However, just as they were engrossed in their discussion, John's phone began to ring, startling both of them. John quickly retrieved his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number, but curiosity got the better of him, and he answered the call. "Hello?" John said, his voice laced with curiosity. The voice on the other end of the line was gruff and urgent. It was the school gateman, who spoke in a hushed tone. He informed John that there was something important he needed to discuss, something that couldn't be explained over the phone. He urged John to meet him at a specific location near the school. John felt a sense of urgency as he said goodbye to Onome, his mind preoccupied with the short call from the gateman. He hurriedly made his way to the designated meeting spot, where he found the gateman pacing nervously. "Gateman, what's going on?" John asked, his voice filled with concern. "You seem quite agitated." The gateman looked around cautiously before speaking. "John, I've heard things. Someone else knows about what happened to your cousin, Bella. They claimed to be a teacher, but I don't know if I can trust them." John's eyes widened, his heart pounding in his chest. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, and he realized the significance of this new information. "A teacher? Are you sure? What did they say?" The gateman glanced around once more, lowering his voice to a whisper. "They said they have important information, evidence that can shed light on what really happened to Bella. They asked me to pass on this address to you. They want you to go and meet them." John took a deep breath, his determination resurfacing. "Alright. I'll go and talk to this teacher. We need to uncover the truth and bring justice to Bella's memory." With a nod of agreement, the gateman handed John a piece of paper with the address written on it. John studied it for a moment, committing it to memory. He knew that taking this step could bring him closer to the answers he sought, but it also meant delving deeper into a web of secrets and potential danger. As he turned to leave, John glanced back at the gateman. "Thank you for reaching out to me. We'll get to the bottom of this, I promise." The gateman offered a small, nervous smile. "Take care, John. Be cautious. This is bigger than any of us realize." With those parting words, John left the gateman behind, his thoughts consumed by the upcoming meeting with the mysterious teacher. Uncertainty filled the air, but John's determination remained unwavering. He was determined to uncover the truth, not just for Bella's sake, but for the peace of mind he desperately sought. Little did he know that this meeting would unravel a web of secrets that went far beyond what he could have ever imagined, ultimately leading him on a path of danger, redemption, and the revelation of long-buried truths. |

As the call ended, John closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face. The weight of guilt and the pain of deception washed over him, threatening to engulf him entirely. He knew he had chosen the path of hiding the truth to protect his mother from disappointment, but it felt like a betrayal, a fracture in their bond. In that vulnerable moment, John allowed himself to feel the rawness of his emotions. He mourned the loss of honesty, the strain of carrying a secret, and the deep longing to be truthful with the person who loved him unconditionally. It was a heavy burden to bear, and he questioned whether the sacrifice was worth the toll it took on his soul. But he was a man and sometimes being a man involved making some very difficult decisions, So John wiped away his tears and steeled himself for the challenges ahead. At some point his life would make sense and maybe then He’ll have the courage to tell his mom the whole truth but that day is not today. As the morning progressed, John found solace in the routine of his work. Judith arrived early, her presence bringing a sense of camaraderie to the warehouse. They exchanged nods and smiles, understanding the unspoken bond they had formed in the short time they had worked together. Together, they attended to the clients who visited the warehouse, assisting them with their inquiries and showcasing the imported items with pride. John's attention to detail and knowledge of the products impressed both Judith and the customers. They worked in harmony, silently communicating with each other, ensuring that each client received the best service possible. Midday approached, and just as John was engrossed in attending to a particularly meticulous customer, Mr. Thompson made an unexpected appearance. The sound of his voice caught John's attention, and he turned to see his employer standing there, his presence commanding respect. Mr. Thompson greeted them with a warm smile, pleased with the atmosphere and the work being done in his absence. He explained that he had to embark on a business trip to Abuja and would be away for a couple of days. John listened attentively as Mr. Thompson entrusted him with the responsibility of managing the warehouse in his absence. With a nod, John acknowledged the trust placed in him. He assured Mr. Thompson that he would handle everything with utmost care and professionalism, ensuring that the business continued to run smoothly. Deep down, John felt a surge of gratitude for the opportunity and the confidence his employer had in him. As Mr. Thompson bid them farewell, he reminded John to reach out if any issues arose and assured him that he would be available for support even from a distance. With a renewed sense of purpose, John watched as Mr. Thompson left, leaving him and Judith to continue their work. The rest of the day passed in a