Betrayer in disguise episode 8

BETRAYER IN DISGUISE??
Episode 8

The late man wife wanted taking me away from the cell but I refused telling her I'll be fine,
"Are you sure about that? Hope you won't hurt yourself again? I've already called your parents to come tomorrow, the woman said.
"I'll be fine ma, I'll just take my rest now, I calmly replied and she looked at the officer kind of scared.

"Don't worry ma, we'll keep our eyes on her, the officer said and she nodded and left.
I laid down on the foam and picked a novel to take me off my mood and it worked, eventually I slept off........

The next morning I was still deeply asleep when I heard a little hit on the gate and I woke up to see the officers looking at me.
"Time to go, your parents are here, the officer said and I got up immediately as he opened the gate and I fled at once and gave my mom a tight hug and didn't know when I began to cry.

"Honey what's going on? Why are you crying? Why did they ask to see us? Dear talk to us na stop making us scared, my mom kept asking but I couldn't say anything.
The woman came in and my mom quickly attacked her,
"What did you do my daughter! She shouted holding her gown that we had to separate them.

"Calm down mom stop It, I said going in the middle again.
"Joan get out of her let her face me, my mom said taking me away from where i stood.
"What did you do to my daughter?, tell me! My mom shouted still insisting for a fight but I held her away.

"I'm so sorry ma, I apologized to the woman who was calm but she nodded giving a little smile.
"Can someone tell me what's going on here? My dad asked and Favour walked in.

"Oh Joan! She shouted and hugged me before I could say a word.
"Thank God i was finally allowed to see you, I've missed you so much, how are you faring here? Favour said touching me with an innocent face and i slowly kept her hands down.

"Whats wrong Joan? Are you angry i couldn't visit you here? No one was allowed to see you believe me, She said when I was trying hard to control my anger as I slowly went backwards like I just met the devil. Everyone there looked at us, especially my family who couldn't understand my reaction. Favour was also confused as she attempted to come close to me, probably to tell me more of her lies that if I didn't know the real her, I would have easily believed.

"Don't you there make a step you low budget hypocrite! Do you really care about me? Did you really miss me huh? Oh I'm sure you planned of telling me how much you love and miss in court, it would have been a romantic one from a best friend! I shouted that made Favour turned round looking at the officers.

The late Man wife gave a smile watching us,
"Joan what are you trying to say? My mom asked.
"She wasn't a friend, and mom you were right, I should have listened to you, I replied and Favour was gradually going back but an officer violently held her.

"Please let me go, I don't know what she's talking about, she's probably not in a good mood, Favour said.
"Really? So are you going to tell us the one who poisoned my husband or should we take it the other way? The woman asked.

"What are you saying? I told you all i knew about that day didn't i? Favour replied and an officer looked her straight in the eye with a stern look,
"You should be happy we honorably invited you over here with no handcuffs, don't push us to the wall. Now Who poisoned him! The officer shouted and Favour fearfully looked at me.

"Speak! Another officer shouted and she closed her eyes trembling.
"Not me please! Not me! She replied.

"Then who! They barked.
"My cousin, my cousin, please I didn't want to do this please, Favour replied and my mom screamed and bounced on her.

I simply leaned on the way to gain balance as I felt like fainting.
"So when I saw her cousin at the counter, that was when she did the evil after all Favour was in charge of the drinks right? I asked myself remembering last Friday as hot tears streamed down my eyes.

My brother approached me and hugged me where I stood while my dad and the officers were still holding my mom who practically was tearing Favour the way I wanted to.
"Its over now okay, its over now, my brother kept saying.

"Uhmm i want to apologize for everything your family went through. I actually did what anyone could have done and I'm ready to compensate you with anything you want, The woman said.
"What about the charges? My dad asked.

"Is dropped, your daughter is innocent right? The woman replied.
"We only have one compensation you can give to us, and that is to make that idiot and her cousin pay for everything they did to my sister, don't let them escape, my brother said.

