” he said. I opened my mouth as I realized that I had actually forgotten everything about that concert Though I hadn’t produced any album, I was invited by some churches to minister in songs. “I would be there, thanks a lot”. I dropped d phone some seconds later & mentally began to search for a nice song for d programme. *** Mr Badmus entered the large compound of his friend, chief Olowodolu, & looked round jealously. Every time he entered this place, he always remembers his good old days. He had nothing less than three buildings in island, & one small building in the mainland, Ikeja to be precise. He had lived a life of affluence but his business crumbled after 5years of marriage. He sold off his properties in the island to pay debts & moved with his family to Ikeja. “I must be rich again”, he thought as he entered his friend’s sitting room. *** “Let us go now Richard, I don’t want to be late o…” Tony & Richard are inseparable friends & have been for 5years. Apart from them being medical doctors, they were also in d music line. Being exceedingly handsome, they were d envy of other guys & the desire of ladies. Tony took advantage of this & had so many girl friends by flirting with them but Richard was the quiet type, jovial at times which made him more desirable but he could turn the heart of any girl perhaps unknowingly. Tony seemed to have arrived at his bus-stop where women were concerned & Richard had become indifferent towards them. Tony attended a musical concert in a church some weeks ago & hadn’t stopped talking about it,for some unexplainable reasons, Richard felt he needed to attend the next edition with Tony. “For God’s sake Tony, u told me the concert would commence 5 o’clock, this is 4:20, what is the fuss about?” Richard asked looking exasperated. “If we don’t get there in time, all the good seats would have been taken & we would have to seat at d back”. Richard sighed; “Alright then”, he said leaving the movie he was watching for the bedroom.

EPISODE 4 I looked at myself in my bedroom mirror & smiled. I definitely look stage worthy, I thought to myself. I took out a styling comb & combed my hair to perfection. Thank God for long hair, it could make u look presentable even when u did not make ur hear. I applied a little powder & lip gloss & set out. I alighted from a public bus & looked at the address again. Wole, who had made sure I was one of d guest artists had warned me that the church was a big church. I almost passed by a very massive building when I looked at d sign-board & discovered that that was my destination. I opened my mouth as my heart started racing. “Hello miss” My head jerked round & I discovered I was already at d entrance. “Uhh, hi”, I said. “Are u one of our artists,ma’am”,d guy obviously an usher asked “Ehm,Yes. I am Belina Badmus”. The guy checked his file &smiles at me b4 calling a lady to take me inside. As I stepped inside, my heart almost stopped. I saw nothing less than 500people & still saw empty chairs which could easily seat close to 300people. The highest number of people I had sang to was 200 & I was totally afraid that day. I considered turning back as I stood transfixed. The lady usher noticed my fright & gave me a comforting smile. She looked at me from head to toe & back again & said, “I am sure u can handle it” **** Mr. Badmus sat down in his living room, thinking about d best way to convince Belina. He remembered d discussion he had with his friend d previous day & hissed. “Oh… it is nice seeing u my friend, Chief Popoola said,standing up to greet him. Mr. Badmus smiled faintly. “Since I need to get visa b4 I see u,what do u expect?” “It is not like that” chief popoola responded. Mr. Badmus sat down without waiting for d permission, d chief offered him drinks from his over-filled bar & within minutes, they were talking. “See, this Belina of a girl would not kill me o, she sees a lifetime opportunity & cannot jump into it”. Mr Badmus said after some minutes of discussion. “What do u mean?” “Do u remember d birthday party of senator Olowodolu that u invited me to some time ago which I forcefully dragged her along?” getting a nod, he went ahead to explain everything up to d latest development & what did he get? “Listen to me my friend, I would advise u to leave her alone. Every child has d right to do things d way they please, our own duty as parents is to advise them & if they insist, we ought to-“ “Shhh,pls spare me d lecture Mr.Lecturer, I don’t need it ok?” he said & left immediately. Mr. badmus hissed for d umpteenth time. “That idiot does not want someone to be better than him” he soliloquized. Belina would have to do my wish whether she likes it or not. I would find a way. **** The church was half way full when Richard & Tony arrived. Richard noticed that d auditorium could definitely occupy 1000 people & looked at d structure of d building appreciatively. Tony looked around desperately looking for a place where they could get a good view & found a spot that was just perfect. They both sat down & Richard had a feeling that he was in for a good time in God’s presence. *** As d usher led me to my sit, my mind started rolling asking so many questions; what if I fall down on d stage? What if my voice cracks? What if … I stood like d pillar of salt that the bible talks about as I stared at d one person I wished I would never set my naked eyes on. Kelvin also stood there looking like someone who was standing face to face with a ghost. I wondered if he thought i should be dead. He was about to say something but I guess my eyes sent a warning signal & he swallowed his words. Wise choice, I thought as I joined the usher who had been looking at us puzzled. As I followed her, I no longer saw d crowd, I only saw a chance to prove to Kelvin that I am not a piece of trash. *** The sitting room was freezing cold because of d recently purchased split air conditioner, the plasma Tv was on & was showing cool music videos but Adewale could not relax. His friend had been in d hospital for 2days now & was still in a coma. he had stayed there &was forced to come home today in order to freshen up. Adewale stood up & went to d bar to pick up an alcoholic drink but hadn't tasted it when his mind started wandering. He remembered his discussion with Deji & how he persuaded him on phone to some over so that they could both attend a function together d next day. he downed a cup of wine at d thought & b4 he knew it,he had finished the bottle but still could not wipe out the sense of guilt that was clouding his brain. He remembered how close they were & could not hold back d tears that came to his eyes. He looked at d wall & saw,'Jesus is Lord' on a photo frame & walked to it. As he stared at it, he knew he had only one thing to do. TO BE CONTINUED...

Thanks, mray. Nice story, blessedgirl.

EPISODE 5 I had to admit that d theme of the concert which was ‘Opening Heaven’s Gate’ was not an exaggeration. The atmosphere seemed to be charged with d power of God & d singers seemed to possess angelic voices even though I hadn’t heard d voice of an angel b4. I was lost in a world of my own when I suddenly heard, “We would now like to welcome a young lady whom God really took time to design & package. After moulding her,he put in her throat an angelic voice which cannot be rivaled. Pls put ur hands together as we welcome Miss Belina Badmus My heart started running a 100m race & I remained on seat for some seconds until I summoned courage to stand up. I walked up to d programme coordinator & smiled as I collected d mic. I faced d congregation &instantly wished I could disappear but that did not happen, then I remembered Kelvin was somewhere amongst them & everyone seemed to vanish b4 my eyes. I had previously arranged for a piano to be set on d altar.After taking in enough breath I introduced myself & introduced d song. I planned on singing a personally written single since I had no back-up so I sat down behind d piano & d show began. *** Immediately d songs started coming, Richard instantly knew that his attendance was not a mistake but he felt that he was looking for something more. He received a text message & his attention was instantly diverted to his phone. His head jerked up as he heard someone speaking but his breath was instantly taken away as he stared at d slim figure on d altar. The sky blue filmy gown she wore perfectly brought her curves to light. She was d perfect description of figure 8. He left d gown & d next thing that came to his eye was the hair; long, black,& oh-so- beautiful . He has d urge to touch it in order to feel d texture. His eyes then moved fully to d face & all d words that came to his mind could not do justice to that work of art. Her eyes seemed to tell a story. There was a moment of uncertainty in her eyes & a bold stare replaced it. He desperately wanted to be close to her in order to find out d mysteries behind d eyes. Of everything he saw, it was her song that totally blew his mind away. He stared at her as her slim fingers pressed d piano. She seemed to draw everyone into her song with so much ease that within seconds, Richard found himself listening to d lyrics of d song Tony had earlier on stepped out to receive a phone call from Prisca, d damsel that captured his heart,& was away throughout d ministration. When the lady in blue finished her song, stood up & curtsied with a lovely smile on her face, Richard wished he was closer in order to capture her that way. An ear deafening applause followed & Richard joined Tony came in 5mins after Belina’s presentation & found Richard looking around like he was searching for something. “Are u looking for me? Tony asked Richard stared at tony like he had suddenly grown horns “this ridiculously long talks u have with prisca would soon put u in trouble. U have just missed d best performance this evening” Tony hissed, “when u allow urself to love again,u would find urself doing d same thing. So, who sang?” Richard opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out, that was when he realized that he was d biggest idiot in West Africa. *** Prisca stood at d veranda of her dad’s house thinking about d love of her life, Tony. She remembered d first time she set her eyes on him & dwelt on it though it was not such a pleasant day. She had been standing by d road looking dejected. She was close to tears & she felt stupid. She had gone to visit her boy friend at ikeja but she ran out when he almost raped her. She had been thought by her parents to remain chaste till marriage & that fool thought he had seen a mugu. She had been lucky that her bag was close to d door but after walking some distance, her bag was snatched from her & all she was left with was her shirt, her trouser & her flat shoe. She stood by d road & no matter how much she hated it, she had to stop a private car. The first car happened to be Tony’s car & immediately he consented to carrying her, she entered & did not as much as glance at him throughout d drive. Tony wanted to say something cos he was not used to being overlooked but when he looked at her, he noticed that she was secretly crying so he kept quiet. He dropped her at her door step even after she insisted on coming down earlier. After he left, Prisca had been sad that she didn’t really appreciate his help but after some days, she forgot all about him. He appeared on her doorstep 2weeks later & d rest is history. Prisca left d veranda smiling as she went inside & when she saw d picture she had snapped with Belina, she decided that she would involve another person in their escapade. *** There is a saying that it is when there is trouble that u remember ur creator, but I would advise u to remember ur creator always so that trouble would flee from u TO BE CONTINUED..

@vict-vames i am more than splendid.........i am Extra-ordinary,Undisputed thats my title....... @jenifa gud morninq.......i gbadun u ooo,u are tryinq......bt are u sure u can be able to handle Meee......cos Ermm Ermm...... @konphido baba i see u.....

EPISODE 6 Adewale arrived at Living Faith Bible Church & met d place open. He hadn’t been to church for more than 2months so he was surprised when he saw some changes in d church. He headed towards the altar looking like a prodigal son &when he got there, he knelt down & all he could do was stare blankly. He stared at d pulpit & remembered d times d pastor had preached on Faith but it made no sense to him then. He held onto d pulpit & tried to say something to God but nothing seemed to come out of his mouth so he let his thoughts do d talking. He laid on d altar some minutes later & felt peace from within. All his thoughts & worries seemed to have flown away & within minutes, he was asleep. *** Tunji laid on his extra-large bed in similarly massive room thinking about what he had planned to do for d night. His mind kept on telling him that it was not a good idea & that it was too risky but he ignored it. He had seen Belina at his dad’s birthday party & had instantly fallen for her. He had bragged & told everyone that she would be his girl soon but he had tried all his possible best and hadn’t been able to get her to at least smile in his direction for the past one month. His phone started ringing and he when he noticed that it was Belina’s father, he picked up immediately. After talking for some minutes, he hung up and really had a reason to smile. He dialed Tolu’s number and he picked almost immediately. “There is going to be a change of plans, meet me here in thirty minutes”, he said and hung up immediately. ********** ********** As Tony and Richard made their way home, Richard was busy thinking about the damsel in blue gown and therefore was very silent, Tony noticed this and joked about it but Richard said he was just stressed up. Richard got home and made a mental note to relax well in order to banish the reoccurring thought and immediately he opened his wallet, a passport slipped out of his wallet and as he picked it up, his nightmares returned. He stared at the passport of Tonia which he took her to snap about a year ago and all he wanted to do was work until dawn so that he would not sleep and have nightmares. ********** ********** Mr. Badmus dropped the phone on the table and smiled. ‘Now things are going as planned’, he thought. If she would not accept the easy way, she would accept the hard way. ********** ********** I walked into my ever silent street around 9pm in the night after the concert. My ministration had gone so well that I had been thanking God all through. I banished all thoughts of Kelvin as I made my way home cos I wouldn’t want him to spoil my day. After the service, I received so many thanks from people around and the coordinators gave me an envelope which I hadn’t opened yet including a bag which I guess contains beverages and other things. I had just stepped out of the church when a girl of eighteen walked up to me and said, “Miss Belina?” I turned around, “yes?” “Pls ma, i love your voice, your song and everything about you and I would like you to be my mentor, plsss?” I laughed, “for starters, I am not ma, you can call me Belina,&why not, I would definitely be glad to be ur mentor”, I said. She was so happy that she jumped on me & apologized later & I laughed. We later exchanged numbers &she promised to call me. I was about entering my compound when I made a mental note to jot down everything that happened today in my diary, d day seemed to be a blessed day. I entered my house & I was instantly grabbed from behind. The last thing that came to my mind b4 I passed out was, “I don die” *** “Brother Wale..”, pastor Adewuyi called. Adewale opened his eyes slowly & the first thing that he saw was a ceiling fan. I don’t have a ceiling fan in my house, he thought. “Brother Wale, are u ok?” d pastor asked looking worried. Adewale turned to d speaker & noticed that it was Pastor Adewuyi & became more confused. Am I here for deliverance? He wondered but when he sat up, he noticed that he was on d altar everything that happened including the reason why he was there became clear to him. He looked at d pastor & said, “Pastor, I am not ok, in fact, I am distressed”. Pastor Adewuyi took Adewale to his office & Wale relayed d events of d past 2days to d pastor. Pastor Adewuyi sighed & said to Wale, “u have to be strong for urself & for ur friend. The devil puts fear in our hearts in order to make us doubt God. You need to be close to God now more than ever cos surviving a coma can only happen with God” Adewale sighed & nodded b4 he joined hands with d pastor & they prayed for more than 20mins. Adewale left that place feeling confident that God would definitely do something spectacular. *** Prisca dialed Belina’s number d 9th time that night & still heard” the number had been switched off. She hissed as she threw d phone on d bed.

