True Life Story, Things We Do For Love No One Can Imagine !!! by DiegoNakel(m): 8:31am On Oct 21, 2015 |
Touching Story. About three phones have gone missing
in our room in the past five months. When we reported
to the School's security, they only told us that it was a
roommate that is responsible. Everyone of us in the
room was waiting for the day we will catch the culprit.
Last Tuesday, when we were all asleep; I think it was
about 2 am, Ben woke up suddenly and his phone was
gone. His phone was the most expensive of us all.
When Ben woke up and couldn't find his phone, he
sprang up from the bed and quickly opened his
cupboard. He rummaged the contents, even removed
his clothes but could still not find the phone.
I was in the room when it happened; sitting and
reading before I dozed off with my heading resting on
my books. So when Ben couldn't find his phone, he
gently shook my shoulders until I woke up. 'It has
happened again', he told me.
I didn't even need to ask what happened as I could see
the panic and loss written in his eyes.
This is the second time his phone had been stolen. So I
took my phone and dialed Ben's number; just to be
sure it had not been misplaced. 'Error in Connection'
was what I saw on the screen of my phone. I dialed it
again and it started ringing not just on my phone, but
the actual ring tone of Ben's Samsung phone was
faintly audible.
We were both surprised when we heard the tone. I
beckoned on Ben to keep quiet as he was visibly ready
to 'finish' the person who took his phone. I continued
dialing as we moved silently, following the direction of
the ring tone. There were four bunks in the room, each
with two bed spaces. Ben and I use the same bunk just
beside the door and the sound was coming from the
last bunk at the extreme left corner.
We tiptoed, Ben and I, like Jack Baeur until we traced
the sound to the top bed space on the last bunk. 'So it
is John who had been stealing phones in this room'.
Ben whispered to me.
We shook his leg and woke him up only to find out it
was not John sleeping on the mattress. Neither of us
had ever seen the guy before. To make matters worse,
the ringing was coming
from the bag he was using as pillow.
When he woke up, he looked at us strangely as if he
didn't know why we were there.
We opened the bag and found not just Ben's
Samsung, but three other phones. 'So, you are the one
who's been stealing our phones!'; Ben shouted at him.
Before he could find an excuse, Ben slapped him on
his left cheek and walked out looking for anything to
break one or two of the guy's bones. I don't know; but
there was something about the guy. So I asked him,
'Oga, what are you doing here?' 'What are you doing
with Ben's phone'. He was just looking at me without
saying anything, so I slapped his right cheek with my
left hand.
'ANSWER ME!', I screamed at him; waking up the
roommates who were around. John had obviously
gone to night class to read and I assumed the other
three roommates who were absent had also gone to
read.
The two guys remaining in the room with me and Ben
came and gave their own round of slaps. The accused
was now staggering when Ben came back with a long
wood hard enough to kill the guy. As he raised it up,
the three of us, the roommates, held his hands so he
wouldn't murder the accused. Ben dropped the wood
and swept his right leg against the thief's legs and he
fell down. Ben had told me before that he had attended
the Soldiers' recruitment training but failed the medical
test. I believed him right then.
I looked at the guy crumple on the floor and before
Ben killed him, I decided to interview him, at least to
know who he is. He was now sitting on the ground
where he landed from Ben's force. 'Who are you?' I
asked him again; this time gently. He was crying but it
was only the tears that were coming out. It was then I
realized he had not even uttered a word since it all
started. Not even when he fell to the ground. 'Why are
you in our room'? I asked again. 'Can you even talk?' He
shook his head then. I was now confused. Why was he
shaking his head?
So, I asked again, 'Can't you talk?' He shook his head
again. 'Wait, is it that this guy is dumb?', I asked the
guys.
The guy then nodded his head and pointed to his
mouth and then shook his head left to right. It hit me
then. The guy is dumb but not deaf. That was the first
time I am seeing a case like that.
My anger changed to pity immediately. 'Are you
dumb?', I ashamedly asked the guy to confirm. Again,
he nodded his head.
'Can you read and write?' He nodded again. 'Get me a
pen and note!' I said to my roommates over my
shoulder. I collected the pen and wrote on the note,
'Who are you? Explain yourself.' I was almost in tears
as I read his fine handwriting, 'My name is James, I am
John's elder brother. I am a student of Delta State
University. I was traveling to Delta but our bus stopped
for the night at Benin. So I decided to sleep with my
brother till tomorrow morning. He brought me here
around 12 am and went out to night class to read. He
gave me the bag to keep for him. So I decided to use it
as pillow so that it won't be stolen'.
I held the note with the guys at my back as all of us
read it. I became so weak I almost fell.� 'The guy is
innocent.' I needlessly announced.
When we realized this, even I was ashamed of myself.
Ben just stood there with the wood he almost used to
hit him, looking as if he was the one who had been
beaten. I am not sure, but I think I saw tears in his eyes
as he realized he had just punished an innocent man.
So we knelt down; Ben and I, we knelt down and
clasped our hands so he will know we were really
sorry. With tears in our eyes, we told him, 'We are
sorry. Sorry for accusing you wrongly and beating you
for it'. The dumb guy just smiled with bleeding lips
from the blow I gave him. He smiled and looked into
our eyes. And I could see pity in his eyes. He smiled
and shook his head and then wrote in the same paper.
'It is Alright. I took the pain willingly. Please don't beat
my brother anymore. I knew why you were beating me.
John had always been a thief, right from home. But
please don't report or beat him again'.
Tears dropped from my eyes as I read his sacrifice. He
deliberately allowed us beat him just so that John will
be free. I lend my hand and raised him up as I used my
cloth to wipe the tears from his face and blood from
his lips. It was then my own tears flowed from the
corners of my eyes.

So touching..but John should stop stealing before his family go down for it. I think he should advice John on the consequences |

Eeyah. But you can't continue to live in the room with a thief. Please don't do as his brother said. Beat him and advice him. Let him know you're aware that he has been the culprit. |

This is why jungle justice is not good: some victims were forced while some were deceived, and it might be too late before they realized. #saynotojunglejustice# |

IamLEGEND1: Word. John's crimes has multiplied. His offences read thus 1. Stealing 2. Framing someone for the theft 3. Not just anybody but his brother 4. Not just any brother but Elder brother 5. Not just an elder brother but one who is physically challenged 6. Allowing us to slap the brother 7. Allowing us to 'kwack' the brother 8. Allowing us to almost kill the nigga |

Touchin story indeed.. I think you should confront John and advice him. See how he almost got his elder brother killed. Btw, op, I'm eager to know what happened when John got back from night class and realised everyone knows the real thief. |
