This Abdul self

KngGezy:
From the first chapter i can boldly say

This is a satirical story about the dangers of illegal migration through the desert and sea.

An issue that has and is still bedevilling this country

It is a pity that despite the costant awarness on the dangers awaiting these illegal immigrants.

Thousands continue to emigrate leaving this country in search of greener pastures.Which most of them end up not finding.

I must commend the writer whose style of writing. I love so much that i follow his works.

It is important that this story is put on the front page. As this is what we need to see. Not Celebrities with little or nothing to emulate from their fake lives

Chapter Twenty One

Andrew slowly snuck to the front of the cave and peeped, the coast seem clear. He could hear the rumbling and roaring of the giants from a afar. Without hesitation, with his hands on his side, he ran taking the adjacent direction.

He came to where he had packed, looked around the vast land with nothing in view save for the blue sky and the mountain behind him and started towards the direction he had driven from earlier with an intention of going to the camp to save Susan. Tripping and standing up, looking behind him at intervals as he ran.

Boko's two men had killed Mutum and his brothers, they cut off their heads and hung it on a stake.

Looking back at the mountain Boko said to the men. " let's go and search that cave and get anything we can lay our hands on".

The three walked back to the cave and when they entered, perceived human flesh. They began sniffing around searching for the source of the smell.

One of the giants with Boko picked up Andrew's used improvised bandage piece of clothe, sniffed it and called the others attention.

" blood! It must be around here somewhere!".

They began an intensive search.

Boko followed a smell out of the cave and saw Andrew's foot prints. " he has escaped!". He said looking at the direction Andrew took. " but not far!". Then he turned to the two who just joined him outside. "Liq and Zixta. Both of you go after him, he hasn't gone far enough. He saw us and mustn't disclose our existence to man! Now hurry!".

The two men began following Andrew's footsteps sniffing as they walked.

Andrew was some 30 poles away and completely oblivious he was being followed. He continued his staggering through the sand looking around to ascertain his bearing. The night was cold and Andrew had just an oversized long sleeve top and baggy trouser the giants had given him which he supported with a rope on the waist with nothing on his feet. He suddenly remembered he had no water. " shit!". He cursed and made to return but thought of meeting the giants, he then continued.

One of the giants, Liq spotted Andrew and called Zixta's attention. " there! It is there!". Pointing towards Andrew who was now slowly making his way through the sandy desert.

Zixta immediately took off, chasing after Andrew and Liq followed from behind.

Andrew heard thudding sound and thought it was the wind, but when he turned to his back his heart almost left his chest; the very biggest giants men he had ever seen in his life where running tenaciously towards him. He stumbled and fell in shock. Stood up and immediately and started running.

Each time he turned to his back they were closing up really fast on him. He increased his speed pushing as hard as he could ignoring the rising pain on his side.

The giants men were now closer. Andrew knew he wouldn't make it but he said In his heart. " not today, not today". Even though he didn't believe what he had said due to every odds were against him.

Something big like a house from the sky landed in front of Andrew, it was Zixta, he had jumped his way to Andrew's front.

Andrew dropped on his butt looking hopelessly at the gorilla looking mountain of a man. As he moved away from Zixta, his back hit something solid, he turned and looked at a massive feet and followed it up to the smiling face of Liq who bent and snatched him up in a sweep.




Susan followed Abdul silently as the walked down the busy street. She didn't bother to scream or hesitate, she just followed sheepishly.

They took a bend and got to a door. Abdul looked both sides before knocking on the door. There was no response, he looked around carefully again and knocked severely. Then door flung open; a slim average man with an eye closed and a missing right leg with a crutches under his right armpit, in shirt and trouser stood at the door looking at them questioningly.

" is Ramah around?". Abdul asked in Arabic.

The man looked at Susan and asked Abdul.

" who is asking?".

" his friend. Tell him neck breaker!". Abdul replied.

The man winced and then suddenly smiled. He opened the door wide and his face widened to a large grin. " Abdul the neck breaker! Come in!".

Abdul came in with Susan locked in his hand following from behind. The man closed the door and hugged Abdul. Abdul was surprised but said nothing.

The man broke the embrace and smiled sadly. " it's me, Ramah". Then he shook his head." Lost an eye and my leg in the battle field".

Abdul eye widened and his jaw dropped. His heavily built friend, with long hairs and full beards had changed, looking slim, shaved in low cut.

Back in the day, they were in the military and were known as fearless friends. Both friends were always in the front in any battle as though they had spared lives.

The name was given to Abdul the day they were ambushed returning from a battle in their military convoy. Bullet rained on their van on different directions. The team returned fire, some were hit in the process.