EPISODE 7 She was terribly worried cos she had promised to call around 10pm when she was sure that her father would be asleep to conclude on d time they would carry out their plan Belina had explained everything to Prisca & even though Belina didn’t like being a burden, Prisca had been able to successfully convince her that moving in with them was d best option. She had always wanted her around since she was the last born & also d only unmarried child of d house. She had become lonely & Belina being her best friend had visited a couple of times & she had enjoyed her company immensely. She had talked to her parents & they had supported their plan. She looked at d time & noticed that it was almost 12midnight & she became more worried. She contemplated calling Belina father in order to stylishly ask for Belina’s whereabouts but cancelled it immediately, then she picked up her phone &dialed Tony. *** I opened my eyes & d building I found myself started changing colour. It was after some minutes that my sight regulated. The room was very dark that it took sometime for me to see anything important. I remembered my abduction & made sure I was completely still. I heard a snoring sound ahead of me & carefully as I could, I traced d sound & was not surprised when I found two guys. I remembered that I was drugged but it is either that d drug was not so powerful or that God made me with extra tire for a time like this. I noticed that they were fast asleep & I tried to stand up but my legs were unstable. I gathered all d will inside me & pushed my weight up. I swayed but didn’t dare fall for fear of giving myself away. I noticed that my shoes were gone & I didn’t bother about it. As I tip toed out, I saw my bag extremely close to one of d guys & making a cross sign, I bent to pick d bag. As I was lifting d bag, it mistakenly hit d guy lying beside it & i froze. The guy turned & to my relief, he changed position &continued his sleep. I creaked d door open & it made some funny sounds that i expected that someone would have woken up but i did not hear anything. I sneaked out of d place with my heart in my mouth, hoping that there was no one outside & glory be to God, i found myself running towards the road within seconds bare footed. *** Tony walked around d hospital checking on patients. After he left Richard, he had gone to d hospital cos he was doing night today. Thanks to d little sleep he had gotten during d day, he wasn’t feeling dizzy. As he was going round, he saw someone that looked like Richard but dismissed it. When he passed by richard’s office & met d light on, he knew he must be in there. He opened d door without knocking & saw Richard sitting on his chair going through some books. “what are u doing here?” Tony asked clearly surprised. “exactly what u are doing here”, Richard replied & said, “I need to check on d patient in ward C. I was just coming from there & would be going there in d next one hour to ensure that he is still stable” Tony stared at Richard for some minutes, sighed & sat down. “You are putting urself into too much stress Rich,why are u doing this to urself?” he asked “I am not doing anything Tony” Tony stood up & walked up to Richard; “u need to stop blaming urself for what happened to Tonia. Look at urself, u look drawn &stressed out. u need to sleep” he said sympathetically. Richard hated sympathy so he flared up, “I don’t need to sleep. I actually need to remain awake cos closing my eyes would only compound my problem, & pls, stop fussing around me, I am not a kid. I can take care of myself” Tony sighed & made to leave. “Tony” Richard called. Tony looked back at Richard. “I am sorry, I am just tensed up” Tony nodded & just as he made to leave again, his phone rang & he looked at d caller. “Prisca?” he said looking surprised. He looked at d wall clock & noticed that it was almost 12am. He sat down back & picked the phone. “Sweetheart?” he called “Tony, I am sorry to disturb you” prisca said. He sensed something odd in her voice and asked, “Are you ok?” Prisca explained everything including the fact that Belina would be forced out of the country by dawn if they did not do something about it. Tony listened attentively and when she was through, he said, “Can you sneak out of the house without being seen?” She replied in affirmative and he said, “ok, I would be there in fifteen minutes max. I would call you when I get to your street. Please honey stay inside your compound and not outside, I would pick you up and we would go to her house. We would discuss how we are going to get her out on the way”. “Thanks darling, I am sorry for the inconvenience”,Prisca replied greatly relieved. Tony dropped the call and Richard started his own round of questioning. Tony explained everything to him and Richard insisted on following him. After convincing him that his would be more useful in the hospital, he set out.

@Konphido shhhhhh ... I'm writing list of noise makers @Khola46 when did we do d coronation? Dat was a narrow escape by Belina.... I love d way Richy is gonna meet Belina

Wow! Wat a narrow escape..... Thumps up girl. Interestin

EPISODE 8 As I ran out of the house, I noticed that the place was an uncompleted building. I looked around and the only thing that I saw was bushes. I saw a small footpath and started following walking very fast. I had always been extremely afraid of the dark and within seconds, I started contemplating going back. The leaves caught in my hair and my feet hurt because of the several stones I had dashed my bare feet on. I was totally afraid, I heard different types of sounds but the most frustrating this was that I had no idea where I was. I thought of the possibility that there might be snakes and other dangerous animals in the bush and fear gripped my heart. I looked around again and saw the bushes and my heart beat skyrocketed several degrees and I soon found myself running. I heard footsteps like I was being pursued but later discovered that I was only imagining it. I didn’t even think about stopping and even the moon seemed to darken. Just when I thought the footpath led to the end of the world, I saw a road ahead of me. I sighed aloud and ran faster until I got there. I stood there trying to see if I had ever been there in order to find a way out but I came up with nothing. The road was desolate and I started wondering if any vehicle had ever passed it. I started walking upwards but my feet hurt so much that I feared they would be bleeding and that made my movements slow. I remembered that I was with my bag and I opened it hoping to God that my phone was still there. I zipped it and lo, it was there. I switched it on and noticed that the time was past twelve and immediately, a message entered. When I opened it, I noticed that it was from Prisca. She was asking me why my phone was switched off. I was suddenly grateful that I had a best friend like Prisca. I was about to call her when I remembered that I had no idea what area I was. I intensified my efforts and I got to a T junction. Thanks to the efficient work of Fashola, I saw the street name which read, ‘Boruwa lane’. I instantly dialed her number and all I heard was, “the number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later, thank you”. I almost broke the phone on the floor as tears of anger and sadness flowed down my eyes. *************** ********************* Kelvin got home really late from the concert and he had a splitting headache. The headache started immediately he set his eyes on Belina and it accelerated when she was called to the altar to sing. He hadn’t seen her for close to two years now and he had wished that he would not but fate always had its way. He entered his house and collapsed on the bed. He lived in a one bedroom apartment, although a big one. He was a bachelor so his room was not so decorated. His eyes were swimming with tears but he held it back. His mind went back to the time he met Belina and even though he was not happy, a smile formed on his face. She had been sitting down on the field in UNILAG reading a book when all of a sudden, a guy walked up to her. He had been watching her for more than ten minutes when that big headed goat approached her. From her facial expression, he knew that she didn’t appreciate his visit and instantly headed toward her. He got there and wanted to beat the life out of that guy but kept his calm. The expression on her face when she had looked at him that day made him really feel handsome. People had told him he was good looking but he hadn’t believed it until Belina looked at him. He stood up from the chair and moved to the fridge to pick out a bottle of cold beer. He had been friends with Belina for more than a year and after that, he had asked her out and after a little persuasion, she had accepted and then, just a week after her mother’s death, precisely six months into the relationship, he had blown them apart with his stupidity. He started drinking immediately he left her cos he became very unhappy &miserable. It was then he realized that she was his source of happiness. ** Richard was worried about Tony & Prisca being outside so late but there was nothing he could do about it thought he knew that Tony could take care of himself & his baby girl. He headed towards Ward C even though it wasn’t 1am yet, not even 12:30 but he went there all the same. He entered Deji’s room and just stood there, staring at him. After some minutes, he went over to check on him. He cross-checked his heart beat, the drip bag, the temperature and other things looking for any anomaly but found none. He headed back to his office but stopped at the door when he heard some sounds. He rushed back to Deji’s bed as he noticed that he was moving restlessly. Richard prayed in his heart and tried to calm him down and just like a miracle; Deji calmed down and opened his eyes. ** Sparrow woke up to a full bladder and he stood up, went outside and released the urine. He came back inside and just as he was about lying down, he noticed something was missing.

EPISODE 9 He looked round d small room & just when he felt everything was intact, he looked at d place d girl was lying, saw nothing & his eyes widened. He went to spanner who was still snoring &kicked him so hard that he woke up in an instant. “Wetin be ur problem now?” spanner asked “Where is d girl?” “Which girl?” Sparrow hissed, “Which kind foolish question be dat? Wey d girl wey we bring come here?” Spanner looked round & exclaimed, “chai, our own don finish. I no no where she dey o”. Without saying anything, they both set out to look for Belina. *** As tony & prisca made for Belina’s place, they noticed that d road was empty & so they made were not scared of encountering any traffic. Prisca was worried that something was wrong so tony held her hand using one hand to control d steering. “Don’t worry honey; I am sure she is ok. Uhhh, why don’t u call her, she might have switched on d phone” tony said. Prisca nodded & took her phone only to find it off. “oh, d battery is flat, give me urs” she said. Tony gave her his phone & she dialed Belina’s number which she knew off head and it rang. She almost danced for joy when it rang & she heard, “hello…” *** Mr Badmus was trying hard to find sleep but he could not. He was just too happy to sleep. He stood up again to check if he had packed all he needed for d journey & discovered that he had packed everything. He had resigned from his job as a cashier during d day even though he had been on leave & was not due to return until d following week. He went back to bed & sighed happily. His plan had worked & he just could not contain his happiness. He thought about Belina &smiled devlishly. That stubborn bastard thought that she would not be useful for anything, well I have proved to her that I always have my way whenever I want to; he thought. He rolled on the bed and started thinking about life in London. It had been a while he travelled out & he wanted to ensure that he did not come back an average man. ‘I would be stinkingly rich again’, he said audibly b4 dozing off I walked down d lane crying. My life just seemed to be going bad by d day. I felt like dying & all of a sudden, my phone went alive & I picked up almost immediately. “Hello Prisca, oh prisca… thank God u called” I said still crying. “What is d matter Belina? I had been calling like forever, are u ok?” she asked. “No, u only need to see me but I need ur help now, I would tell u everything later” “I knew u were not ok, we are already on our way to ur house now, tony & I” “No, no, don’t go there o, I am not there. I am at boruwa lane. I don’t know d area but that is where I am, on d road” “What are u doing there &where the hell is that?” she asked then paused to ask Tony b4 she said, “Tony knows d place, stay where u are baby, we are coming” The breeze turned cold & I looked at d sky & I noticed that it was about to rain. My tears started coming more frequently & I tried to subside it. I noticed that d bushes were moving & I thought it was due to d breeze. I moved slowly so that I would be easy to locate. I heard something that resembles footsteps & I stood completely still but I almost passed out when I heard two people’s voices coming closer. I scanned d area quickly & saw a place where d bush was thicker & ran there silently. I entered d bush without thinking about d snakes & scorpions I might find there. I saw two guys & I identified them to be d guys who abducted me; they were obviously searching for me. I stood completely still even my breath seemed to cease. They started scanning d area &when one of them looked in my direction, I expected him to see me instantly & just pick me out of d bush but instead, he looked away. I breathed out but stood still for fear of giving myself away. “Ei, I don die”, one of them said,placing his hands on his head. “Ahhh, see gbege. Which kind sleep we sleep so, ehn? Wetin we go tell oga Tolu now?” d other said I scanned my head to see if I knew any Tolu but I didn’t. “Oga Tolu palava no worse reach Oga Tunji own, him go kill us”,d first said. “na u cause am o spanner, why u sleep after I tell u say make u watch d girl”. The other whose name I now knew was spanner said, “u no well. Make I dey watch person when u dey sleep abi? Na me no sabi sleep?” Spanner saw something & stopped. “Sparrow….” He called & pointed a place to him. They both looked there & I found myself looking in that direction too. I saw a light that looked very much like a headlight. My immediate thought went to Tony & Prisca & I started thinking of how I would get out my phone without catching d attention of d two guys. I looked at d two guys ¬iced that they were moving backwards trying to hide themselves. I brought out my phone & dialed Prisca. She picked almost immediately & I spoke quietly.

EPISODE 10 Pric, where are u” I asked. “I was just about to call, we are at Boruwa lane now but we can’t find u” “I can see ur head lamp so just come forward. The guys are after me & they are few steps away from me. I would start running towards u guys, so pls, open d door so that I can get in immediately u reach me” I said. “ok”, she said & hung up. I saw d vehicle coming ahead of me so I said a little prayer &came out of d bush. I started running towards d car, waving at them so that they would recognize me. I noticed that d footsteps I heard were not mine only so I looked back, lo & behold, they were at my heels. I ran with all my might & when I got to d car, it slowed down; d door was already open so I jumped in &d car zoomed off almost running over one of d two. *** Richard smiled from d bottom of his heart 4 d first time in a long while. He looked at Deji who looked confused with a comforting smile. He looked weak & was fighting sleep as he continually opened his eyes. Richard encouraged him to sleep & he later gave in. Richard stood there for more than 10mins just staring at him & later went back to his office. He got to his office & knelt down beside his table &started thanking God. He had been praying 4d past 2days & God had just answered his prayers. *** As I entered d car, I collapsed on d back seat for some minutes, my eyes closed without uttering a word. I opened my eyes & saw Prisca staring at me. I later opened my mouth & said, “Thanks a lot; I would probably be out of this country by dawn if u guys hadn’t come for me” “What happened Lina? How did u get there?” Prisca asked. “Calm down darling, let her rest,she has been through a lot”, Tony said I smiled faintly & simply said, “I would tell u all about it later but what I know is that they were sent by Tunji & I would wager that my dad has a hand in it too” “What? How can a father do that? No, I don’t think he has a hand in it”, Tony said. I laughed slightly, “Well, u don’t know my father” Prisca placed her hand on my leg comfortingly as I lay on d chair & there was no other discussion until we got to Prisca’s place. I was so weak & I wondered if I would be able to stand not to mention walk with my sore feet, but I did. I walked slowly to d gate & waited for Prisca who was busy talking with Tony. Prisca walked up to me some minutes after & I thanked Tony again b4 he sped off. I had a warm bath in her bathroom. She also did d same thing & after I had worn a night gown which actually belongs to her, I climbed d bed. All d questions she tried to ask me fell on deaf ears as sleep overtook me. *** Sparrow & spanner had been sitting on d road for more than 15mins & they finally decided to stand up. They just could not believe that Belina had been right beside them & they had not seen her. They headed back to their base thinking of d best way to present d case to Tolu &Tunji. *** Tunji stirred in his sleep as d 6:00 alarm started ringing, he reached for his phone & turn it off. He was usually a late sleeper & most times, he woke up 8 o’clock or 9 o’clock. He had set d alarm yesterday when he was about to sleep because of d level of importance today possed. His phone started ringing shortly after & he ignored it at first, when it rang again, he picked up d phone to check who it was & it was his father. He stared at d phone then finally pressed d green botton. “Morning dad”, he said. “Morning Tunji, how are u? “I am sleepy”, Tunji said grumpily. “Hmm, I need to see u son,we need to talk” “I am busy dad,ou cant see me till next month. I am travelling out today”, Tunji said. “What? Where are u going? “it is none of ur business dad, I am not a kid anymore” “what does that mean? I am beginning to suspect ur movements, if u get into trouble, don’t come to me o” “Don’t worry, I can take care of myself”, he said and dropped the phone. Tunji hissed & stood up from d bed. He realized how good a decision it was to move out of his father’s mansion. He had extorted enough money to last him a long while & he had been given one of his father’s companies to manage so money was not d problem. He had appointed someone to run d company cos he didn’t want to waste time in d company when he could be out having fun. He hadn’t been free in his father’s mansion; his mother never monitored what he did but whenever his father was not in one meeting or d other, he had to behave. He had various girl friends & whores but they all looked expired to him immediately he set his eyes on Belina. He stood up & went to d bathroom to take a shower. He had booked a morning flight so he showered, dressed &stepped out of his room. He got to d sitting room & noticed that he did not put off d TV yesternight. He put it off &went off to pick his soon-to-be bride.

