Harry took yinka and I to a
nice restaurant. At the restaurant yinka told me everything I missed out while
we were apart. She is studying to become a Doctor and yemisi is married to a
politician. She also told me how furious her Dad was when he discovered mum
threw me out, it almost ended her parents marriage. Chief Badmos went to the
police and searched around lagos for awhile but couldn't locate me.
When I asked after chief, she
was silent for awhile before she said " he died few years back. He grew
very weak all of a sudden. The doctors could not determine what was wrong
because his...
vitals were ok. Doctor said he was depressed, the drugs prescribed
for him didn't work because he was always lost in thought. Even the hospitals
abroad could not help him.
They said his illness was physchological. We
couldn't help him because we didn't know what was wrong with him. Harry brought
him back from london and stayed here in Nigeria to take care of him. Dad
screamed one night and was gone just like that" yinka finished her story.
We cried for awhile before i told her everything that happened when I left
their house. How I went to kaduna and how God favored me till I completed my
studies. We discussed at length and decided to call it a day at about 11pm.
On our way to the car my purse
fell on the floor Harry and I scooped down to pick it up simultaneously. A loud
gun shot rang through the quiet night, Yinka screamed. Blood was gushing out of
her left arm. A car was moving out of the parking lot in full speed behind us.
Everything was happening so fast.
Harry took charge. He carried
Yinka into his car and urged me to get in fast. There was no time to pursue the
shooter. But I saw the car. It was a black jeep exactly the type I saw at the
bank the other day. Could it be the car was following us that day? If so, we
were all in danger. I have to call christy and Richard to warn them.
We got to the Hospital, yinka
was taken to the emergency Room, while I made a quick call to Richard and
christy to inform them about what happened and to also warn them.
We waited for what seemed like
ages before the Doctor came tell us yinka's status. We were informed that the
bullet only grazed her arm. Harry was relieved, he drew me close and hugged me.
We were that way when his mum barge in. "Where is my daughter doctor"
mrs Badmos screamed. " She is doing fine, the bullet only grazed her
arm" the doctor replied.
Mrs Badmos looked around and
her eyes rested on me "I always knew you were bad luck, you have brought
your evil around my children" she cried. "Stop it mum, she is my wife
to be, you have to accept that fact nothing you say or do would change my
mind" Harry said. He held my hands and took me outside to his car
"let me take you home so you can rest" he said. "But I want to
stay here with you" I protested. "I don't want my mum to say hurtful
things to you so please just go home ok" I agreed and we left.
On our way back, I told him
about the black jeep and my suspicion. "If someone is targeting you
because of what is in your fathers safe, then it must contain something very
important we need to find out WHAT" Harry said. I agreed with him but pleaded
with him not to tell the police at the hospital about my dad's case when they
come to collect report about the shooting. He agreed, he also warned me not to
go anywhere without him and to always be on alert.
He dropped me off but before I
left, he drew me close and kissed me. My first kiss!
Who is responsible for shooting
yinka? Mrs Badmos or Bad Guys