blur of activity. John and Judith carried out their tasks diligently, attending to clients, organizing inventory, and maintaining the overall operations of the warehouse. Although their conversations were few and far between, a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding grew between them. At around 4 pm, just as John was about to wrap up his day at the warehouse, a familiar face entered the premises. It was Onome, the lady with the nose ring whom John had grown quite close to through their conversations on WhatsApp. Her arrival brought a sense of warmth and anticipation to the air. Onome greeted John with a radiant smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. They exchanged pleasantries and engaged in light-hearted banter, their connection growing stronger with each passing day. It felt as if they had known each other for much longer than they actually had. As they sat down to talk, John couldn't help but admire the way Onome carried herself. Her confidence and individuality shone through her unique sense of style, including the nose ring that had caught his attention from the very beginning. They engaged in deep conversations, sharing their dreams, aspirations, and the challenges they had faced in life. With each passing moment, John realized that Onome was more than just a pretty face. She possessed a depth of character and a compassionate spirit that drew him closer to her. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, revealing shared interests and experiences As Onome settled into a chair, she shared with John and Judith that she had just come from her nursing school. She expressed her passion for healthcare and her determination to make a difference in people's lives. However, her enthusiasm was tinged with frustration as she delved into the current challenges facing the city. Onome couldn't help but voice her concerns about the recent hike in fuel prices, which had a ripple effect on transportation costs. She explained how it made commuting more expensive and difficult for ordinary citizens. The trio engaged in a conversation about the impact of government policies on the daily lives of the people. Judith, listening intently, nodded in agreement. She chimed in, sharing her own experiences and observations of the hardships faced by individuals and families in the city. They discussed the rising cost of living, limited job opportunities, and the need for sustainable solutions to alleviate the burdens on the populace. The conversation grew more animated as they delved deeper into the societal issues plaguing their city. Each of them had their unique perspective, fueled by their personal experiences and aspirations. They spoke of the importance of raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting one another in times of adversity. As John and Onome stood up to leave, John turned to Judith and asked her to watch over the warehouse while he stepped out for a moment. Judith nodded in agreement, assuring him that she would take care of everything in his absence. With that settled, they made their way out of the warehouse, exchanging friendly banter as they walked down the street. The city buzzed around them, its vibrant energy creating a backdrop for their conversation. |

>>>>>>CHAPTER FIVE(5)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< As the morning light seeped through the window, John woke up from another night of deep sleep. He stretched his limbs, feeling the remnants of dreams fading away. Although Bella hadn't appeared in his dreams lately, he decided not to dwell on it too much and focused on the tasks at hand. With a determined spirit, John rose from his bed and set about cleaning the room he had slept in. He tidied up the sheets, fluffed the pillows, and ensured everything was in order. As he moved about the room, he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the simple yet comforting space that had become his sanctuary. Once the room was immaculate, John made his way to the kitchen area to warm up the leftovers from last night's dinner. He found solace in the familiarity of the routine, appreciating the small joys of a warm meal to start the day. As he savored each bite, he allowed his mind to wander, contemplating the possibilities that lay ahead. With breakfast finished, John took a moment to collect his thoughts. Today was a new day, filled with opportunities and challenges. He reminded himself of the tasks that awaited him at the warehouse, the customers he would serve, and the ongoing mission to uncover the truth about Bella's life. Leaving the room, John locked the door behind him, securing the space that had become his temporary home. As he made his way into the warehouse, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. The familiar routine of opening up the warehouse, checking inventory, and preparing for the day's business awaited him. He unlocked the doors, allowing the sunlight to illuminate the space. The familiar scent of the warehouse, a combination of wood and furniture polish, greeted his senses. It felt like stepping into a world of possibilities, where dreams could be built and stories could unfold. As John opened the warehouse, his phone buzzed, signaling an incoming call. Seeing his mother's name on the screen, he felt a mix of emotions. He knew he couldn't avoid her forever, and the time had come to face the consequences of his actions. Taking a deep breath, John answered the call, trying to sound composed despite the turmoil within. His mother's voice filled his ears, a mixture of concern and relief. She expressed her worry, mentioning how she hadn't heard from him in days. In that moment, John felt the weight of his deception press heavily upon him. For a brief moment, he considered telling his mother the truth, to open up about the challenges he had faced and the path he had chosen. But the fear of disappointing her, of shattering the image she held of him, overwhelmed his resolve. Instead, he found himself weaving a web of lies. In a trembling voice, John reassured his mother that everything was fine. He claimed to have been engrossed in his exams, assuring her that once they were over, he would return home. Each word he spoke pierced his heart, knowing that he was feeding his mother falsehoods. |