EPISODE 11 I woke up few minutes to 7 & I was glad that I was not feeling much pain. I knelt down by d bed & thanked God so much for everything he did for me. After d lengthy prayer, I went to d bathroom to take my bath. Thank God that I had struggled to wash my gown yesterday despite my aching body cos I didn’t like putting on other people’s clothes no matter d closeness. I had worn Prisca’s nightie yesterday but that was different. As I showered, I noticed that my feet were still sore but I paid them no heed. I came out of d bathroom & put on my blue gown,thanks to d light material it was, it was already dry. I took my bag & started going through its contents,I was surprised when I saw d envelope that I was given in d concert first. I opened it & when I counted d money, it summed up to 20, 000 Naira. I was happy that at least, I would have money for some clothes. I can’t resume work on Monday with my gown, I thought with a smile. I searched d bag & met everything intact, including my purse, ATM card etc. Prisca came in & was surprised to find me awake. “woow, I thought u would still be asleep, I would if I had gone through what u did”, she said with a smile. I smiled & leaned on d bed dramatically, “I could go back to sleep if u want, I don’t mind being pampered”, I said feigning tiredness although I felt a little bit weak. She laughed, “who would pamper u? Abeg stand up joor,lets go & eat” “What of mumcy?” I asked “Dad & mum are both waiting 4u at the dining. I explained everything to them & if I hadn’t insisted otherwise, mum would be here now, although, they were not happy that I sneaked out of d house”, she said winking at me. I smiled & got up from d bed,held her by d waist & playfully pushed her towards d door, “well, lets go then, I could eat an elephant” *** Tunji arrived at Boruwa lane & looked around happily making sure that he was not being followed. He got to d footpath & stopped his car. He locked his car & went through d footpath on foot. When he was about getting to d building, he looked back to be totally sure he was not being followed b4 he entered the building. When he entered d building, it was totally quiet & he thought they might be upstairs since it was a one story building. After checking all d rooms downstairs, he climbed d stairs & upon arrival, he still did not see anyone. He was not finding it funny so he took out his phone & called Tolu. “Oga mi, good morning, I am already on my way to-“Tolu started saying. “shut up now”, he ordered, “I am at d location now & I cant find anyone. Are u playing games with me?” he said yelling. Tolu was taken aback, “NO… I dare not…. Pls let me call d guys maybe they had to change location for some reasons” “hurry up, I am losing my patience”, he said & hung up. *** Richard was surprised to find out that he had actually fallen asleep yesterday. He had gone back to Deji’s room & found him sleeping soundly & d sleep seemed to be contagious that he went back to his office & slept like a baby. His office was a very big one which included a toilet & bathroom so he went in, had his bath & wore another cloth which he had brought from home. He wore his suit & made for Tony’s office to give him d goodnews & find out d outcome of his outing yesterday. As he was going he saw Adewale coming towards him &was happy. “Good morning doctor Richard” “Good morning Adewale, it is good to see u looking fresh” Richard said stretching forth his hand for a handshake. “Deji’s parents just left this place so I decided to see u to know how he is faring” Richard smiled at Adewale &said, “u can relax now, he is out of coma” Adewale jumped on Richard & he almost fell down. “I am sorry” he said leaving d doctor alone. “thank Yo Lord” he said &faced Richard, “Thank u doc, i… I am so greatful”. Richard laughed, “Thank God not me, I only did my job, God heals” “I would go & inform d parents”, he said & rushd out of d hospital. Richard smiled & went into Tony’s office. *** Tunji walked from one end of d building to d other, matching furiously. Just when everything seemed to be working, those idiots had blundered it. He looked at the time, it was almost time for his flight to take off & he was still here waiting 4d fools that that Tolu of a boy sent to get Belina. He left the building cos bushy area was beginning to scare him so he headed towards his car. He met Tolu, Spanner &Sparrow coming midway coming towards him & his anger multiplied when he did not see Belina with them. He charged forward &tried to calm his nerves cos those guys may be dangerous & it would be one against three. "Where is Belina", he asked through clenched teeth. Spanner opened his mouth, "i...she... ehm...", he stopped as Tunji moved towards him, sizing him up like he was an ant. He was short so he had to look up to Tunji but that was a mistake cos as soon as he looked up, Tunji sent him crashing into a nearby bush.

EPISODE 12 Tunji moved to Sparrow &asked him d same question, "Where is Belina" Sparrow looked very strong &rugged so Tunji knew that he had to be careful with him no matter d answer. "Oga, we do wetin we ask u to do o, but that girl be winch, we no even know as she leave our front & d next thing we see be say, we dey pursue her & b4 we open our eyes, close am, she don enter motor", he said & then pointed at his leg, "see, see my leg... d motor almost killed me" . Tunji wished he had a gun to shoot him dead instantly, but instead, he faced Tolu. "What is d meaning of this now? what kind of rubbish is this? i should be at d airport now, ehn..." "i am sorry, Tunji, i didn't know that these idiots would spoil things this way", Tolu said Tunji glared at him. i want to see Belina today, did u hear me? Today. If u don't have belina with u, make sure u have my money" he said & pushed Sparrow into d bush as he made for his car. *** Mr Badmus got to d airport much earlier than he ought to & he sat down in his car waiting for Tunji. he put on d radio in his car & 4d first time in a long while, he danced to d music which was being played in d radio. After he had waited for one hour & hadn't seen Tunji & Belina, he called Tunji's line. He did not pick d first time so he called d 2nd time, already getting worried. Tunji picked d phone "Hello, Tunji. I have been at d airport for over an hour now & i have not seen u, what is up?" . "Oh pls, spare me all that. That miserable daughter of urs is nowhere to be found", he replied. Shocked, he screamed, "WHAT?" "Pls, don't deceive me, are u telling me that u know nothing about this", Tunji asked shouting angrily. "Ahn, Tunji..." "Don't ahn tunji me. if u don't produce ur daughter today, be ready to return all d money i have been giving u since this matter started. I have been recording it & I have given u nothing less than 180, 000 Naira. Don't joke with me o, failure to produce any of d two, i would get u arrested. U should know, without me telling u that i mean what i just said & i have enough power to back me up", Tunji said and hung up. *** I entered d dining room along side prisca & immediately Mrs Jegas, Prisca's mother, saw me,she jumped from her seat & came to hold me tenderly. She had been almost like a second mother to me ever since she knew me as her daughter's friend. Her husband was also in d same vein although he covered his own; men's characteristics. She was also so emotional so i was not surprised when i saw her face swimming with tears. The little display of affection made me feel sick cos it made me remember what it had been like with my mother. My mother was not one who was perfect, infact, she was one of the most imperfect people on earth but i loved her all d same. I quickly cleared some air by saying, "mum, it is not a big deal... or maybe it is but i am fine" "No u look tired baby, come & sit down", she said &moved me to a seat & quickly stuffed my plate with food. Mr Jegas, prisca's father who could not hide his anger later said as we ate, "How can a man do this to his own daughter? He must be dealt with" He looked at me & said, "u can stay here for as long as u want & anything u need, u can count on us". I muttered my sincere appreciation & went to hug them lovingly. I sat down on my sit & i looked at Prisca who was smiling at me Mr. Badmus drove like a mad man back to his house & two times, almost collided with two vehicles because of his mental distraction. He got home &sluggishly dragged himself into d house but once he got inside d sitting room, he sat down on d floor with his back against d door & put his hands on his head. “Ah… I am finished”, he yelled, “Belina has killed me… she has finished finished me, she ruined all my plans, &… & where… ah, where would I get d one 180,000 from today, ehn?” He remembered how Belina’s mother, Linda, with d circumstances surrounding d time & cursed that day with all his might. Since she came into his life, everything had gone from good to bad & from bad to worse & now that he had a chance to re-write his destiny,that witch has snatched that chance away from him giving him more problem than he ever bargained for. He had been 28yrs old when he met Linda. He didn’t know d love of a mother cos she was always on business trips not giving a damn about whatever happened to him but as busy as his father was he still had time for him. He had been on a journey with his father one day when he was 25 when they got involved in an accident. The accident did not claim his life but it claimed his father’s life. When he became 28, he went to d doctor cos he had slept with several girls without protection & did not record any of them coming to him with d ‘I am pregnant’ story. a test had been carried out which brought his worst nightmare to light. The doctor had looked him straight in d face & said, “…I am sorry, u can never be able to impregnate a woman”.

Dis is serious

EPISODE 13 He had been like a fallen tree for months. The friends he had told, instead of pacifying & consoling him had mocked him & helped him spread d news. He had been stinkingly rich then so one day when he was checking out of a hotel that was popularly known in d island to be a ‘hotel for d rich’ after a business trip, he saw a very very beautiful young lady crying on d staircase. He was instantly drawn to her, so he approached her & asked her what d matter was. She said, “I came to see a man here but he threw me out”. He was taken aback wondering how a reasonable man could throw this striking lady out without a second thought. After much persuasion, she opened up & said, “I met him like a month ago & he promised to take care of me but now I am pregnant & he is denying it, saying he has a wife that he loves, he did not tell me that b4 o. He took her to his house. He had d servants prepare her a warm bath & after her bath, she had slept like a newly born baby. She actually looked like one. When she woke up d next morning he had called her, told her his problem & promised to take care of her & d child if she allows d child to bear his surname. She had agreed instantly & he also made her promise never to disclose that secret to their child. They had lived in luxury for 5yrs &he noticed d time that Linda started falling in love with him. He was taken by her beauty but he just was not in love with her. Belina grew to be a carbon copy of her mother & much more beautiful that she looked like a doll most of d time. This made Mr Badmus exceedingly angry because he could boast about being her father in public but in his heart, d truth that he could never have a child however ugly,made him despise Belina. Things became bad after 5yrs & he took it out big time on Linda blaming her for misfortunes & he would have transferred it also on Belina if Linda hadn’t been protecting her all d way Mr. Badmus wanted to just die as he looked at how far he had depreciated. He wished he had abandoned Linda on d step that day. He looked around at all he was worth in d sitting room & said to himself, “if it is d last thing I do, I would make sure that Belina pays for this”.. *** Tolu took out d 150, 000 Naira he had collected from Tunji for d job & put it in his cross bag. When he was about to step out of his house, he thought about it again & removed 50.000 from d money & dropped it. Tunji would have to accept d money like that, at least d job was carried out only that those idiotic boys blundered it. He took something else & put it in his pocket. If he won’t accept it, I would make him accept it by force. He got to Tunji’s house & upon arrival, he met Tunji in his sitting room about to finish a bottle of whiskey. Tunji looked at him immediately he entered & his eyes sent bullets right through his heart. Tolu was never intimidated by anyone so he marched right towards him,brought out d 100, 000 Naira & placed it right there on d bar. “That is 100, 000 Naira. I removed 50, 000 cos d job was carried out only that d girl ran away”. Tunji lifted d cup of whiskey to his lips but instead of him to drink it, in a flash, he poured it in Tolu’s face. “Jesus…” Tolu said, startled. Tunji laughed slightly & d next second, his face was blank like he hadn’t been laughing merely seconds ago. “u better complete my money, right here &now, if not, uhn, u would see”. Very slowly like in all these action movies, Tolu brought out his gun at placed it right on Tunji’s forehead. Tunji turned to a stone with seconds & he started shivering like he had fallen into d type of ice water that was showed in Titanic. Tolu laughed heartily, “so,u no even get liver. Give me one reason why I should not blow ur head off”, he said. Tunji kept on saying pls but he had stepped on Tolu’s toes. “u have never been slapped by a woman & u wanted her to pay for it, so also no one had dared pour a cup of water on my face not to mention a drink. Well, when I blow off ur head, I would be able to take d whole money. Say hello to d devil for me”, he said & pulled d trigger. **** As d day went by, I almost forgot completely about d event of the previous day. Prisca made everything very enjoyable & my newly found parents made me feel like a little girl again. They were very comfortable. Not exceedingly rich but they could easily buy whatever they wanted without thinking twice. They took me out & got me new sets of clothes, shoes bags & everything they felt was customary. Anyone that did not know them would think I was their daughter. Being a weekend, everyone was at home. Mum almost overfed me & I commented on it but she would not have any excuses. She said I was still weak no matter what I said & that I should just eat & sleep. Although I was not so used to being fussed over, I enjoyed it & I made myself feel like a baby for d first time in my life.

EPISODE 14 I strolled out with Prisca in d evening. Though Prisca’s parents pamper a lot, they were also disciplinarians& did not even condone laziness. That is d reason why they did not employ any house help. I walked beside Prisca & I noticed that she had been silent for most of d evening. “What’s up Prisca?” I asked. She sighed, “u don’t know how happy I am to have u here with me. It had been really tough living alone with my parents without any young person to chat with. Sometimes I feel older than I actually am” I laughed heartily, “cmon now,ur parents are not old, I am very sure they both still turn heads”, I said winking honestly. “so,u know about the turning of heads abi? Who taught u” she asked mischievously. “Abeg leave me joor, u have started”, I said trying to avoid d place I knew she was headed “u should join d convent baby girl, only that u are not a saint” she said. I stopped & placed my hands on my hips feigning anger. “u this girl don’t have respect again o, am I d one u are talking to” I asked looking upset & Prisca laughed. She was actually older than me with 3months & some days. Prisca stood in front of me &used her eyes to trace my body like she was a guy & I instantly became uncomfortable. She laughed heartily &had to hold her sides trying to still d laughter. I hissed, “so u have not thrown away ur acting skills abi?” I asked. It had been a long time since she did that & she always did that to drive in her point. “You see? u are not immune to guys & what I just did confirm it”. She came over & placed her hand on my shoulder. “Give urself d chance to love someone &u would be as happy as I am with Tony”. I remembered what I saw yesterday & blushed. She laughed again for a long time & I finally smiled uncomfortably. She did not stop laughing so I gave her a tender blow on her arm & she ran off laughing. There was just something about being with Prisca, she could make u remember ur time as a child with so much ease that u want to behave like a child. I was enjoying myself 4d first time in a very long time.. *** Tony was exceedingly happy when Richard told him about Deji’s stability. It had been a long time since a casualty had been recorded in their hospital & he had prayed that it remain that way although his prayer had doubled when he saw d way Richard was taking it. He knew that if d outcome had been otherwise, Richard would be adversely affected even if he did not tell anyone cos he had this arrogant exterior that never wanted anyone to see his pain. He had known Richard right from his secondary school days & they had been inseparable friends although they got separated a bit when they went to d higher institution, fate brought them back to each other. Richard who was a complete Nigerian looked more foreign & was often mistaken for a half cast cos of his wavy hair & non-Nigerian voice. He was given birth to in America but when his parents got divorced 7yrs after he was born, his father had taken custody of him while his mother took the other two girls. He entered Deji’s room & found him awake looking confused. “Hello, how are u feeling?” he asked smiling at Deji. Deji looked at him more confused, “I don’t know who u are” “it is alright, I am ur doctor” “u don’t understand, I… I don’t know anything. The only thing I remember is being hit by a big bus. Where was I going…Who am i?” Deji lamented. Tony felt distraught but did not let it show on his face(one of d virtues a doctor should possess)so he just said still smiling, “u just need to rest a little bit & I am sure u would remember it all in a short while. It is perfectly normal at this stage”. When it became obvious that Deji would not be able to relax cos of his confusion, Tony sedated him & went in search of Richard. *** Mr. Badmus had called his friends seeking for financial help but none of them wanted to help him. He could not go to his bank to seek for a loan either so he decided to wait at home keeping a low profile & hoping that Tunji would not come. The entire money he had was 50k & he took it home incase Tunji showed, he would not be empty handed. He switched on d Tv desperately trying to calm his nerves & what he saw chilled him to d bones. “HEADLINES: The son of d Deputy Governor, Olatunji James, murdered. Mr. Badmus seemed to receive d news with mixed feelings. He still could not place d fact that someone he had seen d previous day & spoken to merely hours ago is dead. He suddenly became scared of his environment & he looked around to be sure he was alone. He stared at the Tv again and asked no one in particular, “who could have done this?” he thought about belina but knew that no matter how stubborn she is, she could never attempt something like that. Though he was distraught about the fact that his only source of making wealth had been cut off completely, he still had a cause to smile.

Happy sunday everyone

@babe4biola hahahha vry funi is dat wat he told u,okay ask him where we went to last wkend @pizzaro u didn't tel her?

