Made looked at Tade, then carried himself out. ***************** Wale pranced around the house, checking and half-hoping that Clara left any of her belongings. It was not to be. Clara had truly left and instead of feeling relieved, Wale was confused. He wanted her to leave, but now she had left, he felt a sudden vacuum in the house. A vacuum Nifemi will hopefully fill. He changed his clothes and dialed a number. "Hello sweety." A lovely voice ran out, more like a lullaby. "Nifemi my darling. How are you doing?" Wale asked. "Am fine, only that I have been busy, you know. All the hospital cases and situations and as a Head Nurse, I have to make sure everything is running smoothly." "Indeed, when you are not the Medical Director." "Abeg, make MD park himself go one corner! We make the hospital tick. So how far with what we discussed? I can't play a bit part role in anyone's life." "Yes, yes. She has even parked out and promised to send me the divorce papers tomorrow. So you are good to come in." She shouted, obviously happy. "So when should I move in?" "Whenever you want to. I understand you are a busy woman though." "Fine. I will come at the weekend." ********** The next day started bright and fair for Tade and his roommates. They all had few lectures that day and actually lazied around for much of the day. It was two in the afternoon when the public address system came up, requesting Tade's presence. Once he got there, he was in for a shocker. His mum was waiting for him. |

He looked shocked and askance, wondering what his mother was doing here. His mind obviously told him that something was wrong but it did not stop him from prostrating on the ground. "E dide omo mi."(Stand up my child) Clara spoke in full Yoruba, another surprise to Tade who had always heard her speak English. In fact he thought that she had forgotten her language. "Ba wo ni?"( How are you doing?) She asked, making some small conversations and asking about his academics as they moved to her car- a small Honda Camry. She drove to the sports car park and parked there, then she wound down her car windows. "Tade, there is something I need to tell you........." ************************* Jimmy waited in her department nervously. Sophie, who had called off their relationship based on him spending lack of quality time with her. Of course, the Axes comes first and he is eager to learn from Scorpion, if not from any other person. Yet and yet, he loved Sophie. He could swear to his mother's grave that he loved her and he could tell, even though she tries to mask it like most girls with 'iyanga' or 'shakara' do that she loves him. She always showed that she cared and wanted to be with him- even though she was kind by nature. There was just a little problem he had. She probably deserved a better man. |
Re: Tade - The Rise Of An Activist. by rapmike(m): 2:03pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
She deserved a better man than him. Not that he was unfaithful, he wasn't. But his life was one that was spent mostly in uncertainty- uncertainty of the next mission, next line of assignment his fraternity will place on him. He knew that a time will come that his life will be up for sale and only the strongest hit men will be able to buy it. It was not something that came from an instinct- its what he wanted and what he knew will happen. He joined the cult for this- which is to gain some such of recognition, not caring who he got it from. "Hello." He snapped out of his thoughts to see Sophie in front of him. "Wow, ermm.. Good morning." He managed to say as he caught himself licking his lips absent-minded. "So what were you thinking, that you did not notice me come? Am sure even if I carried a siren around, you won't be able to hear me. " "Am sorry. Was just thinking of classes." "Iffa hear! You were thinking of another babe, abi?" "Aha, Sophie. That's unfair." Jimmy quickly boned at her. "Anyway, that's your cup of tea. Am already going." She feigned anger and started to walk downsides, forcing Jimmy to chase her. "Sophie, Sophie, wait na. I swear, I was not thinking of someone else." "How am I sure? You never really showed that you valued me anyway, always busy. Am sure she is the one that is holding you down- Ohho, why did I call you sef?" "Sophie." He finally held her hand. "I swear, its not a lady that's on my mind. Or maybe it is- and the lady is you!" "Please, don't patronize me! Who are you trying to deceive?" "Am serious Sophie." He held her firmly and looked straight into her eyes. "I know that I have not been fair to you, I swear I do. I know that I have been busy with business. But I am serious when I say that I am thinking about you, Sophie." "I have missed you. I miss you presence, your talks, how you chide me for skipping classes, our talks in covered pavilion, how you keep inviting me for special church programmes- even though I don't come. I miss you Sophie and I want a chance to prove that to you. Sophie, please am serious here." He started to kneel down. 1 Like 1 Share |