John didn’t like that, he wasn’t one for much talk and he prefers a quiet environment where he could focus on one clear objective, but maybe it’s a skill that would come in handy when dealing with potential clients. As the day at the warehouse drew to a close, John and Judith found themselves tidying up the workspace together. The thought of the vacant room crossed John's mind, and he turned to Judith, "Hey, Judith, I was wondering if you were planning to occupy the other vacant room here in the warehouse?” Judith paused for a moment; "No Actually, Mr. Thompson did offer me the room, but I won't be staying here. I already live with my family in the city." "Oh, I see. That makes sense" Judith nodded, her expression warm and friendly. "My family! we live in the city, not too far from here. So, there's no need for me to stay at the warehouse. But I'll be here during working hours, fully committed to our tasks and responsibilities." John smiled. "That's great to hear….I guess that’s all for today. It’s 5:00 so your first day of work is complete. You are free to go " “Okay thanks, I had a great first day I’ll get going now, see you tomorrow and I promise not African time- 8 Am sharp I’ll be here…bye John” “Alright see you tomorrow” Judith was close for the day but John still has a thing or two to take care of before he could call it a day…Back to being just him and enjoying the peace and quiet of being the only soul in the apartment John began working on the end-of-day report. He focused on organizing the inventory records, double-checking the sales figures, and ensuring all the necessary documentation was in order. Time seemed to pass quickly as he immersed himself in his tasks, the quietness of the warehouse providing a sense of tranquility. After finishing the report, John stood up and stretched, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He glanced at the clock and realized it was getting late. With a deep breath, he locked up the warehouse, ensuring everything was secure before turning his attention to dinner. As he made his way to the small kitchen area, John contemplated what to prepare for his meal. He gathered the ingredients he bought at the market just yesterday, rice, egg, cooking oil, some vegetables, rice, and some spices. Cooking had always been something he enjoyed doing and he though he was no master chef he was by all standard a decent cook. As he chopped vegetables and seasoned the rice, the aroma of the meal filled the air, enveloping the space with a comforting and inviting scent. John couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as he stirred the ingredients together, his mind briefly escaping from the challenges he had faced in the recent past. As John savored each bite of his dinner, his thoughts wandered to Bella. It had been several days since he last saw her in his dreams, and he couldn't help but wonder about the significance of her absence. The dreams had become a peculiar connection, a thread that seemed to tie their stories together. As he contemplated the circumstances surrounding Bella's untimely death, John's curiosity grew stronger. He felt a need to unravel the mystery, to understand the events that had led to her tragic end. While he couldn't change what had happened, he believed that uncovering the truth might bring some closure to his own restless thoughts. Finishing his meal, John cleared the table and sat back, lost in contemplation. He wondered if there was any way he could gather more information about Bella's life, the struggles she faced, and the reasons behind her unfortunate fate. Memories of their encounters and the mysterious connections they shared replayed in his mind, urging him to seek answers. With determination in his eyes, John made up his mind. He would embark on a quest to gather information, to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding Bella's life and death. He knew it wouldn't be easy, and he might encounter obstacles along the way, but he couldn't ignore the pull of his curiosity and the need to understand. Reaching for his phone, John began researching. He scrolled through social media platforms, local news articles, and community forums, searching for any traces of information about Bella. He read about the stories of young lives lost too soon, the struggles they faced, and the ripple effects that lingered in the aftermath. As the night wore on, John immersed himself in his quest for answers. He realized that by seeking the truth, he was not only honoring Bella's memory but also uncovering a deeper understanding of the world around him. He felt a responsibility to shed light on the untold stories, to give a voice to those who had been silenced by circumstances beyond their control. As John prepared to sleep that night, thoughts of Bella and his search for answers filled his mind. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was much more to her story, that unraveling the truth might reveal not only the reasons behind her untimely death but also the potential for change and redemption. John closed his eyes, ready to continue his journey—both in the waking world and within the depths of his dreams. He was prepared to face the challenges and uncertainties that lay ahead, for he believed that by seeking the truth, he could bring light to the shadows and find solace for his restless soul. |

