They went to the car and drove off to the police station,they met with the D.P.O and complained everything to him,he as-signed two police men to them that will go with them to the village since Micheal have connection with the Commissioner of police it did not waste them time.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
I have been away from my village for like a year now and going back there is doing me somehow because i donât know how the villagers and my mother will react when they set their eyes on me.
I have alreday vowed not to set my feets back to this village again but thereâs nothing I will do since I have to prove my innocent to them and for that doctor to suffer for destroying my life.
Five hours later,we got to the village and went straight to the community hospital,I saw the doctor coming outside.
âThatâs the doctor!
I pointed at them.
âWe nee-d to speak to you Doctor Kennyâ
Micheal shouted to his hearing.
He saw us and stand still waiting for us to approach him,he bec@mÂŁ so shocked when he saw me with the police men.
âShock to me see me?
I asked.
âIs that you Esther Kanu?
He asked being so shocked.
âOh yes! Is me Doctor Kenny you think by now I will be dead by committing suicide?
I shouted.
âSo you are the danm doctor that ruined this innocent girlâs life and future by faking a fake test result?
Micheal shouted with anger.
âNo! I did not fake any test result,it was a mistake was made by one of my nursesâ
He said trying to prove his innocent.
âMay that mistake kill you there! Well no time to waste you will explain yourself at the police station,officers arrest himâ
He shouted.
âI did not do anything,what happened was a mistakeâ
He said as the police men handcuff him.
We took him to the head of the village council and narrated everything to him,he pitted me and told us that he will settle the matter with his cabinets along side with the villagers at the village square.
He pas-sed the message to his cabinets immediately to meet at the village square and for them to gathered the villagers.
We left the police men and the doctor at that place and we went down to my house,I nee-d to see my mother and brother Obinna.
When we got to the house,I met my mother spre-ading her clothes she saw me and threw the clothes,she rushed to me and fell down on her kneels with tears.
âMy daughter Esther I never imagined that I will see you again,plea-se forgive me for all the wrongs and the bads things I did to you,forgive me for disowning you and called you all manners of names,forgive me for not been there and standing for you as the villagers mocked and humiliated you,I know i did not deserve to be call your mother and I know I did not deserve to be forgiven but plea-se find it a place in your heart and forgive meâ
She cried out.
I held her hands with tears,
âplea-se stand up mother,I have forgiven you as why am hereâ
I wiped her tears and took her up and hvgged her.
âWhen I found out the test result that proved you are HIV positive was not actually yours I donât know where I will go,the city i will go and find you and tell you the real truthâ
She cried.
âMama thatâs the more reason why we are here,your daughter has visited hell in the hands of this villagers all because of that danm doctor and he will not go freeâ
Micheal said.
âYes Mama! The head of the village council has pas-sed a message for the villagers to gather at the village square thatâs where we will be going right nowâ
I said.
âOkay,wait for me let me lock the doorâ
She rushed and locked the door.
We got to the car to the village square,on our way I remembered my brother Obinna.
âThat reminds me Mama,what of brother Obinna?
I asked and her face changed automatically.
âYour brother was killed!
She cried out.
âKill! How? By who?
I asked being so confused.
âYour brother was involved in robbery,kidnapping and also killing people so the police men caught them and executed them by burning him and his colleagues into ashesâ
She said in tears.
âOh mine! My own brother involved in such a criminal acts now I got no brother againâ
I cried out.
âItâs well Esther! You are now the only one I have now and I wonât allow anything bad to happen to you againâ
She said as she wiped my tears.
When we got to the village square,the villagers has alreday gathered,when I c@mÂŁ down from the car the people were so shocked to see me,they started whispering among themselves saying,
âIs this person Esther or someone else?
âShe suppose to be dead by now whatâs she doing here?
âMaybe she is not the one,it could be her twin sister we donât knowâ
The head of the village council stood up and said with a microphone đŁ for the people to hear him.
âI called this meeting for the case of Esther and Doctor Kenny,Esther and Doctor Kenny should come up and face the peopleâ
He said.
We c@mÂŁ out and the people faces was written with so much shock as they saw the doctor with an handcuff and a police men surrounded him and wondering what he commit.
âDoctor Kenny here made a very hvge mistake which led to the mockery,the flogged and humiliations that was given to Esther,according to Doctor Kenny he said his nurse made a mistake with the test result by given Esther the wrong result which proves of her for being positive with HIVâ
He said.
âDoctor Kenny how could you! How could you do such a thing?
The people shouted raining abuses on him.
âQuite people! Esther deserve a sincere apology from us because what we did to her was bad,we really dealt with herâ
He said.
The villagers go down on their kneels both the young and the old,they poured out their sincere apology to me with their faces covered in pains for what they did to me.
âStand up my people! Who am i not to forgive you all? Am so happy that the truth has been revealed and my people has known the real truthâ
I said to them.
âI will now leave you all to decided on what to do to the Doctor because is what you people said I will doâ
He said to them.
âDoctor Kenny deserve to be punish!
They all choursed including the cabinets.
âBut my people I did not do anything,it was only a mistakeâ
He shouted.
âWhether a mistake or not you deserve to be punish so that next time you will be extremely careful and not destroying peopleâs lives againâ
They shouted.
âSince our people has agreed to punish Doctor Kenny so police men do your workâ
He pas-sed his judgement and dismissed the villagers.
Some people c@mÂŁ and asked for my forgiveness again in tears I forgave them,i searched for my best friend Chioma I did not see her maybe she now base at the city with her husband and kid or so.
We canât go back to Lagos since it is alre-ady late so it will be tomorrwo,Doctor Kenny was locked up at the police station while the two police men and Micheal will be pas-sing the night at our house since we have a enough room for them.
âThank you so much! Thank you for persuading in my life had it been i did not met you i wouldnât have known the real truth about myself and also my people wouldnât have known,thank you once again I will be forever be greatful to youâ
I said with my heart filled with gratitude.
âItâs well Esther and am also happy that you are happyâ
He said and hvgged me.
âMake yourself comfortable let me help Mama at the kitchenâ
âOkay!
I went to the kitchen to as-sist Mama in preparing the dinner.
âWhat are you doing here? You nee-d to go and restâ
She said.

âBut am not complaining so I nee-d to help you out in the kitchenâ
âOkay ooo! Help me to cut the vegetablesâ
âI will do that right awayâ
I collected the vegetables and started cutting it.
âAm so happy my daughter that the truth has been revealed to the villagers and they went down on their kneels to ask for your forgiveness,what we did to you was so terribleâ
She said.
âItâs okay Mama,I have forgiven and I hold no grudges against anyb©dyâ
âMama what of Chioma,I know she is married by now?
I asked feeling so excited to know how my friend is doing.

She said.

I said feeling so sad.
âYou donât have to curse the driver beside we are not sure if what the husband told us is actually what happened to herâ
âWhy did you say so mother?
I asked confusedly.
âPeople said he used her for money ritual and nemesis has caught upon him thatâs why he is running mad right nowâ
She said.
âRitual! Mad! Where did you get such news from?
I asked still confused.
âWhen I heard it I thought it was all a rumor until I saw him with this my koroko eyesâ
âAsking you went to his village to confirm if he is actually running mad?
âOh yes I did! Then I believed what the people said is truthâ
âMama this is unbelievable! If true Emekaâs hands are in the Chiomaâs death that madness shall be permanent on himâ
âSo shall it be!
Mama shouted.
