Tunji moved to Sparrow &asked him d same question,
“Where is Belina”
Sparrow looked very strong &rugged so Tunji knew that he had to be careful with him no
matter d answer.
“Oga, we do wetin we ask u to do o, but that girl be winch, we no even know as she leave our front & d next thing we see be say, we dey pursue her & b4 we open our eyes, close
am, she don enter motor”, he said & then pointed at his leg,
“see, see my leg… d motor almost killed me” .
Tunji wished he had a gun to shoot him dead instantly, but instead, he faced Tolu.
“What is d meaning of this now? what kind of rubbish is this? i should be at d airport now, ehn…”
“i am sorry, Tunji, i didn’t know that these idiots would spoil
things this way”, Tolu said
Tunji glared at him. i want to see Belina today, did u hear me?
Today. If u don’t have belina with u, make sure u have my money” he said & pushed
Sparrow into d bush as he made for his car.

Mr Badmus got to d airport much earlier than he ought to & he sat down in his car
waiting for Tunji. he put on d radio in his car & 4d first time in a long while, he danced to d music which was being
played in d radio.
After he had waited for one hour & hadn’t seen Tunji & Belina, he called Tunji’s line. He did not
pick d first time so he called d 2nd time, already getting worried.
Tunji picked d phone
“Hello, Tunji. I have been at d airport for over an hour now &
i have not seen u, what is up?”
.
“Oh pls, spare me all that. That miserable daughter of urs is
nowhere to be found”, he replied.
Shocked, he screamed,
“WHAT?”
“Pls, don’t deceive me, are u telling me that u know nothing
about this”, Tunji asked shouting angrily.
“Ahn, Tunji…”
“Don’t ahn tunji me. if u don’t produce ur daughter today, be
ready to return all d money i have been giving u since this
matter started. I have been recording it & I have given u nothing less than 180, 000 Naira.
Don’t joke with me o, failure to produce any of d two, i would
get u arrested. U should
know, without me telling u that i mean what i just said & i
have enough power to back me up”, Tunji said and hung up.

I entered d dining room along side prisca & immediately Mrs
Jegas, Prisca’s mother, saw me,she jumped from her seat &
came to hold me tenderly. She had been almost like a second
mother to me ever since she knew me as her daughter’s friend. Her husband was also in d same vein although he covered his own; men’s characteristics. She was also so
emotional so i was not surprised when i saw her face swimming
with tears. The little display of affection made me feel sick cos it made me remember what it had been like with my mother. My
mother was not one who was perfect, infact, she was one of
the most imperfect people on earth but i loved her all d same.
I quickly cleared some air by saying, “mum, it is not a big deal… or maybe it is but i am
fine”
“No u look tired baby, come & sit down”, she said &moved me to a seat & quickly stuffed my plate with food.
Mr Jegas, prisca’s father who could not hide his anger later
said as we ate, “How can a man do this to his own daughter? He
must be dealt with” He looked at me & said, “u can stay here for as long as u want &
anything u need, u can count on us”.
I muttered my sincere
appreciation & went to hug them lovingly. I sat down on my sit & i looked at Prisca who
was smiling at me
Mr. Badmus drove like a mad man back to his house & two times, almost collided with two vehicles because of his mental
distraction. He got home &sluggishly dragged himself into d house but once he got inside d sitting room, he sat down on d floor with his back against d door & put his hands on
his head.
“Ah… I am finished”, he yelled,
“Belina has killed me… she has finished finished me, she ruined
all my plans, &… & where…
ah, where would I get d one 180,000 from today, ehn?”
He remembered how Belina’s mother, Linda, with d circumstances surrounding d time & cursed that day with all
his might. Since she came into his life, everything had gone
from good to bad & from bad to worse & now that he had a
chance to re-write his destiny,that witch has snatched that chance away from him giving
him more problem than he ever bargained for.
He had been 28yrs
old when he met Linda. He didn’t know d love of a mother cos she was always on
business trips not giving a d--n about whatever happened to
him but as busy as his father was he still had time for him. He had
been on a journey with his father one day when he was 25 when they got involved in an
accident. The accident did not claim his life but it claimed his father’s life. When he became
28, he went to d
doctor cos he had slept with several girls without protection & did not record any of them coming to him with d ‘I am pregnant’ story. a test had been
carried out which brought his worst nightmare to light. The
doctor had looked him straight in d face & said, “…I am sorry, u can never be able to
impregnate a woman”.
