Richard looked at Tony for some seconds & later said, “I think
about her everyday, I mean Belina. She is constantly in my
head. The problem is that I never felt that way with Tonia. I loved
her but it does not compare at all to what I now feel for Belina”.
“well then,u better look for a way to drive this problem away
cos if u let this damsel slip off ur fingers, I would agree that u are truly crazy”, Tony
said with a smile.
Richard sighed & relaxed fully on d chair. Tony looked at him
with concern, he hadn’t seen his friend this way b4.
“What if he was not hallucinating & Tonia is not actually dead?

We all stared at Prisca’s father
who was seated with his mouth
agape, gawping at my Ex-dad. I
looked at him and he gradually
grew from a friend and a friend’s
father to a monster. Everyone’s
eyes were on him and finally
after more than 15 mins of
silence and tension, i heard
Prisca’s mum talk.
“What is going on here Francis?”
she asked her husband.
“I d… dont know”, he said frozen
to the spot then turned to my ex-
dad, “what is her name?” he
asked.
I did not give him a chance to
reply when i said, “Linda, her
name was Linda Terresa then”.
He gasped and looked like he
would faint soon and i got my
answer. I stood up slowly
because my legs could not just
carry me but i ensured that i was
on my feet because the seat
could no longer contain me; my
tears were coming in torrents.
“So you are my f… father” i said
shaking terribly. The entire room
was in chaos and virtually
everyone was standing except Mr
Jegas.
“You did not answer my question
Francis…
I said, do you have anything to
do with all these?” she asked
charging forward towards her
husband. He opened his mouth
to say, ‘i am sorry’ but did not
get to complete the statement
because she got to him and
started pummeling him and my
former dad’s efforts to seperate
them was almost fruitless.
I stood like a stick as i looked on
as events unfolded before me.
Everything was blurry because of
my drenched eyes and i was
shaking like a leaf on water. I felt
prisca’s presence behind me and
noticed that she hadn’t spoken
at all throughout the drama but i
couldn’t care less. Prisca’s mum
was shouting because she was
deeply hurt and her dear
husband did not have the
audacity to tell her to calm down.
“Aaahhh Francis, after all i have
been through with you, you did
this to me…Oh God… So you can
keep this kind of secret of maybe
25 years from me. So because i
gave birth to four boys, you
outside to look for a girl thinking
i would not have one right? You
are heartless.
How many more are out there
ehn? How many?” She continued
ranting and Prisca for the first
time moved from her position
and wen to hold her mother
tenderly and that was when i
noticed that she was in tears.
They cried together and i later
found my voice.
“So you are my dad. You have
been criticizing my dad saying he
hired people to kidnap his own
daughter not knowing that you
are far worse. You are a
murderer, you never wanted me
and you made my mum suffer.
Thank God my dad picked her up
if not, i don’t know what would
have become of us. I would
never forgive you. Never” i said
and gathered the strenght i
could and walked into Prisca’s
room but not before i saw the
tears in Prisca’s father’s eyes.
i entered Prisca’s bedroom and
knelt by the bed with my head on
the bed crying profusely. I was
shaking all over and felt it within
me that i would fall sick soon. I wanted to leave the house
but my legs refused to give
my legs the priviledge of
rest so i forcefully pushed
one leg up, i fell down and
hit my head on something
very sharply. The next thing that i encountered was darkness and time was forgotten as i entered into a state of unconsciousness.

Richard turned and tossed on the bed but could not
sleep, Tony also could not sleep because he had been dialing Prisca’s phone &she hadn’t picked.
Richard left the bed and
moved to the sitting room to join Tony. He had also become worried because
he knew that they always chat at night endlessly & for Belina not to pick her call also means that something was wrong somewhere.
He sat down beside Tony & d atmosphere was very silent and his hand frantically pressed his phone. Richard offered words to calm him down but d words did not calm
he himself much less Tony’s phone started ringing & he picked immediately.
“Oh baby, thank God. I have almost died her”,he was saying already on his feet
hearing a sigh of relief
“Please Tony, we need ur help, get Richard. Belina is terribly hurt & we are taking her to d hospital now”. Prisca said
“what?,we are coming, pls be careful honey”, he said & hung up
“What is going
on?” Richard asked even
b4 Tony hung up. His
worry had now reached its peak
“It is Belina, she… i don’t
know what is wrong. She has been taken to d hospital”, he said grabbing his coat & shoes.
“Jesus…” Richard said &
ran into d room to pick
his car keys even though
Tony’s car was available.
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.
