************************************************************************** Chapter 19 Dr Deji pushed the gate open and walked towards the building. He turned the knob and the door flung open. Liz was waiting for him, all set for their trip. He stopped in the doorway to take a moment simply to gaze at her. She sat on the couch near one of the windows, staring out at the remnants of the day, her back to him. He was overwhelmed with that incredulous feeling of guilt in the pit of his gut, the disbelief that he had agreed to help send an innocent woman to jail. He moved his eyes over her, taking in her simple braids and the way she packed it simply in a pony tail at her neck, the way her blue dress fit beautifully, the way she sat so still, so straight, oblivious of the danger that lurked around the corner, so close to her. Everything about her shouted kindness, virtue. Why the h*ll had Ella chosen to punish her this much? He pushed the thought away and moved towards her. She was lost in her own thoughts. He touched her shoulders and she jumped with a start. “Sweetheart, I’m back.” She turned to him and he kissed her lightly on the lips. “How is your dad?” “He’s getting better, thanks.” He answered, the feeling of guilt reared its ugly head again and he pushed it back. “You still don’t bolt or lock the doors when you are inside!” he had warned her about the dangers of leaving the gate and doors unlocked during the day, when they are in. She only believed in locking the door when going out. “I’ll be more careful. I promise.” She said with a smile. “Are we still travelling to Lagos today?” Deji sighed and looked at Liz apologetically, “I have wasted so much time with my visit to Dad, but our flight is very early tomorrow morning. I’ve already booked a hotel room for us around Ikeja. If you are set, I think we should leave now.” “Well, it’s sort of...late, and Mama has been sceptical about us travelling to Lagos this late, especially when you don’t reside in Nigeria and you may not be too familiar with our roads” A smile tugged at his mouth and he drew her to himself. “ I have arranged for a driver to drive us down. His name is Dino and all I need is to give him a call and tell him where to pick us.” Liz cocked her head, studying him. the way he thought amazed her. “You always have everything covered, don’t you? I bless the day you came back to my life.” He shrugged and put his hands in his pockets, he quickly withdrew his right hand when it touched the cocaine. He was too scared to leave it in the car. “I love you so much, Liz, and I really want to assure you I’m always there for you.” He brushed her cheeks lightly with another kiss and bent down to pick the suitcase that lay at her feet. “By the way, where is Mama? I thought you said she was here.” “She left a few minutes ago. Tobi is starting his exams next tomorrow and he forgot to take some of his books along to my brother’s place, so mama offered to take the books to him there.” “Sweet mother.” Dr Deji whispered. Within minutes, they were set, all doors and windows locked. “Please call the driver.” Liz reminded him. Dr Deji brought out his cell phone and dialled Dino’s number. “Please meet us at the toll gate in fifteen minutes.” *************************************************************************** 3 Likes 2 Shares |

*************************************************************************** Deji stood behind her as she handed her ticket and passport to the beautiful desk clerk at the counter, a sense of urgency and impending doom pressing in on him. “Are you checking that in?” The lady asked, pointing at Liz’s suitcase. “No, it’s the only bag I have and I’m taking it with me on the plane.” The lady weighed her suitcase and tagged it, then she handed back her passport, ticket and boarding pass. “Have a wonderful trip ma.” She said with a smile. Liz smiled and stepped aside for Dr Deji to check the big bag in and collect his boarding pass. He smiled back and handed his passport to the lady. He was visibly shaken. He turned his head towards the departure hall entrance and Dino waved at him. He was torn between the devil and the deep blue sea. 'If you don’t put it in her bag, they will find it on you'. Ella’s words echoed in his ears as they moved away from the check-in counter. They still had over one hour before boarding, but he didn’t feel comfortable having weird Dino staring at him, watching his every move around the lounge. He moved closer to Liz and took the suitcase she was pulling along. “Let me help you with your bag.” “No! You have your own bag, besides, I enjoy pulling it around. Where are we going now?” “Em...em...we are going towards em...the boarding gate...terminal now. We’ll go through immigration and custom check.” The words felt heavy in his mouth, and the feeling of guilt became overwhelming. It’s either me or you, one of us is going to be nabbed with drug today, he thought. “Fine.” She said with an innocent smile, basking in the euphoria of travelling abroad. Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated in the back pocket of her black jeans. She checked the caller ID and smiled. “Tobi, how are you?...we are heading towards the plane o...ha, your exam slip and school id card? Ta ni ki n fun? Ha!” She was almost shouting into the phone. “What is it, Liz?” Dr Deji asked, all eyes on them. “Tobi ni o, he left his id card and exam slip in this suitcase and his junior waec starts tomorrow! He wants me to drop it with someone here so my other brother that lives in Lagos will come pick it and send it through a public transport.” Dr Deji suddenly pulled her hands, drawing her closer to himself.“Tobi’s slip is very important, let’s abort this trip and drive back to Ibadan right now.” He turned around and saw Dino staring hard at him as if he overheard their conversation. Damn the consequence, he thought. Liz had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she wanted to go back to Tobi and Darasimi, to be there for her children. On the other hand, she was this close to travelling overseas and he must have invested so much on the trip. “No way, Deji, I think we should go on this trip. Please, I really will love to.” She pleaded with her eyes. “Are you really sure you want to go on this trip?” Deji asked, different thoughts running riots in his mind. Liz took his hands and smiled reassuringly, “Yes, I really want to.” She rummaged through the suitcase and pulled out the brown envelope with Tobi’s slip and ID card. ,“Let me have your suitcase. I’ll wait here while you look for someone you can hand it over to, so we can call your brother and tell him who to look out for.” "Can we go look for someone together? You know better than me. I don't want to go where I'm not allowed to o, please." Liz pleaded. A part of him hated seeing her go through that stress, but the other part had a plan to carry out. "You are a woman, you stand a better chance of getting someone to help you than a man. Especially in this bomb era." She nodded in understanding. "I understand, let me go alone." “Thanks for understanding.” He stretched his hands towards her suitcase and grabbed it fast before she changed her mind. She handed him her suitcase with a smile and headed towards the door. Dr Deji smiled and pulled the suitcase towards a vacant seat. *************************************************************************** 2 Likes 1 Share |