The person who made up the phrase ' she stoops to conquer' must have observed how kneeling down while begging a person can turn things around. With students passing, Sophie knew that she had to act fast before it develops to a scene that the news boards will give. "Jimmy, stand up please." Jimmy refused her request and continued pleading, in a bid to get the desired effect. Soon enough, busy-body students and idle people started to pay more attention to them. "JIMMY STAND UP OR I WILL LEAVE!" Jimmy, sensing her anger, stood up gracefully, with Sophie dragging him back to her department and down to the basement, all in a bid to avoid the crowd. "Jimmy, what is that for?" Sophie eyes were brimming with anger. "Were you trying to embarrass me on purpose?" He smiled slyly at her. "Its was all because I love you. Sophie, I am begging you and I am serious. Look into my eyes and tell me otherwise." She searched his eyes with her inner 'torchlight', waiting to see any sign of insincerity. She could not find any. "Jimmy, listen to me first" She told him. "I don't hate you, in fact I like you a lot. However, I can't be in a relationship with a guy I see once in a month. Mistrust will breed and your lack of communication worsens things, not to talk of other girls that will be chasing you." Sophie looked at him with teary eyes. "I wanted to quit this relationship, but a friend asked me reconsider and I will do that with one condition- you will make time for me! Is that okay with you?" Jimmy hugged her. "Yes, Yes. I will make time out for us. I will do everything I can do to fulfil it." Both of them trudged together, very happy. 1 Like |

"What?" Tade could not comprehend what his mother was saying. Divorce? Guaranteed, he did not care about how their marriage was going, but at least it was a marriage. Now he will officially be a child from a broken home. "Yes, Tade. I know that you find it puzzling. I too. I never thought your father will hate me that bad to take me for granted, all because of your brother's death." Tade's heart knotted at that point. He had always felt that way when his brother's case was mentioned and this was no different. "Mum, please don't bring it up, it upsets me." He looked at her with teary eyes. For once Clara was seeing the pain that he endured back home, even if it was little. She hugged him tight. "Am sorry Tade, it hurts us all. I want you to be strong from now on. I know we have not been much of a family and I rarely have time for you, but be strong, you hear? I will make sure that I make out time to talk to you when you return home and you won't suffer otherwise, su gbo mi?"( Did you hear me?) Tade nodded his head as they left the car. "I have to go." She brought a nylon bag containing the obvious- goodies. "Take it" Tade moved and collected it from her. "I will see you soon, I am sure of that" She entered her car and drove off, Tade waving his hands towards her. ************************** Two days later, Mr Kunle Falade was done with his lectures when he saw Tade come up to him. "Good morning sir." Tade respectfully greeted him. "Morning Tade, how are you doing?" "Fine sir. Sir, can I see you for a minute?" "If its about the test I gave your class, I won't repeat it for anyone without a cogent reason." "Sir, its about my brother." "Not for discussion." He walked into his office,Tade following him. "Sir,please tell me" Tade pleaded. "My family has being suffering since his death and I still find it painful somewhere in my heart that he died here." "Yet you came to this school, to the same school your elder brother died, didn't you? Why bother about him now?" "Because somewhere in my heart, I feel like take revenge for him." Mr Kunle dragged him into the office and locked the door. 1 Like |

