Epic 22“Good morning mum!”, I said while going close to hug her.“Good morning”, Dinma said in a low tone. Of course, I understand her fears, she will always remain the little Dinma I have always known no matter how smart she thinks she can be, just immediately, Alex came and joined us.“Good morning sir”, Dinma greeted Alex as he entered the kitchen.We all exchanged greetings as soon as we were done, We all went to the sitting room. Mama was more relaxed now, so I pleaded with her to tell us about the relationship and how she got into this big mess with her twin sister. She agreed after a long hissing.“I don't know the exact place to start, but each time I remember the past, I feel like the pain was too much for a payback”. Mama said, but Alex and I encouraged her to open up. “Well, my twin sister and I were very close, and of course very Identical, I told her about your father whom I later married, but unknown to me, My sister was already pregnant for him, Your father, said he d

Epic 24I went to Alex's room, he just kept tapping his feet uncontrollably on the floor. I have never seen him in such discomfort before. What could be wrong with him?“You called, what is the latest update?”, I said while sitting on the sofa close to him.“Yeah! Just a few minutes later, mum called, she told me she wanted to make peace, she was ready to come clean, she asked me to beg you on her behalf which I agreed to do after we ended the call with some prayers...” he said while pausing.“Are you serious? This is good news, so how are we going to do it, probably invite her over so that everything can be settled in a good way”, I said smiling, but he still wore his angry look.“What happened? Why are you not happy, this is what we have all wanted, you should be happy”, I told him while giving him a little punch.“I wish the story ended here so that we can both rejoice together”, he said while still stamping his feet.“How? You are confusing me, was she joking when she said that? I

Epic 26"It is about your father, I was the one that got him blind", she said as she bent her head. Even Alex was disappointed."What did you just say?", mum said with tears in her eyes."I am sorry", she said."You don't have to be sorry, like how did it all happen?", Dinma said."Mum!!!", Alex exclaimed while shaking his head."You must have acted out of your present situation then, but how did it happen?", I said while holding her.“Then, when I heard about the accident, I bribed the doctor to inject something in his eyes which can make him get blind, then claiming it was as a cause of the accident, which he agreed to”, she said while crawling to where my mum was but she snapped her hands off her clothes."You are indeed wicked, you mean…", Mum just paused as she couldn't bear the pain. She just ran inside her room and started crying. We all cried because it was too bitter to be a true story, even with all that, she still wasn't satisfied. This was all for one baby she lost, thousa

Epic 28"News came from the prisons that my mum is missing", Alex said as he came to the kitchen where I was.“Your mum!!! How is it possible? Isn't the prison guarded?”, I said annoyed.“Exactly the same question, I am asking. When you are done, let me know. We need to go visit the prisons for information”. He said and I nodded my head while continuing with what I was doing.This woman and her evil, who knows what she is up to? I knew she would escape as she said. But how did she surpass the guards at the prison or probably break out of her cell? This is a very serious and sensitive situation. “Aren't you done? I need to get going”, Alex said while coming inside the kitchen again.“Almost, please don't go without me”, I said as I began to quicken my cooking.When I was done cooking, I didn't dish it out because Alex was in a haste to leave. So we both left together.On getting to the station, everywhere was in a mess. From the story we heard, it was said the person who did that is a

Epic 30“You need me for what? If the baby needs blood why don't you get one for her, aren't you her father? Donate blood to her, do something to save your daughter”, I shouted at Leo, annoyed.“You won't understand, please!!! If only you can stop nagging and come help at the hospital, before I lose her, please!!!”, he said and I became more annoyed.“Why on earth won't I switch off my phone for you right now? I am going through a hard time, let's all learn to deal with our problems, don't add yours to mine, all of a sudden you have my number, and you call my digits right, but then, when I needed your help, where were you? You bluntly turned off your phone on me, and now you want me to come to donate blood to your daughter whom I am not even certain, has the same blood group as me, Leo for the past years, I have respected our friendship, but do well to honor me the respect of not calling my line next time, understood!!!”, I screamed and ended the call. My heart was burning, what exact
