Aminu.

I walked into the lounge to see Louis drinking his whiskey as usual and having some discussion with Lanre. I had never seen him alone with Lanre before and I wondered what was up with that.

"Hey guys." I said in monotone. I didn't have it in me to be cheerful with anyone right now.

"Hey big dawg, how are you feeling today?" Lanre asked while I sat down facing Louis.

"Not very good." I groaned. My head was banging from all the overthinking I'd been doing.

I noticed that Louis was silent. This just confirmed that something was up with him.

"Louis, I'll just go ahead now. I need to fix some tech for my clients but I'll come back as soon as I can." Lanre said. He said his goodbyes and left Louis and I alone.

I threw my head back and closed my eyes.

    Zara.Fear crept into my bones as I saw Patrick hod a gun pointing at Aminu. My lips quivered and trembled in fear. Aminu immediately pushed me behind him as I stared on in horror.The police started closing in on him. All I could think in this moment was, What is going on?The same Patrick that was kidnapped and kept with me in the confines of that little room. The same one who told me his life story and didn't mind getting poisoned for me. This same one that took a pummeling trying to help me escape was doing this? And where did he even get the gun for God's sake?"If you come any closer I'll shoot him, stay back." Patrick said with his eyes moving around frantically. The kidnapper goons were still pointing their guns at us but it looked like they revered Patrick. What the hell was going on.Aminu gave the police a sign to stand down which they adhered to."Patrick what the hell is the meaning of this?" Aminu chastised. He sounded upset ev

    Aminu.The worst feeling in the world was watching the love of your entire existence bleed out in your own hands. That was exactly what I was feeling now. Tears fell from my eyes as I tried to minimize the bleeding while we waited for the ambulance.I had considered us taking her to the hospital ourselves but we were quite far from there and without first aid, I didn't even want to imagine what would happen.Zara had already passed out despite our attempts to make her stay awake. I couldn't imagine the pain she was going through. My heart bled at the horror that had just took place.Patrick shot at me but Zara took the bullet. I was more than willing to die for her but everything happened so fast that the next thing I saw, Zara was bleeding out in my arms and Patrick was shot by the police in his leg and dragged away. It all looked like a chapter from a horror story.Louis came back to us after making sure the ambulance was coming. "They're almost

    Aminu.I immediately got up from the pew, looking at the crucifix one last time with a plea in my eyes. Lord help us, I thought and walked towards Louis."Any news?" I said exasperatedly. I couldn't ignore the fact that my body was tired and exhausted. All my life I had never been in a situation where I had to stay awake all night. But I didn't care. I couldn't sleep until I knew the status of Zara's condition."Yeah well, they're out of surgery but the doctor wants to see us in his office" Louis said looking upon me with tired eyes."Okay let's go then" I said starting to move but the fact that Louis wasn't moving made me turn around."What is it Lou?" I said frowning. I felt scared that he was hiding something."I'm just scared of what the doctor has to say." He said, tears forming in his eyes."Lou, let's just ago see him. I know she's alive, that's sure. Zara won't just die on us like that so let's go." I said and he relucta

    AminuI woke up feeling very drowsy, trying to remember why I was waking up in he first place. I looked around to see that I was still in the hospital. Louis was seated in front of my bed."You're creepy you know that right?" I said to the hatted creep. I tried to sit up, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own with a throbbing pain in my neck area which I abruptly held when the pain shot at me."Are you feeling better now?" Louis asked. I noticed he had a bruise on his cheek area where I punched him.I pulled my body up "last I remember I was going to the police station""Furious and ready to murder" Louis cut me off. I paused and continued."Yes Louis. But somehow I ended up here. How did that happen?" I asked a rhetoric question. I already knew that Louis and his little girlfriend were behind this."Tanna called the nurses and the sedated you." Louis confessed.I made a dry chuckle "I don't even know if I'm mad at you L

    Aminu."You still haven't answered the question Patrick, why are you doing all this?" I asked. My voice still hadn't changed because I was quite bitter.Patrick sighed and stayed silent for a while before speaking "I was spiteful okay? I felt cheated. I know that you're older but this was a feeling I've had for years. You know, looking at my mother suffering in the hands of those men she used to sleep with just to give me a somewhat good life which was not good even after everything. But y'all were living in luxury. Dad even told her to abort me. He cared about you more than he did me. My mother died because of your family. I was determined to bring you the same misery I felt. About Zara's kidnap.. It was fake, I just did that to get her to fall for me. Stockholm syndrome""You should have known that wasnt going to work and it sounds like your beef is with dad and not me." I said. All he said pointed to our father's irresp