EPISODE 15 I stared at d TV in shock as d newscaster relayed d story of a murder. I sat shivering in my seat,not really hearing what was being said. Prisca’s parents initially did not know who was being referred to & they just reacted to d news d way every normal person would. Prisca who was by my side on d two seater couch hugged me tenderly & when her parents looked at us, they remembered where they had heard that name & Prisca’s dad became angry. “So this is d bastard that have been making ur life miserable?” he asked & stared at Tunji’s picture again on d tv “He damn right deserves what he got so don’t u dare cry if u love urself” he said glaring at me. I didn’t intend on crying &even if I did, tears seemed to desert my eyes. I should be happy that I would finally have a little bit of peace but I just could not smile. I pitied Tunji &wished he hadn’t ended his life like that. I had a strong convinction that if my dad had not made him believe that he could have me, he would not have pursued me this long. I remembered that it had been only 2days ago when I saw him & he looked so full of life. The might & ability of God now amazed me tremendously as he could wipe out anything &anyone with a second. Prisca’s mother scolded her husband for being too harsh on me & even though he wished that Tunji would get a special department in hell, his eyes said he wished he could kill him himself. *** Richard sat in his office not looking very happy. Tony had told him about Deji’s memory loss & how he only remembered d traumatic accident & his heart reached out to him. He knew that that state was far better than death & even though Deji had lost his memory, he still gave thanks to God. He promised himself to do all that he can to see that Deji recovers his memory. Deji’s parents including Adewale &some friends came to d hospital & Richard had explained the situation to them. He noticed that they were not thappy with his loss of memory but were glad all the same thanking him for his help. Although Deji should be around 24 to 25 years by his scrutiny, his parents fussed over him like a newly born baby while he just looked at them confused. He went into the bathroom to wash his hands and when he saw his reflection in the toilet mirror, he noticed that he looked drawn and stressed so made a mental note to have a vacation sometime soon. He left his office and went into Deji’s room to check on him and saw his parents with him. Deji looked at him upon arrival and smiled at him. After greeting the parents, he looked at Deji, smiled back and asked, “How is the good patient doing today?” “I am feeling much better Doctor Richard” Deji said still smiling. “You can call me Richard”, Richard said feeling a little bit awkward having a young guy like him call him so formally. He wouldn’t have felt awkward if he had not taken Deji’s case personal. Deji smiled the more and asked, “When would I recover my memory doctor? I feel awkward when I see people I don’t remember treat me with so much familiarity”. Richard nodded sympathetically and said, “Very soon. A psychologist would be here to check on you on Monday and I think in a very short while, you would recall even the day you were born”. Deji laughed at the joke and asked another thing, “Can I at least stand up and walk about a bit? I feel like I have been lying on this bed since the day I was born”. Richard laughed slightly was about to talk when Deji’s mother said, “no, u are not standing up from this bed yet o, ma koba mi iwo omo yi”, she said aggressively. “He can stand up and have d nurses push him around in a wheel chair for a few minutes”, Richard said softly even though Deji’s mother did not buy d idea. After convincing her that it is a good idea, he left & on d way, told nurse Titi to carry out d assignment Tony had taken & evening off to rest at home and prepare for service the next day & Richard also felt he should do d same thing. He was glad that Tony had convinced d Human Resource Department to employ Belina even though he knew she could have been easily employed without his interference, she is exceedingly brilliant. Even though he still haven’t seen her he had seen her credentials and test papers have acknowledged that she must be a genius. He knew that she was going through a tough time by what Tony told him the other day and he was glad that she would be working there. He sat down in his office anticipating her arrival on Monday & how it would help Deji’s memory. *** Sunday passed without any unusual event only that I did not attend my church and I had to attend prisca’s church. The church was a very big church and the service was so enjoyable but I was not used to being a bench warmer. Prisca is a part of the dancers in the church so she did not seat with us. I forgot totally about Tunji and my past intentionally pushing it behind it knowing fully well that when you dwells on his past and problems you remain stagnant

EPISODE 16 Monday came and b4 I knew it, I was dressing up for work. I had anticipated this day & I found myself waking up many times in d night to check d time. As I dressed up, I stared at Prisca as she dressed up for work. She had studied Accountancy & was now working as a cashier in GTB. I had complained about d strain of d job but she barely felt it cos she loved d job so much, one would think counting money is her hobby. I took out d white skirt suit that mum had purchased notwithstandingd cost. When I finish dressing up,Prisca stood open mouthed as she gazed at me. I knew I looked good even without looking at d mirror but I didn’t think it warranted such drama. “Belina”, she gasped. “What?” I asked alarmed. She dragged me to d front of d standing mirror & it was my turn to open my mouth. I stared at my reflection in d mirror unbelievably. I looked so woow. As I looked at myself,tears formed in my eyes & I forced it back immediately; tears just seem to come frequently these days, I thought. The suit fitted my body like a second skin,d skirt was just on my knees. I moved away from the mirror & I saw Prisca holding out a pair of purple & white shoe. She looked at me & said emphatically, “this is my shoe &u must wear it today. I have not worn it once & I might as well give it to u”. I looked at d shoe & noted that it would be perfect on d dress so I took it without thinking twice & when I wore it, I had to agree that I looked excellent. “Oh baby, pls be careful with Tony there o,cos I am sure that all d guys there would be falling on eachother just to have a glimpse of u” she had said looking very serious. I laughed & told her she was exaggerating but she said she wasn’t. we both knew that Tony is madly in love with her so she didn’t mind my appearance at all. Her branch was just a bike away from d house so we both left our room around 6:35am &went to d kitchen in order to have a little breakfast. We met mum in d kitchen she inspected both of us with her eyes & she looked at me in awe. “u are so beautiful in this suit,thank God I bought it”, I went to hug her affectionately uttering words of appreciation. After that,we ate in a hurry & set out. **** The hospital was bubbling with life & this Monday was definitely a good one. Tony sat up in his office chair as he arranged all d files on his table. His secretary had done a good job though but he always took it as a point of duty to crosscheck & rearranged them again. His phone went alive & he picked immediately. “Rich, wats up? “Hey Tony, pale just call me now o, he wants me to come over” “hope there is no problem with p man o” “I hope not, anyways, I just wanted u to make sure that d new psychologist, eeehm, Miss Belina, attends to Deji today”, he said. “oh, ok, no prob, say hello to dad for me” Tony said &hung up & almost immediately, his intercom rang & when he picked it, his secretary informed him that Belina was waiting to see him. ‘Just in time’ Tony thought &told his secretary to let her in. He checked out some files &when he heard a knock, he said, ‘come in’ as he pasted a friendly smile on his face. Immediately she stepped in, his smile froze & disappeared altogether as his eyes devoured her not able to believe she was d same person he had rescued 2days ago. ** I sighed inwardly obviously tired of receiving d numerous stares but instead of d problem to reduce, it seemed to be getting worse. I had sailed into d hospital premises & had been extremely amazed when I saw d massive building. The stares I received from people almost made me trip so many times & I had to gather enough courage to walk past them without jittering. I walked glamorously into d hospital. After introducing myself at d reception, I had been directed to Tony’s office & I was glad that I would finally be seeing a familiar face, but when I received d same ‘check her out’ stare from him again, I shuddered. I remembered d words of Prisca. Tony was brought back from his reverie & he was ashamed of himself cos I saw d flush in his face. “I… I am sorry, it is just that u…u look very different from what I saw on ehm Friday, no Saturday. u were very beautiful despite d condition but u look mind blowing & my mind was blown away when u entered”, he explained then pointed at a seat opposite him. I smiled & switched on my professional look as my face seemed to do no other thing other than smile “You don’t have to worry, Tony, I trust u & know u won’t dare forsake my pretty friend”, I said but it was more of a question cos he laughed out & did the ‘I cross my heart’ thing. I didn’t have to ask cos I had known Tony & knew beyond doubt that he loves Prisca deeply; he just seemed to be born a flirt “u would be safe with me but I cannot say d same for others”, he said winking at me & I blushed slightly. The discussion was already moving to d area I did not fancy so I just said, “I think I can handle them”.

EPISODE 17 He smiled & became professional within d twinkle of an eye. He handed over d employment letter since I hadn’t taken it yet, “My secretary would show u to ur office in d next floor. This floor is strictly for physical treatments &d next floor is for physical therapies,counseling & psychological aids. You would be incharge of d psychological aids department & u would be visiting d therapy department every Wednesday to have sessions with d depressed patients. U are to attend to one patient at a time & u are also to maintain a strictly professional affair with ur patients. U would only work Mondays to Friday & u are to resume work by 8 am & close 5pm. U have a personal secretary to urself & also have a large working area to aid ur work. Your salary is already written in ur employment letter, I can’t tell u ‘cos I don’t know what is there. All these things & others I have not mentioned are in ur staff brochure which is already in ur office.” He said finally pausing. I smiled & voiced my appreciation but as I was about to stand up, he stopped me. “wait, I know u have just arrived but u already have one patient. My secretary would give u his file which explains his case & d time for his sessions daily”. He pressed a number in d intercom & his secretary came in in a flash. He explained everything she needed to do to her & when he was through, I stood up & he shook my hands, “Welcome to Best Results Hospital” “Thank u sir”, I said & followed d secretary. *** Tunji’s parents sat in a room that was definitely too large to be a sitting room but that was what it was. They both had facial expressions which shouldn’t naturally be seen on d faces of important state personalities that they were. The entire room was almost filled with body guards who seemed to be created with stony faces. Mr James picked up his phone to call d commissioner of police for d umpteenth time since Saturday. He picked immediately. “ur excellency sir” “how far?” he asked “sir, d investigation is still ongoing sir”, he replied with his heart in his mouth. “Listen to me carefully, I would be coming there tomorrow & if I don’t see d bastard that murdered my son, u would be in serious trouble, do u understand me? “ye… yes sir” “good”, mr james said & hung up. He stood up & started pacing angrily. His wife could still not get a hold of herself as she sobbed uncontrollably.They had informed their girls who were abroad, Tola & Tinuke, &they were on their way home. “If someone thinks he can kill my only son & go scot free with it then he must be out of his mind”. Mr. james said as he paced d length of d ridiculously long but tastely furnished room. He remembered d phone conversation he had with his son d very day he was killed & recollected him talking about traveling out. He called d commissioner immediately & told him to find out all he can from d workers in Tunji’s house. He had a strong feeling that d trip has something to do with d murder of his only son. *** Richard entered his father’s house in a hurry. His father was one of d few people he cared about d most in d world &he did not want anything to happen to him. His father had re- married after their relocation to Nigeria & despite all he heard about step mothers, she was d best person he knew. She had given birth to two girls & a boy. He saw his dad seating in d reception & he greeted him. “gud morning dad”, he said as he went to meet him. They exchanged a warm hug cos it had been a long time they saw each other & they were not just father & son, they were friends. After a few minutes of catching up btw father & son,Richard’s father said, “there is someone here that wants to see u, that’s why I called u” Curious, he asked, “who?” Instead of answering, his dad led him to d main sitting room & he stood rooted to d ground as he stared at d woman who had abandoned him many years ago, his mother. *** I entered my office & was impressed d more. Everything about d hospital was just excellent but I kept a straight exterior not expressing my amazement. Tony’s secretary had done a good job of showing me around but left my secretary with d job of showing my into my office, showing me my working environment & other things. I inspected everywhere with my eyes appreciatively as my secretary ranted on about things I already knew. After some minutes, I was alone & I looked everywhere not believing that I was actually seated in my own office. I closed my eyes several times &opened it to be sure I was not dreaming. When I was sure that everything was real, I knelt down & for close to 20mins, I just appreciated God for my life. I knew it could only be God cos everything had happened so fast that I still could not believe it was real. I stood up & opened d patient’s file with me. I scanned through it reading d case file. The patient’s name is Deji & he had just lost his memory due to a fatal car crash. His wealthy family had demanded for 2hrs everyday in order to speed up his recovery.

@belina oly His qrace can sustain anyone... @Richard mum z bak what a susprise.

Lina..its God’s grace nd love..wht ever hs been written will come to pass.. Welcome home mum.

@konphido 4 ur mind uself be boss abi

@Belina watch out becos i dey smell trouble

EPISODE 18 I brought out my diary & started writing some things. My diary is always in my bag cos I use it very frequently. Most of my things were still in my house so I didn’t bring anything much. Around 10 o’clock, I headed towards Deji’s room & I was glad to start work mmediately. I saw d patient on d bed sleeping with his parents by his side. I greeted &introduced myself as his psychologist & they had been extremely happy. Just then,d patient turned in his sleep & opened his eyes. He looked exceedingly attractive in his sleep& I could not but pity his present state internally but that was not what I ought to do as a professional so I smiled lovingly at him. I gave him a few minutes to get familiar with his environment & just as I was about to open my mouth, his mother spoke. “it is good u are awake dear,ur psychologist is here” he smiled at me like he had known me all his life. “I went to him still smiling &said, “Hello Mr. Deji, I am Miss Belina Badmus & ur new psychologist, don’t worry, in a few days, we would have fixed this little thing up there”, I said casually & he laughed slightly. He had a positive manner; I noted delightedly & knew that it would help me tremendously *** The look on richard’s face was unreadable, maybe surprise,anger,uncertainty, or even all of them; his expressions were always unreadable just as he was unpredictable. He stared at d woman b4 him & knew without a doubt that she is his biological mother. He was barely above 5 d last time he saw her but he still remembered how she made no move to bid him goodbye. She never really loved him; she always hit him even though that sort of treatment was not allowed there. She loved her daughters a lot & his father had told him of how she fought for their custody in d court. People say that u can’t remember what happened to u as a child but he remembered everything cos no matter how small u are, bad things have a way of printing its footprints on ur mind that u find it hard to forget She had aged but she still had d fascinating beauty that seemed to draw everyone to her;something that pissed him 'what are u doing here' he askd “Son, I…” she was saying. “Cut it out ma,u are not my mum ok? That is my mum’s photo over there”, he said pointing to a picture of his step mother on d wall. She looked distraught at that & she started sobbing. “pls, 4give me my son, I should not have treated u badly then, I am sorry”, she said as she advanced towards him. He stopped her b4 she got to him & said straight to her face, “u have never been my mother & u can never, EVER, be my mother”. He stormed out of d house & 4d 1st time ever,he did not stop even when his dad called him back. *** Inspector Sule marched into d house of d deceased with a renewed vigor. He had been like a mad man trying to find d murderer who had d guts to come against d Deputy Governor’s son & hadn’t gotten anywhere even though they had made useless arrests knowing fully well that d people in d cell knows next to nothing about d case. He had appointed three police men to stay permanently at Tunji’s apartment monitoring d workers & ensuring that they did not go out at all. When he got into d sitting room he gathered all d workers in d sittingroom & asked them collectively, “What do u people know about ur late boss’ traveling plans?” One of them who looked like d cook looked up & said, “oga olopa, e don tey since my oga don dey talk say him go travel go oyinbo land with hin wife?” “Wife? What wife?” d inspector asked, already liking d news. “Aah, oga bin wan marry one girl, but e be like say d girl no dey gree for am because na d papa just dey come hia everytime, I never take my eye see d girl b4”. The cook completed. Inspector Sule nodded thoughtfully & said, “so he was traveling out with his fiancee that Saturday right? Maybe d girl killed him”. The driver with more fluent English then said, “Yes sir, I wanted to drive him to d airport but he said I shouldn’t worry, so he drove himself & just about 2hrs later, he came back very angry”. “Yes, he angry well well o”, the cook interjected, others just kept quiet. “He just dey shout on top of everybody head & he bin break plenty cup o. I even hear am as him just dey shout for phone say make person bring money come give am for night”. “What? Who was he talking to?” d inspector asked. “I no no ooo” she replied. One of d most silent of d other two staffs felt uncomfortable & d eyes of d inspector tormented him until he opened his mouth & said, “sir, I am not an amebo but I also heard his phone conversation & didn’t hear any name mentioned but after d call, he started saying some things out loud & from what he said, I feel d person he was talking to was Belina’s father”. Elated, d inspector was visibly relieved & he asked d driver if he had knows the address & he replied in affirmative saying he had driven his boss there times without number. He took d address & walked out smiling victoriously.

