TORN 8




..... Tears and more tears rolled down the cheeks of the two brothers..I wondered why my eyes still felt dry... I felt dizzy for a moment..but I still managed to stir away from Kachi's tender grip.. I wanted to look at his face, to see how he feels killing his father... For a moment I thought if he did the right thing or not...if he should have done something else about his psychopathic father instead of murdering him.
I looked at Abuchi, I figured for sure he has something going on in his sleeves.. He had stopped crying and paced lesser now... He seems like he wants to make up his mind on something.

.. "I learned the school authorities hired a detective who is currently in this school to track your activities.. quite a lot on you is already on paper..They are now working towards real evidence " ...Abuchi said.. Looking sternly at kachi

"..Who is they??" Kachi enquired... " The detective is more than one?? " he asked again looking very tense.

Abuchi scoffed... He definitely has a lot to say..but it seemed he was taking his time..probably because of me or maybe because he didn't want to get kachi all worked up.
I sat still all these while wondering how I got in the midst of all these. How a beautiful Saturday became so exhaustingly eventful..so much that I couldn't place where to start from. I began thinking why kachi wasn't surprised his brother knew me... Does it mean he already knew who I was from the onset??.. Was that why he insisted we stayed together on that very day I came for registration.. My mind drifted a bit

.. I remembered it was in the Admin block.. I was done with registration.. I had even been assigned a hostel.. The whole money my poor single mother gave me had been reduced to just 5000 naira and I was wondering how long that kind of sum will take me... I strolled down the pedestrian path of the senate building heading towards the bus stop...

"Hey, freshman"...?? A voice said behind me..

I turned to see a very clean and attractive guy standing behind me smiling... That was the very first day I met Kachi!!.. He was so soft-spoken and kind.. He tried to help me find my hostel and equally made some frantic efforts to dissuade me from staying there.

" Those hostels are so bad for even rats to live in" ..he told me as we got down the tricycle.

Well, you are definitely right...I said.
Now standing in front of my assigned PROFESSOR DIKEH's hostel in its glory..sorry GORY!!..

Kachi had personally brought me there himself... All the while telling me how a mess the hostels are and why I should look for someone to stay with off-campus...
Looking at my hostel then..I couldn't say he lied.

Even though I want to.. I don't have the money to jointly pay for a house off-campus... I told Kachi

"Don't worry...You can come and stay with me" He said.. grabbing my bags... "Forget about the rent for now.. I will handle it." He added.

Are you also a fresher?? .. I asked...obviously because Kachi is a bit older than I am.. And more mature looking.

"Yea" ... He replied... Looking at me like I should have known.

I followed him home that day and that was how we became roommates..and ever since then.. I have never paid for anything in our apartment.. Both utilities bills or groceries.. Even when I wanted to.. Kachi will frown at me so hard and at some point..keep malice with me throughout the day.
Anytime I paid any bill in his absence.. He immediately gives me back the money.. Even when I never told him I paid for it or requested for the money.. He will somehow find out and will insist I take the money back...and when I refuse.. He keeps malice with me till I bulged.

Kachi had been so good to me all the while but I couldn't bring myself to like him wholeheartedly .. Well maybe not anymore...at least I knew the hate level had drastically reduced at that point... I have finally started to realize all the hate I felt for him was not real... I couldn't place it as love.. But I know I felt peace and safe with him... It's a state I have never been asides with Abuchi.. Ever since Abuchi left for Canada..I have never been that important to someone except kachi.
But what if he was acting up??.. i thought.. Something in me was telling me there was more to him than met the eye..and with the revelation on the ground...and possibly more that I didn't know of..and the fact that he wasn't surprised Abuchi knew me..I began to suspect............'

"Robo ske ske... robo ske ske..if no be you then tell me who ooo " ... My phone began buzzing! ... Bringing me out of my dilemma... It was an unfamiliar number on the dial.

In front of me was Abuchi toweling himself.. He had even gone to shower and I didn't even notice...He stared at me and when our eyes met.. He took his off... I needed no angel to tell me he was hiding something...like he was feeling guilty of something.
Kachi still held me close to him in a sitting position.. but a quick stare at his face showed he was far gone in thoughts.. Even the buzz coming from my phone the second time couldn't bring him out of his thoughts .. I stood up and picked my phone ... Still adorned in kachi's shorts, I threw in my loose T-shirt and went out the corridors to receive the call...

"Hello," the voice on the other end said.. It was a deep tensed voice..it sounded a bit familiar

Hello.. I replied already getting pissed with whoever it was..

"DES.. It's me Nedu...." He said... Sounding more tensed...

