Chapter 19 cont'd ___________________________________________________ The lady dropped a currency note as usual and gave him the food, soon she sat by his side.. Jason was quiet, he wondered who she was, why she had been so good to him for the past three years. Humans had always caused him griefs but this young woman different. As filthy and smelly as he was, she would still sit beside him, but one thing was for sure, she wasn't happy.. "who are you?" Jason initiated a conversation after a long time " hmm, you finally broke you silence after a period of over three years, that's not manly of you " " please forgive my rude acts "Jason smiled briefly and continued wondering how humorous she seemed to be" you re a God sent to me, I just want to show how appreciative I am. Thank you, whatever you name is...... "he was about to round off his Thanksgiving session when the lady cut in" Aliya, call me Aliya ". Jason heart felt the warmth of her voice, she had a good voice, good name and a good heart,he liked her already. " thank you Aliya " he concluded. " but what is your name, Mr thanks giver? " " my name? " Jason gave a confused expression, he had forgotten his name after a long period of test and trial of fate. Besides, no one had ever asked of his name so it was useless. He quickly traveled down the memory lane, he remembered his mother had called him" Jason love"... "That must be my name " he thought. "Jason, my name is Jason" he smiled.. "nice name you have got, but what took you so long?......" Jason was Indifferent, he wondered what was nice about a name he had already forgotten. "..... Perhaps you don't like me that's why you took so long " she continued with a long sigh which Jason didn't notice.. Jason feigned not to have heard what she had said but he knew she was totally wrong He had liked her, her voice was tender, her heart had reached out to him and riches and wealths oozed from every part of her body,,jason wished he could see for a second just to catch a sight of her although he had already drawn a sarcastic portrait of her in her brain. He already liked her.. He quickly cast the thoughts away, who was he to have a feeling, he was just a beggar anyways.. Even if wishes were horses, Jason already knew which to ride on.. "but why have you been good to me, I mean why are you here at this hour just to bring me food.? I'm sure your parents would be worried" Jason quickly ask for that was a perfect moment to debate. "Hmmm, well Jason, you need what I have in abundance, and I need what you have plentifuly.lets just say we are exchanging, like a trade by barter" Jason was flabbergasted, he gave a sarcastic smile as what she just said made no sense to him. "how do you mean ? "Jason asked on. He had nothing to offer her, she could get whatever she needed, judging from her smell, she had the scent of great wealth. " Hmmmm, my parents are nonchalant, my mother is a business woman who travels round the globe, my father works in Lagos and I don't even know what he does. He hardly comes home" Aliyah said in a very sad tone which depicted how lonely she had always been as she continued "I have always been lonely, I stay with the maids and guards and they bored me to my bone and marrow.. But ever since I met you, I have been a bit happy, hearing you voice alone gives me warmth, your song is alone to kill my loneliness" Aliyah concluded as she began to sing Jason's song. Jason was overwhelmed, he was completely amazed for his song was being sung by a total stranger, a rich lady was interested in his sobering song.. But the his mind flushed back to what she had said earlier "my father works in Lagos". Jason was confused, did it mean he wasn't in Lagos, he was born and raised in Lagos, he remembered being strangled in Lagos but how come he wasn't there anymore? "what state is this?" he asked. Aliya was surprised but she answered "Osun state" "what, Osun state! " he exclaimed. " what happen, are you okay? " " I'm fine, I mean I will be fine. Never mind " Jason said in a murmur. He knew Osun state was miles away. He didn't know that he had been carried to his current location by the fierce flood, he had also crawled further through the thick forest for three days to where he was now. " I must leave now" Aliyah said repaterating him to his senses "we shall see tomorrow" she concluded.. "thank you Aliya, please be careful on your way" he said as the lady went on her way... |

Dedicated to my new followers..... Wildchild1, Rapoo, queenitee, RoyaleR, Cyberrex, germaphobe, Matrycx. And others who are yet to comment but read.. Chapter 19 cont'd _____________________________________________ It had been five years of total darkness for Jason, he had been a blind beggar on the the market path. Jason's greasy overgrown hair fell over his wide, innocent eyes. His hands, once pale but now covered with dirt reached up eagerly as people passed by with hopes to be given some money or food as the case may be. Jason, now fifteen years old, was a sorry sight to behold as he sat by the side of the road, an old mug half-filled with naira currency firmly grasped in his hand. Covered in grime, there was dirt in every part of his papery skin, his skin was rough and already peeling off. He hadn't even