EPISODE 19 Richard drove so fast & he had to quickly get a hold of himself. He mentally started doing his relaxation technique & he was happy when he started calming down a bit. He raced on top speed to d hospital hoping that he would get there on time & do some things that would take his mind away from d past few minutes. He couldn’t believe that his mother had d effrontery to come back after close to 22 years. To do what? Claim ownership after he had grown without contributing anything to his life? No, he thought, she must have underrated what she did. He finally got to d hospital safe & sound & he marched to his office in anger. The people in d hospital stared at him surprised; that was d first time they would see him that angry. As he got close to his office, he met Tony & knowing his friend very well, Tony knew something was wrong somewhere. He followed him into his office without a word & gave him a minute to calm down b4 he questioned him. “What’s wrong Richard? Is dad ok?” he asked becoming worried “That’s d problem. He is too ok”, Richard answered. “What do u mean by that?” Tony asked, confused “if he hadn’t been too fine, he would not have allowed my mum into d house” “What? What are u talking about?” Tony asked shocked “Exactly what I am saying, I got there after calling u worrying my freaking self that something might be wrong with dad but on getting there, I saw my own flesh & blood mum staring me in d face” Tony stared at him openmouthed not able to say anything “what did u do about it?” Tony finally asked “Nothing,& I am not going to do anything about it”, he said & relaxed on his chair. Switching on to more important things he asked,what of d psychologist?” “Yeah, she is here already & is attending to Deji right now. You just need to see her, she got me tied to her little finger immediately I set my eyes on her. Believe me, she is a sight to behold”, he said already enjoying the change of topic Richard looked unconcerned & said sternly, “that is none of my concern”. Tony shook his head & said,t“unless u are not the Richard I know, u would have d same opinion as me when u see her”, he said grinning Richard kept quiet & made a mental note to avoid d second floor as much as possible till d end of d day *** I looked at my first patient as he sat in his wheel chair in d very large hall-like place which was decorated to d brim. It looked so heavenly p I adored d place myself. As I pushed him around I kept a light conversation going until he relaxed totally & I was glad. He was extremely taken by d drawings and art works so I decided to use this first time to familiarize myself with him & make him enjoy himself. I noticed that he should be a little older than I am but I decided to treat him as a friend. We explored d art works together laughing freely at every joke I made. He looked so full of life & no one would have believed that he didn’t know anything about himself. I noted his extreme enjoyment & d little things he said unconsciously & planned on working on it. I was very happy that just on d first day,we had achieved things that would have taken a week to achieve. I looked at my wrist watch & was alarmed when I saw that d 2hrs session was almost up. He noticed this & made a funny remark &we both laughed. I pushed his wheel chair as we headed out. He said something about wanting to walk by himself but I told him that he would not do that until d doctor permits. We got back to is room & he was a little bit relunctant to let me go, I had also enjoyed myself extremely & was feeling a little bit attached to him but smiled & told him that it would just be like d twinkle of an eye & d next thing he would know is that we would be having another session again d next day &that in no time, his memory would come flooding back. His parents had thanked me profusely & I left d room for my office. I was about to climb d steps leading to d second floor when I stumbled on d most breath-taking sight I had ever placed my eyes on. I was there like forever admiring d most beautiful craft I had ever seen when all of a sudden, it moved. *** Tolu sat down comfortably in his house looking very comfortable & no one would have been able to think that he had a hand in d case that was being viewed in d television. He watched as d TV brought to life times without number d issue of Tunji’s murder & he hissed audibly. ‘If it had been a commoner, d case would not be shown more than once o, but now that it has happened to them, they are disturbing our eyes & ears with d story. e o tii ri nkan kan”, he thought to himself. He was so confident that he could not be a suspect at all cos he made sure that he never visited Tunji in his house so no one could connect him with d case. He switched off d TV & went out to get a good meal at d nearest eatery. Now I have some cash, let me spend it, he thought as he stepped out of d house.

EPISODE 20 Mr. Badmus walked on his street very slowly, carefully eating d gala with him. As he walked, he looked back at his life & shook his head pitifully. He looked around him hating his environment d more. If he had been told by a sorcerer that he would still be in this retched environment by now, he would not have believed it. He got to his house & stretched his body on d chair immediately he entered. He dozed off & started dreaming of strangling Belina. He already had his hand on her neck & was squeezing hard when a knock brought him back. He hissed irritated & made 4 d door. He did not know why he had to be disturbed from such a pleasant dream so he did not bother to ask who was there, he just opened d door with a killing glare on his face. Immediately he saw a familiar uniform, his countenance changed to a frightened one. “Can I help u sirs?” he said hoping they were on d wrong door “Yes u obviously can”d most threatening of them said & brought out his card. “u are under arrest 4 d murder of Mr. Olatunji James & u have a right to remain silent cos anything u say here would be used against u in…” “What?” Mr. Badmus screamed, “I don’t know anything about that”. “shut up man, now, move”, one of d officers ordered as they handcuffed him & pushed him out of d house into d waiting black maria. *** Richard stood so still that he felt glued to d spot. He had left his office to check on some of his patients but saw someone that made him question if he was daydreaming. He stood so still until she turned & he all he could do was gawp ridiculously with his mouth open. He never imagined that he would see d ‘lady in blue’ again but here he was staring at someone who was a replica of her. He thought that not even twins could be that similar & that made him definite that she was actually d one he was staring at flesh & blood. She was d same person only that d distance had undermined his view & scrutiny of her. He had been able to take in her appearance that day at d concert even though it wasn’t easy but within close range, he felt that even in a thousand years, he would not have finished feeding on her beauty. ‘I need to get out of here fast’, he thought, ‘but not after I find out what her name is’. He noticed that he hadn’t moved a muscle & also noticed that she hadn’t as well so he was a little bit pacified so he moved towards her. He immediately saw d look of surprise &wondered what might have prompted it. He got to her & said breathlessly, “hello there”. *** Mr. Badmus yelled, pleaded & did all sort of things just so that d officers would understand & leave him alone but they did not listen, instead, they beat him up. He was d object of ridicule as everyone on his street & beyond came out to watch d latest movie display only that it was real & not an act. Some people were secretly recording d incident which would make a good post on net. They got to d police station and dragged mr. badmus into d cell. He struggled like a mad man but he was held with expert hands.He continued shouting ‘I am innocent’ but it was more like ‘I am guilty’ in d ears of d officers. They threw him into d cell & he fell down crying profusely & it took just a moment b4 he noticed d people looming over. He lifted up his head &d first person he saw was a scarred guy grinning down at him wickedly with his toothless mouth. *** I stood bawping as d unbelievable man approached. I still found it amazing that he had actually moved. He had stood like a statue & I had praised d talented artist who brought d craft to light but when he moved I was extremely surprised. He approached me & silly me, I hadn’t expected that he would talk, much less to me but when I saw his mouth moving I was taken aback once more. He said something but my mind was preoccupied thinking about nothing or everything & I felt like disappearing until he touched my hand & I was shocked, in fact, I could swear he was electrically charged cos it was like touching a life wire but it was enough to bring me back to normal. “Are u ok? Do u need a glass of water?” he asked looking worried. I mentally slapped myself for my behavior & willed myself against thinking about that voice. ‘I have no business with d male gender’, I thought & when I remembered Kelvin & my dad,my voice became sharp immediately. “I am fine thank u”, I said &made to leave but he stopped me. “Wait, what are u doing here? I have been wanting to see u”, he said urgently. “What do u mean? Have we met?” I asked surprised at his statement. He smiled & said, “Yes & no. I saw u at Heaven’s Gate concert” I flushed. There is something about that face that I could not understand. It on its own portrayed a man of strength & determination but there were a lot of things there that I could not understand. He seemed unpredictable; even with my psychological mindset 8 training, I knew that it would not be very easy to read him though I could sense he must have gone through alot in life

heartless man

EPISODE 21 I noticed that we have been staring at ourselves for some minutes & I quickly said, “it is nice seeing u sir but I must get back to my office sir” “oh, I am sorry, where do u work,he asked “Here” I said casually. “Here? he asked incredulously & his face shifted to a mischievous smile that I wondered if he thought I was joking “Yes here, I am d new psychologist here, I said smiling. “Miss Belina Badmus”, he stated . I was surprised that he knew my name. I wanted to pursue it but I knew that I had to run for my dear life cos this guy was definitely something from another planet. He stood there frozen to that spot 4 d second time that day & I quickly muttered something & scrambled up towards my office leaving him there. I got to my office & 4 d first time, I breathed well. The recent days of my life just seemed to be loaded with unexpected things. I recalled d face which have become pasted on my memory and wondered how God could have come up with such craft. I had thought that Kelvin was d most handsome guy I had come across, that is apart from Tony who is also very handsome. For the first time since the concert, I remembered Kelvin & his betrayal, I allowed myself to dwell on it. I had accepted Kelvin into my life after close to one year of friendship. He was a very charming guy & most of my female course mates thought we were more than friends & they said so aloud. They were very jealous & they did all sorts to shift his attention towards themselves but Kelvin did not even notice them. He asked me out & after about a month of persuasion on his side, I finally gave him d chance to win my love. I did not love him & I made that clear to him but he was sure that he could make me love him. I did not have it in mind to love anyone man & that feeling had been growing in me ever since my tender age. I had watched secretly as my dad beat up my mother. We were very poor then but we did not have to bother about landlord fees cos d house belonged to us. My dad would go out, return drunk & beat up my mother mercilessly. Whenever he tried to lay his hands on me, my mother would protect me & receive d punishments on my behalf. I despise d male folks since then thinking that they were all d same but Kelvin came & after about one year, I was sure that he was not like my dad & after necessary probation, I accepted him. I had put some rules in place though & d major of them all were: he should not smoke, drink alcoholic drinks & tell me lies but d one on top was that we were not to have sex ever except we got married. He said he does not do any of them & that he would respect me & keep us clean. We dated for six months & so many times he almost lured me into his bed but I refused blatantly. We fought over it sometimes but I always forgave him cos I felt he was a guy who was finding it hard to control his urges but something happened one week after my mother’s death that left me completely broken. I called him immediately my mother died seeking consolation but he only replied a cold “I am sorry about that”. I was very upset & angry at his nonchalant attitude but I kept it to myself & consoled myself. I locked myself up in my bedroom at home not coming out at all & my dad did not give a damn. Prisca had been my guardian angel then & had come over to my place to stay with me. Even though I was happy she was there for me, I had already fallen in love with Kelvin & I needed d comfort that only he could give but he was nowhere to be found. He did not call & I refused to call him. Exactly one week after my mother’s death, he called me & asked me to come over to his house. I was elated when I saw his call that I did not confront him about his behavior but when I got there, I got d shock of my life. I knocked d door like 4times & d door was later opened by a girl. She looked like a girl of 18yrs there about but she was putting on a ‘see me through’ gown which just managed to cover her butt. The gown filmed her naked body underneath & I saw Kelvin sitting comfortably on d three seater couch; d only chair in his extra large one room apartment. The girl left me at d door which I have not left since my entrance & went to join him on d couch, holding him so tenderly & curving around him like a mermaid. I saw my world shattering b4 me as I looked at them both & saw d shameful bulge in Kelvin’s trousers in disgust. “Come in & close d damned door,are u just gonna stand there like a statue?” he asked & I looked on not leaving that spot. I wanted to leave but I just could not move a muscle. He laughed sarcastically & eyed me, “see urself? u don’t know what u have until u lose it. u are there staring at us & can’t do anything but stare annoyingly. This beautiful queen here has been giving me all that u have refused to give me. Look, I don’t love her but I love u, just like u did not love me in d beginning but I have noticed u now have feelings for me,he paused & I just looked on like a fool that I was..

EPISODE 22 I am willing to have you back if you would consent to satisfying me in bed in return. Aaah, u are selfish o, body no be stone now, and you dey do shakara. he concluded and his prostitute laughed out loud &he silenced her with a kiss. I just stood there, not believing what I was seeing & hearing. The love that had been growing in me died instantly & hate followed immediately. I did not say anything at all through out I didn’t think I would have d strength to. “So, what would it be Belina,make it snappy, I have some unfinished business here”, he said winking at me. I walked up to the couch slowly & b4 they could predict my action, I carried the extremely full cup of gulder & poured it into Kelvin’s widely opened eyes. Kelvin started struggling with his eyes while the little bitch stood to challenge me. I sent her crashing into d bed with the force of the slap I dashed her. I did not say a word as I left that place a changed person. I dried my face with my face towel. I remembered d striking guy I just saw barely minutes ago & noticed that I did not have his name but I was glad cor the male folks to me have nothing to offer except sadness. ‘They are just joy killers’. *** Richard had finally left the stairs like a lost soul after his ‘lady in blue’ had finally disappeared from sight. He noticed sadly that his problem had just doubled & there was actually no simple way out of this. ‘how would I work under the same roof with that?” he asked himself again. He went back to his office to dwell on what had happened just minutes ago. As he sat down on the unofficial couch in his office which he laid on most of the time, he just could not do anything but laugh & smile. He remembered the way she had been looking at him when she turned in his direction & he laughed out loud. She had been looking at him as if he had been hawking groundnut,wearing an expensive suit in the hospital. He laughed at d imagination & moved on to d next thing that happened which was d surprised gaze; it had been as if he had suddenly grown three heads & a tail. But oh… she looked so adorable that way; in fact, she looked so devastatingly beautiful everyway. He remembered d fact that she had been abducted just days ago & couldn’t really blame the guy for wanting to take her away from everyone’s prying eyes even though he had the strange urge to beat that bastard to stupor. He remembered her appearance in the concert which was permanently pasted in his memory but knew that what he had seen today would not allow him any other thought apart from hers. ‘she is painfully beautiful’, he thought & just when he started fighting against the thoughts, Tony walked in without knocking & found him grinning all by himself which he quickly wiped out. “Hey man, are u having problems with ur teeth?” Tony asked jokingly. He smiled, “did I complain about them to u?” “You don’t have to. Now, what is it that is so funny?” “Do u always have to find out everything?” Richard asked knowing that tony would not let d matter lie until he had ploughed it out of him “Yes, that is what friends are for” Richard sighed; “it is…” he paused slightly, “Belina” he dropped. Tony was wide-eyed when he heard that name & he later started laughing his ass out. “What is so funny now? Cut it out”. Richard said already sorry he had said anything. Tony started cutting out his laughter bit by bit, “I told you… oh Richy, u would always be d Richy I know no matter what you say & how much you deny it. Now, what do you think about her”. Richard hissed and said, “You are a rogue” “Uhn, I have always known that. I am all ears” he said expectantly. “For once in your life tony, you are right only that she is not real. I mean… she does not look real. She is too beautiful to be true, and guess what, she is the same girl I saw at the concert the other day”, Richard said totally into his speech. Tony left Richard’s opening speech for later. “What girl?” he asked confused. “The one that sang when you were chit chatting with your babe”. Tony was amazed, “so, behind that splendid body, there is a striking voice as well?” “Yes o” Tony tilted his eyes mischievously, “so you were suffering from love at first sight when I saw you grinning right?” . Richard was taken aback, “I… ehm… well of course not. Why should i? She is just beautiful and nothing more. Remember, I can’t love anyone”, he replied uncomfortably. Tony coughed aloud unnaturally for some seconds and said, “Really?” Richard got the sarcasm, picked up his pen and threw it at Tony. Before it reached Tony, he was at the door laughing profusely, “You can’t fool me Mr Doctor”; he said and ran out leaving Richard almost the same way he met him, grinning

