Why Zolabin dislike Bill

[Third Person’s viewpoint ]

What happened on parrot island really shocked Zolabin. He wasn’t expecting such a surprise. He had done everything possible to eliminate Mike but somehow, something kept thwarting his plans and keeping him alive. The night they struck her mother could have been the perfect night for Roberto to kill him but his ineptitude had cause the death of Zolabin’s men and still counting.

Some of his finest gang leaders had been killed. The likes of Leonard,Jadon,Roberto,Ferro and Jackson Desagagne. Leonard and Jadon were killed by Chioma, Mike’s Mother, during the night she was raped. Roberto was killed by Mike’s Sister Rosaline. Jackson was killed by Gina. There was a common trend. Most of my gang leaders were killed by women.

Surely something was protecting Mike and her sister from extermination.

Maybe it’s the spirit of their dead parents. Before Mike’s rescue operation on Parrot Island, Zolabin went to his grand master to affirm his suspicions. His spiritual master, the servant of Ebutalium, said certain things that frightened her.

When he asked the spiritual master to eliminate Mike and his Sister for him, he said, “be careful son, Master Ebutalium is a God of justice. He does not share the blood of the innocent.” Don’t kill his son.

This is the time for you to plead for mercy for there is calamity ahead of you.”

Zolabin was worried by Ebutalium’s prophecy. He pleaded with him to give him some spiritual protection. The grand master advised him to relocate. Before he left the shrine , he was given a talisman. The grandmaster told him, “whenever you are in trouble, just speak to the Talisman and you will vanish. Say the words,”isca ebuta rafa manana iscarix.Once you say those words, you will vanish and reappear in your home. There is one condition attached to it. If you don’t like the condition, don’t use it.This talisman can only be used thrice.

The first time you use It, it will reduce your lifespan by 7 years. The second time by 5 years and the third time by 3 years. After the third time, it becomes ineffective and you have to come for another one.”

Zolabin sighed. “That’s a tough one”

Nevertheless, he took it. It was the Talisman that helped him to escape from parrot island when Mike’s team had nearly cornered him.

When he returned home , he decided to relocate. He knew they would come looking for him in his house.

<<Flashback<<

Why did Zolabin hate Mike’s father? Way back in school , Mike’s father Bill Ebuka was very poor. His own father( Mike’s Grandfather) was a watchman at Sunrise Academy and his mother(Mike’s Grandmother) was a seamstress.

In fact he was more than the word poor. At St. Morris Secondary school, he could barely afford a sachet of pure water. He had to ran away from school to wash plates at chop bars and shine shoes for others to get some money.

Despite his very poor background, he had

two things Zolabin didn’t have. He was very intelligent and handsome.

Bill was very fair, like those mullato babies the portuguese and the British left behind as by- products of their sexual activities with the local women before they left the coast of Nigeria. All the girls were dying for him. He was famous through no real efforts of his.

When Linda , the only daughter of chief Ekene, the Billionaire, came to St.Morris Secondary School, she was Zolabin’s friend for a few days before Bill, the wonderboy stole her from him.

Then there was Miss Lucy Ejioke’s Issue. Miss Lucy Ejioke was their English Teacher. Zolabin secretly loved her. He knew there was no way she would have loved him back because ,despite the ethical issue of a teacher not dating his or her student, Zolabin was labelled a bad boy in the school. If he was famous in St. Morris Secondary school, it was because of his bad deeds. He chase and jived ladies just like that.

He was satyromanic. Miss Lucy didn’t like him but Zolabin realised she had a soft spot for “Bill” the ladies boy. She would laugh with him, chat with him and assist him financially. Whenever Zolabin saw them, it hurt him and he hated Bill for that. Though Bill was his friend in principle, in secrecy, he saw him as his arc enemy.

There were rumours going round that Miss Lucy was even dating Bill. Sandra, one of the active gossips in the school then , alleged she saw Bill kissing Miss Lucy after class when all the students left.

In fact she claimed , she heard low moans coming from the Grade 11 classroom and went to find out what was happening. She alleged she saw Bill sitting on Miss Lucy’s lap , while Bill was kissing and caressing Miss Lucy’s breast,which were still encased in her bra.

Zolabin thought of how exciting and wonderful it would feel like, romancing and smooching his teacher’s breast and decided to give it a try and he indeed tried it.

Squeezing miss Lucy’s breast landed him in a Juvenile cell.

He was underage by then. As it turned out later, all the things Sandra claimed to have seen were all mere exaggerations. Bill had never kissed Miss Lucy.

But that could not stopped Zolabin from harbouring hatred for Bill.

Ironically, Bill never knew Zolabin hated him.

When he returned from Prison, he became a gateman for a certain military man who had two children, a son called Johnson and a daughter called Joanita. Zolabin saw himself getting attracted to the military man’s daughter.

Unknown to Zolabin, she was also attracted to him. Zolabin didn’t want to woo her because her Father was a military man and he knew what he would do to him if he realised he was interested in his daughter, let alone thought of having sex with her. Afterall, he was just a mere Gateboy.

Then ….
