EPISODE 9 (the concluding Episode )
THE SLAY KING

I moved back into my room that morning with some thoughts, which are even colliding, I wouldn’t have share this story, but I needed to so I can be judged well, I will not get a chance to pen down any more explanation because time is running out, so you have to read with me as I conclude this story of mine

Sitting at the corner of my bed that day, I felt really sad because I know people could have seen her coming down to my house at the late hours of the day and if that was it, I knew something terrible is waiting for me, a lot of thoughts came here. “was she the one that came here?”, Maybe her ghost came, I had this thought because I cannot really imagine the type of explanation I will give that will take me out of the mess, who will believe she left my house?, I fault myself for allowing her to come at that time of the day, After about 1 hour, I heard a knock on the door, my heartbeats was very fast as pumping of blood increased, because I can imagine the men of the police coming down to my house to arrest me, but it was my sister, she came in and said my food is ready, i moved out of the room with a camouflaged face to show everything is ok as I don’t want people to suspect anything is wrong. I sat at the dinning to eat but my mind was on the issue, I took about 3-4 spoons then covered the food and left for my room again, I sat down there thinking everything will be fine as I believe she will be back home soon, so I slept off, I can’t go out, so around 5pm in the evening I walked down to my friend’s house to listen to the situation of Princess whereabouts, on getting I knocked the front door and Tobi opened it, so I sat down and we talked about some things and he asked about by journey to Nasarawa which should be the next day, I told him nothing has changed as I will still be travelling by tomorrow, Tobi was very happy for me, I was happy on the outside and unhappy in the inside because I knew a dream can be cut short if anyone knows Princess came into my house, Princess is the only child of her parents, but the day she met me there I should have noticed she was on call telling someone she is home now, I was short sighted with the thought of only getting her down on my bed, Yesterday I was happy, today is a bad day, I took water from the refrigerator a I stepped out of Tobi’s house, I saw a black SUV packed a the front of his hose with men in black uniform and a guy called Jimoh, Jimoh is my greatest enemy as he is one of the biggest guy in the village, Jimoh once accused me of disrespecting him. He said and I coat “You this guy, Because say you de university, na why you dey disrespect us be that abi” that day I couldn’t say sorry to Jimoh, it was on the football field Jimoh and I locked on to a big fight of supremacy in which nobody won, Jimoh and the Black men came out of the Car and the next thing I heard was, Stay there! you are under arrest, I was shocked and for what, they replied with their normal answer “Shut up or whatever you say here will be used against you in the court of law” I was bundled into the vehicle and they drove off, it was when i got to the police station after about one hour, one of the men came to me and asked where I kept Princess, I was shocked and replied them that I don’t know where she is, so he left even without touching me, I was locked up in a small room of just about 1m by 1m, I can’t go down too much, so he came back and I told him to call my parents for me or take me home, so my parents can know my where about, it was on our way home I remembered that my laptop has a lot of illegal documents, fake pictures and a lot of fake properties which I use in scamming people, so we got home and they entered my room, got all those stuffs and net my father. I can see the look on my Dad's face , I knew I am a disappointment, but I always believe one day I will be free from the mess as the dream of serving my father’s land is now up for me. We left our house but before leaving, the police officer advised my dad that he should get a sound lawyer because I will be in the court soon for kidnapping case and for false pretense, so we left.

Day by day, Beating increased as different officer came in with different “koboko” to beat me, My skin turned to something else, and I have not really eaten any good food till now, my health is deteriorating and it is rapidly failing, each night I sleep, I dream of how my future would have been if I had not put up myself into the mess of my life, The 30mins untimely enjoyment have landed me in the greatest hole in my life, its 10days to my the court case, the lawyer was here and he asked for all the details I can give about my travails and how I got myself into this mess, I plead with him to please help me out of it and if I moved out I will not do such anymore, he assured me that everything will be fine that I should put my mind at rest before he left.

