Chapter Two

While the rest of my fellow inmates were struggling to use the toilet, I found a corner bunk in the room and rested my head on a small blanket in the bed and before I knew it, I slept off.

Did I tell you I was the only well dressed person amongst the whole seventeen of us? Well, yes, I was. The rest were either thugs or almajiris. Their clothes looked dirty and their bodies smelled awful.

I can’t quite tell how long I’d been asleep before the heavy bang on the door woke me. Two smartly dressed armed men walked into the room and asked me to follow them. I wanted to protest at first, but, what choice did I have? I got out of bed and followed them. I was led through the corridor we followed earlier housing the cells on both sides until we got to the staircase that led upstairs. I was expecting it’d lead to the hall where I saw the airplane earlier. But, rather, it led to a corridor of some sort; 6mtrs in diameter and almost 100mtrs long. There were many doors on both sides along the corridor with armed soldiers guarding each of them. We walked until we came close to the end of the corridor, the soldier standing in front of one of the doors to the right swung it open and I was asked to go inside. I reluctantly entered like a sheep heading for the slaughter.

I’ve been taking orders from these men like a little boy since I became their captive, something I hated so much in my normal life; taking orders. I had no choice. You can’t argue with the man with a gun my dad used to tell me. He served in the military and even fought in the Civil war on the Federal side. He’d tell stories about how deadly a gun is. How a little boy with a gun can tame many old men with slings and cutlasses. Seeing these guns up close and remembering those stories, I had no choice but to be in my best behavior.
I walked into the room and behold, it was an exquisitely furnished little room with a king-size bed, a bedside fridge, a television with cable network, an air conditioner and a bathroom. There was also an intercom which I was told is connected to the kitchen on which I could order whatever I wanted to eat and I’d be served.
I couldn’t believe it. I was asked to feel at home and get as much sleep as I desired before the sultan sees me. The SULTAN?! “Who’s that?” I asked. The friendlier of the two soldiers that escorted me smiled and told me to relax as I’d find out soon. They walked out, the door was shut and I was all alone in the room.

I took a good look at every nook and cranny of the room to be sure all was well. To be sure that there wasn’t any trap and I wasn’t being watched. Everything looked good and OK. No traps. NOTHING.
The rapid twist of events kept my mind racing. I just couldn’t understand what was going on. Just yesterday, I was a 400 level student of the University of Maiduguri, department of electrical and electronics engineering and then got kidnapped in the most bizarre manner, suffered unusual discomfort in two long cruel journeys, slept in a crammed room and now transferred into a cozy room with five star facilities with the freedom to choose my meals….. What’s really going on? All these events in under 24hrs got me really, really confused.


Nice one..I need more of this

"Baanah, are you okay? " Aadila said she came back to her senses from her wild imagination. That was what she wished had happened: Kill the b-tch!

"I am okay. " She said. " I am not a killer Adnan.... "

"It is Hayat. "Adnan said. " I am not leaving you with my wife. "

"I think I will be on the alert this time. "Naairah said, glaring at her.

"I will leave the room."Baanah said with an innocent face, "you hit me first."

"Enough of that. Come out Baanah."Aadila said.

They all left the room. Baanah and Aisha went and sat on a pew.

Aadila and Adnan moved aside.

"So? "Aadila said.

" I don't get you mum. "

"Now that your wife is pregnant, what is going to happen? "

"We will pray for her Safe delivery. And we are going to celebrate."

"So what happens to Baanah? "

"I don't know what plans you have for her."

"Are you saying the wedding is cancelled? "

Adnan raised his eyebrows.

"I thought that was automatic. That is certain."

"Adnan, she is your cousin and my niece."

"I know mum."

" What do you want me to tell people? "

"I never intended to have another wife and the only reason for bringing her was because my wife was thought to be barren."

"But we are not sure of her condition yet. Can her womb..... "

"There was no complications in her womb. It was just about bad eggs but it seems the eggs are good. I am not getting married mum. Tell them that our genotype don't blend.
Or I am psychologically unbalanced. Just anything, put the blame on me, just say anything but let me be happy with my wife mum. Let us not get sentimental."

