Perspiration escaped on my face as the same pictures came into my head, in my dream. I gasped out repeatedly as my head slipped from right then left. My eyes opened up widely. I sat upright as the breathing came out heavily.Gosh! It's morning.I tugged into my hair, wiped the balls of sweat on my forehead then I moved down to the bathroom silently as my roommates were still on bed. We were six in the room with three bunk bed attached to each angle of the room. The ceiling fan made the noise silently, and the morning cock crows loudly.I came out after I was done with my business, then got dressed for my morning exercise. Ayah made a few sound up there."Ai!" She called out reluctantly. "Where are you going early morning?""I am going for my usual work out," I reached for my phone on the bed. "I hope I didn't wake you up." I whispered.She smiled a little. "No, I woke up by the cock crows, but do you know their gym center? You are -" she yawned. "You are not so familiar with this plac
The beat of music enveloped the hall that was already decorated and lightened with disco light. It is called a 'welcome party'. According to the rules of the party, each and everyone had to have an opposite partner even if it was just for the night, postulated by our dear Ayah and saleem.Mr. Tobe walked in with Miss Anna in there black dresses. Her teeth made her dress colorful as she opened it widely to everyone."Wow! You look so good together." I gave her a tight hug."Thank you Ai. It is just for the night." She rolled her eyes playfully to me."Don't tell me that. You are still single master," I whispered to his ear. "This is an opportunity. She is so beautiful.""Hmm hmm!" Mr. Tobe cleared an unreal throat. "Go find a partner.""Well, I have none." I giggled.Miss Anna laughed out, then they both left me standing at the entrance."Then you won't be at the party." He squeaked."Ayah has no where to –"I felt a captivating touch on my waist. His body kissed mine, and his cheek tou
Brad! What more does he want to hear? I am not interested. Like really! First it was Kelvin, now he is my problem."Come on girl. Go to him." Ayah persuaded."Dora, can you please do me one more favour?" She nodded her head. "Tell him whatever you think it is best 'cause I won't be showing up. If 'she is asleep' that comes to your mind, say it. Or 'she don't wanna come' it is fine by me, 'she doesn't want to see you' whichever way. I am not just coming.""Okay then.""Thank you as you do so," I plugged my earpiece, then laid back on bed. "Goodnight."****(No! Whimpering! Darkness! Fire! Tears!)Noo! Not again! I pressed my back against the wall, folded up a leg, then I dug my finger into my hair. This is beyond me mum, dad! I can't handle this all alone.What is the secret behind this nightmare?***The shadow was moving closer. It was following me all over again. This couldn't be Brad. That was not Brad. So who?***Mr Tobe hollered at me as I thought I had succeeded in sneaking in.
I squinted my eyes patiently as he unveiled himself slowly, then just slowly, his face was all shown to me as the cars headlights reflected on his face."You!?""Yes, me. Did you think I will let you off so easily?"It was Kelvin all along. He still had a wicked motives against me? For what exactly? What have I done to him so much to deserve all these from him. But, he won't ever find his way to deal with me.He tightened his gripped onto my neck. I groaned and tried my best to push his hand off me. The more I tried, the more it got tightened. My tongue rolled around my throat, finding its way to settled in my throat as my mouth was widely opened."Arrgh!" My face welled up with liquid now as it must had turned red. My both tiny hands struggling to remove his one huge hand.No, I mustn't got defeated just like this. My eyes that had almost came out weak and hopeless had ju
"Do you know what your weaknesses are?" He traced his hand down to my cleavage. "Your body, and friends."I ogled at him as he said that."Friends?""Yeah, friends," he stood up from the chair. "Let that be and let's focus on why you are here."I sniffed. "My question actually. Why am I here and how long have I been here? What have you done to me Kelvin?" I screamed in anger."Shush!" He placed the finger next to his thumb on his lips. "Calm down my love. I will answer all your questions," he bent towards me. "You are here for me. For my secret love for you," he whispered to my hearings. "That was why you have been here for three days.""What! Are you crazy or something? How can you lock me here for three good days. For what reason?""Hmm! You have this anger issue. I didn't intend to do that, but the sleeping drug worked for the three days you have been h
"What is it son?" Mum asked worriedly as I dropped down my phone.I ran my fingers into my thick and not too thick hair. "Ayah had became a suspect.""Who is – that?""Our head girl in school." I said, gazed down on the table."What does she has to do with the case?" Mum spread her arm widely."The detectives said her roommates back there needs to be interviewed. So I don't know how the interview goes on, but from what I think might be going on. It is only Ayah and I that knows her whereabouts in the camp." I puzzled, still not sure of what was going on."So, from what you said. They are searching for the one who could leaked out her whereabouts to the kidnapper?""I guess so mum. The person would surely be aware of the unknown person scheme.""Hmm! Everyone is a suspect son. The cops might just want to take her in for questioning. This is not abo
"Ayah please. Why are you doing this to us? It is been ten days Ai had gone missing and we still haven't found a clue or an evidence about this issue. We really need you girl." Akila pleaded.Everyone pleaded but Ayah was not willing to help."You all know how much I love Ai, but I can't help right now. You should understand guys. I really wish to help guys."We all stood at the compound trying to confuse her, but she won't heed."Ayah!! Where are you? Come on in." A middle aged voice sounded from inside."My mum is calling me now. She mustn't see you guys here or get an idea that this meeting is still about the case that led me to the station for the very first time in my life." She dropped her palm on Akila in attempt to led her out."Ayah, this is about a life of a precious person in our life. We don't know what Kelvin has been doing for her over there. She needs help,
The detective drove down the silent road from Ai's home. Her parents' were so devastated and they had no one that could stand by them, just this aunt of hers called by the name 'Loveth' visited. Not even a single person calmed each other. It was beyond what I expected.I wrapped my arm around my head in the passenger sit at the front. I took a glimpse of the detective as he gazed at me for a moment, then he looked back to the front."Aside from a classmates in school, or let me say close pals with Ai in school. Do you guys share any special relationship?" He asked as he horned to the car in front of us, which he later overtook."I wish that was it. I wish we are more than friends but it wasn't her wish." I smiled sadly."Hmm! That lady must be a difficult one to turn down handsome like you."I chuckled slightly. "I am the lucky one to have a beauty speck like her.""Indeed she is. Hmm!" He glared back at me, then I knew for a fact that he wanted s
