Epic 34“Hello, Dinma”. I said while clearing my throat.“Where are you guys?”. She was a bit scared.“We went to a cafeteria, the interview with the headmaster took so much time and we were hungry so... That is it, but, is there a problem?”. I said“Not really, I heard a tanker fell a break that side and killed so many people”. She said still scared.“A tanker?! I didn't hear of that, let me ask Leo though. But, once we are done eating, we will start coming back”. I said.“Why are you coming back when it is almost 1p.m? Today is Friday, Lisa, usually dismisses by 1p.m on Fridays, so just hang around and bring her back as well”. “Ow! Okay, that is perfect then”. I said smiling, before ending the call.“What did she say?”. Leo asked.“She said we should order more food”. I said laughing.“Can you for one day, be serious?”. Leo said while laughing.“Okay, according to what she said. Seems, there was an accident that happened around, and lots of people lost their lives, also she said si
Epic 35“Madam please! I have no hands in this, I can swear on that. I am a mother like you, I just accepted this job because I needed money. Please!”. I pleaded to the woman who didn't seem interested in what I had to say.“Sir please!”. I said while pleading with the husband.“Don't you dare touch me”. The angry man thundered.“I am sorry sir, but we will have to take it up from here”. The policeman said as I looked at him shocked.“Sir please! Argh! My baby! Okay, okay, let me just call my husband. Please!”. I pleaded as the policemen were dragging me out.“You have to make it quick”. One of them said while letting me go I quickly dialed Leo's number and told him what was going on before they took me to the station.“Mrs. Angel, this is the second time we are holding you in custody in our station, and you know how we do things here. If you want mercy, you will obtain mercy but if you choose to make things hard for us, be assured it is to your detriment. So, tell us, do you or do yo
Epic 36“What did he find out?”. I managed to say after a deep breath.“He didn't make it known to me, but he seemed to have gotten a little information about the missing baby”. Dinma mumbled.“Tell him to stop stressing himself, that I have already accepted the crime”. I mumbled while noticing the tears that flowed down Dinma's eyes.“Hey! Don't cry, okay! I know everything happens for a reason, and we just have to let God do his will. I know Karma is always going to catch up with the person”. I muttered as Dinma joined me in bending her head, and silently muttered “Amen!”.“Your time is up!”. The angry policeman said while coming to where Dinma was.“Take care of Lisa okay!”. I said while cleaning my tears.“I will Sister, Always. Don't worry, we will get you out of here”. Dinma said while turning back, as the policeman pushed her out.“See how you are punishing your family members, worst of all, you even accepted to be guilty after everything. Wicked woman”. The police officer said
Epic 37“Nothing sir”, I stammered while looking at him shaking.“Do you want to lie to a police officer?”. The man said as I became more terrified. I just hope this will not be another means of attracting punishment.“We were only discussing family issues”. Clara said as the policeman gave her a weird look, before returning to his stand.“Oh my! Thank you”. I mumbled while still panting gently.“It is fine. We should be more careful next time”. Clara mumbled as I nodded my head while taking in a deep breath.“Woah! Such a day, I can't just wait for tomorrow to come”. Clara said as I looked at her smiling.“I know, I understand the feeling. I will miss you a lot”. I said smiling.“I will miss you more. Thanks for being not just a friend, but a sister. I believe we are going to meet in the real world”. She said while hugging me.“Of course we are”. I mumbled while rubbing her back.“It is time for the meal”. She said with a little tap on my body as I stood up and we all left with our
Epic 38“If there were no wicked people in the world, it would have probably been a dry world, don't you think so? More like everyone is so peaceful”. I said laughing as Clara just eyed me.“Oh please! That is very much preferable. I mean just take a look at us. Suffering for what we didn't do”. She said annoyed.“Yeah, that is true, but there is a reason for everything”. “Hey! Come out!”. The policeman said while pointing to the girl who was in a corner at the back, crying.“Why is she crying?”. I said while looking at the middle-aged girl, about twenty to twenty-three years of age, walking out with the chains tangled all over.“Her name is Emelda, and she is a nineteen-year-old girl. She is on trial, to be prosecuted today. I feel for her”. Clara said as I gave the girl a close look, before she faded away, along with her shadow.“What?! Nineteen?!!! She is too young, what did she do?”. I said with a troubled heart while shaking my head.“Well, according to what I heard, she killed
Epic 39“Seat”, it was the D.P.O of the police. He was holding a paper, I just kept looking at him confused.“She is very stubborn and rude. Make her seat yourself”. He commanded the policemen who forcefully made me a seat while facing the D.P.O“Have this”. He said while pushing the paper toward me. I just kept looking at him angrily.“What do you want?”. I said in my bold mean tone.“I am not here for your queries. In front of you is an undertaking, and you are to sign on it”. He said as I looked at the paper in front of me.“What silly undertaking? Why should I sign it?”. I said angrily.“As I said earlier, I don't have time for your silly attitude, and neither do I have the time for this rubbish”. He said in his fierce voice, yet I refused to be moved by it. He got angry and landed a slap on my cheek while making his officers force me into signing the undertaking.“Get lost!”. He said after I signed the paper. I just angrily stood up, while gulping my spit in pain.“This way!”. T
Epic 40“Isn't this Mother's number?”. I said while looking at the strange number.“Which of the mothers?”. Dinma said as I looked at her in surprise.“Aunty I suppose. Alex's mum”. I said, terrified.“You can never be too sure. I mean, this is a new line, how possible is it that she has my number already? Please sister, I am not ready to laugh at your drama. Let's just go to bed, whoever that is calling, if it is that serious, then, the person should call back”. Dinma said while covering herself up.“It is fine. But, I will still have to cross-check because I know what I am saying”. I said while taking the number and inputting it into my phone. Just before I could even complete typing the number, my Aunt's name just popped up.“I knew it!”. I exclaimed, while almost waking Lisa up.“You knew what?”. Dinma said while still sleeping off gradually.“She is alive, that evil witch”. I said out in pain as Dinma turned and looked at me “It's late”. She whispered and continued sleeping.“Are
Epic 41.I had to hurry home immediately because of Dinma's call leading to Lisa's sickness. My heart was uneasy as I got scared, hoping that nothing had happened to my daughter.“Oga hurry up now!”. I said to the driver while tapping my hands on my lap scared.“Madam please don't disturb me, can't you see that there is a traffic jam? Do you want me to fly?”. The driver said rudely.“Please hurry up, that's all I am saying. My daughter's life is at stake”. I mumbled.“And so? I lost my daughter three days ago. Please! Let's not bring our family problem here, please! I am not the one holding you”.“Why would you say such a thing?! Because you lost your daughter, another person should lose hers right?”. Attacked one of the passengers. Others also followed suit. I just observed them, without even uttering a word again. It was a thing of grace that the driver didn't get skinned alive by the furious man who sat beside me.“All these stupid drivers that don't have sense”. Finally said the f