Aadila knew she could not convince him.

Baanah had to go back.

The ring was so beautiful and classy, almost like the one i gave to Jordan. I removed the ring from the case and said "Jordan? What is this?". I could see the discomfort in his eyes when he saw the ring, he frown childishly and said "OMG i did not plan for you to see that, how did it get to your hand? You are such an obstacle to my surprise package".
The word surprise ring a bell in my ear. I remembered how khole's proposal came as a surprise, i could not help but think about Jordan's surprise as a proposal. "wait.... Did you just say surprise? Don't tell me you want to propose right now" I said. Jordan walked up to me with a smile and said "what if i want to propose right now princess?".
I sniffed unconsciously and said "you can't propose to me right now. Are you planning on proposing to some other girl?" Jordan laughed for a while before he said "some other girl? No because you are the only girl i know and you are all i ever wanted. So tell me what is wrong with proposing right now?"
I fixed my gaze on him for a minute trying to find out if he was serious or not. I could see the seriousness in his eyes, so i quickly searched my head for an excuse to reject his proposal without hurting him because i was so not ready to get engaged at that particular moment. "Ehm, you can't propose now, we still have a long way to go. You know am still serving, i need to get a Job and settle down before thinking about marriage" I said. Jordan hummed and said "you and I know that you can't come across any difficulty in getting a job. But if you feel that you are not ready, its fine"
Jordan's expression made me feel as if i had hurt him, so i moved closer to him and apologized.
He smiled weakly and said "Honestly, its fine baby. I wanted to propose in the middle of dinner that night, that is why i felt so rejected when you did not show up. But thank God you did not, this is how I would have been rejected. Its all good, i will give you all the time you need".
I smiled and held Jordan so close to myself, deep inside of me, i felt as if i had hurt someone that loved me.
"Time to leave miss. Stop squeezing the live out of me" Jordan said and i hit him playfully, releasing him from the hug.
I carefully put back the ring and packed other things before we finally left the hospital.
The drive home was quiet, Jordan did not utter a word throughout. Not until i offload his belongings and i told him i was about to leave did he open his mouth. "why do you have to leave now? Thought you will stay with me". Jordan said.
I kissed him lightly on the lips and told him, i had somewhere to go. He insisted on knowing the place and i told him, i was going to see the Stanleys. He said "Ohh, please send my regard to them" I noded and gave Jordan a quick peck before leaving.
I was just about to leave Jordan's street when my phone started to ring, the caller I.D was kelvin so i connected my earphone and accepted the call. "Hey dear, where are you? You are not at work" kelvin said. I smiled and said "looks like someone has been monitoring me. I went to see a friend, am on my way back tho".
" you wish. Just send me your house address, i need to take you somewhere" kelvin said. "But am heading somewhere, maybe next time you can take me there" i said. Kelvin bluntly refused and after much persuasion i agreed to go with him and i sent my house adress.
I turned the car around and went home.

**********************
I had a quick shower and wore a simple dress (a flowing short gown). I applied light makeup and wore a matching shoe and bag. I packed my hair and satisfied with myself, i settled in a couch waiting for kelvin.
Less than five minutes later, i heard a loud horn at the gate. I hurriedly informed my foster parent that kelvin had arrived and i went out to welcome him. Kelvin looked dapper in a simple round neck and a jean trouser, his dimple made him look so cute. He greeted my foster parents politely and we both left in his car with security men following us in another car.
Kelvin took me to a five star shopping complex. Everything at the complex carried a high tag. Kelvin shopped alot of thing for me, even though i told him i would not be needing most of them. He would pull me and put different dresses on me to know if they are my seize while i would try to free myself, telling him i do not like the dress. He would then tell me that he likes it on me and wink before placing it in the shopping basket. After shopping, we got big bowls of ice cream hand in hand and we settled in a chair to lick. Kelvin will sometimes act naughty and stain his lips with the ice cream while cleaning up for him, he would stain my face with it as well. I had lots of fun with kelvin. Adults behaving like a child.
We were still licking from the ice cream bowl when i heard someone scream "Nancy!" from behind.I turned back and the spoon fell off my hand!