As John was engrossed in his tasks at the warehouse, he heard the door open, indicating the arrival of what John supposed was another customer. He looks up to see a young woman stepping inside, carrying a notepad and pen. She wore a friendly smile on her face, exuding an air of enthusiasm. "Hello there!" she greeted, extending her hand towards John. "I'm Judith, your new assistant. It's great to finally meet you." John shook her hand warmly and returned the smile. "Nice to meet you too, Judith. Mr Thompson informed me you’ll be coming in today around 11 but it appears you’re on “Africa time”. “I’m sorry sir, I promise it won’t happen again” “It’s okay, you’re welcome make yourself comfortable John pointed to one of the empty sit just opposite his desk. I trust Mr Thompson have informed you on everything we deal with and has your role detailed to you right? “Yes sir but I wouldn’t mind going over some details with you, I want to fully understand my duties so I can carry them out diligently” John leaned back, trying to make the conversation more casual. He noticed how nervous she’s been since he made that comment of her working with “African time” he didn’t want to make her feel like he’s an over bearing colleague so he tried to change the direction of the conversation. “Well I’m sure you’ll do great and I try to help in anyway that I can okay, just relax and observe you’ll see the job isn’t too difficult and most of our clients are very please people. He could sense her relax a bit, “So, Judith, tell me a bit about yourself. What made you interested in working here?" Judith leaned forward, eager to share her story. "Well, I've always had a passion for design and interior decoration. I love how a well-curated space can create a certain mood and atmosphere. When I heard there was an opportunity to work in a warehouse with such amazing items, I couldn't resist!" John nodded in agreement. “You’re right and I like your enthusiasm I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunities to showcase your creativity and help customers find the perfect pieces for their homes or offices." John continued, "So, as my assistant, you'll be an essential part of this operation. We'll work together to make sure everything runs smoothly. From managing inventory to assisting customers" Judith nodded her head to show she understands everything John had said. As John and Judith continued their conversation, John noticed a slight change in Judith's demeanor. Concerned, he leaned forward and asked gently, "Hey, Judith, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how have you been holding up after the passing of your father?" Judith's smile faded for a moment, and she looked down, her voice filled with a touch of sadness. "Thank you for asking, Sir. It's been tough, to be honest. Losing my father has been one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. But I'm trying my best to stay strong and take it one day at a time." John nodded sympathetically. "I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. If there's anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to let me know and please call me John. It’s just two of us working her I don’t feel the need to be so formal” Okay si…okay John With all the formalities out of the way John took the rest of the day to teach Judith the roles, everything she needed to know about the warehouse, how to take inventory and whom to call should they need to make large deliveries. Judith was a fast learner and John was impressed by how quickly she picked up things working with her was ping to be fun except for the fact that she was a chitchat. John didn’t like that, he wasn’t one for much talk and he prefers a quiet environment where he could focus on one clear objective, but maybe it’s a skill that would come in handy when dealing with potential clients. |

>>>>>>>>>>CHAPTER FOUR(4)<<<<<<<<<<<< With every passing day, his determination to uncover the truth grew stronger, and he vowed to follow the breadcrumbs that would lead him closer to unraveling the enigma surrounding Annabella and his own haunting dreams. If only he new where to start. As John went about his daily tasks at the warehouse, he noticed a well-dressed gentleman entering the premises. The man had an air of sophistication, and it was clear he had refined taste. John approached him with a warm smile. "Good morning, sir," John greeted. "How can I assist you today?" The gentleman returned the smile and replied, "Good morning. I'm in the process of furnishing my newly built house, and I've heard this warehouse has a fantastic collection of interior items. I'm here to explore and make some purchases." John's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "You've come to the right place, sir. We have a wide range of options that can cater to your preferences. Whether you're looking for furniture, decorative pieces, or lighting fixtures, we can certainly find something to suit your living room." The gentleman nodded appreciatively. "That's exactly what I need. Quality items that exude elegance and style. Price is a consideration, of course, but I believe in finding the perfect balance between affordability and aesthetic appeal." With that, John and the gentleman engaged in a lively discussion about the various items available in the warehouse. They explored different designs, materials, and colors, carefully considering each item's suitability for the gentleman's living room. As they walked through the aisles, John showcased different pieces and explained their unique features. He