Abdul jumped down shooting in his usual fearless manner, and Ramah joined him encouraging the rest of the team to follow. Soon Abdul ran out of bullet and two enemy were fast approaching with gun pointed at him, he dodged the gunshot fired at him, rolling towards the men, leaped over in their midst, took out his dagger and stabbed one in the thigh, stood up swiftly, elbowed the other in the face and grabbed him by the neck twist it and did same to the one he stabbed before he could reach for his gun. Few seconds later he was standing and the men lying on his feet dead. That was how ' the neck breaker' was given to him.

" it's okay, come in my brother". Ramah said tapping Abdul's back leading him into the house.

They sat in the empty sitting room with wooden chairs and calendar on the wall, a picture of a heavily built bearded man, dressed in a beautiful military uniform and muffler around his neck standing with a riffle laid on the wall. A wooden table laid by the side of a narrow entrance into the house where a little boy sat looking at Abdul and Susan with a wondering look on his face.

" Isa, go in meet your mum!". Ramah said to the boy as he sat on a chair and dropped his crutches beside him.

Abdul was still looking at his friend. " what happened to you? You have changed!".

Ramah smiled. " I changed right? They threw a grenade in our van. I was lucky to be alive. The rest of the team died". Ramah said and turned to Susan. " your wife?". Then his eyes fell on her bare feet.

" no, not really". Abdul said.

" what happened? You just disappeared after those men came for you". Ramah suddenly changed the topic.

" So sorry brother. I was too-too busy". Abdul said. He looked at Susan who sat silently and turned to Ramah. " I'm in a little hitch. I need a car to get out of here".

Ramah's face lighted interestingly as he sat up. " what happened?".

Abdul took a glance at Susan who caught him eyeing her. " She's pregnant for me. And they wanted to kill her, I intervened. I killed a brother in the process. She's my concern".

" who is after her?".

" it's a long story brother. The guys I work for are dangerous men". Abdul said hastily.

Ramah looked at the window. Stood up and went to shut it. Returned and took his seat. " you're safe here for the night. Tomorrow you can go. Eat, rest, no one can suspect you are here".

Abdul looked at Susan and turned to his friend, nodded and smiled. And they began discussing on a lighter mood.

Usman's team had arrived with three other vans and 17 men. They had hauled the bodies into a van and stood as Usman instructed them.

" we have to get Abdul and that female dog. We will search everywhere, every house, every street. Ask questions, threaten, kill so long as we get them. I want him alive. Not dead, alive! And the bitch with him...". He paused and thought of what to say. " ...bring her to me. I'll have a special treatment for her. Now go! Don't come back if you don't have Abdul!".

Usman stood looking as the men jetted out in search for Abdul. He grabbed his pistol, kissed it and entered one of the vans and four men followed him.

Chapter Twenty Two

Ramah, his beautiful young wife with an impressive long hair and his two sons; five and twelve years, with Abdul and Susan sat at the dinning table eating supper. They laughed and chat as they ate except for Susan who concentrated on her rice and stew source because she couldn't understand a word they were saying.

" do you remember when that bull dog chased after Ibrahim and dragged him on his butt? How he shouted and jumped like a frog. He wanted to be brave like his papa". Ramah said to his wife and the whole family laughed their lungs out.

"He is always doing stupid things. I told him his papa is brave not stupid". Ramah's wife said looking at Ibrahim who was blushing.

"he is a man! He shouldn't be afraid anything!". Ramah said to his wife, slapped Ibrahim in the back lightly and laughed.

Abdul had not had such a good laugh in years, he was having the best time of his life with his friend's family.

Isa, the youngest poured water on himself trying to drink from a glass cup.

" hey...be careful!". Ramah said looking distastefully at the boys wet shirt.

The mother took the cup from him and dropped it on the table.

" that is your upcoming soldier!". Abdul pointed out.

" I told my wife I need eleven boys!". Ramah shouted in laughter.

" from which person?". Ramah's wife retorted jokingly.

"you offcourse! My manhood is filled with boys!". Ramah shouted.

They all laughed again and the evening seem to be going on beautifully well.

Outside of Ramah's house, some few blocks away Usman's men were escorted by a young boy who stopped and pointed at Ramah's house.

"when I was his age, I had started carrying gun". Ramah said proudly nudging his first son Ibrahim, on the shoulder.

A knock startled them, Abdul looked at his friend sharply and Susan spilled the water she was drinking.

" are you expecting anyone?". Abdul asked.

" don't worry, could be the neighbour". Ramah said grabbing his crutches.

He went to the window and peeped. Then he turned to Abdul and pointed sharply for him to go into the house. Abdul stood up immediately with Susan. Ramah's wife led them inside while Ramah went to get the door. He opened and looked at the three men in a plane countenance.