I was a bit surprised how he got my number... Maryann never gives my number out to anyone without my consent no matter how important it was... Or did Nedu snooped through her phone to get it?? .. Why was he even calling me anyway..??
It then hit me!!.. The invite to the guest house.. 'Mtcheew'..I hissed in my mind...that was the last thing in my head at that point with the whole tension and mystery going on.

'Listen Ne... ' .... I cut myself short immediately at that point realizing kachi could hear me calling Nedu's name and it won't make the situation any better... I unconsciously turned around and met the dreamy stares of Abuchi on me through the half-opened door.

I immediately felt scared.. The look was bringing back a lot of memories.. The good times we both shared.. How he will come to my desk and stare at me to erection whenever he was having our class. The moments he will take me out on a date and make sure I try out new foods... How he looked scared the very first day I asked him to make love to me.. I just wondered why he had to leave without notice... I felt depressed for weeks after his departure.. More depressed when I got his text that read.. "Kamsi... I am now in Canada..This is not goodbye as I will be back whenever the need arises...take care of yourself and try to move on with your life" ..
I knew Abuchi had plans to travel out.. But to leave without saying Goodbye to me physically was heart-wrenching... and then he resorted to 'serving me breakfast' through a text message..phew! I couldn't have witnessed a darker time!!.

"Are you there DES??" ..Nedu asked after I was taking long to respond..
..can't he just figure out I was not in the mood for anything right now??!! I nearly cursed him out.!!

"DES there has been an incident" Nedu was saying in an unusual tensed voice.. I wondered why he was tensed...

What incident...?? I asked, rather calmly ..my eyes were still on Abuchi who was now smoking .. I never knew he smokes...his eye looked teary..I knew for a fact he had a lot to explain to me.. Somehow I couldn't believe I missed him this much...

I took my eyes off him and started thinking how quiet Kachi had been since the whole time...whatever he was thinking was eating deep into his heart... I started to feel I needed to be there for Kachi.. I couldn't place if it was me having emotional blackmail or I genuinely felt the need to be there for him..with everything that was happening it was hard for me to decide what I actually felt..
That moment for me was scary...I was losing my cool cause my intuition kept telling me something was not right... I had racked my brains trying to figure out what it was..to the point I was momentarily losing my sanity..and just almost at the same time, I lost grip of my phone as Nedu blurted out from his end....


"Mary has been kidnapped!!"

TORN 7


... It was the 8th day of March.. I thought..Yes,.. I had to be sure I got the accurate date.. But what I couldn't place was why that day chose to be so eventful... I haven't had to deal with so many unexpected occurrences in one day.. Yet, quite unlike me, I did... I had managed every situation I met on that same very day so well... But with Abuchi right in front of me, I literally needed oxygen.

"Who is at the door DE..?? " Kachi asked.. I could hear his footsteps advancing towards me... What would I tell him??.. That Abuchi was at the door..?? Or how I got to know Abuchi.. ??Or how he magically appeared at our doorstep??... How can my day get so complicated..As in even if...


" Buchi!!.. " Kachi exclaimed calmly immediately he came to sight with Abuchi.. He seemed so shocked and uninterested to see him as they both managed a handshake. 
... What I clearly deduced was that they both know each other.. But how??  .. Was what eluded me.

"Eem.. DE.. This is Buchi.. My elder brother.. Buchi. That's Desmond, my roommate. " Kachi said, scoffing a bit after he did the introduction..like it wasn't necessary...and from the look on Abuchi's face, he sure doesn't need it..

How could I have missed it.. The striking resemblance... Abuchi and Kachi have an uncanny resemblance almost in everything except in character..whilst Kachi possesses a very rough personality.. Abuchi Adorns a supposed title of a gentleman, perfectly.

"Onyedikachi, why didn't you pick my calls?? " Abuchi pointed out, sitting down on the only double sitters' sofa in the room.

"Same way you didn't tell me you were back from Canada, let alone visiting. " Kachi retorted,  reverting to his original self,  the shocked part of him that I just saw became invisible, and in, came a frown. 

"... No need to get all worked up onyedikachi.. It's just a harmless question.. Besides, I'm not here to pick a fight with you.. I'd like to think we have grown past that," Abuchi said with a smile..
He was still his usual self.. The only thing that changed about him was his fresher skin.. He was still in good physique... The faded scar at the side of his left eye is still there.. I still remembered the scent of his cologne.. It tried to bring back some memories and I immediately forced them down!... Those memories can only bring back hurts. I wondered how Abuchi managed the pretense.. How he pretended so well like he never knew me like I never existed... Just like the was he left me like a used tampon and traveled to Canada.

"How did you find my lodge,  and what are you doing here?? " Kachi asked,  the tension becoming very daunting I feared they would fight.

.. "Well, I came back from Canada as soon as I heard that... Erm... Cant your roommate excuse us??... I fear this issue is too personal and delicate. " Abuchi said looking oblique.