shared his insights on how each item could enhance the ambiance of the living space and create a harmonious atmosphere. The conversation flowed easily between them, filled with light-hearted banter and genuine interest in finding the ideal pieces for the gentleman's home. John's enthusiasm and knowledge impressed the gentleman, who appreciated the dedication and attention to detail. After much deliberation, they finally narrowed down the choices to a few select items that captured the gentleman's vision. John carefully noted down the specifications and prices, ensuring that every detail was accurately recorded. Before parting ways, the gentleman extended his hand for a handshake. "Thank you, John. Your assistance has been invaluable. I appreciate your patience and expertise in guiding me through this selection process." John shook his hand warmly. "It's been my pleasure, sir. I'm glad I could help you find what you were looking for. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out." With that, the gentleman bid farewell and left the warehouse, leaving John feeling a sense of fulfillment. He took pride in providing exceptional service and helping customers find the perfect pieces to transform their living spaces. |

| Literature › Re: Shadows Of Redemption by Magnetic010(op): 6:32pm On Jul 02, 2023 |
Judging from the photo on the school ID card and the fact that he just learnt that she was in SSS1 what terribly thing could the poor child had done that was so unforgiving to warrant such ridicule from a lady who was suppose to see to their educational and mental welfare. “Yes, you wouldn’t believe what that little girl was into- she brought shame onto herself, her family and the entire school and when the truth came out about what she had done she took her own life” “Just imagine she sent herself straight to hellfire to continue her immoral acts with Lucifer and his demons” John didn’t know if he had been transported to a different time and realm when he stepped into the head teacher’s office. “How the hell did you get to become the head teacher of this school? John bloated out he couldn’t stand it anyone, “ You…you are evil” John noticed his hands trembling the anger cussing tough his veins needed to find a way out and if he didn’t control himself he might do something very very distract. “Lower your voice young man, this is not just a school but also the house of God, we do not condole such unruly behavior” Unruly? Unruly?? John was getting more than irritated, “what is unruly is you talking such crap about a dead young girl” The head mistress remained seated in her chair, given off an aura of pride and accomplishment like she had achieved what she needed to with John, seeing John so rattled and out of source she decided to go for the finishing blow. John is it? I understand how all these must be confusing and a bit overwhelming but like I pointed out earlier this is a Christian school and every child in here is expected to behave in a way and manner that glories the name of your Lord and savior Jesus Christ. She Opened the Big bible in front of her desk carefully searching for a chapter and once she’s found it she turned the book to John and motioned him to read. It was the book of Corinthians chapter 6 then she said read from verse 9 young man and see what the holy book says about your cousin and her likes. So John read it and he began the grasp why she had hailed those cuss on “his cousin” and the realization made him even angrier. So the poor girl was exploring her sexuality, is that why the school had condemned her to death and hell. Then the image of Annabel crying flashed in his head, she telling him she didn’t do it, that nobody believed her. His heart froze what if? What if she didn’t do these things she is being accused of, what if she tried to plead her case and nobody believed her? What if she got expelled from he school and she felt alone and frustrated? For a little girl of about 13-14 how could she deal with such a big accusation and having no one on her side no one who for a second believed that she was innocent? Just like my case in school. He didn’t know it but tears were gathering in his eyes as these thoughts filled his head. He couldn’t hold back anymore and the tears rolled down his eyes. Because he understood how it feels to be innocent and have no one believe you, to have all your dreams cut short because of an allegation to have the entire world turn on you and to see the disappointment of the face of your parents. He knew the feeling and if he hadn’t been as strong as he was he would have done exactly what Annabel did just to end the pain. He wiped the tears from his eyes looked the head teacher straight in her eyes “This is all your fault, you killed her” The head mistress twitched nervously on her chair, John noticed how uncomfortable she got it was as though she was trying desperately to hide her face from him but he could see it. Guilt! She felt guilty for something and it must be something regarding the poor child’s suicide. “Sir….s..ir” she stammered the confidence and pride with which she had called him young man all along was gone and she was visible trembling. Now for sure he knew something was amiss in the girl’s death. He stood up and walked out of the office, there was nothing left to discuss with the woman she was hiding something and whatever it was he was going to find out and help the poor girl clear her name…”she didn’t do it” if no one else in the world believed her, he did he knew deep within his soul she was innocent and he was going to proof her innocence. “Don’t worry Annabel I will fight for you, your death won’t be for nothing. I swear it with my last drop of blood I will fight for you” When he