June break - S01 E56

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 56

I went with Phil to the police station after two weeks
I wanted to see how Louise was enjoying his new cell
John was also going to be freed that week


He had spent two weeks and his sister kept pleading, asking me to forgive so that her brother can be freed.

I told her that it wasn’t in my power, John was very fast in jumping into conclusion and defending a crimiñäl like Louis

He got what he deserved and I’m sure that he had also learnt his lesson.

I told Cecil not to fright, John will return home to her.


They just wanted to teach him a little lesson, maybe next time he won’t be fast with his tongue


John was later released after two weeks and just within this period he has gone down drastically in size.


I guess is because of féâr, unrest and troubling feeling that comes with being in a police cell.

He wasn’t really beaten but they must’ve punished him in another way.


The lesson was well thought.

moving forward, he will be more focused in Life and try not to interfer in people’s afair that doesn’t concen him.

Visiting Louis in cell was to know if he was having the best moments of his life

The police brought him out and I saw he was only on his undies.
His ribs were begining to show off and he had dark patches on both his face and arms.


His left eye was swollen to the size of a small tangerine
The right eye has a blood shot on the white part of the ball.

He appeared as if he has been in cell for more than a year already with the way he was looking.


Is just two weeks and he looks unrecognizable, I wondered how he will look if he stays for more weeks.

“Are you enjoy your new home? Phil asked him

He tried to say something but no sound came out


He had tears gathered up in his eyes as he quickly bite his lips in regret before he quickly looked away.

“He asked you a question Louis, are you enjoying your new home..? I asked with a hard voice

“No..” he quietly replied

I rolled my eyes, pretending like I was really angry


“No? no what..? You’re still very disrespectful. I don’t think you want to leave here anytime soon. I said, throwing off my face to another direction.

“,No ma’am, no sir. There’s absolutely nothing to enjoy here. I regretted everything I put you through, every of my bād behavior towards you April, I didn’t know better but now I do…”

“You don’t have any right to look me in the eyes, you need to be trembling in fear because you don’t know the next thing that I’m cooking for you. The real regret will set in by the time I’m through with you…” I said

“Please, ma’am… April please. Forgive me, I’m truly sorry and wish I could go back in time and right every wrøng. I’m going to drop déãd if I stay in here another day, I may not last a night in that cell…”

“So do you have the money? I mentioned that you will pay April 50 million for everything you took from her, all the danger you put her through, the trauma, mental breakdown and emotional damages you caused in her life. Without the money you’re not getting out of here anytime soon..” Phil asked

“I don’t have it sir, I don’t even have up to a million in my bank account. You can check if you doubt me. I initially had a million plus but I paid my rent last month, there’s nothing much left with me again..”

Phil chuckled quietly and said
“April used to be the one enriching your pocket, she worked so hard for a whole year plus and you took all her money. You dëcéived her that you’re saving it but it was all a lie. Well, is unfortunate because you’re still going to produce that money. The only good that can do for you is for you to pay lesser amount, instead of 50 million, you can pay 20 million instead. That’s fair enough and I believe that is also affordable now for you..”

“No sir.. please, I don’t have anything aside what I just told you. I’m not lying. You go and do check on my bank account. I’m trying to be very truthful here sir, I don’t want to hide anything so that I don’t get into more trouble. I’m sorry, I’m deeply in regret of my actions. You and April should find it in your hearts to forgive…”

“Hey…. you didn’t do anything to me. Is April you should be asking for her forgiveness not me. But obviously, you’re not sorry, you’re just playing the victim and acting as usual..”

“I am sir. I meant every word and i can prove how sorry I am in any other easier way aside this drastic measures that’s carried out on me..”

“Shhuu shhuut up! what’s drastic about putting you in cell and giving you a little beaten? You’re only acting sorry because you’re at our mercy. You’re not really sorry Louis, you’re a good actor and wouldn’t be sorry if you weren’t caught. Please, stop with the “sir or ma’m”, I detest the sudden fake respect. I will let April decide later on what exactly she want to do with you. But be certain that you have a long time to spend in here..”

He was pleading as we walked out of there but we didn’t pay him any attention.

The next on my agenda was the long awaited journey.

I got ready to travel home.


