Sins Of My Past

Episode 25

The doctor left me after administering some drugs to me,I was asked to come back the next day to check on the girl,and I was also warned not to donate blood with an empty stomach, but seriously whose fault was it me or the doctor,I got home at about 6:pm, I immediately went to the kitchen to prepare
something to eat,in not time I was done then I took my bath and served myself a plate of jallof rice that I prepared.

I sat on the couch after I was done eating,I put on the TV to see if there will be any interesting movie to watch, just then the event of the day came fleshing on
my mind,I couldn’t believed I was dead,is that how death is,only God knows why he allowed me to live, I picked up my phone and dialed mimi number but she wasn’t responding, I tried some more but till no
response I angrily throw my phone away, I just want mimi back and I will get her at all cost.

I woke up the next day,I have sleft on the couch while thinking, I check the time it was 8:45am again I missed work,I wasn’t use to missing work but all this problems are really getting to me,I was about to leave
the sitting room when I had my phone ringing I quickly try and located where it was and luckily for me I found it,it was an unknown number.

I pick at once,”hello”, “please am I speaking with mr uyi”said the caller, “yes how may I help you” I don’t
know if I recognized the voice. “I am caller from the state police headquarter,your presence is needed”, the caller said, I told him no problem and he ended the
call,I immediately call Barr Wilson to inform him of the update, I quickly took my bath,ate some food because I won’t want anything that happened yesterday to repeat itself, I drove to the police station as soon as I
finished my breakfast. I try not to think because that got me into trouble,
thank my stars that the little girl was fine,I got there in not time and waited for Barr Wilson who said he will be with me in a short time,I waited in my car because I don’t want to go in without my lawyer. Barr Wilson
arrived some minutes later then we both went in,as I entered the D.p.o office I almost lose my balance on seeing lmade,she has really grow into a full woman,she is really beautiful, I didn’t have time to
assets her the first time we saw,at her left was mimi,she didn’t bother to look at me,and there was a
man with them,that was her lawyer. I was there but my spirit wasn’t with me,two things was going through my mind, mimi and lmada,but I really can’t believed mimi will stand with her sister to
put me in jail, is it that easy to hate someone you once loved,that is life for you. Barr Wilson did all the talking I wasn’t really myself to say or answer any question, I tried to talk to lmada but she gave me the don’t dare
look, the meeting later came to am end, now for the concluding part,the D.p.o asked lmada if she wanted to take the case to court which she gladly wanted,the the D.p.o asked me the same question, I really don’t know what to say at that point but I knew they wanted an answer,barr Wilson whisper to me to think
of my decision very well before saying it out,I looked at mimi who turned her face away then to lmada who looked at me with hatred and disgust,just then I knew what to say.

“I cannot turn back time to undo what I did,I can’t say it was an act of foolishness that made me do it, I was stupid yes and I can give anything to change what has happens,but if taking me to court will make you
satisfied them am ready to go,lmada” on saying this I got up and left,I got to my car and wait for barr Wilson to come,I didn’t know what went wrong with me but I wasn’t thinking straight anymore,I was till waiting
when my phone started to ring it was Anna that was calling “good morning sir” she greeted which I replied,
“sir where are you I tried calling you since morning but your number wasn’t connecting” she sounded
worried,well she has always been like that, “oh don’t worry i am okey how is work”,i really wasn’t in the
mood for long talk, “sir you should be here by now the contractors are here and they have been waiting for you for the past 30min sir” o my God,today is Tuesday,

I lost count of days, I have a meeting today and a very important one at that,losing this will cost me my job,I pleased with her to keep them waiting for some few
minutes that I was on my way,I quickly entered my car and didn’t bother to wait for Barr Wilson, I called him and informed him of the new development,he told me to get my work seetle first then we will talk about
the case later,I got home,got ready and took the documents that was needed,I was driving at a high speed that I didn’t see on time a school bus that was coming out the school compound,by the time i saw it,it
was already too late for me,I quickly gave a round turn to avoid hitting the bus with the fear that they might be children inside,the turn was to much that my car round over.

I could here people shouting, my hand was weak to move, I could feel my heartbeat increasing, I thought of my parents, my sisters and brother,I thought of mimi and the wonderful time we have spent together,
I thought of lmada, how I wish I didn’t listen to my friends,I prayed in my heart that God will forgive my sins,I could feel myself bleeding, my eyes was slowly closing then I knew the end of my life has come,I tried
to stay awake but I was to wake to battle with
death,then I closed my eyes and went to a long sleep