got to the school entrance the gateman whom he had shared a little joke with earlier studies his face and asked him if everything was fine. John reached to his back pocket brought out the ID card and showed the gateman. The young man jumped and called her name “Bella” ha na your sister? John nodded “Ooh dooh hai wetin them do that girl no…. He stopped himself before letting another word slip John took note and said his and decided to get any information he could from the gateman “My sister tell me say you dy always dy nice to them for hostel you even they help them carry things when mumsi bring come” John hope that his made up tale was somewhat true and would get the gateman to open up even just a little bit The young man smiled “Yes na, I know your sister well well na very very good girl she no dy find trouble at all she dy always dy do her own and she sabi book well well- but I no come know o this one them say she just kill herself and e come be the day when the camera no work so nobody even sure how e take happen” Oh my God CCTV John had noticed the presence of CCTV cameras when he entered the school, if she had committed suicide there must be video evidence unless it took place inside the room. He had to be sure “Bros where them for see my sister body na inside her room? Nooo for inside swimming pool, them say she jump inside swimming pool for night when water no dy ooo. Just imagine oo wetin go make Bella do that kind thing na…Bella!! ha John thought maybe this was why the head teacher was so nervous. The CCTV choose to not work on the day of Bella’s death and judging from the gateman’s accretion they circumstances surrounding her “suicide wasn’t clear” He exchanged contacts with the gateman offered him money for being so good to his sister whilst she was alive but he gracefully refused and asked him to extend his condolences to their parents. A sinking feeling settled in John's chest as he realized that there was more to this situation than met the eye. Something was amiss, and the headteacher's reaction only intensified his suspicions. Though disappointed by the lack of information, John knew he couldn't push any further without jeopardizing his cover. Meanwhile back in the office, headteacher felt a sense of unease settling within her. She knew she had to take action immediately. Reaching for her phone, she dialed a number she knew by heart. It rang several times before someone finally answered on the other end. "Hello?" a concerned voice responded. "Hello, it's me," the headteacher said, her voice filled with urgency. "Someone just came to the school asking about Bella. He seemed determined to find out more." There was a pause on the other end of the line, and the headteacher could sense the tension. The person on the phone knew exactly who she was talking about. "Do you think there might be trouble?" the voice on the phone asked, filled with concern. The headteacher sighed, her voice trembling slightly. "I can't be sure, but something doesn't feel right. I had to be cautious and give away as little information as possible. We need to stay vigilant and protect the truth." The person on the other end of the line understood the gravity of the situation. The thought of the past being unearthed stirred a mix of fear and determination within them. "We can't let the secrets be exposed," the voice said firmly. "We'll have to be proactive and take the necessary measures to ensure the truth remains hidden." The headteacher nodded, even though the other person couldn't see her. "Agreed. We have to protect the school, the students, We can't let anyone jeopardize what we've built here." They knew that the truth could have far-reaching consequences, not only for themselves but for everyone involved. As they hung up the phone, the head teacher felt a weight on her shoulders. The responsibility to protect the truth weighed heavily upon her, but she was determined to uphold the integrity of the school no matter the cost. |

As John delved into his fabricated tale, the headteacher's expression changed subtly, a flicker of discomfort crossing her face. She seemed taken aback by the sudden mention of Annabel's parents, and John could sense a tension in the room. The headteacher hesitated for a moment before responding, carefully choosing her words. As John continued his conversation with the headteacher, hoping to gather more information about Annabel, he sensed a palpable shift in the atmosphere. The headteacher's expression grew somber, and her voice trembled as she revealed a heartbreaking truth. She informed him that his cousin died of suicide! The news struck John like a thunderbolt, and he felt a wave of sadness wash over him. Questions swirled in his mind, wondering what could have led to such a tragic outcome. Trying to maintain his composure, John probed further, asking if there was any way he could reach out to Annabel's parents or if there were any alternative contacts available. The headteacher's demeanor became even more guarded, her eyes avoiding direct contact with John's. “Do you know why your cousin commit such an ungodly act?” No ma John replied. “You see, this school is a Christian boarding school, known for its academic excellence and strong moral values. Your cousin, Annabel had been admitted to the school on a scholarship, our Daddy in the Lord provided opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to receive quality education and pursue their dreams.” “But given the opportunity to have the best of education and mingle with blessed children your cousin allowed herself become a tool for the devil” What? John was dumbfounded at the manner at which this respectable looking matured lady could speak so terribly about a dead little girl. |