Tade felt a bit scared like he said a taboo until he saw Mr Kunle place his hands on his shoulders. "What do you know about revenge?" He looked sternly at him, with such eyes that Tade had to bend them down. "But,but my brother...... I can't just keep it out." "Tade, you are naïve. Have you ever taken a life before? Do you know how it feels?" Tade looked at him, unable to say a word, completely dumbfounded like one of those scenarios where you know any answer will aggravate the situation. "No! You have not! Sit down." He pointed to his seat, with Tade promptly resting his body there. "I know what you want, you want justice. You feel that your brother's death can't just go like that because it has turned your life upside-down and you want compensation." "Now, I trust that you see cultism as repulsive, yet you only see the death of those who caused you this agony as a reprieve." "Well, what you don't realise is that revenge only breeds revenge, because revenge is one-sided. Justice, on the hand considers the other side. Revenge only satisfies you, that if you are not left empty. You can't drive your life with revenge and in this case, it will not end with your mission's accomplishment. People, Powerful people will be coming after you and your life won't be safe, not to talk of the fact that its a crime." He held Tade up. "If you have anything else to say, tell me. But this revenge of a thing will destroy you, I can assure you. I am leaving my office now." Tade stood up and left, deep in thought. 2 Likes |

As Tade walked out, Chuks was walking into something he did not like. Another in-course was in place and as usual Dotun was not prepared for it. This time it was another student, Ronke that was involved and did not budge. People were expecting a fight, even a quarrel, but Dotun kept his cool. It was not for nothing. Ronke was a party girl and as such lived in town, Mayfair to be exact. She found campus boring ( more church programs) and always took to clubs to dance and party. This time around, one of her friends, a yahoo boy known as Fine boy ( for he was ugly but had some cash) was holding a party in her area and as usual, she was invited. Ronke, not the one to miss such a party, went for the party full prepared, slutty as they come. The party was blazing, with drinks and food aplenty, and the 'party' folks all present- the yahoo guys, the young, rich, spoiled kids, the 'aristos' and their babes, prostitutes posing as students and free flowing party folk. As she drank and ate, she was invited to dance by a handsome dude (okay, he was not that handsome but he was okay). Drunk already, she did not mind dancing with him as she did not care. Her dance was disoriented and tiring. As soon as the 'dude' noticed that, he suggested that they should drive to his place. Normally, Ronke won't have given a thought to it, but alcohol is a bast*rd, she damned it and followed him to a Range Rover as he drove away. They were already gone past Lagere and entering Sabo when Dotun choked his head from the rear seat. "Ronke, how are you?" |

Ronke suddenly woke up. She heaved a sigh of relief,seeing herself in a house not in a car. At least I did not go to the party, she thought. As she attempted to move, she noticed her legs were bound. Realizing that save for her head and trunk, she could not move any part of her body, she began to cry, attracting the attention of her captors. Soon enough, the lights were on and she found, much to her dismay that her legs and hands were separated, making her open to any intrusion to her v*gina. The dude who took her away from the party soon stood up and walked towards her, touching her from the neck upwards and slapping her n*ked b*obs, causing her pain. As she looked at him with pleading eyes, he shook his head but removed the cloth used to block her mouth. Dotun soon came forward, with six other hefty men, semi-naked and holding condoms. Ronke's eyes expanded as it occurred to her that she was to be gang-raped. "Dotun, please I beg you in the name of God, Jesus, Allah, Mohammed, whatever God you worship, don't do this." She said, tears freely flowing from her eyes. Dotun and his men started to laugh, their laughter being amplified by her tears. "Where do you think you are? Who do you think you are talking to? You were feeling important because I asked you for expo, abi?" He said, snarling at her. "Cold-boy!" He called one of the six men, a hefty dark dude with broad chest and six packs, who was naked from his head to his feet (unlike the rest who wore their shirts but allowed their dicks and legs to hang free). As he approached, Dotun gave a hand sign and pointed to Ronke. Within a split second, she had received two slaps on her face and had her mouth stuffed with cloth. "Oya, make we start" Ronke's eyes widened much more as she made a futile struggle to break free from her bonds, causing her captors to laugh. |
