Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
Bush wanted to go out that night but somehow he didnât even know where to go and so just like little Tom had adviced he stayed back and prayed for the gods of his ancestors to keep his friend Bruise safe. As he laid on his bed he couldnât sleep until Smart walks in.
Bush greeted him and sat up to hear why he had come inside his ranch.
âI saw you talking with little Tom, listen Bush, Tom and his father donât agree and unless you want to get into the masters bad record you will keep talking to his son
âHow do you mean? Bush asked.
âWell, unlike our master, little Tom and his mother are nice and they donât agree with the way thier father treats us. This is not what master expects from him and so because of that they are always at logger head.
Bush said nothing.
And as for that arrogant fool that thinks he can get away from here, he will only get himself killed.
Bush was shocked to know that Smart also knew. âYou know too?â He asks
âWhy do you think master names me smart? I know more than 80 percent of what goes on here.?
âWhat will happen to him? Bush asked again
âIf he is repentant, master might sell him off but if he is not remorseful, this may just be his end. Master might just shoot him dead. He hated arrogance you know.
âShoot? Please they shouldnât kill him. Itâs better he totures himâ
Smart laughed a bit before he responded. âToture indeed? Did you ask him why he is called BRUISE? Torture has no effect on that fool, and he is not smart which is the reason he is going to die a slave.
Bush didnât understand a bit of what smart was saying and so he just kept quiet and watched as smart walked away. It wasnât long before he slept off.
He was soon woken up by the sound of masters bell. He checked his time and it was past 6am. He quickly jumps up and wash his face and then runs out. He saw Smart standing close to his door and runs to him.
âWhat is going on?â Bush asks
âYour friend has been caught. I told you he will be caught.
âWhat? Bush cries and tried to look for Bruise. He saw him tied hands and legs and dragged on the floor by a horse. He wanted to rush to him but smart hold him back.
âStay calm Bush, that is not your battle. Do not die for another manâs battle. Let him bear his cross alone.
And Bush relaxes and watched.
He looked up and saw the slave girl that served the wine for master. She was neck locked. A big and very heavy wood was placed on her neck and locked so that she canât turn to any direction except forward and then she was made to carry heavy woods from the starting of the compound to the end which was quiet a distance. Bush looked at her and felt pity for her but her punishment was nothing compared to what awaits Bruise. And this was what bothered him the most.
He looked up again and saw master walking out calmly from his office. Little Tom was besides him and they seem to be arguing. Bush understood that it was for Bruiseâs sake.
âSon, you are a disgrace to me and I am ashamed to call you my son. If you do not support what I do please do not interfere. Now you can either sit and watch me punish my enemies who plot against me or you can go and hide behind your mother like a chicken.â He said angrily.
âDad please they are humans too, please.â Little Tom pleaded.
âNo o, no o, donât tell me that. They are animals, they are black monkeys. They are bush pigs, they are not humans.
âDad please. God created us all in His image and likeness. And Jesus commands that we should love none another and treat each other right. Please forgive please.
âBush, Bushâ
It was master Tom calling, and Bush didnât understand what was his concern in this.
âLook Tom, look at him, look at Bush, is this human? Is he like us? Look at his skin, Look at his face, look at his hair, is he like us? They are not like us, they are bush animals, they are black monkeys meant to serve us, meant to do our chores, they are born to be slaves and anyone of them that dares to defile me will.pay the price. Bring me Bruise. Master shouted
And the other slaves ran and dragged Bruise to him. He was already very weak and exhausted.