"Sure, she still have a lot to tell us, we will take over from here, the officer said.
"Please Joan! Ahh please I didn't do it, I'm sorry, please help me! Favour shouted going on her knees.

"Please take her out of my sight! The woman shouted and Favour was dragged in as she screamed loud begging just the way i did.
I walked up to my mom and hugged her as my dad and brother were talking to the officers there.

"Are you sure you're okay? My mom asked and saw the wound and the scratches I gave myself.
"Mom its nothing, right now i need a warm bath and my Bed to sleep, I replied and my dad turned and looked at us.

We slowly went to them and i thanked the woman and the officer again,
"Sorry Joan and be careful next time. Just imagine if I didn't give you a listening ear, what would have been your fate? The woman asked.
"I don't know ma, but I'm grateful you did, I replied and an officer phone began to ring.

"I'm sorry I acted rashly, I was so frustrated to see my daughter this way, my mom apologized.
"Its okay, I'm a mother too and I understand better, the woman said and my mom smiled and hugged her.

"The full tape from the party is seen, the video we saw was the corrupted one, the officer whose phone rang reported.
"I thought as much, wise bit**hes, my brother angrily said.

"Okay,thanks and sorry for everything. I'll be giving you update about this case from time to time, the woman said and we greeted them happily and left.

When i got home, I went straight to my room and laid down on my bed, then i remembered the terrible nights i laid on the dirty floor of the cell like a criminal. My back and everything fought to adjust to my current situation, something i won't want to experience ever again.

The door opened and my mom walked in smiling at me and I sat up, then I saw she held a first aid box. I burst out laughing at that as she sat down beside me,
"Mom why didn't you study Medicine? I asked.
"Because i know you will, so can your doctor treat your wounds now? She asked back.

"Okay mom but first I need to take my bath first, my body hurts, I replied and she sadly nodded.
"This will never happen again I promise you, she said.

"Yes mom, I've learnt my lessons and i have my own experience now, i said.
"Okay, I'll go prepare something for you to eat while you take your bath, she said.

"Thanks mom, let me enjoy my bed for now, I missed it, I said falling back on it and she smiled and left.

I came out to the Dinning and ate breakfast with my family as we chatted and laughed like nothing happened.... In my stay in prison, i imagined this moments with them and was scared it may not happen again.

I was having my nap when I heard noises downstairs, I stood up and peeped again like i did when the cops came, and it was my class mates visiting.
I ran down Immediately so happy as we hugged tight,
"We heard what happened Joan, who would have though your best friend can do that to you? One asked.

"I'm not surprised though, I never trusted that Favour when i heard her talking with a girl from the Art section about you. She said you're claiming to be beautiful because you're fair skinned when she's more beautiful with her black skin. She was jealous when you were made the school girl's prefect, she even said you slept with teaches to get the position, I mean is that a friend? Prisca asked.

"God forbid! A girl exclaimed.
"I'm so shocked right now, it was hard to believe, another said.

"And you couldn't tell me this Prisca? I asked.
"oh so easy to say now its exposed you have a friendenemy. Did you care to hear anything concerning your royal best friend? A guy asked and I heaved bowing my head.

"I didn't know how to tell you then, because you wouldn't have believed me. But I'm glad you're okay now, Prisca said and i nodded.
"its okay, such is life anyway. I hope the school is not aware about this? I asked and they all exchanged glances and began to laugh.

"Did i ask any thing bad? I asked confused.
"Of course yes, you think we are the only ones who knows? Favour practically testified to everyone how God saved her from the trouble you wanted heaping on her head, a girl replied and i scoffed.

'I didn't notice Favour had some mental issues, or did she? I asked.
"Probably she showed you the signs but you laughed it off, a girl replied and they laughed.

"Joan don't think about it anymore, I brought notes for you, Prisca said and i gave a little smile as we talked and had fun before they left after i promised them I'll be resuming school soon.............
