The Minister’s Son And I - Season 1 - Episode 32

☆☆


“Arrest the minister first! He is a murderer!” I shouted as they approached me. None of them seemed to listen to me, all they wanted is to have me back in prison. I looked at Rozina’s bleeding body lying on the floor, the cops were so inhuman to see that she needed help. The Minister’s story on how he killed my parents echoed in my mind, yet here I was, maybe with my last opportunity to revenge for my parents deaths. Going back to prison might mark the end of my mission, he was an influential man, having me killed in prison would take him little time.
I wanted to shoot him on head, I would then spend my life in prison, maybe the judge would sentence me to death, but then, I would die a better man. I held my gun tightly against Dad, I reached for the trigger. Five guns were already pointed at me, the cops threatened to shoot me, I was not afraid of that, all I wanted is the Minister to meet his maker.


“I will shoot you if you don’t drop that gun!” One of the cops, who appeared to be in charge threatened.
“I want to die, this idiot killed my Dad and my mother, I must kill him now!”
“David?” I turned to see Rozina struggling to stand, she had regained her consciousness. I was glad to see her alive.
“Rozina? Are you alright?”
“Please drop the gun, I don’t want you to die David, you can only fight the injustice when alive. Your death will mean the end of all we have struggled for. Don’t give up sir.” She spoke passionately. Her words reminded me of my mother’s words, I looked at her ring on my little finger, her words were so clear in my mind, I had to keep fighting, I had no option than to surrender myself to the cops, I would then proceed with an appeal case in which I would explain everything to the court. My biggest problem was that I had no evidence or witness apart from Rozina whose life was obviously in danger. The minister would not hesitate eliminating her in my absence.
“Thanks Rozina, I promise never to give up on this battle, even if I die, my bones and spirit will still fight for justice.” I helped her up by her waist, she must have been in great pains, there was blood on her thighs too, she was already raped, the cops were so blind to that.
“If you have to take me away, Rozina must accompany me into the clinic hospitals.” I said firmly, it was the only way to protect her. Unfortunately, I wasn’t ill so I would be taken direct behind bars, she couldn’t be safe in the clinics alone. I pointed my gun against my shoulder and released a bullet,it was painful but I had to do it. “Why this David?” Rozina cried, everyone appeared shocked.
“You and I are now wounded, that means we will be in the clinics soon, I propose that we be allocated the same room in the wards.” I explained as I dropped my gun. As if they had really looked toward to that, the coward cops rained their kicks and lances on me, I wondered of their beating was really necessary, had I not surrendered myself?
They beat me into a point I couldn’t support myself again, I needed to be carried into their jeep. I passed out on our way to the cells, I had requested them to take Rozina with me, I wasn’t sure if they had.

*************

I opened my eyes and closed them again, whoever I saw needed a good explanation from me, I owe her my apologies, her face was not a happy one.



“David? I know you can hear me.” She called.
“I can’t please, am still unconscious. Why don’t we talk some other time, I will explain.”
“You are an idiot David.”
“There is some truth in that, an idiot who tricked you, that makes you a bigger idiot my lady.” I joked.
“You must explain to me why you did it..”
“Or else what? Swallow me alive?”
“See what am holding?”
“Yes, a syringe, I like injections, that’s why I came, will you mind using the syringe at my behinds? Its sweet there.”
“The Syringe contains some poison, I want you to die for fooling me.” She threatened.
“Oh! Good news after so much bad, at least I will have some pleasure meeting my dead Dad and mother, I will ask them how they were killed and whether my sister was still alive, I will haunt their murderers as a spirit, but trust me Mercy, I won’t haunt you. I like you.” I smiled at her, a smile full of pain and vengeance.


“What do you mean David? The minister? Your Dad is dead?” She looked so shocked.
“Yes and no, or maybe no and yes. Let’s say its an imagination.”
“David? Tell me everything, please don’t hide anything from me, I will go to my grave with it.” She promised.
“I don’t believe that, I hate promises, I only loved them when I was a kid. I will only tell you my story if you vow to help me Mercy, I need help.”
“Anything for you David, I swear…”
“Stop swearing, my digestion hates that.”
“Am sorry David.”
“I need to be sorry to you myself.” I decided to narrate my whole story the nurse (Mercy) who just held her breath. “Are you sure that story its true, I mean how can men be so inhuman?” She wiped her tears. “Am so sorry David, I will stand by you.” She pecked and wiped it on my cheek.
“Did they bring Rozina here?” I asked her.
“They did but am sorry David.” She said sadly.
“Sorry? What do you mean?”
“Rozina….