EPISODE 23 Badmus tried to look through his blood shut eyes but couldn’t. he had just been given the greatest level of beating he had ever received. He had looked up at d hooligans hovering over him after he was thrown to the cell & knew that he was in deep trouble. They muttered something about welcoming him to d house & he thought it would be a simple handshake but what he got was a boxing session. They all tested their fists on him like he was d latest punching bag in town. He tried to stand but could not muster enough strength to pull up a leg so he just lay there on d floor. He swore in his heart to get even & make Belina wish she had never been born for all he had passed through d past few days. “if I can get out of this place, be prepared Belina”, he thought before he dozed off, giving in to sleep as a consolation. ** B4 I knew it, I was on my way home. I had attended to two patients b4 leaving & I had been enjoying myself immensely when I noticed that it was past five. I left d hospital feeling very happy & when I got home, I found d house open. My new mom has a very large supermarket & I was surprised that she was home already. I entered & greeted her lovingly. She was very interested in what happened on my first day at work & I relayed everything neglecting one very aspect, obviously. She also relayed her day at d supermarket to me Prisca walked in and everything became livelier. I reverted back to d bedroom with Prisca. Her dad wasn’t back from work yet. “So, how was work today baby girl?” she started & I started wondering just how far I was going to tell her. I repeated everything I told mum also leaving out d most fascinating part of it all. Trust prisca, she read in between d lines & noticed some loop holes & fired back; I did not have any other choice but to open up to her. “Well, I met someone that looked so… I don’t know. I originally thought he was a statue, then while I was admiring him, he moved & I almost swallowed my tongue in shock & wonder. He is so good looking”, I ended my sermon when I noticed that I had gone too far “uhn, I can practically see stars running around in ur eyes, tell me, what is his name” she asked smiling stylishly. “What stars? Well I don’t know his name & I am happy I don’t. I don’t want a man in my life. They have all been a huge disappointment.Look, I am happy u have a good & loving dad & also Tony but men are good to u but sis, not me. They have made my life miserable. Everyone of them”. She shook her head, “sweetheart, don’t be like this” “Really? Do u know what it is like to have d type of father I have? Well no. what of Kelvin’s betrayal? I felt like dying that day Pric,u don’t know what it is like to be face to face with ur boyfriend & have him throw trash in ur face. That left me totally broken. What of Tunji? He practically made my life a living hell & u want me to think about a guy? No. I don’t have them in my dictionary. I would only treat patients as patients & live my life as a single lady besides, God did not make it compulsory for us to get married”. I said & wiped d tears that were already flowing from my eyes. This was d first time that I was letting out my feelings since last week & Prisca held on to me as I cried & whispered words of encouragements After I had composed myself, I remembered that I had not even checked how much I would be paid as salary & I told prisca who laughed wondering if she could forget such a thing. I brought out d envelope in my bag & opened it. I read d letter & when I got to d place where my salary was stated, I opened my eyes & mouth in shock. ** Richard went home with with Tony. He really needed d company cos he had been trying to get belina out of his mind & everything he tried did not seem to work. They got to the house & they both collapsed on d chair. They had both eaten at the hospital’s restaurant so hunger was out of the question. They had both been pre-occupied towards the tail end of the day & they started wondering why people did not come throughout until around four. They got to Tony’s house around 8 and after about 10 mins rest, Tony put on the TV and the first thing that was displayed was news and from the speaker, he was able to grasp that they were talking about the murder case. “Oh my God, Richy, I forgot to tell you; the guy that abducted Belina was murdered on Saturday” Richard did not like the fact that Belina was the topic again when he was trying to forget her but what he said captured him. “Yeah, I saw the murder case but was that the guy who abducted her?” he asked alarmed. “uhn, wait” He increased the volume and when a certain picture was placed on screen, his eyes almost popped out of its socket. “No, it can’t be true”, he gasped, “it can’t be” “What can’t be” Richard asked very confused and worried now. “That man there is… is Belina’s Father”, he dropped The blood in Richard’s face drained instantly.

EPISODE 24 As I stared at my salary, I could not believe my eyes. When I did the interview, I was asked how much I would like as my monthly salary & I had said, 100, 000 Naira. The place where I worked b4, I was being paid d sum of 70, 000 Naira but here I was staring at d whooping sum of 150, 000 Naira. I closed my eyes & opened it again but d figures hadn’t flown away. I closed my eyes and thanked God. I saw Prisca smiling down at me. I jumped on her & hugged her so tight & I guess she felt uncomfortable. “Thank u darling, God has been using u to make my life a blessing”, I said truthfully. “I am sure I would not be anywhere if not for God, u & ur family “Oh, come on now, firstly, I did not do anything,at least, I am sure u would have done d same for me. Secondly, stop referring to my parents as my family now they are ur family members too so they are our family, ok? “Yeah, Yeah, I have heard u…” I stopped when I heard a car horn. “That’s dad” she said & we both made our way outside to open d gate for him. He drove in & we happily hugged him like little infant children &collected his suit case. Even though he was d owner of his company, he always kept late at work saying that ‘if u want something done properly u must monitor it urself Dad tuned on the TV to listen to the news, we headed to our room. We had just taken a few steps when I heard a name & I froze. I turned around like a robot & what I saw on d screen was more than I could fathom. I stared at my father’s picture being labeled as a murderer. They displayed him on TV without even a singlet. All he wore was a torn trouser as his face looked beaten & battered I expected myself to feel sorry for him or even feel sad or even angry at him but I did not feel anything. I just stared at d TV at first in shock seeing him there & then; I did not feel anything again. I wanted to hate him the more but I couldn’t, I wanted to pity his condition because he is my father but I just could not. I finally felt Prisca’s hand on my back as a sign of comfort but all I could do was stare blankly at d TV. Mr & Mrs Jegas was busy expressing his views about d matter & none of them noticed that they had anyone in the house who knew d murderer much less his daughter. Mum turned & seeing our expression was striken. I immediately turned & headed towards the room but I was too late, dad had already turned in my direction “Belina”, his bass voice rang out in the house & I turned. He looked from me to the tv & b4 I knew what was happening, they were all by my side consoling me like I needed consolation. I laughed slightly& said, “I am ok, I am just fine. I should be crying but I cant bring myself to doing that” I said with a smile & dad said something about it being bad to cry over someone who did no other thing but bring me pain & I smiled. I thanked everyone & left to the safety of d room. As I laid on d bed,the reality of d news dawned on me as I imagined myself as a murderer’s daughter & my heart did a summersault. I pulled myself together & was determined to get over it the way I had gotten over every other challenge I had passed through in life, besides, I did not want to be a pain in d ass in this peaceful family. A week passed and everything had been going on well. During the past week, I had seen almost everyone in the hospital & was surprised that they were all young people within d age of 35 & below. Patients were coming for me on a daily basis & I particularly enjoyed my sessions with Deji. He hadn’t fully recovered his memory but be had remembered three names,though he did not know who those names belonged to, he mentioned the names & when I asked his parents, I found out that there were people in his life with such names. His improvement was a great thing to me & I always looked forward to our sessions together because he is a very interesting person to have around. I had just finished my session with Deji and was back to my office when my secretary called over the intercom. With my observation, I should be within the same age with Joke, my secretary and I took her as a friend. “Miss Belina, there is someone here to see you but he won’t give his name”, she said “Hmmm, is he with a gun?” I asked half jokingly and half serious. Her voice held a smile when she said, “God forbid bad thing” “Alright, once you are sure there is no cause for alarm, send him in”, I said and hung up. Few seconds later, I heard a knock and I said a low but firm, “come in”, the door opened and for one second I thought I would be seeing the guy from last week but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I sprang up from my seat, “What are you doing here Kelvin?

EPISODE 25 Richard sat down on his seat fighting an inner battle. He had avoided d second floor throughout last week like a plague when all he wanted to do was go there even if it would be just for a minute. He hadn’t thought about Tonia at all throughout last week. His attention had been seriously divided last week & Tony had noticed & commented on it but he had made up excuses. He had promised Tonia not to have anything to do with d opposite sex but here he was having his thoughts bugged by one woman as if she had bewitched him. His eyes went to the roof imagining what was in d next floor & what might be going on there & they next thing he knew was that he was already at d door heading towards the place he had been avoiding. *** The court appearance of Mr Badmus was two days away &yet he had not admitted to being guilty. He had been tortured terribly but he kept on repeating “I am innocent”. The police station still remained d same with five police men at d counter waiting desperately for someone to come with one complaint or the other. They looked hungry & even though the “police is ur friend” slogan was typed boldly on an A4 paper & was pasted on d wall behind d counter, no one seemed to be visiting their ‘friend’ today, but all of a sudden,a tattered looking man who looked like a candidate for d prison cell walked into d police station & asked d police men, “can I see d police?” One of d police men answered annoyingly, “you dey craze? The people wey u dey see so no resemble police? “Oh, sorry, I wan drop one evidence o,d evidence show d person wey kill Deputy Governor pikin” The police men laughed him to scorn, “what do u know about that? You don’t even know that the murderer has been found. Abeg leave this place & let better human beings come in jare”, another officer said. Just then, inspector Sule came out of one of the offices &asked what was happening. “oga, no mind this idiot o, hin talk sey he get evidence for Tunji murder case”. “Just shut up there” he said &faced d guy, “sorry for that, where is the evidence?” he asked The guy brought out his phone & gave it to him. He led the guy to a quiet room & he played d video recording on d phone. The conversation was between he & Tolu who had been drunk enough to spill d beans. It so happened that Tolu had gone to d bar to celebrate & after he had ordered drinks for everyone in the bar at his expense, he had drank &drank enough alcohol that his mouth was all over d place. His friend, d guy with inspector Sule, knowing d way his friend normally was whenever he was drunk, positioned his phone somewhere which could capture both his face & his words. He wanted to use it to make jest of him after he was sober as was their normal custom but when he started saying things about Nigerian police being stupid &how they had escaped him &taken someone else for a crime he committed, he knew the recording would be an asset. “Wooow”,d inspector said when d recording ended. “Can u lead us to d place he stays? The guy grinned, “Yes, if I would get something in return, free lunch no dey anywhere o” The inspector got the message, “No problem, I assure u that u would be rewarded by Mr James himself”, he said. “Ok, but make una no use that una siren o & u go follow me enter d house but no wear uniform o” he said standing up Everything was made ready & within 5mins, they were on d road. *** “I said, what are u doing in my office?” I yelled d 2nd time at Kelvin who stood speechless before me. He stammered, “I… I came to see y… u”. I laughed sarcastically, “Yeah right & how did u know that I work here in the first place?” I asked trying all I can to calm my nerves. “I made some findings”, he said. I clapped, “that is good of u,now, leave my office” I said icily “No please, I came to beg u for all I have done, I… I am so sorry. I was so stupid. My friends pushed me into doing what I did that-” “Hey, would u just save it?” I cut in. “I am not interested in ur fairy tale so pls spare me d trouble of gazing at ur irritating sight. Leave” I said pointing at d door. He went on his knees, “Pls Belina, I have not been able to live a meaningful life since that day. You are d only one who could make my life meaningful again pls…” he was saying but I was beyond hearing as my anger was beginning to rise to a dangerous level. I left my place behind d table,stood b4 him & pointed at the door, “leave now” but he would not stand up from d floor. “I said leave now, leave me alone”, I yelled & just then, d door opened & there stood d guy from last week & my secretary, looking from me to d man on his knees. What is going on here”, he asked “Pls… tell this man to leave” I hadn’t noticed that I was crying until then & I wiped my face dry & glared at the bastard in front of me “Hello man, please leave now”,the guy said looking as if he would plough him to death if he refused to obey.

EPISODE 26 “Leave now”,Richard said &without waiting for him to stand up, he pulled him up with a hand & pulled him until he was out of d door. He shot d door behind him & I was inside with my secretary. She wanted to say something but I waved her away & I was alone within seconds. I did not know why I cried but d tears just came flowing down unhindered. I did not love him again but d memory of d humiliation of that day brought more tears to my eyes. I did not know when that guy came in but d next thing I knew was that he was there & I cleaned my eyes with my hand in a hurry. “You don’t have to hide ur tears from me”, he said very quietly. I don’t know if his words made me cry d more or not but I just could not keep d tears from flowing. “Please leave me alone sir,I said turning my back against him. I hate having people pity me or try to console me & I also don’t like people seeing my tears & having this guy see me like that was d worst thing I could imagine. I heard his footsteps but instead of it going farther, it was coming closer. I turned back to re-emphasize my words but was shocked to find him right in front of me. I found his closeness very disturbing & I moved some steps backwards. He seemed to be made with magnet & I felt very tense. “pls leave sir, I… I need some privacy”, I said quickly but not with as much force as I should. He moved closer & my breath was stolen away but I refused to step back again. I stood there & faced him squarely as I continuously robbed at my dripping eyes. He took out his hankie & tried my tears before he silently said, “My name is Richard, Miss Belina, I would check on u in one hours time. Take care”. B4 I could protest, he was gone leaving d hankie on my table which I picked. I forced d tears back forcefully,wentto d toilet to wash my face & I went back to my seat to calm down abit. 30mins after d incident, I was already my normal self I music related researches in order to remain calm. Just for d notice, try out music whenever u are angry or tense, believe me, u would practically see d anger seeping out of u. I checked out d latest songs from CeCe Winans, J. Moss & Kim Burrell who were my inspiration musically & noted them down to be scored during my spare time. Just when everything became perfect like I hadn’t been crying minutes ago,my intercom rang out. “Miss Belina, Mr Richard is here to see u”, my secretary said. My heart skipped several beats, “send him in pls”, I said &unconsciously checked my eyes to be sure I was not showing any sign of weakness. Within a flash, I heard a knock & I said ‘come in. He entered & d atmosphere in the office changed, I could almost swear that even d air I breathed changed instantly. He had a presence that could make u feel testy. I turned on my professional side & smiled confidently. Whether he was surprised to see me stable & back to normal, I did not know cos, if there is someone that I knew I would find difficulty reading, it would be him. He stood b4 me standing straight with male arrogance & said, “You are ok”, he said as a statement but it still sounded as a question so I answered, “Yes I am. Thanks for everything sir, I am grateful, especially for taking that guy out of here”. I remembered that he had given me his hankie & I started searching for it but I was so surprised when I found myself holding it so tight with my left hand & I was alarmed when I noticed that I had not dropped it since I picked it up about an hour ago. I hid my embarrassment but he seemed to notice everything cos those blue piercing eyes could almost see into a man’s soul. I offered him his hankie, “Thank u for this sir & sorry for the state u saw me then, it was just a moment of weakness”. I said. He smiled but did not take the hankie, infact, he had been smiling all along. “I told u b4, my name is Richard & I would like u to call me by my name, miss”, he said. “If u would call me Belina”, I said He smiled, “Yes, I definitely would. Now, can u tell me what that was all about?” he asked referring to the past hour. I had been hoping he would not refer to it but he did anyway, “it is nothing, I prefer not to talk about it”, I said feigning a look of nonchalance. He smiled widely this time and my beating heart started running beyond measure, “when you know me very well, you would know that it is not that easy to make me quit. I know you present a strong woman on the outside with people present but I know that there is a tender and flower like woman on the inside that hurts deeply”. I felt very uncomfortable but I presented a front that said, ‘I don’t know what you are talking about’. I knew from his stance that he would pursue it so I changed the subject by attacking him with my own curiosity, “You have foreign blood in you right?” I asked without warning.

