Tejumola - Season 1 - Episode 15

I felt something sq££ze my palms gently, I
woke up thinking I was asleep. I heard
people talking in low whispers, I peeked
from my left eye and saw David and Bola
conversing.. David looked worried.

“You said she just slumped?”
“Yes, after recieving a call.”Bola explained.
“Uhm”a man in white coat, came in, maybe
a doctor.

“Thanks for coming Doctor Raymond”David
shook his hands.

The doc. Examined me for a while before
looking up.

“Her heart beat is close to normal, she’d be
fine, she’s just stressed out. You know, her
brain needs rest.”he explained.

“Thank you Doctor.”David replied glancing
at my direction.

How did they get here? Maybe Bola called
him. Maybe Something happened..

“is she your sister?”I heard Doctor Raymond
say.

“No, she’s my wife.”David replied peering at
me, as though I might jump up and attack
him.

This guy ko gbadu o…wife ke! No Baby
Mama noni o, I smiled to myself.

The door squeaked and The doctor left.
“Were you able to identify the caller?”David
asked Bola.

“No, but she mentioned a name that sounds
like Okon or something.”Bola replied
scratching her head.

Just then I remembered what happened
earlier. Akpan rang into my brain.

“Akpan has my child.”I said, startling them
both.

“Wow, thank God, You’ve woken up.”David
looked pleased.

“Akpan, Lina’s gateman,”I said to no one in
particular.

David seems to understand what I want, he
quickly put a call across to the police. In
less than an hour we were driving to Lina’s
house that dead night.

:::::::::::*********

“Seriously, I don’t know what you’re talking
about.”Lina said sitting on a chair at the
police station.

“Where’s Akpan?”a policeman asked her for
the fifteenth time.

“He…he..travelled.”she stammered.
“Okay, maybe a night in the cell will reveal
where he is.”Ade an inspector told her.
She cringed at the mention of a cell, she
muttered something under her breathe.
“You want to say something?”Inspector Ade
asked

“Errrm, I don’t want to go to the cell.”she
pleaded.

“Good, then tell us the info we need, and
we’d let you go.”his voice was coarse.
“I…know where he is, I can take you there
now, but please dont send me to
prison.”she looked frightened.
“Good take us there!”Inspector Ade smiled
triumphantly.

I and Bola stayed behind at the station,
while they left with David.

After two hours which seemed like eternity
to me, they came back. It was almost Day
break.

I rushed out to the van.

They’ve Arrested Akpan and two other men,
but Eniola isn’t there.

“Where’s she?”I tugged at David
“they said she’s missing again”he looked
tired.

“Inspector?”I held inspector Ade’s hand,
tears streaming down my face.

“She’s not there. I think this case entails
more than we’ve imagined. But after a
thorough Interrogation, they’l open up.”he
replied gently as Lina, Akpan and the other
men were led into a cell.

“No, it can’t be.”I whispered to myself.
“We’ll find her soon.”David held me gently
as I wept on his shoulders.
