Arrested By Love

Episode 29

26 DAYS LATER
Ebube became fully well and put back into jail. One could see him on prison uniform as he sat opposite Amara in the visitors’ room.
“I never knew your father is the person i killed. God!” Ebube shouted bitterly then began to rub his head.

“Is okay” Amara gently took his hands in tears. “You only avenged your father’s death so don’t blame yourself. Now i know how you feel. I’ll testify against my father in court so that you’ll be free, after which I’ll go back to Paris” she added.

“Thank you. Please, forgive me” Ebube said.
“Is okay” Amara replied.

It was the judgement day, Daria anticipated to see Ebube walking into their compound because she didn’t follow them to the court. Her parents were inside the house but only her mother occasionally looked at her restless daughter through the window. Suddenly, Lana arrived to see Daria looking worried.

“You look worried. Don’t worry he will be fine” as she just concluded, Ebube and Amara walked in.

“Ebube!” Daria shouted. She ran and hugged him tightly then Lana and Amara smiled.

“Did you win the case?” Daria asked.
“Yes, i did” Ebube replied and hugged her again.

All entered inside the house and got seated. Mr Alfred sat beside his wife while Daria sat beside Ebube. On another seat were Amara and Lana.

“My son” Mr Alfred began. “Is good to have you here but next time make sure you don’t embark on such dangerous mission again. Though i know is painful to lose the one we love but vengeance is for God alone. Well, at least my daughter will rest from crying and i will also rest from seeing her tears because ever since u came into this land as Red, she has been cry…”

“Father!!” Daria interrupted him just to stop him from talking so they all laughed.
“Bia Daria or Dairy, allow me to talk. Or am i lying?” the father continued. “My daughter never slept! Day and night she cried calling your name here and there. I thank God you survived oh coz i don’t know where she would have been by now”

“That you very much sir. I’ve heard all that you said but i want to make a request” Ebube began. “Please sir, can i be your son in-law?”

Everybody became surprised except Daria coz Ebube had briefed her on it.
“Well, no problem if it’s her wish” Mr Alfred replied.

“It is Father” Daria said.
“Then case close” they laughed.
