************************************************************************
Genesis parked his car at the deserted packing lot of a very well known restaurant. He booked the restaurant for the whole day, cause today was the day Chidinma would tell us the truth. He was taking extra precaution cause he didn't want anyone to eavesdrop on our conversation.
Genesis, myself, Gerald and Bolaji, got down from Genesis' car and headed straight for the restaurant. Once inside the restaurant, we spotted Chidinma at the far end, sitting with an unknown figure. It was easy to locate her cause there was no other individual in sight.
We approached her table slowly. As if sensing our presence, she lifted her head from the menu she was looking at, and looked straight into my eyes. She got up promptly and ran towards me. She spread her arms around me and gave me are best infamous hugs.
"Have you been eating well?" She asked, "Were you so worried about me that you loose a lot of weight?"
I tried to hide the tears from my eyes, but it felt like it had a mind of its own. I looked at Chidinma with hot tears rolling down my cheek.
"Are you alright?" I asked her, "have you loose too much weight? Were you so worried about me? God, I miss you so much Chidinma." Chidinma laughed as tears rolled down her eyes. She looked to her left for the first time, to see Gerald looking down at her with blood shot eyes. "Don't blow it," I whispered in her ear, as she nodded absent mindedly and walked over to Gerald.
"Gerald I___" Before Chidinma could finish her sentence, Gerald surprised us by leaning down to her level and capturing her lips in a steaming hot kiss. I fought the urge to coo at them, my baby was growing up so fast. I felt warm hands around mine, as I looked sideways to see Genesis smiling down at me.
"They are perfect for each other," He said to me.
I smiled at his words before saying, "They are made for each other."
************************************************************************
Β Β Β Chidinma's POV (Point of View)
We all sat at a table that could contain us. I was sitting in between my guest and Gerald, and Itoro, was sitting in between Genesis and Genesis' best friend. I don't actually know his name. They were all looking at me, and waiting patiently for my explanation. I cleared my throat, before gesturing to my guest.
"This here, is Bolanle. The very guy that saved my life." They all looked at him with grateful eyes as they waited for me to continue. "It all started when I got into that car."
Flash Back.
I looked at the guy that was seated at the passenger seat, as he points a gun at me. I tried sinking into the seat, hoping to become invisible. I notice a pair of eyes starring right at me, it belonged to a dark slim guy and his face held no emotion. I didn't know if he was pitying me or wanted to just kill me and feed me to the vultures.
He kept on looking at me, even when he was very much aware of my gaze. There was one thing I tried to solve which was, why did he felt so familiar?
"Dragon," The big guy driving the car, called out in a very deep tone. The guy looking at me, diverted his gaze to the driver.
He must be Dragon.
He didn't reply but his look alone told the guy holding the steering wheel that he was listening.
"Did you drown the lady from the other day?"
"Yes," Was Dragon's short reply. "Do you want me to...." He tilted his head towards my direction, and leaned forward so he could see past the guy sitting close to me. "..... Do the same to her?" Again, his tone were void of any emotion to give away what he was actually thinking.
I gasped involuntarily, as the guy sitting beside me yelled for me to shut the hell up. But my mouth seemed to have a mind of its own.
"Y-You can't do that, Y-You just can't!" My yelling was directed to Dragon, who suddenly for some unknown reason, had an amused smirk plastered on his face as he looked at me.
"Of course he won't," The guy seated at the passenger seat said, before looking at the guy driving the car. "What is he going to do Scorpion?" It seemed each of them had a role. Scorpion seemed like the leader, and Dragon seemed like the killer.
Scorpion laughed evilly, before giving the guy at the passenger seat a cigarette to light for him. After the guy had lit the cigarette, he placed it in between Scorpion's rough pierced lips. "He's going to chop her head off."
I gasped even louder this time around, as I gripped the leather seat tight. I looked over at Dragon, so I could plead with him with my eyes, but he was busy looking out the window.
"That's an easy job." Declared Dragon in his cold voice, still looking out the window.
************************************************************************
Scorpion stopped the car and sent Axe and Red Devil, which were the one sitting at the passenger seat and also the one sitting beside me, to drag me out of the car. He then looked at Dragon with a sly smile and said, "Be fast with the killing, and shove her body in the car trunk. We are going to that Mama put down the street. No fear, your share go reach you." With those last words, Scorpion, Axe and Red Devil, left me with the real Devil himself, Dragon.
Dragon looked at me as he held a red axe. "What's your last wish?" He asked me. "A pretty girl like you, needs her wish to come true."
I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat as I looked at him. "I wish that___"
"Funny how you don't remember me," He said cutting me short, as he dragged the axe so it could slide on the dirty ground.
I tried remembering him as I looked at him. I hardly have any enemies, I was actually loved by all. Did I break his heart by rejecting him? Cause that's the only thing that could make a guy hate me.
Dragon laughed a dark humorless laugh, as he rested his back against the Hilux car. "You can't even remember the guy you once helped three months ago?"
Okay, now I was confuse. When did I help a criminal three months ago?
"Maybe, this would ring a bell." He says as he walked towards me. "My baby sister was dying at the hospital, and I was roaming the street in search of money. When night fell, I found myself in the company of some rough guys and according to your dressing that night, it seemed you were coming from a party. You approached the guys and pleaded with them not to beat me to death. You even bribed them with some cash, so that they won't beat me at the end. Once they were gone, you asked me what the problem was and I narrated my life history to you."
He took two steps forward and stood right in front of me. "Right there on the spot, you transferred fifty thousand naira into my account and told me to manage it cause it was your last card."
I struggled to recall that memory of him and when I eventually did, it played like a movie in my head.
"Is your sister alright?" Was the first thing that came out if my mouth.
"She survived," He shrugged.
"T-Then why you doing this type of job?"
"To survive," Was his short reply. "I'm going to make a wish for you," He said as he leaned closer to my face. "I kind of fell for you that night, and it would be sad and bad, to see the one lady I have ever falling for, die just like that. I'm going to grant you the wish of living past this situation."
"How," My voice came out in a whisper.
"I'll cut of the lady's head I drowned, and give it to the guys. You'll have to put on her clothes while her dead body wears yours. Send a signal to your friends or something, to show that the body's not yours."
"W-Won't they know that it's not me?" I asked out of fear.
"The lady in question has the same physic with you. Trust me, they won't know the difference." He let me get into the car, and drove me to his one room apartment. He left me and hurried out to cut the dead lady's head off.
I knew she was dead, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. When Dragon came back to his room, he revealed his real name and told me the very person that sent them to do those dirty deeds.
Ends Flash Back.
I told Itoro and the guys exactly what happened, but left out the part were Bolanle confessed his feelings towards me.
"So," Genesis' best friend who I now knew was Bolaji, voiced out. "Kindly quench our curiosity, by telling us who sent him." He said, as he points at Bolanle.
I cleared my throat, as I looked at Itoro before looking at Genesis. "I'm afraid you guys might not believe me if I say this," Itoro's hands reached for mine, as she look at me sincerely.
"I'll believe you," She smiled warmly at me.
I looked at Genesis with sad eyes, as he looked straight into mine. I took a deep breath, before saying the one thing that could crush him.
"Your father."