2nd of February, 2018. I was moved out of the police station to the court room, i had a lot of thoughts in my mind, getting to the court premise, I was ushered down into the court room, and the judge with a ‘never-smiling’ face looked at me eye to eye and there were a lot of dramas between my lawyer and the Government lawyer, at the end of the day, The judge said I am guilty of Kidnapping and that people like me should not live in the midst of human. He said I should be remanded in prison until further notice. I dropped my head and cried, as I was bundled out.

I need to share it with you before I rot here in prison, if anyone sees the traces of Princess, please tell her to show up at the Ilesha Prison and save me from untimely death. My name is OLORUNPAMIDA ALADE MAKANJUOLA and this is my story.

hey you guys should respect me a little

Freebiez:
When you stop copying other people's marketing style with a brand new nairaland account, maybe then I'll stop being spiteful.

Maybe you would have earned the right to spite me.

Maybe when you've gotten some grammar lessons as well.

Freebiez:
Excuse me, but this riteshotz is copying my style.

Sorry to disturb but everyone must know he is a useless nfa that will not fare in life.

‘Why do you look so sad honey’? Kachi shifted closer to her best friend who lay across the huge bed.

‘I don’t know Kachi, maybe because it’s almost Christmas and you know what that means, yet again, I’ll be plunged into another major depression’ Sophia sighed and hugged her pillow.

‘There you go again, you have to put yourself together, Soph, it’s been ten years already, you need to learn to let go babe, you gotta be strong’ Kachi rubbed her shoulder.

Ten years ago, precisely on the 25th of December 2007, Sophia and her younger sister, Barbara, had both lost their parents in a car crash. It had been really tough for them as they were both teenagers, it had been tough the first year but with the help of their aunt, Davina, they were able to pull through.

‘I know, I have to be strong too for Barbie, I don’t want her feeling sad’ Sophia sighed and sat up, she loved her younger sister very much and was ready to do anything to make her happy. Apart from Aunt Davina, Barbara was the only family she had left.

‘No, not for Barbie, you have to be strong for you’ Kachi frowned slightly, she’d been friends with Sophia since primary school and she knew how selfless she could be. But Barbara, was her exact opposite and for some reason she hated her.

‘I keep wondering why you don’t get along with Barbie, she’s pretty and fun to be with Kachi’ Sophia wasn’t oblivious to the fact that Kachi disliked her sister.

‘I don’t have any issues with Barbara or whatever she’s called, all I’m saying is you should learn to be a little selfish, you keep sacrificing everything for a sister that doesn’t care about you’ Kachi hissed loudly as she remembered the incident that happened years ago.
It was true Barbie was very pretty, she was more pretty than her sister, Barbara was a donna and she knew this and used it to manipulate men. Sophia had a boyfriend when they were still in their second year at the university, his name was Benet , Sophia had loved him very much, but he’d woken up one morning and broken up with her just like that. It had hurt Sophia very much, but what would’ve hurt her most was finding out her sister, Barbie was the reason behind the break –up.

It had started as rumors back on campus, about Benet and Barbie shagging each other, then Kachi caught them herself, that was the night her hate for Barbara blossomed. But she couldn’t tell Sophia about it, it would’ve killed her to know Barbie could do such a thing.

‘Let’s not fight about this okay? I cannot be selfish, she’s all I have Kachi’ Sophia threw her hands in the air.

‘Whatever, so how’s your boyfriend Oscar’? Kachi decided to change the topic.

‘He isn’t picking my calls, neither has he returned them, maybe he’s busy, you know all these business tycoons them’ Sophia smiled as she thought about the love of her life.

Oscar Nwachukwu was the most eligible bachelor in town and she was pleased to be his girlfriend. He understood her perfectly and accepted her just the way she was.
She knew deep down she didn’t deserve him, she wasn’t a classical beauty like her sister, what’s worse was that she was a little on the plump side, she was fat. Yes, she hated using the ‘f’ word.
Sophia was average height and very chubby, dark in complexion with smooth dark hair, her facial features weren’t so beautiful but her lips could lure any man. And she wore this medicated glasses that made her nerdy.

‘I always envy you love, that guy is crazy over you’ Kachi was happy her friend had found love again after Benet had broken her heart, Oscar showed up years later and proved himself to be an angel.