    Aminu.The piece of paper I held in my hand could change everything as I knew it. I didn't have he courage to even open it because contrary to what everyone thought, I had grown to adore that little kid even though I didn't like his mother for anything in the entire world. I still loved Nasir.I looked at Zara "the results are in. I wish you were here so I could be brave enough to read it" I said with a small smile. Even though she wasn't speaking or moving, I could still connect to her.I looked back up, summoning strength and courage from different angles.I inhaled deeply and exhaled before allowing my eyes to go the actual results of the test. I had told them to also test if I was related to him. His would prove if Zara was saying the correct thing or not.I went through the result. A lot of medical Mumbo-Jumbo were in the beginning. It was at the end that the real results were.

    Aminu.A week had gone by since Zara's surgery. She was apparently still resting as I liked to call it. Saying she was comatose sounded off and tasted bitter on my tongue so I changed it. The new way of saying it gave me more peace of mind than I realized.After the whole Jasmine incident and taking Nadir and his nanny to my house, I never left the hospital again. Louis came in everyday and stayed with us for hours but he never slept here which was understood.Each time I remembered Jasmine's long letter of atrocities, I cringed hard at both the thought and myself. Myself because as much as I like to overlook it, I was a fool. I trusted Patrick at a point and I also trusted Jasmine even when I was sure that I couldn't have impregnated her.For two years Louis had been bugging me to get a DNA test but I brushed it off as him being his usual distrustful self, and after the whole Tumini debacle, I just completely threw it out the window due to hu

    Aminu.I entered Zara's room and saw Louis sitting by her bed side. I stood at the doorway and just watched hem both. My family right there. It was always said that family isn't just those that you share blood with and with the presence of these two in my life, I believed that to be true.I walked over to them "Hey bro. Here again?" I told Louis."Of course. I'll be here everyday until she wakes up. I would have stayed here with you guys but I don't exactly have a sister to run my company for me. Plus Zara would murder me if anything happened to her precious Kaph. She loves that place too much." Louis narrated while I sat in the chair behind him.He was always a hatted fool, making jokes all the time, but now he was more mature and serious which was certainly not the Louis I knew. I however, understood the situation. The dearest person to him in the world was unconscious and no one was sure what would happen to her in the long run. The situation took its

    Aminu. Previously... "Ma'am this is from Mr Garba" he said and gave me a card. "What's that?" Tanna asked. I opened it and smiled "aww it's a note" "Aww. Read it out" she said. So curious for gossip. I giggled. "To my Angel Wife, I remember the day we met. It was then that I knew that I wouldn't let you slip through my fingers. At first sight I knew that you were the one for me. I didn't care about anything else other than being with you from that moment. I just knew I wanted to see you happy. The love I feel for you is strong and eternal. My Queen, you are the light in my life, the air in my lungs. You give me purpose in every way and I am so happy you agreed to be with me forever. Your aura has consumed me and I want to bask in the light that you give for the rest of eternity. Today, we seal the deal and I just wanted to s

    Zara Previously... "Sorry ma'am I didn't wasn't to keep you waiting so I had to let you in before they were done." Atafo apologised. "There's no need to apologise. I don't mind" I shrugged. Tanna who had been silent all along tapped me pointing at an armless gown she seemed to like. "That's a really cool design." Tanna said. "Feel free to move around and choose. I'll be waiting for what you decide. You can also have this notepad to write down your thoughts." He said and gave us a notepad. We began our search. The gowns on display were all breathtakingly gorgeous. I was so shook at what Atafo could actually do with those hands of his. I Was already imagining what my wedding dress would look like. "So do you have anything in mind?" Tanna asked me. "Yeah I have an idea of what I want. I want an armless dr

I warned and he sat up, putting his hand on his chest. "Promise ma'am" he said. "Good. So what are we eating, I'm hungry." I said and took the menu. The dinner date was really fun. We had laughs and talked about everything. Also gossiped about a few of our friends. We basically dissected everything while violating table manners. But we didn't care. Once we were done with our three course meal of exquisite delicacies, as of on cue, music started to play. One of my favorite songs at the moment. Odo by Johnny Drille. "Can I have this dance ma cherie" Aminu held his hand out smiling while I laughed at something he had said earlier.