My bag were set that weekend as Phil planned to take me to the airport.

I wanted to travel by road since I haven’t being on an aroplane before and don’t know how the outcome will be.

But Phil insisted that it was stress free and more comfortable


That once I arrive at the airport, there will be taxis that will convey me straight to my destination.


I agreed because it indeed sounded stress free and I wanted to experience being on an airplane for the first time.

I asked him what we were going to do with Louis since he was still in police net.


He said if I return back we will decide on letting him go but he should remain there for now.


I don’t intend staying long on this journey.

School will be resuming in two weeks,


I have only one week to spend back home that’s if everything goes well.

He booked my flight ticket and everything necessary for my traveling and was around that early morning to drive me to the airport.

I sincerely don’t know how to explain the way I feel about this whole traveling thing

I’m scared of the outcome and don’t know the kind of welcome or dejection I’m going to get.


But since my mind is totally made up and Phil is really on it, he wants me to go back home and right every wrøng, I just have to do this.

I hope it won’t be scandalous

Louis will remain in police custody until I return back
Until then, he should continue with his cell punishment.

I hope the outcome of my journey bring smile and not sadness.

Is about five years already, is really a long time.


Everything have changed since I left home.

I have dreaded this journey but I can’t run from my past
Is time to face it.

As a cab man drove me down, I was busy reminiscing over the past.

There was alot going through my mind and my heart beat was racing with speed.

I was feeling tense, not a little bit kind of tension, alot of it.

I described the place the cab man will drop me and it was not too far from my house gate.

When he stopped at the place, I was reluctant to get down.

“Madam, is it not this place again you want to get down..?

“Uhmm, is here..I will get down, please give me a minute..”

My phone began to ring.


Thanks goodness, it was Phil.

He asked me if I was home and I told him that I was almost home.


It was just a walk down.

I told him I was uncomfortable and don’t know what the outcome will be

He said I should go and find out. I have taken the right step and already home
If my people didn’t want me again then I should come back to him.


He will never turn his back on me.

The call from Phil helped me get hold of myself a bit.

I try to calm my racing heart as I walked out of the car and went to the car boot to pick up my fine, designer traveling box.

Is a very portable bag, it doesn’t look like a huge luxury but is worth alot.


All thanks to Phil who never stops pampering me with good things.

I paid the cab man and began walking towards my family house which was few feet away.

The whole place was looking new


The house have even been repainted and look finer.


I got to the gate, the small gate was not open which was unusual.

I knocked and in no time, there was a male voice asking who was there,


He opened the small space on the gate and peep through before opening the gate.

” Good day, who are you..? He asked.

“Oh! I’m.. I’m April..” I can’t think of a better way of introducing myself to the mean looking security guard on uniform.

“Who are you here to see..?

“The people living here..” I replied

He stared at me with questions written all over him.


I wondered why my parents decided to get a security on the gate and why will they employ a mean looking one.

This must be my dad’s idea, he thought putting a man like this on the gate will scâre off Intruders.

“…my people, my family live here, I’m a member of the family..” even though I sounded stúpíd in my own ears, but I just wanted to go face my major fear without all this obstruction.

“Are you related to my boss or my madam..”?he asked looking at me suspiciøusly.


Well, is understandable that he didn’t know that the are both my parents.

“The two of them, your boss and madam are my biological parents. Please let me through, I need to go in. As you can see I’m not a threat of any sort and shouldn’t be questioned like a crimiñäl.. this is my house..”

He gave a short sarcastic laughter

“Is not possible young lady. Madam and my boss can’t be your parents. They’re too young to have someone like you as a child. You could have said their relatives, maybe a sister or cousin but not a daughter. I can’t let you in because you’re lying…”

This guard doesn’t know what he’s talking about.


I’m even the third child, he doesn’t know that I have two either brothers and one is married and lives outside the country.

My parents probably are looking more younger and fresher than before because I see no reason why the security will feel my parents are not big enough to have me as daughter.

“Go and tell them that April, their daughter is at the gate first.


If they say they don’t know me, then I will walk away…”
“…as you can see I’m coming from a long journey, I need to get some rest. I will wait here..”

He looked at me all over again before going back inside.

