CHAPTER TWENTY JAMIL It was almost 7pm when i got to my attraction's house. I pulled out my phone and placed a call across to her, letting her know that i was parked outside the gate. Few minutes after, she stepped out of the compound looking Embellished. She was on a blue strapless bodycon gown that accentuated her curves. Her small breast stood firmly in the dress and her big ass protruded from behind. A red heels and a red bag. Her natural hair was packed up in a bun and as usual, she wore no make up. "Good evening" she greeted the moment she entered the car. "Evening. How are you?" I asked driving off. "I'm fine. How was work today?" She asked. "Work was fine and today was crazy" I said remembering Gabriel's death. "Crazy how? What happened?" She asked. "Someone i was supposed to meet with in the morning died before i even got there" I sighed. "Ouch. Sorry about that" she said. I nodded and glanced briefly at her. "How is everyone at home?" I asked coming to a stop when the light turned red. "They are fine. Mama said i should greet you" she replied. "What does your sister do? Is she schooling? Is she working?" The traffic light had turned green at the moment, i sped off. "She is taking lessons on JAMB. By next year she should be an undergraduate" she gave me a side glance. "Send me her full name tomorrow or later tonight. The company will place her on a full scholarship" I swerved my car to the right. "No. You have done enough. Let us handle this one" she let out a smile. "It's not open for debate. I can't be awarding scholarships to other people and not do the same for your sister. Just send me her name. The company will give her a full scholarship" I said in a semi commanding tone. "Yes boss" she gave a mock salute. I drove into Genesis eatery and parked my car. I unstrapped my seatbelt and she did the same too. We walked into the eatery and sat at a table just at the extreme. I signalled a waitress who rushed to our table with a paper in her hand. "Good evening sir, good evening Ma. What would you like to have?" The waitress asked. "I will have spaghetti Bolognese and a bottle of water" I said. She nodded while scribbling down on the paper she held. She turned to my attraction. "What of you ma'am?" She asked. "Let me have white rice and chicken sauce. Water will be fine" she replied. The waitress nodded and left. "Where do you stay?" She asked. "Agbama Estate. House Eleven" I replied. "Okay" she shrugged. "I will invite you over one of these days" I smiled at her. She only nodded. I suddenly had the feeling of been watched. The hairs on my neck stood and my hands suddenly started shaking. I looked around the eatery, nobody paid attention to our table. "Are you okay?" She asked. "I think someone is watching me. I can feel it" I replied still looking around. She looked around too and concluded that i must be exhausted from work. I nodded in agreement. I looked outside the eatery through the glass partition and i saw a silhouette of a man. Immediately he noticed i was looking, he ran off. It suddenly felt like i saw my uncle. I didn't see the person clearly but i had a nagging feeling it was my uncle. The waitress brought our food disrupting my thought. I stared at my hands and surprisingly, they had stopped shaking. I picked up the fork and delved into my meal. We ate in silence until i spoke up. "While you are sending your sister's details to me, add your account details too" I forked a few of spaghetti sticks into my mouth. "My account details kwa? What do you want to do with it?" She asked raising her brows at me. "I want to place you on a monthly salary. I would have employed you but i can't have my babe working for me" I drank water before i continued eating. "I won't even agree to that. You are making us look like parasites. The ones you have done are enough. I will take it up from here" she replied. "Babe" I sighed dropping the fork i was holding "I will die soon and i have millions of dollars in my account that need to be spent. I want to die knowing that you and your family won't suffer again in life. Please let me die a happy man. Paying you two hundred thousand naira every month is nothing to me" I added. She looked shocked. "Two hundred gini?" She exclaimed. I wasn't igbo but i knew "gini" meant "what". "Just how rich are you?" she continued. "Very rich. Very very very rich. I can place a hundred unemployed people on a substantial salary income and still not go broke in the next decade to come. Do you know the funny part of it? The more i spend, the more i make more money" I smiled. "Well done ooo Nigerian Bill gate" she replied sarcastically. I let out a laugh. "Let me spend money on you. Eat my money, infact drain me" I chuckled picking up the fork again. "Let's do it this way. You can go ahead and place me on a salary but once i get a job, you will stop" she said. "Okay. I agree" I said. Of course it wasn't going to be like that. I would add her name as one of the staffs to be paid and even when i must have died, the money would continue to roll in. I grinned at her. She raised her brows at me in confusion. 5 Likes |

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE NONYE I was laying down lazily on my bed as late as 10am. I yawned again for the umptieth time since i woke up that morning. I wondered why Mama hadn't barged into my room to chase me out. My phone rang, I stretched my hand and took it. I smiled as i saw who the caller was. "Bill Gate the second" I teased. "Good morning babe" he replied groggily. "You didn't go to work today?" I asked looking at the wall clock. "No. I'm home today. I'm not feeling too well" he answered. "What is the problem?" I asked sitting up. "I feel weak to the bones" he replied sluggishly. "Have you eaten?" I asked. Concern laced in my voice. "Yes i have. Bella made salad for me and i have been feeling sick since then. Babe i don't know how I'm feeling right now" he explained through laboured breaths. "Have you taken your drugs? Should i come over?" I asked. "Babe I thi....nk." he stuttered before letting out a heavy cough. "Bl..ood. i co..ugh..ed out blo..od" he muttered before everywhere went silent. "Jamil? Hello? Babe can you hear me?" I spoke into the receiver but got no response. I looked at my phone screen, the call was still reading. "Jamil please say something you are scaring me" I said already tearing up. When i got no response again, i dashed out of my room. I met my mom in the living room watching TV. "You finally decided to wake up" she scoffed. "Mama i will be right back, I think Jamil needs my help" I spoke wiping the mucus that had rolled out of my nose. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Mama i don't know. I was talking with him on the phone and then he coughed out blood. Mama please I'm coming" I said rushing out. I almost stopped when it dawned on me that i didn't even know where he lived. Just then, i remembered he gave me his address the previous night at the eatery. "Driver Agbama Estate" I shouted at a cab driver i saw. "Madam na 1k ooo" he said. I jumped into the cab and urged him to go. My phone started ringing and "Mama" stared right back at me on the screen. I ignored the call and let it ring out. When we got to the Estate gate, the driver asked me for the house number which i provided immediately. As soon as we got to House Eleven, i jumped down from the cab and rushed towards the gate. "Madam you never pay me ooo" the driver said stepping down from the car. I ignored him and knocked heavily on the gate. It flung open immediately and a young man looked at me from head to toe. It was then i remembered i was still in my night wear. "Good morning. Is this Jamil's house?" I asked praying he would say yes. "Yes and you are?" He asked. "Madam my money" the driver said beside me. I didn't even notice when he got to my side. "Please we don't have time for this. Jamil needs my help right now" I explained to the gateman. He looked at me like i had ran mad. I pushed him off from the gate and ran into the compound. He chased me together with the driver. I got to the house and knocked repeatedly on the door. After a few minutes, a young lady stepped out looking at me in confusion. "You must be Bella. Jamil has told me a lot about you" I said impatiently. "Okay. You are?" She asked. "Madam she is a mad woman. Don't even listen to her" the gate man said. "Please i think Jamil is in trouble. I was talking with him on the phone and then he said he wasn't feeling fine and then he coughed out blood" I explained to Bella. "Blood?" She asked. "Oh my God blood" she said running into the house while i and the gateman followed keenly. We climbed the stairs and rushed into the first room by the left. Jamil was sprawled on the floor lifeless. Blood stained the white marbled floor. "Jamil baby I'm here" I said kneeling close to him. "Jamil?" Bella called tapping him. I held his head on my hand and felt his pulse. "He is still breathing let's take him to the hospital" I yelled. We carried him with the help of the gateman and rushed out. The driver still stood at the same spot we left him. "Thank God you are still here. Please take us to the hospital" I said sniffing. He wanted to argue but when he saw tears in everybody's eyes, he nodded and rushed out to get his car ready. I cried all the way to the hospital. When we got there, nurses rushed out with a stretcher and placed Jamil on it. We were told to wait outside the theatre while they worked on him. I sat moodily on a bench and rested my chin on my hand. "I need to call Dad" Bella said to no one in particular. She brought out her phone and dialed a number before placing it on her ear. "Dad Dad" she sniffed. "It's Jamil. We are at the hospital" she cried. "I don't know. We just saw him sprawled on the floor in his room" she explained amidst tears. I looked away when my own tears started pouring. "Okay Dad" she said before she ended the call. She leaned on the wall and continuously looked at the door to the theatre. After a few minutes, an elderly man rushed towards Bella fidgeting. "Oh Dad" Bella screamed running into his embrace. "Where is he? Where is my son?" The elderly man asked. I concluded that it must be his uncle. "They are in the theatre. They are not even telling us anything" she cried. "How did it happen? What happened?" He asked. "I don't know Dad. He said he was going to rest today. I made breakfast for him, he ate and went to his room. I was in the kitchen washing the dishes when this young lady came" at that point she nodded at me. Her father looked at me and nodded in confusion. "And said we should check on Jamil. When we got there, he was sprawled on the floor" she continued. "It's okay. He will be fine. Let's wait for the doctor to come out" he consoled her even though his own eyes were teary. The door to the theatre opened and the doctor came out. We all rushed to him and bombarded him with questions. "Calm down everyone. He is stable now and conscious too" he said with a smile. I let out a breath i had been holding since. "Can we see him now?" Bella asked. "Yes but not all at once. You can go in and see him one after the other. Just give the nurses a minute to take him to the ward" he explained before leaving. We agreed that his uncle should go first and then Bella before me. We all matched to the ward where the nurses took him to. I sat down on a bench i saw and Bella joined me too. "Who are you to Jamil?" She asked out of the blue. "I'm his friend" I answered. "A special friend i guess. For him to tell you about the sickness" she smiled for the first time since i saw her that morning. I was about to reply when her father came out from the ward. "My turn" she said standing up. Her father stared at me in a manner i didn't like. He gave me a sinister smile before walking down the vestibule. I shook my head as if trying to shake off the feeling. Bella came out some minutes after and said Jamil requested to see me. I let out a breath before going in to see the love of my life. The moment i stepped in, he stared at the door and when he saw it was me, he broke into a smile. "Hey" he said weakly. "Hey" i replied standing a few feets away from the bed. He scrutinized me from head to toe and i felt shy when his gaze lingered on my breast. I wasn't wearing anything underneath. I folded my hands against my chest and looked away in embarrassment. It was at such point in time that i thanked God for giving me a small breast. "Come and sit close to me" he said gently hitting the space he created on the bed for me. I nodded and walked towards him. 5 Likes |