Kachi turned to stare at me,  his eyeballs mixed with Anger, fear, and tears.. I have never seen him this jittered before,  in as much as I would like to find out what was going on, I needed to give the brothers some space.  So I stood up.. And made for the door.

"Wait.. DE"... Kachi said, stopping me just an inch towards the door.. I turned to stare at him,  and he signaled me to come to sit beside him and just like a robot... I did.

I didn't know how I have had to manage the whole situation since Abuchi's arrival, I haven't spoken or been my normal self.. I just mopped and sat unshakable like a sculpted piece of art.
Kachi grabbed my hands as I sat... His palm shivered a bit...

."DE.. I mean everything I said to you this evening.. " kachi said with his eyes shut in regrets.. "Whatever happens.. Pls remember that.. " he added.

I wondered what truth Kachi was talking about.. And why he looked so emotional with shivers all over him.. I have never caught Kachi in that emotional state till then... He had been the tough guy for all the years I had known him, much to the admiration of many and displeasure of few, me inclusive.

".. And judging by the nature of my findings... it's not safe to divulge any information yet, especially to strangers"

...Abuchi was saying before I got out of my thought.  What is this strange talk all about??,  and hope Abuchi isn't referring to me as a stranger?. I thought... I tried to look at his face, it looks the same, it's the same face that had stared at me in the past with so much passion.. The same face that has kissed me to the point my spines started trembling... The same face that made sure I got out of grief in my worst moments, especially when I grieved about my Dad's shocking death by armed robbers while on transit
.....Abuchi's memories started rushing in my head unrestrained.. How nice he had been.. How we teased a female copper that did everything for his attention back then.. How he enjoyed making her Hot and leave her at the spot... How he enjoyed receiving gifts from her only to give them to me... How I made sure I stopped him from leading her on..How we both visited so many beautiful places...how he made a promise never to leave my side....
.. I was in the streams of nostalgia and then all of a sudden, Abuchi's stares shifted to me... He still had his smiles on,... It looked a bit stale.. But still charming, the dark patched scar on the left side of his eye, twitched in a shrink ... I remember he told me it was an accident... And that the broken windscreen of the vehicle gave him the cut close to his eyeball and he nearly bled to death...


"Kamsiyochukwu..How well do you know me.?? " Abuchi finally spoke to me, like the old times.. He calls me by my native name.. He hated calling me Desmond.. Said something about how the name reminds him of a dead relative.

..I stared sheepishly at Abuchi not knowing what to say or what was going on, his cute face made it impossible to figure out what was on in his mind.. Kachi's palm still held me tight.

"You see, kamsi... " Abuchi began.. Standing up this time to pace around the room.

"... Kachi is all I have got in this world,..We may fight and do all sorts of unpredictable things in life, but nothing equals to the love I have for him." I felt my heart shrink..I couldn't believe I still felt something for Abuchi.. It was even more painful as he had to let me know I was never his number one priority.

"... We grew up in a very different kind of way.." Abuchi stopped, stared at me, probably expecting me to say something, but words failed me... And he continued.

"We both didn't spend much time with our mother.. Of blessed memory" Kachi's head landed on my shoulder at this point as his tears soaked my body..

"She died the cruelest death a person could ask for.. Through Acid bath,.. He killed her and made it seem like it was a fire accident.. And everybody bought it.. Everybody, except me and Kachi..I guess that was our sin" Abuchi said cleaning his lower eyelid... He obviously was crying.

"We both got molested day and night, physically, mentally, and otherwise.. We both went through hell every passing day, from mental abuse..to assaults.. Hot iron blades and horsewhips became our companions if we ever resisted, disobeyed, or made attempt to speak up to anyone.. At a point, it metamorphosed from iron blades to real guns... I narrowly missed death from two gunshots on two different occasions while being tortured.. But not without the flesh wound it left me.
...Kachi and I found succor in many negative vices we could think of, we had no moral consciousness of anything good anymore, we became deadly,.. More like evil.
we smoked, fought, raped, and even killed.. We became just like him... " Abuchi was in a pool of tears at this time..he seemed to be in so much pain at that very moment.. Albeit, I still didn't fully understand what he was driving at or why Kachi wasn't surprised Abuchi knew me.. His situation and that of kachi looked pathetic.

"I figured we will never be free if we don't do something.. " Kachi spoke soberly from my shoulder this time.. I didn't know how his voice made my heart feel..it felt like it was failing or something..

"At that time I had created my second gang of highway robbers... " he continued... "Abuchi was handling the logistics and planning aspects while I handled the part of operations...So, on that faithful day, on a supposed robbery operation, I did what we both very much desired.. I put an end to the existence of a psychopath..,

"I killed our FATHER!!"