    Zara. Previously... When the police man had chained him to the table and left, Patrick started laughing. "What's funny" I said frowning. "You know, I never ever thought that I would ever see you again in my life" Patrick said, still chuckling. "Well, one last time wouldn't hurt. I used to consider you my friend." I said and folded my arms. "I used to be in love with you you know. Or should I say, infatuated." Patrick said and chuckled. It seemed as though he was finding himself amusing. "I know that" I said. I surprising was not feeling any emotions right now towards him. Everything was well and okay. He didn't disgust me the way Jasmine seemed to. "Yeah and you know I didn't intend to shoot you. I'm really sorry." He said. "I just hope you don't hate me" "I don't Patrick. Have y

    Zara Previously... The judge was rested back in his chair, but his face held shock and fear. Probably fear for knowing someone like Jasmine. Aminu who was sat beside me had become furious again and I stroked his arm to calm him which he was responding to well. The silence in the room was deafening for a few seconds before the judge finally spoke again. "Wow, officers, I don't know what you people are waiting for. Cuff her immediately." He said with venom in his voice. The policemen who were stationed in the courtroom went forward and cuf

    Zara Previously... Your honor, my client is not guilty of the allegations on him. First of all, this child is legally his son which means he had all the right to have the boy in his custody however, the way it is being narrated is not how it happened. My client went to the Plaintiff's apartment which in his magnanimity he had given her, only to realize that she had run away from the house along with all her belongings leaving just the boy, the nanny and a letter confessing all her crimes against Mr Garba here. My client having a good heart, took the boy into his home even after finding out that the boy is not his. So your honor, this whole case is a lie and shouldn't even have been a case in the first place." My lawyer said and sat down. "Objection my Lord! There is no evidence to back his claim" Jasmine's attorney said.

    Aminu. Previously... Almost a week had passed and it was finally the day that we would stand trial with the arbitrator. Aminu had pushed for it because he didn't want the stupid case to taint his brand which was the wise thing to do. The arbitrator would essentially keep everything on a low and not attract press to it. Or so I thought. I hadn't spoken to Aminu even after Tanna's intervention. Now I was ready and I was going to surprise him at the arbitrator's office. There was no way I would leave him to do this alone. I didn't tell Louis because his big mouth would tell Aminu in a heart beat. On getting to the venue for the trial, contrary to my belief, there was a swarm of press people with microphones and cameras at the doors to the building. What the hell? Who told them where it would be. I decided to hide and slip in undetected. I met a secur

    Zara. Previously... "Yeah I get it. It's very nice of her though" I said and sighed, rubbing my eyes. "I really miss Zara. And Nas has been crying, he wants to see her. I'm always scared of going home to him because he'll start hounding me with questions and crying again." I said rubbing my face in frustration thinking about how sad Nasir was that Zara wasn't there. "Did he do that when he was brought to your house in the first place. Like did he cry about Jasmine?" Louis with his nosiness asked. "Not at all. It was like he didn't know the difference. Nasir for her was always a tool to use to get what she wanted so I believe they didn't have much of a relationship with each other." I said and sipped my usual glass of whiskey. "Don't worry, she'll come around" he said and his eye twitched. That was something I learnt over the years to look out for if Louis

    Aminu. Previously... "Both you and Jasmine will rot in prison, I will make sure of that" I said, gritting my teeth. Anger rose in me and I had to fight of the urge to get my hands around his throat and kill him there and then. But then I had to allow the law take its course and Zara.. she wouldn't be happy with my line of action. "I've accepted my fate brother. I wish I did things better. I probably would get a life sentence or worse, be executed which I'll prefer because a life sentence is a fate worse than death. I have never asked you for anything before but I will do it now because this is a mutual need. Make sure Jasmine goes to jail or dies. That is my only wish." He said this time looking me in the eye. "That's easy. And for what it's worse. If you hadn't betrayed me and had told me about the fact that we were brothers from the onset, I would have accepted you with all the joy in the w