I waited outside and after few minutes he came back and said that his madam said she doesn’t know me and they’re not expecting any relative.

I gasped out in fear
How can my Mom deny knowing me.


Where do I go from here now.

This whole thing was my fear.

The man walked back inside leaving me standing outside the gate.

I stood there for several minutes thinking of what to do

I decided to call Phil.

” Hey pretty, how did it go? I presume that it didn’t go as bād as you thought right..?

“It was even wørst Phil. They denied knowing me, they said they don’t have any daughter, or relative named April. I’m still standing here, thinking of what to do next. You know I told you this kind of thing will happen, my feârs were legit, you gave me the courage to come here and now I feel wørst. I’m in regret, I wish I never embarked on this journey..” I sobbed quietly


I wiped off the tears clouding my eyes.

“Relax.. calm down first, hold on April, who told you that they don’t know you.. your Mom or Dad?

I began to narrate everything that transpired between the security guard and I.

Phil asked me to go back and demand to see my parents or siblings face to face.

I told him I don’t have that right to demand for anything and I’m not going back there


The humiliation is too much, let me save myself from further embarrassment.

Phil asked me to go check into a hotel and get enough rest but the following day, I should return back and ask to see my parents personally.

I went to look for a hotel, I was directed to one but I don’t like the place.


Another cab man took me to one in the main town.


After checking two more, I finally checked into one.

I didn’t have appetit for food
I felt so heartbroken and disorganized

I spoke to Phil most part of the evening and night.


Early the following day, it was a weekend.


I didn’t get up early untill the hotel room service workers came to clean the room and I told them that they can do the cleaning later.

I return to bed and decided to see if I can sleep a little more.


In no time I dozed off but another knock woke me up
They brought in breakfast which I said they should bring for me by 9am

They kept to time and after getting the breakfast, I freshened up, take my breakfast and get ready to check out.

I left in a cab after speaking with Phil.

I went back to my parents house.

The mean security guy was not happy to see me and when I requested to see my people he refused to let me in.


I wasn’t going to give up

I stood and kept asking him nicely

He said the owner of house said they don’t know me.

I just wanted to see them and let them say so to my face then I will feel convinced and know how to move on.

I was standing by the gate when a car drove and stopped right in front of me.

The security opened the gate wide, as I looked inside the compound, a whole lot of things have changed
I can see flowers planted all around
Carpet grass and a small baby bicycle by the door.


The entire house have been repainted and it really looks good.

I began to wonder if I was at the right place.


If not that i spent my first 16 years in this house and know our house like the back of my palm, I could have doubted.

I would have assumed that I was in the wrøng address.

The young man in the car greeted me

I don’t know him and is not one of my relatives.


Maybe he’s looking for my brother Mark
Or could it be for Rachel my sister.

He was really a good looking young man with a nice accent.

He asked the security what was going on and he quickly narrated it in brief to him.

“Hi, you’re probably looking for the people that used to live here before. This property was sold to my brother three years ago, the former occupants no longer stay here. My brother who got married two years ago and welcome a son late last year lives here with his family..”

“Woah, are you serious..? I was shøcked at what I just heard.

My parents sold their house. My Dad built this place and we all grew up here. Why will he sell the house.

“Yea, The people you’re asking to see are no longer living here. They’ve moved..”

“Moved to where? Why will they sell..? I have so many question.

“I don’t know where they’re move to. I heard one of their kid went missing all of a sudden and after a year of the incident, they decided to move.

I was speechless.

“Uhmm..”

“Are you alright? He asked

“Yes, yes.. I’m fine. I will be on my way now. Thank you..”

As I turned to leave he asked me to wait

” I guess you’ve not been around for a long time and also have not been communicating with them. You probably don’t know your way around here. Let me drive you around if you don’t mind. Is weekend and I don’t have anything important on my plate. That’s if is okay with you..”

As I opened my mouth to reply, he interrupted
“… I’m Dennis by the way…”

“I’m April..” I replied quietly

“You’re beautiful. Pardon me but you’re really pretty…”

“Thanks..” I managed to say.

I admire the fact that he is cool and nice, just like Phil
And he doesn’t appear like a flírt.

My concern is finding my people and if he can help me out in that area, it will be great.

I will appreciate any help I get in locating my people.
