Love with bitter tear - Season 1 - Episode 14

☆☆
He started removing his
trousers
but Kunle who was not ready
to
give up quickly grabbed him
and
a fight ensued between them.
They rolled on the floor with
each
of them trying to get a better
angle in order to deal the best
blow. Kunle, remembering the
knife in his pocket drew it out
and stabbed him in the
stomach.

He fell back clutching his
stomach
with a look of pain and
surprise on his face. He fell his
back as
blood gushed out from the cut.
Kunle watched as he squirmed
and squirmed then went still
with
eyes still wide open. He went
closer to him, bent down and
tapped him but he did not
respond, he put his ears closer
to
his mouth and realised he
wasn’t
breathing anymore, he fell
back
and started shivering.

Kunle: “Oh God! I just killed him, I
just killed my friend” he
muttered
under his breath. Just then
Annie
started wailing due to the
effect of
the sun directly shining unto
her
face. She was so loud that
Kunle thought of taking to his
heels and
leaving her there but changed
his
mind. “I must finish what I
started. It is a must that I finish
it”
he said looking around
frantically
just to be sure no one was
within earshot or watching
him. He went
closer to her, removed her
pampers which was already
filled
with faeces and threw it away,
he
removed her top and used it to
clean her up then proceeded to
unzipping his fly. d!ckson and
his two friends were
on the Lagos-Ibadan express
when he got pressed and had
to
ease himself. Paul stopped the
car
and turned the ignition off
while
d!ckson climbed down and
started walking to the bush.

Paul: “Where are you going to
you this guy? Why must you
enter
the bush when you can even
do it
right from inside the car?” he
asked impatiently.

d!ckson: “It’s none of your
business man. Just leave me
alone. You can leave without
me if
you want to” he said still
walking.

Paul: “Ralph have can
you see
how the jerk is trying to waste
our time when we are
supposed
to be at the wedding already?”
he turned to their other friend
who was the only quiet one among
them.

Ralph: “Leave him now. I
am sure
it wouldn’t take him more than
five minutes. Just chill guy!” he
said playfully and just then
d!ckson came running back,
panting breathlessly.

d!ckson: “Guys! Guys!! Come
down now and follow me” he
said and turned back. The two
looked at each other
confusedly
and open their doors at the
same time and ran after him.

They paused when they got to
where he was, hiding behind a large
tree.

Ralph: “What was that
commotion
about?”

d!ckson: “Shhhhh!” he
shushed
him and pointed to where
Bayo
and Kunle were, fighting
vigorously. Ralph looked down,
saw the baby on the floor and
made to run into the opening
where they were at but his
two
friends held him down.

Paul: “Don’t do anything stupid,
let’s watch and see what is
going to happen” he said in a hushed
tone just then, they saw the
flash of a blade and in the twinkle of
an eye, the other guy was down,
bleeding profusely.

Ralph: “S--t! We have to save that
baby fast” he said but the
other two still hushed him down.

Paul: “I need to know what he
is trying to do with that baby.

We will pounce on him when he
makes his move and anyone
with a phone please?” d!ckson
brought out his phone
from his hip pocket and started
taking snapshots of all of the
guy’s moves. They got
confused when he removed her pampers
and used her cloth to wipe off
the mess on her, they thought
he was probably helping her until he
started unzipping his trousers.

Ralph: “Damnit!” he said in
between clenched teeth and
sprinted to where Kunle was
while the other two followed
suite. He jumped on him and
pinned him down while Paul
kicked the knife out of his
reach.

Kunle: “Oh God! You
people are
making a terrible mistake,
leave me alone now…I will kill you
all” he issued pointless threats.

d!ckson: “You son of a b---h!

You were trying to rape this
innocent baby? For what?” he said as he
scooped Annie up, removed his
danshiki and used it to wrap
the baby warmly as she stopped
crying and smiled at him. “Oh
my!

Can you imagine how beautiful
she is?” he said smiling back at
her like a teenager.

They bundled Kunle up and
turned back to Ibadan, since
Ibadan was closer than both
Ogun state and Lagos from
where they were.

They took him
straight
to the police station and filed a
report. Kunle was detained
while they were asked to take care of
the baby till her parents come
to claim her since no one had filed
a missing child report just yet.

