My uncle's wife episode 14

MY W!CKED UNCLE'S WIFE AND HER CHILDREN
EPISODE14

After a week, my uncle recieved a message from the police station where his wife was taken to.He was called to come.His wife was about to be charged to court for mûrder offence. Then he called a person on phone. After few minutes, My uncle told me to follow him to his car. He said we would go to the police station together.

My uncle didn't go to the police station straight. He crossed to the hospital where I was treated on the day I was cràshed by a car. Then the female doctor who treated me on that day appeared. But I was suprised when she called my uncle "sweetheart".

"Hii, sweety! "The female doctor greeted my uncle as they hugged.

I couldn't predict what was happening,But I felt surprised.Then she waved at me.

"Jumòkè, My daughter, How are you doing? " she greeted.

"Wait, Did she just call me her daughter? " I asked myself as I felt surprised.

"You're the one I'm greeting" she said again.

I was shocked, Because I had lost in thoughts.

"Oh, I'm sorry mum. I'm fine" I replied, as I smiled.

She beamed after hearing me calling her mum and then my uncle pecked her to say Goodbye.

I wouldn't have called her "mum", But I don't want her to feel as if I was disrespectful.

"Well, Maybe___" I was saying in my mind when my uncle entered and kicked the car.

As we got to the police station, My uncle's wife was dragged her out. As I saw her, I couldn't hold my tears. The policemen had pûrnished and beat her mercilessly. I don't know it happens in real life, I thought it only happens in nollywood movies. My uncle's wife was beaten ùnmercifully.

We were at the d.p.o's office ; me, my uncle's wife and my uncle.

"Your wife will be charged to court on Monday " the d.p. o said.

But as they were talking, My uncle's wife kept crying and sobbing. Then she turned to me.She knelt down for me and held my leg.

"Jumòkè,I know it's late already, But please forgive me for everything. I'm sorry" my uncle's wife kept begging me.

I couldn't look at her face, I kept crying and sobbing. My eyes were filled with tears. How I wished I was the d.p.o, I would've set her free.

My uncle didn't look at her at sll, rather he kept talking with the d.p. o.

While my uncle and the d.p.o were talking, I saw a poster at the back of the d.p. o

"Policemen are you friends. If you have any issue, Kindly contact us on 0708367318____" Was written on the poster.

I took out my pen and wrote the number down.

"It would be useful for me" I said in my mind.

When my uncle and the d.p.o were done talking, We left there to his car and started going.

While we were in the car, I found it so very hard to control my tears. I kept crying. So my uncle shouted at me.

"Hey, Don't disturb me abeg! " he said.

I couldn't imagine seeing a person being beaten and tòrtured like that. I'm too merciful. I hàtè to see a person being beaten or treated bàdly.

"Please sir. Forgive her and please do anything to set her free please. She would've learnt her lesson now" I said, begging my uncle.

"Don't tell me that again. I will slap you. We don't pity crìmìnals. They'll do worse. Shut up, if you don't know what to say" my uncle said as he continued driving.

*in court on Monday*.

"No sinner will go unpunished.This court sent you to life imprisonment with hard labour after much pleading from your lawyer" The judge said.

I could see in my uncle's eyes in the court that he wasn't happy. But he managed to smile.

"That's good" my uncle said, as he smiled. But sure, It was a fake smile..

Then my uncle's wife sought for a permission to talk.She was granted.

"My husband, I'm sorry.. Jumòkè, My daughter, I know it's very late to call you this but please forgive me. I'm so really sorry. Please forgive me. I've learnt my lesson. and this would be a lesson to all the w!cked people outside there who are maltrèating the orphans". my uncle's wife said, While tears filled her eyes.

I couldn't hold my tears, I went to where she was

"I wished I had power to bring this case down. I wished I had anything to prevent you from being jàiled. But sadly, it's over already. I've forgiven you, Mum. " I said, as I hugged her.

Then my uncle àngrily separated us and took me to the car and we went home.

I knew my uncle wasn't fine even though he was acting bravely. I knew something was wrong.

Later in the night, My uncle couldn't eat.

"Why are you not eating sir? " I asked him.
"I'll eat it" he said.
"Good night sir" I said, as I did as if I was going to my room to sleep.
"Ok" my uncle responded.

I hid somewhere next to where my uncle was. I saw him crying from afar. He was crying bitterly.

I knew this would happen. My uncle was being strong a while. He needed it. I pitied him. I cried too.

"Well, It's over" I said, as I went to my room.

As I got to my room, I smiled because I could live a peaceful life now. But then I remembered the men who ràped me.

"Mission continue jumòkè " I said to myself.

To be continued.