EPISODE 27 He was shocked at first but he later asked, “What do u mean, I am not a half-cast”. I smiled victoriously & said, “I know but u still have foreign blood in u. It is either ur mum is a half-cast or ur dad is. I don’t see u having this colour of eyes without a foreign blood”, I said knowing from his reaction that my judgement was right. He looked amazed as he said, “Well, my biological mother is a half-cast”. I wanted to follow that statement but I knew that it is best to know little of him for my own good. “Don’t think I did not observe ur subject swap, & u are good at it”, he said & laughed slightly, “Christ,u are damn observant &thoughtful”. I gave myself a pat on d back & smiled back feeling at ease with him, then I remembered that I was at work. “Ok, I guess u came to see me d other time for something important but u were unfortunate enough to come at d wrong time”, I said “Oh, it is nothing serious, I just wanted to pay u a surprise visit”, he said smiling. I wondered how he knew my office but did not ask him & I made a mental note to ask my secretary later “Alright, I would be back & be sure I won’t accept d excuse u gave me earlier”, he said & left. I breathed a free air immediately he left but I also missed him instantly. *** The police men arrived at Tolu’s house in a casual car but with uniformed police men in it. Inspector Sule & d guy with d evidence finally got out of d car. The guy took out his phone & dialed a number. “Ore, bawo ni nowww?”....“I dey your house house, I just wan follow some people groove go one joint but I tell them say make them stop for ur house. We dey ur house now, u go follow?” silence followed, then he smiled, “I trust u my guy, u now dey dull my spirit, I swear, we dey wait o”, he said and hung up. The inspector had got d hint so he told his men to stay hidden around d gate of the building & d car they brought. The tattered looking guy sat down on bonnet of d car with inspector sule who was busy taking note of every move. He had learned to trust no one so he was monitoring d guy beside him also Within minutes, Tolu was out of d gate & upon sighting his friend on d car’s bonnet, he walked towards him. One over- eager police man forgot their initial plan & walked behind Tolu, gun in hand. The ever alert Tolu noticed d silent steps of someone & within d twinkle of an eye, removed d pocket knife that was always with him, stopped immediately & threw his hand backwards, & sliced d stomach of his assailant like someone who was ready to do operation. The police man fell immediately clutching his stomach & wailing. Tolu did not see d other police men so b4 he knew what was happening, he had been rounded up with close to five guns aimed at his skull. His hands were forced behind him & they were roughly handcuffed & he was pushed into d car like a cow ready to be slaughtered. The terribly injured police officer was also put in d car & they zoomed off without delay. *** I attended to only one patient & next thing I knew, it was time to go home. As I was about leaving, I remembered that I had planned to ask my secretary something about Richard & I wanted to call her via d intercom but decided otherwise. I cleared my table & I checked to be sure that everything was inside my bag & I found Richard’s hankie. It had a lingering smell of him which made it look as if he was there personally. I dropped d hankie in my bag, cleared my things, said a little prayer of thanks to God & left my office. I noticed Joke also preparing to leave “Hey Joke”, I said “Miss Belina,u are already leaving abi”, she asked “uhn,I have told u that after working hours, I am Belina, for God’s sake, we are almost d same age”, I said already hating all d ‘miss’ bullshit. She smiled & said, “sorry for letting that guy into ur office, I did not know he would upset u” “oh, 4get that. I want to ask u something. How did Mr Richard know my office? Is he a regular face?” I asked Her eyes widened for some seconds, she quickly covered it & my professional instinct told me that a lie would follow. “I… I don’t know but he is a regular face here” I wanted to just just smile but I laughed my heart out & Joke knew that I caught her lie for what it is. “C’mon now Joke,u can’t fool me. Tell me d truth & I won’t tell him or get angry”, I said truthfully. She sighed & lowered her voice in conspiracy, “I am not surprised that u don’t know him for who he really is cos I also did not know for like a month since I came here but listen, that man is Mr Richard Branson, d owner of Best Results Hospital” I blanched & almost passed out at d revelation.

EPISODE 28 Mr.Badmus looked like he had been starved for d past one month. He still could not believe that he had been set free to go. He was brought out of prison & was given a good meal of fried rice & chicken which he ate like a mad man. He had been beside himself with fright thinking of the trial which was Wednesday & how he had no hope of escaping undeserved punishments which was certain to be either death by hanging or firing squad. He looked at d inspector who had so badly disgraced him a week ago & wanted to put a gun to his heart & pull d trigger. He devoured his food & when he was through, he looked at d inspector & said, “Now, my name is shattered, what are u going to do about it? I could sue u, u know? The inspector laughed at d threat, “u want to sue me? Do u think I don’t know about how you sent people to kidnap ur daughter for ur selfish interests? You could spend years in prison for doing that, d murderer told us everything in confession”, he said. The blood drained from Mr Badmus’ eyes & he looked older than his actual age. He started pleading with inspector sule who said that he would behave as if he did not hear anything if he left that place in peace. Mr. Badmus left d police station with just one purpose, to finish Belina. He had been given one thousand Naira by d inspector in order for him to get around, after taking d keys of his apartment he set out. He got to his street in no time & everyone’s eyes were on him. He quickened his steps but even children were whispering then all of a sudden, he heard a road prophet call him, “young man”. He quickened his steps but d voice came harder & frightening, “Don’t u dare walk out on a prophet young man, it is dangerous”. He had heard of d power behind prophets & was scared of them actually. He stopped for his dear life & faced d prophet. He was an old man & was having problem standing upright. “Yes, baba”, he said “Hmmm, listen to d voice of God my son so that u would not regret ur actions. u have it in mind to do something evil & God has asked me to warn u against it. Things would still go well for u & ur former glory would be restored, if u obey my words. That child u blame 4 ur misfortunes is not to blame but u are to blame. U maltreated that child when she was young not knowing that little children have guardian angels who are just there to fight on their behalf. It is what u sow that u reap my son. If u try to carry out what is in ur heart,u would not succeed & might not live to tell d tale. Obey God &u would be honored”,d old man said in a shaky voice & was gone immediately leaving Mr Badmus dumbstruck. Mr Badmus stood poised and too stunned to move a muscle. He could not fathom how that old man had been able to read his mind. He would have thought that the old man was hired if he had told a single soul about his escapade but no, he hadn’t even said it aloud with his mouth and here was a prophet telling him everything to his face. He was finally able to leave that spot five minutes after the prophet’s departure and before he knew it, he was face to face with his entrance door. He battled with the door for some seconds and when he finally opened the door, a very big rat ran out of the door. He jumped out of the way, his heart palpitating wildly. He stayed there for some seconds to recover himself and after that, he went in, and just as he was about to sit down tiredly on his couch, he sited a dead cockroach right on the chair and he flew away again. He left the cockroach on the chair cos he was too tired and went to seat on another couch. Every little thing just seemed to frighten him and he felt that the words of the prophet were taking toll. He looked back at his life again, how he had been a ladies man, and how he had lost his dad and his ability to reproduce to a car crash. He thought about how he met his late wife Linda and how she had given birth to Belina and became more beautiful afterwards. He thought about how Belina had been exceedingly beautiful that even the nurses could not take their eyes off her then they had praised him for being the father. He remembered his maltreatments then which grew worse immediately the finances dropped. He had to admit that the downturn in his finances started immediately he started maltreating Belina. He negotiated his options; if he decides to forgo the words of the prophet by going after Belina’s life, he might be caught by the police and be hanged but if he would not be caught, he would have to go out of Lagos or even out of Nigeria. Following the prophet’s warnings to him would be the best thing, he thought finally because there was still a guarantee of having cash again and no matter what had happened, he was not tired of life yet. He sighed repentantly and went to his bedroom mirror and saw a sight that looked so unlike him and he decided to go to the chemist nearby for medical care before he set out to look for Belina.

EPISODE 29 I walked home looking so stunned. I had been admiring my employer 4 d past one week even though it was done secretly. No matter how hard I tried to last week, his profile kept appearing in my subconscious & now I had seen him today & had found it terribly disturbing. Now, even though I had been trying hard to dislike him, I found him more likeable & fascinating & just when I was hoping I would keep his friendship but leave things as friends, I discover that he is my boss. My boss! How possible is that? Thinking about it, I had been secretly searching 4 d owner of d hospital & I had imagined him to be an elderly man of lets say fourty or fifty but I never imagined someone as young as Richard. Everyone in d hospital was young & I liked that but having that young handsome guy as my boss is something I never imagined. I finally got home & did not meet anyone at home. Mum was obviously having a filled day cos she always arrived b4 me. Thank God I had a spare key which prisca had given me in case of something like this. After changing my clothes & having a little shower, I went into d kitchen to cook some noodles cos I was famished & could not wait for anyother thing. Unlike me, I had a great urge to listen to d news; I don’t know if it is cos of my dad’s trial which was in 2days time but I switched on d TV nonetheless. Immediately I turned on d TV, I took it to d normal Tv stations & d first thing I heard was, “Mr uche Badmus has just been released from police custody. The real murderer of Olatunji James have been found & identified as Tolu Adeniji” “What?” I said shocked. The picture of d real murderer was displayed on tv but I was not interested. I could not imagine how that could happen. Nigerian police always makes silly mistakes. How could they convict a man who was not proven guilty, I thought. I wondered about what my dad was going through & even though I had convinced myself that I did not care if he hanged, I still could not erase d fact that he is my father. My phone rang out just then & I noticed that it was an unknown number. “Hello…” “Hello Belina”,came d voice I knew very well “Dad? Is that u” I asked already standing “yes, it is me, belina”, he replied faintly. What do you want from me? I heard u were set free, good 4u but what do u want from me ehn? Oh… u have another guy u would like to sale me to since d former buyer is dead uhn?” “No, it is not that. I… I am sorry for all I did to u, pls, I only want ur forgiveness”, he said. I laughed, “oh, what a nice ploy. So u think u would say sorry,I would come home & u would carry out ur plans abi?” I asked amazed “no, it is not that. I realized that I have been unfair to u & I am so sorry”, he said & sounded like he had been crying. “sorry? Sorry for what? For everything u have been doing to me ever since I was a little girl? Sorry 4d way u maltreated my mother? Sorry 4 d slut u brought home just days after her death? Sorry for what? “Pls, I can explain everything,I have reasons but it is not a good one. Pls, I need to see u”, he said. “well, I don’t want to see u & I never want to see u 4 d rest of my life” I said & hung up. I felt like smashing d phone on d floor but I did not, but it slipped out of my grasp anyway. I fell to a heap on d floor &cried my eyes out. Richard had been right; I could present a bold & strong front in d presence of people in order to keep them encouraged but deep down, I wanted someone to love me & love me deeply. I wanted d love of a father& a mother. Prisca’s parents had given me that & my days with them had been d best part of my life. After crying for some time, I felt better & started thinking straight again but I knew that I needed something to lift my spirit so I picked up my phone, scrolled through my music album looking for that one song I knew always did d trick & found that song. I started relaxing as I listened to ‘Everywhere u go’ by Kim Burrell *** Everyone seemed to have had a very long day cos everyone got home late. I had prepared white rice & beans b4 they arrived. They were all happy that I had made dinner & they told me that. Everyone felt tired one way or another & I did not have d heart to bring my own problems to bug them again,besides,they had already done enough for me & I did not want to overstep my bounds. “Belina”, Mr Jegas called I turned round “sir?” I answered. “u have been quiet for quite a while now,is anything d problem?” he asked looking worried. Mum was busy in d room & Prisca had gone to take her bath,so there had been nobody to keep my mouth running. “No sir, I… I am fyn” I answered. He stared at me for some seconds & finally said, “I don’t buy that, come” I stood reluctantly, went to meet him & sat beside him on d couch. “Now tell me, did anything happen at work? Talk to me”, he said giving me audience. I sighed remembering my day at work but said, “nothing bad happened at work sir” “so what is d problem?” it is my… my dad. He has been released and-...

EPISODE 30 Released?” he said & stared at d tv probably wondering why he had not listened to today’s news, I had wondered d same earlier. “how come?” “He was actually innocent sir,d real murderer was caught” His eye brows raised in surprise. “but that is not d problem. He called me just as I got home seeking forgiveness & wanting to know where I am “he what? Haaa, people have no shame. So what did u tell him? That u would be going back there?” he asked not even giving me d chance to answer it one at a time “No sir, how could i? I told him never to call me again” “I wish I could strangle him for what he did to u” he said as he jumped up angrily “strangle who?” this came from prisca’s mother & she had a worried look on her face. B4 I knew it, prisca was already in d sitting room looking puzzled & I knew I was d topic once again & sighed internally. “Can u imagine? Belina’s father is already out of prison cos they found out that he really did not commit d murder & he had d guts to call belina asking for 4giveness”, Mr. Jegas said looking like he was about to search my father out & beat d living daylight out of him. They were both quiet but their facial expressions were not palatable. I quickly lightened up d situation. “It is not really a big deal, I told him that I don’t want to see him again & I meant it”, I said. Prisca looked white suddenly, “hey, someone called me today & asked of Belina & I said u were at work, b4 I could ask who it was, he had hung up. What if that was ur father. He could trace u here”she said & while we were still processing that, we heard a knock at d door. We were all puzzled cos no one should have been able to get to d door without us opening d gate. We were so scared & so we all went to d door even though dad told us to stay behind. We opened d door & speaking of d devil, we all stared at d plastered face of my dad. *** Richard turned around on d bed thinking about d one person that had stuck to his head like a virus. Try as he may, he hadn’t been able to purge her out of his brain. He thought about what she had been through & found it hard to believe that someone could go through all that & still be able to carry herself with dignity like nothing had happened. He admired her courage & determination to bring d best out of her life & still found it amusing that she could look exceptionally pretty even when she was going through hell. He had felt at ease with her so much that he felt a part of her instantly. He started comparing her with Tonia,& mentally kicked himself out of it. Just then, he heard a knock & he was still wondering who could be visiting at 10pm when he opened d door. A scream from him followed, “No u are dead”, he yelled trying to close d door. Tonia opened d door back, “I am not dead, Richard” “No…u,u are. You are dead. Oh my God, I am going crazy” he yelled holding his head “No Richard, touch my hand &see that I am real”, Tonia said stretching forth her hand “no,u died 3yrs ago, pls go,go, go…” he said & forcefully closed d door & locked it instantly. He immediately ran into d bedroom shaking all over *** “What the hell do u think u are doing in my house?” mr jegas yelled at my father immediately he set his eyes on him. “Sorry for bothering u sir, I just must see Belina today”, my dad said without jittering. “Well u would be sorry if u don’t leave now. How did u get past my gate by d way? Did u jump it?” “Of course not, I met it open so I just entered”, he replied stiffly. Prisca’s dad laughed slightly, “mr man, u better get d hell out of my house b4 I call d cops to arrest u for trespassing”, he said glaring at him. “Darling, wait”, prisca’s mum was saying putting her hands on her husband’s shoulders. “Stay out of this Lizzy”, he shot back at her. Prisca and I who had been standing silently were both taken aback when we heard him call his wife by her first name and by that we knew that his temper had risen to a dangerous degree. Mrs jegas was not put back, she went to stand between the two men at war facing her husband. He stared at her angrily for some seconds and just like magic, he started relaxing then she said, “come on, he is her father. Allow him”. He glared at my father then allowed him in. I kept my face carefully blank showing neither happiness nor anger at the sight of him and said, “what do you want sir?” “I need you to listen to me and when I am done, you can decide whether you would forgive me or not”, he said pleading with his eyes. Prisca held my hand tenderly and nodded. I led him to the couch and even though he did not like the public discussion, that was what I offered him.