" greetings! How may I help you?". Ramah said unconventionally.

One of the men peeped inside from where he stood and the other with him said. " bring out the man and the lady with you and we won't hurt you!".

Ramah looked confused. " bring who?".

" for the sake of your family, bring them out now !" The other added.

" I don't have anyone here except I and my wife". Ramah lied.

The first pushed him out of the way and he fell with his crutches. Ibrahim ran to him and helped him up while Isa looked from the dinning.

The men looked around the house and the first pointed for the second to go in.

Just then usman's jeep arrived and packed at Ramah's doorstep. The men stopped and waited for Usman to come in.

Meanwhile Abdul and Susan where in the inner room with Ramah's wife. She opened the window for them to escape and handed them the key to a black Hilux. Abdul climbed through first and Susan followed. They were about to take off when one of Usman's men caught them made to fire but Abdul shot him first and alerted everyone.

Usman looked around sharply and yelled. " get him!".

The three men ran into the house, one pushed Ramah's wife aside, looked through the window and saw one of their men bending beside the one Abdul had shot. He looked up and said to the one in the window. " he escaped through the window".

Usman looked ominously at Ramah and said under his teeth. " you're dead". Looked at Ramah's children and added. " and your little urchins if i don't get him!".

The men returned with Ramah's wife. One holding her by the hair said to Usman." she led them out through the window".

Ramah while standing with his crutches dipped his hand under the table and grabbed a pistol. Shot one of Usman's men and the other made to fire, Ramah beat him to it, shot him in the head. Ibrahim threw a cup at the third who made to fire and he missed his shot dodging the cup, Ramah fired and hit him in the chest, aimed at Usman but he had already escaped outside.

Ramah immediately shut the door. " go in! Run!". He told his sons". And limped with his crutches into the house.

His wife was trying to pass his children through the window when he entered the room.

" hurry up! Go! Go!". Ramah said hastily.

His wife passed the kids over and joined with them. Abdul wanted to follow and the sound of the door opening startled him. " go!". He yelled at his wife and turned towards the door with his pistol in hand.

The door of the room burst open and he fired and killed a man. Then hopped without his crutches to hide at a vantage position behind the door, so I could see who comes in first.

Gun held steady in his hands, his eyes fixed on the door ready to fire at anything that comes through it.

" i have your wife and children!". Usman's voice echoed from outside.

Ramah felt a wave of cold passed through him. He rushed to the window, peeped through the curtain and it was true. Usman held his wife by the hair with a gun pointed to her head while she knelt in front of him crying with her hands on Usman's hand on her hair. Two men held his boys by the shoulder.

Ramah thought of shooting Usman from where he stood but there were more men to finish his family up. He sagged his back on the in defeat.

" surrender or I kill them and burn you alive in that house!". Usman bellowed.

Ramah dropped his gun. " let them go! I have surrendered!". He shouted.

The door slowly opened and four men surfaced pointing guns at him, he looked at them with no slight fear but anger, wishing he killed them already.

Abdul and Susan had covered some distance when Abdul suddenly stopped the van and looked behind him thinking. Susan stared at him wondering what he was up to.

He reversed the van and started back to Ramah's house.

" what are you doing? Where are you going!". Susan's voice was laden with immense apprehension.

Abdul ignored her and drove as fast as he could swerving through people and cars, knocking down tables and running over ropes for hanging clothes.

Susan feared he may want to return back to Ramah's and her fears became overwhelming when a large cloud of smoke was seen ascending into the sky at the route to Ramah's house. Abdul increased his speed knocking down anything on his path.

Then he arrived what used to Ramah's house that was now in flames and neighbours making futile attempts to remedy the savaged situation. He jumped out of the car and tried to run into the fire but the hot flame resisted him. He looked around like a deranged man, ran to collect a bucket and joined the group pouring water into the house but it seemed the fire was fueled by the water.

That was how all his attempts to remedy the situation proved abortive. He was the only one still pouring water in the end and the house collapsed before his eyes.

Abdul knelt absorbing the dust and smoke from the house. His mind was overflowing with rage, he could see himself killing everyone member of the gang and skinning Usman before roasting him alive as he looked blindly in the fire.

Indeed the name that rings bell!

My tragic moments have been when Sandra died in my madam and I series...that thing pain me. In the same vein when it was voiced out that Abdul ate from the pot of Susan. ...oh I felt pain! Topher you are genius ...you indeed know how to balance comedy and tragedy in your story. A good writer is difficult to predict. Well done sir

Sandra in Devil's touch did not die rather she was strong and determined. People died for her sake eg Bruno the police idiot that goes after everything under the skirt.
