Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 31

Deborah’s POV ?

“Don’t even think about completing that statement”

He just posed like a statue without life

Looking at him, he doesn’t even care

“What is it? Yes I knowy Dad did a bad thing, but it’s wrong to relate it on others, do you even know why he is doing this?”

“I don’t care to know. Wait a minute.. why am I still here?”

“Just go please Johnbull, I hate this conversation we are having”

“Whatever”

He picked some clothes and ran out

“Hmmph”

What a coincidence!

I get to Johnbull here in prison, my Dad is in trouble..

Talking about Dad.. where is he?

“Dad! Dad!!”

I searched through the prisons to look out for him

I came to another prison, I could hear bags zipping up and down

I decided to check it out

Oh no!

“Dad, what are you trying to do?”

“Deborah, I know I’ve been a bad father, but I don’t think staying alive is worth it”

“No no no Dad, you don’t have to kill yourself so that you can show how sorry you are. But it would be immense sadness if you do this. Please Dad,don’t leave me”

I was crying deeply – killing himself won’t solve anything, I have friends who lost their parents, I knew how they felt

But I don’t want to experience that now

“Dad please, just come down, we would sort it out”

He dropped the ropes off his neck

I can’t believe he just tried to kill himself!!

I took his hand and we limped to a vehicle just outside the building

Before he could start the engine, we heard sirens

Ohh God, it’s the police

My Dad alighted the vehicle, he knelt down in front of the car and put his hands at the back of the car

“Hey, you better don’t move Mr Donald, anything you say here would be used against you in the court of law”

He was handcuffed and taken to the back of a van

While this was happening, I was busy crying

“Oh Dad, they are going to take you away just after I’ve seen you for many years”

“Hey ma’am, who are you to him?” An officer walked towards me carrying a cardigan

I even forgot that it was cold out here

“I’m his daughter” I sniffed

“Ok ma’am, please follow, so we can drop you home”

I was taken into one of their vehicles and off we go

Through the journey, I kept mute thinking of what would happen to him

I never realized that the journey was long

Come to think of it, how did the police get here

Oh maybe when they got to the master’s house, he told them the way

Oh God! I’m alone right now

????

After some hours, we arrived at my house

The van that took my Dad went directly to the station, so it was only the vehicle that followed me here

“Oh my God” my Mom screamed – tears were all over her face

“Oh my daughter” she hugged me tightly like she’s not going to leave me forever – off course, she not gonna leave me

“Hey Mom”

Her face suddenly change

She dragged me inside

“Mom, what’s the problem?”

“Oh you’re asking what the problem is right? You won’t kill me this girl”

“Mom, it’s not really my fault, I was kidnapped while strolling with John”

At the mention of the name “John”, angry from nowhere grew in me

I hate that boy – I wasn’t on my guard, no wonder he suddenly had interest in me

Imagine! He just saw me some days back and now he is love with me

Who does that?

I mean, I do believe in love at first sight, but I.. God! Johnbull just spoilt everything

“Deborah!”

“Oh..yes.. yeah Mom I’m listening”

“What’s wrong, you look pale”

“Yeah, Mom I’m hungry, any food?”

“See this girl, you don’t worry anymore, you just want food”

“Mom, please I’m starving”

“Calm down oo, I’ll be right back”

After some minutes, she came back with rice

I didn’t even wait to pray, I dragged it and swallowed all the way down

“Take it easy girl, it won’t digest well with the way you’re eating”

“Hmm, do you know that John is a fraud?”

“How do you mean?”

“He got a job about bringing a girl for some rituals, so he decided to bring me in”

“What the heck! You mean that boy calked John, was the master planner of the kidnap?”

“Yes”

“I knew it!”

“Knew what? Mom, weren’t you the one that was referring to him as my husband?”

“Don’t mind me Deborah, I was just trying to lighten your mood”

“Whatever! Mom, guess who I saw?”

“Hmm, I don’t know. Just say it”

“I saw Johnbull”

“Aha, but you just said that he tried to kidnap you”

“No Mom, that was John, this one is Johnbull”

“Oh!”

During the whole time we were discussing, I was still eating

Eating slowly during this period was not my agenda

I swallowed heavily so I could get more strength

After eating for some minutes, I drank water and belched – to show satisfaction

“Dirty girl, why did you have to belch to show you’re filled?”

“Mom, is this not our house anymore?”

“Lol, so, any other gist?”

“I saw dad!”

Johnbull’s POV ?

Whoa

It’s really freezing out here

I’ve been walking like forever

No signs! No body to talk to

People outside were just shaking their heads as I passed by

I don’t really want their sympathy, I just want to get home and see my Mom

Seconds passed, minutes passed, and even hours passed, still nobody

Then suddenly I remembered

Baba Jason told that this place is really far from people’s houses and that finding a way to the prison was really hard

I have to get out of here

“Hello please” I moved towards a man standing by road side

He turned and looked at me with curiosity

“I’m sorry to bother you, I’m just looking for a way out of here”

“Ok, so how can I help you?”

“Please, do you know any police station here?”

“No but I have their phone number. Take and make a call” the man stretched a phone to me

This man is really nice, this is the only person that didn’t run away from me

Afte the call, I handed the phone back to him

“So, what did they say?”

“I described the place to them. I don’t really know this place, but I used the direction on that signboard over there”

“Ok, just sit on that bench for the moment”

⏭️⏭️⏭️

I waited for hours..

Finally they arrived, I went in and we zoomed off

The journey was kinda long

But it wasn’t long like when I was brought into the prison

We arrived at my village and straight to my house

“Is this the house, mister?”

The pointed to a house – referring to me

“Yes sir, lemme drop down”

Hmmph, it feels like home

I rushed to the door and tried to open it – it was locked

The neighbors came out after the police officers left – maybe they were afraid of the officers, I don’t know

All I care about right now is my Mom

“Mama nkechi, abeg where my Mama?”

“Aha, Johnbull, you don big oo” she complimented in pigin

“Mama nkechi, abeg just tell me where my Mama dey”

“Oh, see Johnbull, I no know where your Mama go. It don become three weeks when she leave. The landlord even lock the house, because una dey owe house rent”

Arrrghh!!

Look at what that stupid man called Don caused

Good for him, he has been caught

“What do I do now?”

I don’t have anywhere to go

I don’t even have a friend’s house to go to except..

Oh no! No!

I can’t go to Deborah’s house, we had issues before leaving the prison..

Hmm..

It seems that’s my only choice

?

?

?

Don’s POV ?

Life came crumbling on me again

I don’t even know how to say this

I get to find myself not remembering a thing about my family

I tried to leave this business but to no avail

I tried to kill myself but my daughter won’t let me

Now, I’m being taken to the station for questions

I know I’m not going to make it, because I’ve caused the death of many

I don’t kill people, I only give wealthy people humans for their fetish needs

“So you dey cry abi, foolish man” an officer was referring to me

“No mind them, when they dey the business, they no go get any regret, nah when police catch them, nah that time tears go comot”

“Mtcheew stupid man, look at you, you have a daughter, but yet you give human parts to wicked souls for rituals”

“If it were your daughter, will you take it likely with the person, you’re going to rotten in jail”

The officers kept lashing at me with both insults and curses

It’s not their fault, it’s I who did this

We arrived at the station after some many hours of driving

They kept me at the counter

I was asked to write a statement and I was kept in prison