The police did not want extra
burden in their hands. === Just
as they were about driving
out of the gate, they spotted
Sammy walking with such a
drooling shoulder that was
almost touching the ground.
Richard was so relieved that
without turning off the
ignition,
he opened the door and ran to
his son who got startled out of
his wits when he was scooped up
all of a sudden. He struggled to go
down until he saw that it was
his dad.

Sammy: “Daddy!

Daddy!!” he
could not get the words out of
his mouth.

Ophelia: “Richie…lets
go inside, people are staring at us” she
said placing her hand gently on his
shoulder. Richard: “Yeah yeah
we should.

Please can you help me bring
the car in please?”

Ophelia: “Yeah
sure” When they got inside,
Richard noticed for the first time that
his son reeked of sweat and tears.
his eyes was bloodshot and
yeah he was alone.

Richard: “Where
is Annie?” he
asked gently holding him at
arm’s
length.

Sammie: “Daddy it was
my fault. I
am not a good brother.

Mum will
never forgive me” the tears
flowed freely from his face, his
dad was confused and scared.

Richard: “Sammie what
happened
to your sister?”

Sammie: “Last night, when we
were waiting for you to come
back home, Annie started
crying because she was hungry and
my hand could not reach the shelf.

I decided to go and wait for you
outside the gate but as soon as
we stepped out, some men on
okada came and snatched
Annie from my hand and ran away.

Daddy I don’t know what to
do, I prayed to God to bring her
back to me but He didn’t since
she hasn’t being returned yet. I
have walked around searching for
the men, asking people but no one
know them. Daddy please get
my sister back for me” he
disengaged from his dad and
knelt down as tears and sweat
mingled together on his face. It
was like a terrible lightening
had struck Richard, he sat
unmoving staring into thin air.
Ophelia noticed this and
walked
up to them slowly. She place
her
hand on his shoulder again…

Ophelia: “Richie are you okay?”
she asked with a quivering
voice.

Richard: “My daughter is
gone and you are asking if I am
okay?

Tell me how I can be okay,
how?

This is my fault, I should have
been home but I got whisked
off to jail disgracefully leaving my
children unprotected. Tell me
what kind of father I am?” he
stood up and started pacing
around.

Ophelia: “Let’s get to
the police station, this requires urgency.

We must act fast” she said urging
him to follow her.

Richard: “I swear
I am never
going to forgive the man who
got me arrested. I wish I even got
to see him or got to know his
name.

But I will find him, I swear on
my dead wife that I will find him”
he gritted his teeth.

Ophelia: “Then you don’t even
know the reason you got
arrested?”

Richard: “I don’t!
Can you imagine that? He instructed
them not to tell me”

Ophelia: “Oh Thank God!” she
heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay
let’s go dear”

Sammy: “I am going
with you
dad. I must be among those to
search for her, I promise to do
my best”

Richard: “It is too risky so
just stay here okay?”

Ophelia: “You want to leave him
all alone again? Let him come
with us at least we will be able to
keep an eye on him. I am just afraid
to even leave him alone” she said
wryly. === Ralph and his
friends were at a
loss as to what to do with
Annie.

The three of them lived
together in a three bedroom flat at
Oluyole Estate in Ibadan.

They met at an MTN internship program in
Abuja when they were first
seeking for job, they were all picked and
assigned to the same branch in
Ibadan.

They got the
apartment together, took a room each
and used the living room together.

They did everything together
and nowhere will one of them be
found that the other two
would not be found there also.

Paul: “What do we do with this
baby whose name we don’t
even know? I am really not good
with babies and that’s why I asked
my last girlfriend to have an
abortion when she told me she was
pregnant”

d!ckson: “Let’s take
her back to the police station and tell them
we cannot keep her”

Paul: “You want to go through
police wahala bah?”

d!ckson: “Okay should we take
her to the orphanage? I really
don’t have money to waste on
another person’s baby. I
already have enough responsibility as
it is”

Ralph: “Let’s keep her. Let’s
help this helpless baby at least it’s
just for the main time, her parents
will soon come for her. Please
guys?

Just look at how innocent and
beautiful she looks. She
reminds me of my little sister
whom we lost to small pox back then” he
said pleadingly