taken his bathe for roughly six years.. People could smell every sorry meal he had eaten in the last weeks, so strongly that they could almost feel the annoying taste of the discarded bones he had either taken from the trash or stolen from dogs and stale crumbs of food he scavenged in some families' waste bins. Jason looked Derelict, scummy and annoyingly stinky, the children called him '2 face' because he sang almost every minute, but it was only a particular song he had sang with his mother. The song they had sang together in tears before she was consumed by death.. The fifteen year old Jason had been saving up for his surgery, he had heard from a market woman that one of his children had regained his sight after a surgerical operation in the theater.. Jason was determined as ever to have his sight back amid any arising difficulties.. As blind as bat he was ,, Jason had the pictures of his mother and Tony, his baby brother. If they had been together, he knew Tony would have been seven by now but fate had taken him away from him. He also had the images of those facinorous men embedded in his cerebrum, he was now determined to live, have his sight back and take revenge, not only on them but on their families, their generations would pay dearly. He was determined to completely erase them all from the earth surface. Thanks to them, he now had the reason to live, he would now follow the voice that always screamed in his head "kill them all!"... It was on a particular evening, the weather was glacial as usual, however, Jason was not disturbed by the weather as he had to carry on his business, he was used to it anyway. Every night he had been there for five years in the unending torments of the cold and mosquitoes begging for alms. He heard the foot steps of a person coming towards him. Jason had developed a great sense of hearing, he could hear from meters away, what people were saying. Since he had lost his vision, he resorted into building his sense of hearing. Soon, the steps were moving nearer to him, he quickly sprang up for he knew whose steps they were, the lady had been coming every night for the past three years. She had been giving him money and feeding him every night,To Jason, she was God sent, but they never talked for once. She would drop the money and food, sat beside him for a while and left.. Soon, Jason's desperate voice rang out, his voice was so small and tiny, it was simple yet heartbreaking statement, "could you please spare some naira? ".... |

Dedicated to Matrycx........... Chapter 19 cont'd ___________________________________________________ The next morning, Jason opened his eyes but couldn't see anything, everywhere was dark. It was very weird because he could feel the morning sun rise, the bird had begun singing, the monkeys were gibbering and the eagles scream.. He knew the night was long gone, but why couldn't he see, was was his sight blank?. He closed his eyes rubbing them with his fingers, slowly he opened them but he still couldn't see anything.. He had lost his vision. Jason was quiet, he cursed God for creating him;for not letting him die permanently, why did he save him only to rob him of his sight.. Now he felt inept;he felt incompetent, miserable and useless. He pondered for a long time at the river bank, soon he started moving. He knew he was in a very dangerous forest, he must leave as soon as possible if he didn't want to become a royal meal for the beasts. Even if he was going to die, he didn't want a brutal death, he didn't want to be torn apart by wild animals. It was dangerous to remain here :he crawled away from the river bank, then stopped for a while and then continued , exhausted and weak ;the pain was so severe that it was killing him. Jason couldn't see, he could only hear the sound and noises of animals, we was weak and glacial but he crawled on and on. He hoped he didn't crawl into the paths of hungry wilds..like a snail, he moved with extremely slow pace but every crawl sent a pang of pains all over his body.. While Jason crawled through the forest, ravens, vultures, crows, lacks and own accompanied him, there were hoping to pick out the thin filaments of flesh covering his bones, but the unclad boy didn't stop, he moved on and one, one step at a time.. Across the stinking, mosquitoes - infested swamp, he could hear the howls of wild wolves. Eventually, after the longest day of his life, darkness fell, he wanted to give up, perhaps died in the jungle, but something kept him going, it was a voice in his head scream "kill them all'... Although Jason wished he had been permanently exterminated by those wicked men instead of dying in the godforsaken forest in the godforsaken unknown place, he still went on and on.. For two days he didn't eat anything surviving only by drinking from the endless torrent of rain. On the third day, Jason was about to give up when he heard the noise of marketers, he knew he was almost there, nearer to the market place. He was more determined, not because he hoped to be helped with sympathy by them, of course human beings have always caused him harm, but because he was free from the wilds. Soon, he crawled into the market environment, Delirious from illness and exhaustion, Jason collapsed... |
