Sins Of My Past

Episode 32

She keep quiet for something without saying anything, I too wasn’t ready to break the silent, she sat there lost in her own thought for about ten minutes before getting up,she took the food and left the room, I wanted to call her back but I just hold myself, why I dont know, not long she left my mum came in, mimi could have told her what happened.

She asked me the same question,why I didn’t want to eat and I too gave her the same answer I told Mimi, she too tryed to convince me that nothing was wrong but all her words fall on deaf ear, their words won’t get to me because I was determine to find out the truth, my mum tryed all her best to talk me into eating but I till refuse, she later left when she saw that it didn’t work, I was once again left alone in my room, two hours passed and I didn’t see any of them, I was now angry, I really dont know why but I was, I close my eyes when sleep came knocking.

I later open my eyes at 12:34, maybe it was the hunger that I was feeling that wake me up,I look round the room and found nobody,I call mimi and my mum but no replied, I try to get up but the pain I was feeling wont let me,just then the room opened and lmada walked in, immediately I saw her I got scared, she was just smiling at me without saying anything and that smile wasn’t a nice one, I didn’t know what to do, how did she get into my room was the thought that was in my head, she started walking slowly towards me,with one hand at her back,I called mimi again but yet no response, the more I call the more lmada laugh, she was very close to me now, I was so scared,I try to move but couldn’t it was like I was tie down,she came at the side of my bed and slowly removed her hand from her back,and behold she was holding a knife,that was when my fear arouse, I shout and shout trying to move but yet my body refuse me,she lift the knife up and started stabbing me.

I open my eyes patting so hard,it a dream, I looked around and saw nobody too, I look at the time and it was 12:34 exactly the same with my dream, I became scared now,just then the door open but this time it was Mimi that entered, she quickly ran to my side, “I heard you scream,are you okey”, she asked me, I looked at her and didn’t know what to say because I wasn’t myself anymore,she started touching my forehead, “God you are burning up with fever, please you have to eat something so that you can take your drugs”she sounded so worried but that was the least of my problem now, “where is lmada” I asked her, she drew bad in disbelief, “what, lmada” she asked me as if she didn’t hear me the first time, “yes where is she” I asked her again, she stood up, “are you for real,you are asking me,I can’t believe this” she was sounded not like Mimi, “I dont get you this is not the first time of me asking about her,why are you behaving like this,I just want to know where she is thats all” I try sounding nice. “Well I don’t know,how am I supposed to know, I haven’t seen her since I came here,did you dream about her” she said looking suspicious, “no,why will you ask me that” I asked her, “because you you are just waking up from sleep and you are asking after her” she replied me, “well nothing,I need to rest” I wasn’t just ready to start any conversation that will take us no where,I position myself well and close my eyes,no that I wanted to sleep anyway,I just dont want her to ask me any silly questions, she sat down again close to me, “uyi, why are you doing this,tell me” she said almost in tear,even if I wasn’t seeing her I could hear from her voice,I open my eyes “am not doing anything, it just that I want to know what is happening,and you don’t want to tell me, you are keeping things from me” I replied her,in as much that it hurts making her go through all this but yet am till ready to hold myself. “Am not hiding things from you, I told you nothing is going on,if it about the othet day,I and mother came back from the market and saw you lying on the floor at first we thought you mistakenly fell but when we came closer we saw blood,I quickly went to call someone that will help us take you to the hospital,and mother stayed with you,we took you to the hospital and they commence treatment on you,God brought you back to us, and the reason you think we are been nice it because the doctor advise us not to allow you think or stress yourself too much,that’s all,there is nothing”, she said, I was now confuse, does it mean it wasn’t mimi that held me, was it my mum, didn’t she hear when I mention lmada’s name or she just don’t want to talk about it, I wanted to ask her if she was sure she wasn’t the one that held me but I just forget it because I don’t want to raise any suspicion from her, I looked at her and saw the sincerity in them, I let out a smile and held her hand, “am sorry for my behavior, please forgive me”, I was truly sorry, I was just suffering her including myself for nothing, she told me she wasn’t angry with me that she didn’t bother to ask me what happened that faithful day because of what the doctor said and that they want me to tell them myself,that will be when am ready, I wanted to tell her right there but I just couldn’t and I really don’t know why.

She hurriedly left the moment I told her I was ready to eat, I know she will be excited, I was so thankful to God for bringing people that loves me so dearly,I really wont know what I could have done without them, I didn’t bother to ask my mum about it again because I decided to let everything go, I will deal with that issue later but first I have to know the results of the case, which the next court date was just around the corner.

Slowly slowly the court day arrive, this was the final day that the case will be judged, everyone that was needed was present even mimi but this time she came with me, to cut the story short the case was dismissed because the judged said I have no case to answer because of so many reasons, my medicate problem was involved mostly the last incident that took place, the judged ended it by saying what ever punishment that will be given to me now is useless because God has started his punishment already.

Maybe he was right but that doesn’t matter anymore because at least the case has ended and it ended in my favor,lmada wasn’t pleased at all,well who will,I know because I saw it in her eyes,the look she gave to me could kill instantly, I wonder why I didn’t get her arrested for attended murder, only God can answer that.

I and Mimi went home happy,we even host a get together party,that was mimi’s idea, even my parents didn’t know the reason for the celebrate, I was happy but my mind wasn’t settle,what if lmada trys to make another attempt on my life again or my family or Mimi, even if Mimi was her sister,she might not care because the lmada I know now has no heart.