EPISODE 31 “Belina”, he began, “I know that u are angry & u have d right to be. I am very sorry for everything I have done to u & for making ur life miserable but life hasn’t been fair to me either & I thought about taking it out on u & ur mother. My mother did not have time for me when I was young cos she always traveled from one place to d other. You are aware that I was from a very rich family so she had more than enough money to spend on trips & shopping all over d world. My dad though very busy, still spent time with me & gave me one of his companies to manage after my university education but d day that changed d course of my life was d day I lost my dad. We were in d car together when we got involved in a car accident...*he narrated his story to d point of how he met her mum*I had kept my face carefully straight but internally I felt for him but when he mentioned the part of not being able to give birth, my head jerked up. “But u had me right?” I asked becoming more alarmed by d second. “No, I am not ur father”, he dropped. “What? Everybody exclaimed excluding me who was practically in a trance. I could not begin to process d fact that I had spent my entirely life in a lie. My face fell & all d blood in my body virtually drained away as I sat there frozen like a statue. He explained how he had met my mum on d staircase after she had left d room of d guy who impregnated her & how he took her in & all... the fact that u were not my biological child never eluded my mind & I started maltreating u. When things became sour & bitter after some years & we had to move to d mainland, I blamed u &ur mother for my misfortune. I am sorry”, he ended. My eyes could not see properly again cos of d tears it held, prisca held me comfortingly & all d tears came down like a mighty river. I placed my head between my hands & wept then after what seemed like forever, I looked at my dad or actually Ex-dad & said, “I have only one question for u sir. Do u know who my father is?” His facial expression was grim & I felt sorry for him but I was past caring about all that, my heart was shattered. “I don’t know him physically but I know his name. Your mum told me when I wanted to look for him & deal with him but I never saw him. His name is Mr Francis Jegas”, he dropped & everyone in d room yelled one thing or d other as we all turned to d only person with that name. **** Richard sat on thed floor still shivering vehemently. He still heard d persistent knock on d door & he used his hands to block his ears. After about 10mins, he did not heard d knock but he left his hands where they were. He started counting backwards from 100 to 1 & he did that five times but was not able to calm down. He prayed for what seemed like hours but it was actually minutes &he was able to calm down a bit. He stood up on shaky legs,picked up his phone & dialed Tony. On d other side, Tony was exceedingly worried. He had dialed Prisca’s number times without number & she had not picked. He dialed Belina’s number also & met the same result but when he saw Richard’s call, he knew something must definitely be wrong with this night. “Hello Richard, is everything alright?” he asked immediately. “No, nothing is alright Tony, I am going crazy”, Richard responded “What do u mean by that?” “Tony, I just saw Tonia. I saw her. She knocked d door,& I opened & saw her. I was not sleeping Tony”, he said becoming angry again. “Ehn, I am coming now, just be calm ok?” he said &without waiting for reply, he hung up Approximately 30mins after Richard called Tony, Richard heard a knock on his door & his heart started racing. “Tony, is that u?” he asked “Yes, open up man” Tony responded & d door was opened immediately. Unconsciously, Richard scanned the entrance to be sure no one was lurking around & seeing no ghost, he shut d door & faced Tony. “What is going on?” Tony asked “I don’t know. I feel sick. I need a psychiatrist cos I think I am going crazy”, Richard responded sitting down forcefully. Tony sighed, “I think Tonia is taking too much space in ur head Richy. You need to get over this guilt u feel, I have no doubt that is why u have been dreaming about her. u need to see Belina, she should be able to help u”, he said seriously “Oh, don’t mention Belina again. She has been taking too much of my thoughts, maybe that is why Tonia came in person today to remind me that I made a promise to her to always think about her”. Tony looked sharply, “when was that?” “On her death bed Tony, maybe she knew that she would die so she asked me to always think about her when she is gone. I did & also said that no one would take her place in my heart. I only wish I saw her when she died”. Richard said trying to ward off d pain he felt at that remembrance”. “I see, so someone else has taken her place, right?” Tony asked

EPISODE 32 Richard looked at Tony for some seconds & later said, “I think about her everyday, I mean Belina. She is constantly in my head. The problem is that I never felt that way with Tonia. I loved her but it does not compare at all to what I now feel for Belina”. “well then,u better look for a way to drive this problem away cos if u let this damsel slip off ur fingers, I would agree that u are truly crazy”, Tony said with a smile. Richard sighed & relaxed fully on d chair. Tony looked at him with concern, he hadn’t seen his friend this way b4. “What if he was not hallucinating & Tonia is not actually dead? *** We all stared at Prisca's father who was seated with his mouth agape, gawping at my Ex-dad. I looked at him and he gradually grew from a friend and a friend's father to a monster. Everyone's eyes were on him and finally after more than 15 mins of silence and tension, i heard Prisca's mum talk. "What is going on here Francis?" she asked her husband. "I d... dont know", he said frozen to the spot then turned to my ex- dad, "what is her name?" he asked. I did not give him a chance to reply when i said, "Linda, her name was Linda Terresa then". He gasped and looked like he would faint soon and i got my answer. I stood up slowly because my legs could not just carry me but i ensured that i was on my feet because the seat could no longer contain me; my tears were coming in torrents. "So you are my f... father" i said shaking terribly. The entire room was in chaos and virtually everyone was standing except Mr Jegas. "You did not answer my question Francis... I said, do you have anything to do with all these?" she asked charging forward towards her husband. He opened his mouth to say, 'i am sorry' but did not get to complete the statement because she got to him and started pummeling him and my former dad's efforts to seperate them was almost fruitless. I stood like a stick as i looked on as events unfolded before me. Everything was blurry because of my drenched eyes and i was shaking like a leaf on water. I felt prisca's presence behind me and noticed that she hadn't spoken at all throughout the drama but i couldn't care less. Prisca's mum was shouting because she was deeply hurt and her dear husband did not have the audacity to tell her to calm down. "Aaahhh Francis, after all i have been through with you, you did this to me...Oh God... So you can keep this kind of secret of maybe 25 years from me. So because i gave birth to four boys, you outside to look for a girl thinking i would not have one right? You are heartless. How many more are out there ehn? How many?" She continued ranting and Prisca for the first time moved from her position and wen to hold her mother tenderly and that was when i noticed that she was in tears. They cried together and i later found my voice. "So you are my dad. You have been criticizing my dad saying he hired people to kidnap his own daughter not knowing that you are far worse. You are a murderer, you never wanted me and you made my mum suffer. Thank God my dad picked her up if not, i don't know what would have become of us. I would never forgive you. Never" i said and gathered the strenght i could and walked into Prisca's room but not before i saw the tears in Prisca's father's eyes. i entered Prisca's bedroom and knelt by the bed with my head on the bed crying profusely. I was shaking all over and felt it within me that i would fall sick soon. I wanted to leave the house but my legs refused to give my legs the priviledge of rest so i forcefully pushed one leg up, i fell down and hit my head on something very sharply. The next thing that i encountered was darkness and time was forgotten as i entered into a state of unconsciousness. *** Richard turned and tossed on the bed but could not sleep, Tony also could not sleep because he had been dialing Prisca’s phone &she hadn’t picked. Richard left the bed and moved to the sitting room to join Tony. He had also become worried because he knew that they always chat at night endlessly & for Belina not to pick her call also means that something was wrong somewhere. He sat down beside Tony & d atmosphere was very silent and his hand frantically pressed his phone. Richard offered words to calm him down but d words did not calm he himself much less Tony’s phone started ringing & he picked immediately. “Oh baby, thank God. I have almost died her”,he was saying already on his feet hearing a sigh of relief “Please Tony, we need ur help, get Richard. Belina is terribly hurt & we are taking her to d hospital now”. Prisca said “what?,we are coming, pls be careful honey”, he said & hung up “What is going on?” Richard asked even b4 Tony hung up. His worry had now reached its peak “It is Belina, she… i don’t know what is wrong. She has been taken to d hospital”, he said grabbing his coat & shoes. “Jesus…” Richard said & ran into d room to pick his car keys even though Tony’s car was available.

May God save u @Belina

EPISODE 33 Tony drove like a mad man to d hospital. They got there safely much to Tony’s relief & ran into d hospital in top speed. They saw Prisca first & while tony stayed behind to find out what happened, Richard proceeded into d room Belina was taken to & found her on d bed already being attended to by d 3rd doctor in d hospital. He noticed d cut on her head & knew that though d cut looked deep, it could not do any damage to her brain & he heaved a sigh of relief. He touched her neck & discovered that it was very hot & was taken aback. He knew that she definitely could not have developed that degree of temperature by just hitting her head so he thought it best to find out what really happened to her. When Doctor Deolu discovered that he was a little bit intimate with d new psychologist in his actions, he did not allow him to treat her despite all that Richard said. Richard waited & monitored d doctor until he was sure that d doctor had done all that needs to be done so he kissed Belina’s forehead & left d room. He got to where Tony, Prisca & Prisca’s parents were in d waiting room & started seeking explanation. Tony, after calming him down, led him towards his office in order to give him d explanation he needs but they hadn’t taken three steps when Richard’s gaze fell on someone & he stopped immediately. “Is that not Belina’s father?” he asked. “Yes… No… I mean,u don’t understand” Tony was saying but Richard was beyond hearing as he matched towards Mr Badmus & would have blown d life out of him if Mr Jegas & Tony hadn’t held him back & d hospital workers around d scene were wide eyed but Richard did not give a damn. Tony dragged Richard to his office and after they both calmed down, he explained everything that Belina had encountered to him and Richard became bitter. He thought about what Belina had passed through & his heart ached to kiss her hard until all d hurt she felt had seeped out of her. They both sat down silently for some minutes & was joined by Prisca who was very tired. Tony saw d strain in her eyes & begged her to sleep but she refused. Richard also supported Tony & with two formidable forces like they were, she had to succumb. She slept on d long couch in d office while tony stayed there watching at her sleep like a baby. Richard left d office for Belina’s room to check on her. He sat beside her & buried his hands in her rich black hair; the hair he had so wished to feel against his fingers for close to 2weeks now. He had tactfully warded off d people in d waiting room in order to be alone with her & also for her to have enough time to herself b4 seeing those people heart breaking people. His eyes started closing after some minutes & he opened them reluctantly but when it became evident that he needed a good sleep, he made for his office where he slept with one eye closed. *** Prisca opened her eyes after a very enjoyable sleep & she stretched lazily. Working as a banker had made her wake up early, no matter the time she slept. It took her a while to remember where she was & why she was there & when she did, she jerked up to leave the office but a text message which entered Belina’s phone distracted her. She picked up d phone & since Belina does not hide anything from her, she scrolled through d phone. She left d messages unread for belina to do justice to them herself &saw 43 missed calls. The missed calls came from Tony, Richard,Wole & Brenda. She knew them all; wole being one of Belina’s friends who had invited her to the concert she went for & Brenda was the girl that Belina would be mentoring. She saw d amount of times that Richard & tony had called & smiled to herself. She remembered the day that Tony had proposed to her & her smile grew wider, it was such a glorious day. She stood up & went out of d office, moving towards Belina’s room but as she went, she saw her mother & father sitting separately so she decided to play her card as d peace maker. *** Richard jumped up from d couch with a start &discovered it was already 6:30am. He hurried off to d bathroom in his office there to wash his face before going to check on Belina. Immediately he stepped out of d bathroom, he heard a knock & was startled cos Tony does not knock b4 entering. He asked whoever it was to come in & in came Tonia. He stood rock still but instead of being afraid, he was prepared to bind her with d Holy Ghost fire if she would not leave him alone. His talk with Tony made him realize that he would be losing d love of his life if he did not get over Tonia. “Tonia, pls leave me alone. My life has been miserable enough with u enveloping my senses. Pls go back to d land of d dead “, he pleaded. Tonia moved closer, “Richard, I am not dead. I did not die then, pls understand. Feel my hands, my legs, everything so that u would know that I am real”, she said. Richard said a silent prayer in his heart & reached out to touch her & was very surprised that his hands held real flesh & not just air.

EPISODE 34 what… where…” he was saying confused when Tonia threw her arms around him & enveloped him in a hug he knew too well. Just then, d door opened & Tony entered. He stood poised at d door when he saw d person standing with Richard & looked like he was about to pee in his trousers. “ghost” he yelled Tonia smiled, “no, I am not a ghost Tony”, she said & after a few minutes of trying to convince Tony, he finally entered & shut d door. They all sat down & tonia opened a chapter of talk about how she had opened her eyes to a new hospital in another country. Her father, who had never supported her relationship with Richard was d one who flew her abroad, orchestrating d story that she was dead. Richard sighed in total relief &said, “I have not had a day of sleep without nightmares ever since u departed. I never got over d fact that I had called u over to my place when u got involved in that accident” “I told u then that it was not ur fault. Now, I am back; my dad saw that he could not hold me any longer cos my heart is here with u so he let me go” she said. The only problem was that Richard no longer had feelings for her; his entire heart was with d beauty on d sick bed. Richard found it hard to say anything as he watched Tonia talk endlessly. Richard remembered his promise to her & his lifestyle of always keeping his promises but did not give a damn anymore so he decided to take the bull by d horn. “Tonia, pls listen to me. Sitting here beside u after years of thinking that u are dead is still so strange to me. I cherish u so much cos u know that I loved u so much but I can’t deceive u or myself anymore. I am in love with someone else. I know u would think that I am not a man of my words but when u think about our time together,u would see that I always keep my promises. I have kept ur promises thus far but now, I have come across a lady that refused to leave my head & she does not even know it. I am sorry”, Richard said. He had recited everything not looking directly into her eyes but when he finished, he saw her smiling slightly. He saw d pain behind d smile but d smile was still a surprise, he had expected something far worse. “u are smiling?” he asked puzzled & uncomfortable. “Yes I am Richard I half expected it when I was coming back but I still had to try it first. You are d best person that anyone can ever have Richard but I understand. Is this woman of urs a certain young Psychologist?” she asked taking Richard & Tony by surprise. “How did u know that?” She smiled slightly, “I heard u talking to Tony last night. After u locked me out, I could not just leave like that so I decided to pass d night at ur door step but when I heard someone coming, I hid myself & Tony went in. I went back to ur door & was intent on hearing what u were saying cos I was worried that u were a little over d edge, maybe my visit was more bad than I had imagined but instead, I heard a whole chapter of confession of love from ur mouth, only that it was not love for me” Richard was speechless & could not say anything so Tonia continued, “I know that I still love u but it is so obvious that u don’t love me anymore & it is alright, fine, erm *coughs* can I see d girl u love?” she asked. Richard was elated & since he had been looking for a way to escape to Belina’s room, they all stood up & went there together. *** I woke up &d first thing I perceived was d strong smell of medicine washing over my face. I knew that I was in a hospital. Why? I thought & just then, a doctor walked in & I recognized him instantly as Doctor Deolu. He smiled when he found me awake. “How are u feeling miss?” he asked. I opened my stiff mouth to talk but was immediately interrupted by d door & when I looked in that direction, I saw Richard,Tony & a lady. Who is this lady, I wondered & when I saw her hold Richard’s hand tenderly as they moved closer, jealousy sprang up in me & I scolded myself immediately. Richard got to me & a happy smile replaced his earlier on worrisome gaze. I looked around for Doctor Deolu but he was nowhere to be found. “What am I dong here?” I asked. “You just had a minor fall;u hit ur head& was brought here. u just need to rest dear” The word ‘dear’ stuck in my head & I didn’t know why. I need to get a hold of myself, I thought. Everything that happened to me some hours ago came back to me like a mighty river & I became edgy. Richard must have seen it cos he placed his hands on my shoulders soothingly. I tried to sit up but I was pushed back by Richard gently. I noticed d jealousy in d eyes of d lady with d side of my eyes & smiled internally. Richard apologized for his manner after some minutes &said, “Tonia, meet Belina d psychologist & Belina meet Tonia, my friend” I noticed d little wince from Tonia b4 she said ‘hi’ & I knew that there was more to this than d eye meets. Richard looked at Tony in conspiracy which did not escape my notice & within seconds, I was alone with this disturbing guy.