‘Please don’t, God would send you a better man’ Sophia comforted her friend who was just out of an abusive relationship.

‘No, I don’t want a man this time, I want a woman, I’m considering lesbianism, at least I wouldn’t fall in love with a woman and she wouldn’t have that opportunity to hurt me, so you see my friend? Being a dyke is the only way forward’ Kachi fetched her phone and surfed the web.
She’d vowed never to give any man her heart, they were undeserving of her love.

‘You’re kidding right? Remember it’s fourteen years in jail’? Sophia whistled.

‘So? Who’s gonna catch me?’ she replied.

‘Oscar’s birthday is coming up soon, I don’t know what to get him, that guy has been really helpful, Barbie told me, he paid five million naira into our joint account, his quota to the building of our restaurant’ she smiled happily.

‘You don’t say’ Kachi exclaimed, this was too good to be true.

‘Yes, I didn’t know how much to thank him for his generosity, I bought him an expensive perfume, but he just took it and told me, ‘I did it for love’ Sophia smiled again.

‘Girl, your other name is lucky’ Kachi was very much excited for her friend.
‘So we’re opening the restaurant nextweek, we’ll use this week and decorate the whole place and also get to clear the paperwork with our lawyer’ Sophia explained.
Few months after they’d both graduated, Aunt Davina had called them back to Uyo, they’d been hesitant at first, because the woman always spoke of them marrying early. On their arrival, she presented them a sum of two million naira willed to them by their late parents to start up a business, considering the job situation of the country.

Barbie wasn’t interested, she had connections that could land her a big job, so the restaurant stuff was Sophia’s idea.

‘I am so happy for you dear, maybe I should use that opportunity and advertise my beauty shop, what do you think’? Kachi was a beautician and she wanted to increase her patronage.

‘Hmmm, not a bad idea, I’ll speak to Barbie about it’ Sophia shrugged.

‘Barbie again’? Kachi was getting irritated.

Just then, the hot light skinned beauty stepped into the room, looking suave in her evening wear, she was truly an angel.
Her face was perfectly carved with adorable features, her nose was sharp, her eyes were colored with streams of brown and they were veiled by thick lashes. Her mouth was sensuous, her thin lips were naturally red.
She was taller than her sister and was perfectly slender, Barbie was a real Barbie doll.

‘What did Barbie do this time’? she’d over heard her elder sister’s annoying friend Kachi mention her name.

‘Uh, nothing sweetheart, where’re are you off to’? Sophie asked sweetly.
‘A date.’ She replied curtly, gazing angrily at Kachi.

‘Oh, you now have a boyfriend? I should meet him soon’ Sophia smiled admiring the way her sister looked, she was proud to have such a beautiful sister.

‘Uhmm, okay, if you wish, now I have to run along, I don’t wanna be late’ she waved her sister goodbye and hurried out.

‘What was that about’?Kachi hissed angrily.

‘Really? I just defended you girl, you know how angry Barbs could get, don’t wanna spoil her evening’ she replied.

‘Don’t you ever do that’ Kachi climbed out of the bed. Why was Sophia so afraid of her younger sister? The little devil.

‘I’m sorry Kachi don’t be mad, why are you so worked up’?

‘Your phone is ringing’ Kachi ignored her pleas.

‘Wow, it’s my sweetheart, Oscar is calling’ Sophia rose to her feet.

‘Baby, I’m sorry I missed your call, I had been very busy, how are you doing’? His voice was low and sexy.
‘I’m fine love, I really missed you’ she replied.

‘No!!!!! somebody help!’ Oscar screamed from the other end.

‘Hello? Oscar? What’s that? Are you okay?’ she tried to ask but the line went dead.

‘What’s wrong Soph’? Kachi had seen the look on her face.

‘I don’t know, he kept screaming somebody help, I think he’s in some kind of trouble, we should go see him’ Sophia was restless .

‘Are you sure? What if we call his friends’?

‘No, I have to be there for him’, she slipped on her overall and fetched her keys, it was going to be a long night.
