My Soul

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 16

Best visited Uche at the hospital with Perpetual after learning about the incident. She brought food and beverages for him.

Meanwhile, Uche had regained consciousness already.

“How do u feel now?”Best asked in concern

Uche gave a painful smile

“Truth be told, I am nowhere near being fine. It feels like my whole body is on fire”

Perpetual sighed. “Did I not warn you about that girl? Just look at how they battered you like a common criminal without pity. Didn’t I tell u they have blood of terrorists? Didn’t I?”

“Mom please.. Not now, all he needs right now is our love and support “Best said and Perpetual hissed

“Love and support ko.. I just thank God for teaching him a lesson.. He deserves everything that’s happening to him because I warned him!”She said moving out of the ward.

Best shook her head and looked at Uche

“Please don’t take her words to heart OK? You’ll be fine”

Uche nodded slowly.

Nurse Loveth walked in with the Doctor and Best stood up to create space for them to attend to Uche.

After examining him for a while, the Doctor said to Nurse Loveth.

“Please place another drip on him..and give him that injection I told u about to subsidize the pains..”

She nodded

“Uche, you’ll be fine OK? There’s just little broken bones here and there but it didn’t affect any of your vital organs.. Say a week or two, you’ll be able to move around on your own”The Doctor said

“Thank you Doctor”Best said and Uche nodded in thanks to the Doctor too.

CHIEF FELIX’S RESIDENCE

The atmosphere was tensed. Pascal looked angry and bitter while Jide looked confused. The rest sat uptight looking at the two brothers.

“Which Jummy are u talking about?”Jide asked

“My girlfriend of 7years ago. The one you killed with your reckless driving… Jummy was the only girl that I’ve ever loved and will ever love. You shattered my happiness and expect me to be fine??!”Pascal screamed..

FLASH BACK

Jummy paced to and fro in front of City Gate hotel impatiently waiting for her boyfriend Pascal who hadn’t shown up.

She called him again for the umpteenth time.

“Pascal where are u nau? You’ve been keeping me waiting for almost 2 hours now!!”

“Please baby, am sorry.. My car developed a fault just few metres away and my mechanic is yet to arrive..”

“So what am I going to do now? I don’t even have any money on me to leave here..i didn’t bring my car also because u promised to pick me up from here.. Am just frustrated!!”

“Just hold on, I’ll get back to u now..”

Pascal called his brother Jide on phone.

“Boda mi, please where are u?”Pascal asked immediately Jide picked up the call.

“Around Lane5..heading to City Gate hotel to chill with my friends.. Wanna join us?”

“Oh ThankGod… Please boda.. Jummy is in front of the hotel and I can’t meet her up now as my car has developed fault.. Can u please keep her company till am able to come? Pleaseee”Pascal begged

“No problems aburo mi… Just tell her to wait for us in front of the gate..”

“Eshe sir”Pascal thanked him, ended the call and relayed the plan to Jummy.

Soon, Jide and his friends arrived and indeed, Jide tried all his best to keep Jummy company as he bought her drinks and food, gisting with her and his friends.. Jummy became relaxed and laughed and rolled with them totally forgetting about Pascal.

Few minutes past 10pm, Jide’s friends said the place was boring and they should head to the club for more fun as it was a Friday night.. They all agreed even though they were drunk and they left the hotel to the club…

On the way, They had a ghastly motor accident and Jummy died…

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Pascal was already in tears as he narrated this incidence to them..

“Honestly, I can’t really remember what happened that night…i woke up and found myself on the hospital bed.. Am sorry if I indirectly have a hand in the death of Jummy.. Please forgive me..”Jide pleaded but Pascal stood up and headed upstairs…

Fauzi skipped classes that day to visit Uche who had been discharged 2days before.

He was given two weeks off from the office so as to recuperate well enough.

She prepared beans and plantain and brought for him.

Uche ate hungrily..

When he was done, Fauzi took the plates to the kitchen and came back to keep him company.

“So how are u feeling now?”She asked touching his bandaged head carefully.

“Alot better”He smiled..

“I really want to apologize for everything you went through in the hands of my father because of me…”

“It’s okay baby, these things happen.. And am ready to endure more if only I can be with u at the end”

Tears dropped from Fauzi’s eyes..

“Uche am scared”

“Of?”He asked sitting up

“That you might get tired of everything and leave me..”She cried

“Come on! I can never do that.. You are my soul, my heart, my body.. I can’t even imagine the possibility of letting you go.. No matter what happens..”

“Then prove it!”

“How?”Uche asked

“Let’s take a blood oath and seal it with my virginity..”She said with all seriousness..

“Fauzi.. What about our oath of chastity? we vowed never to go sexually intimate till we get married”

“I don’t care about that..if u love me, let’s do this..”

Uche breathed in.. “OK love, anything for u”

Fauzi smiled and reached out for her bag, brought out a new razor blade.

“Give me your right thumb”She told Uche..

He did.. she cut him and he sighed in pains..

She gave him the razor and stretched her right thumb to him.. He cut her too..

And they bought exchanged hands as they s—-d each others blood..

“Together for life.. Only death can separate us” Fauzi said

“Forever and ever.. Only death can separate us”Uche said..

They smiled and hugged each other..

Fauzi stood up and began to undress.. She stood stark naked in front of Uche who admired her body.. He couldn’t believe how endowed she was under her hijab..

She slowly got on top of him and devoured his lips with so much passion….

Vicky was crying in her house.. she couldn’t believe Pascal had dumped her after so many years of their secret rendezvous.

After all his promises..

If he had only dumped her, it’d have been better.. He had told her so many painful things that she couldn’t bear and she knew now how stupid and wicked she had been all these years to snitch on her friend for a man.

She had aborted 4 pregnancies for Pascal all these years and now, she had just returned from the hospital where her Doctor had told her that she has so many complications and wouldn’t be able to conceive again in her life.

She broke down in more tears.. This is Karma!

There was nothing she was living for.. She was just an orphan and Janne had taken her as a sister but she repayed her with betrayal.

She looked at the bottle of Fanta she had mixed with Sniper..

Looked at the letter she had written and cried the more..

This is her end.. She brought her phone and sent a text message to Janne..

She then put the letter on the table and emptied the Fanta..

“Lord have mercy and accept my wretched soul..”

Soon, she was wringling in pains on the floor with foam coming out of her mouth…
