Episode 11
Loraâs question got everybody surprised in
the forest. Jasper didnât care rather sat
down on the ground still trying to catch his
breath. However, Sarah herself didnât know
what to answer her sister as she stood
beside Benlo as if they had known each
other for years. When the quietness
lingered, Lora repeated her question in
different way, âSarah, how come you know
Benlo?â
âI donât know him, i mean i didnât know
himâ she replied.
âBut you know him now, right?â
Sarah remained quiet while Benlo interfered.
âListen, Lora, there is something going on in
the spiritual world. Your sister and i have
never met except few hours ago but i
believe we were meant to meet at the blue
river after we expressed our feelings and
thoughtâ
âWhat feelings and thought?â
âItâs obvious your sister and i have been
having feelings and thinking about the blue
river for years. We meeting here at the same
time has a significantâ
âWhat significant?â
âI donât know!â Benlo concluded.
They all remained quiet again looking at one
another except Jasper who seemed
uninterested. He was actually thinking about
the gold he couldnât get in his hands. Benlo
asked him, âJasper, what are you both doing
here?â
âAre you kidding me?â Jasper glared at him
in a funny way. âI should be asking you
what youâre doing with a girl youâve never
seen or met. The most painful part of it is
that, you were so carried away by her
beauty that you didnât even notice the golds
in the riverâ
âBut i have oneâ Benlo brought out a gold.
âWow!â Jasper stood up instantly and
collected it. âIâm rich!!â he shouted and
looked at him. âBut I couldnât pick any,
why?â
âI have no ideaâ Benlo answered.
Just then, Sarah remembered when her
sister mentioned the name âBenloâ as the
man she wished to date. Therefore, she
walked to her calmly. âLora? I guess heâs the
Benlo you told me about. Please, donât take it
as if.. you know..â she whispered to her ear.
âthereâs absolutely nothing going on
between us. Heâs still yoursâ she
straightened up and looked at her with a
smile.
âWhat was that?â Benlo asked.
âNothing, women stuffâ Sarah replied
holding her sisterâs hand.
Lora looked at her. âI was actually worried
about you and him, thatâs why we cameâ
âThank youâ Sarah smiled.
âNow, how are we gonna get out of here?â
Lora asked looking at Benlo.
âI think we should be asking why those men
were pursuing us and who they areâ
âAre you guys talking about leaving?â Jasper
interfered. âDo you think the blue river
brought both of you here to meet each
other and go back to poverty? What about
the golds?!â
âI think we need answers for these
questions; the gun men, the blue river, the
gold and othersâ Sarah said.
âAnd who can provide the answers?â Benlo
asked.
âI think my grandfather canâ Lora
suggested. Just then, they heard the sound
of helicopter coming from afar.
âI guess they are back againâ Benlo said
looking up and looked down again. âWe
should remain strong, no matter what. Letâs
run!â
They began to run again without knowing
where they were running to.
:
On the other hand, Ena stopped running.
She sat down on a rock to see the injury on
her leg created by a flying bullet. She tore
her trouser from there to enable breeze
enter into the wound. She took off her shirt
leaving only an inner were like singlet which
covered up her bra. As she used the shirt to
clear the wound, she sighted the helicopter
going from afar then ran after it believing
that she might meet Sarah or see the blue
river there.
:
There were many men who came down
from the helicopter running into the
innermost forest with guns.
Ena finally reached the blue river but didnât
go close to it knowing that cameras were
there. Therefore, she took another road
which would make it easier to meet up with
Sarah and others.
:
After running for a long time, Jasper
stopped likewise others.
âListen, if we continue running, we wonât
know anything about those men. Itâs better
we let them catch us, from there, we know
who they are and why there are chasing usâ
âYou wonât be alive to know who they areâ a
female voice came behind a bush. All
directed their eyes there to see Ena.
âEna?â Sarah smiled.
Seeing her, Benlo recalled seeing the blue
river at Rain Brian. âItâs youâ
âYes, itâs meâ Ena walked forward. âYou
actually put me into this after trying to safe
your life coz my boss wouldnât have thought
twice before putting a bullet on your head if
he had known that you know about the
river. After they saw you guys through the
camera, i was sentenced to death by him
but luckily, i escapedâ
âSo your boss is the one who wants us
killedâ Jasper interfered.
âYes, and he will never stop until he sees all
of us deadâ
They became quiet for a while.
âSo, Ken wants us deadâ Lora broke the
silence.
âHow do you know his real name?â Ena
became surprise.
âHim and my late father have a history
togetherâ she replied thus getting them
confuse and inquisitiveâŠ
