The voice of blood; Episode 9

The voice of blood

Episode 9

Ademi grunts heavily that one can feel the vibration of his voice. He was sounding like a lazy man who is lifting up a heavy weight. I thought his voice was a little bit thin until this night, it was a bass version but it was his bedroom voice still. Probably this part was used occasionally.

'Caro, i need money. I haven't paid my house rent. In fact, i don't have a dime in my account and i don't have foodstuff too. This is because of the greediness of my boss. He refused to pay my salary for about two months now claiming he doesn't have money and he sends me everyday to write a cheque for different ladies. I am very ripe for promotion but he's  refused to grant me, even when there is a conspicuous empty position above, he'd rather grant someone not as qualified as I am, and he'll not consider me for salary raise after all my complaints. Worst of all, he uses me the most and still say I'm lazy. So Caro, tell me, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? but then...' by the time he was done talking, he had just stopped his swinging position like a disconnected fan. "Profuse" was the name of the sweat dripping from his face. It was like the AC was not installed properly-as if they put the outside part inside vice versa. Maybe it just started  blowing hot air instead.

Ademi pushed him away. Went back into the bathroom to get her towel and came in wearing a long face. She was just pacing like a man whose wife were in labour. She was humming and hissing. "But what? You this boy you've destroyed my life completely. My Dad will find out and he will not only end our relationship, he also vowed to jail you. If he jails you, he would also be jailing me. Yours will be a physical jail but mine will be an emotional jail-a worst jail. You exposed me to sex and will be leaving me for jail. Not only that, you put a stigma on me and even if i find someone else to love or even if I get horny, i will be imprisoned by the commitment we made. We will be in different countries and you will be restricted by the walls of a cell. Why did you do this to me Ademi? My Dad will find out soon and all these will happen in a twinkling of an eye and i said it that day oo. I kept saying it that i hope we are doing the right thing. I shouldn't have listened to you." she couldn't stop talking and soon, she moved towards him and was hitting him slightly on his leg while she kept complaining.

Caro left the room, locked the door on him and went straight to the sitting room to weep.

Ademi was wondering what was happening. It was like a dream to him. Even small but mighty Mr man has collapsed. He didn't understand anything she was saying. 'She didn't even allow me to finish what i was saying before she began her whatever. Let me sleep, when her head is cool tomorrow, we will trash it out' he dozed off soon after.

Carolina slept during one of the sessions of her weep-think-soliloquizing.

The darkness came and went. Carolina had opened the door for Ademi as early as the cock's crowing time. To Ademi's greatest surprise, she never said a word to him about the last night's drama. She just told him to get his stuff and got him out. At their departure, she told him never to call her again and never to look for her by any means. Then, she walked straight inside and went back to dream land.

It was her father that got her back from her journey. He was coming to say 'good morning' and 'have a nice day' ritual as he was traveling for three days to prepare how he will come pick them the fourth day.

Caro opened the door with determination to tell her father about her decision. 'Dad good morning sir. Thank God you came in. Dad, don't bother about Ademi again. I will go and start a new life over there. I know I will find a better person. Thanks so much for rescuing him. The incidence made me understand how much you love me to risk your life for what i wanted. I was selfish and i guess it was love that blindfolded me. But then, dream took away the life in my love story. I dreamt a terrible dream tonight and i won't bother you about it but the dream wasn't saying good about myself and Ademi. The old man even told me to leave the relationship in other to save his life. And i love him so much that i don't want him to die. Dad please, let's just get out of this country as quick as possible before his love overshadows me again. Leave everything about Ademi. No more investigations and no more help. Dad please "

He couldn't believe his ears but he loved his daughter and would listen to whatever she said. "I don't need to know much details dear. I trust you and i will do just that. Thank God your mom did not know anything about this or else it will not be as simple as this" Mr Anderson got closer to her and and hugged her.

She helped him with his bag into the car and waved good bye to him.

About thirty to fourty missed calls has always been Caro's experience for about two days now. She refused to pick calls and anytime she did, it was either a curse or a perfect Silence from her end. She even avoided him and will avoid any movement towards his area. He had sent series of messages but she'd been  ignoring it.

Four days came and it was time for the family of Mr Anderson to relocate. Ademi heard about it and was surprised about all he was hearing. He had come to see the driver a day before and they had discussed-he had gotten close to the driver those times Caro came with him and he was good to him.

He came on the Dday. He wanted to man up and discuss with her by force by fire and also talk to her parents but when he got there, he only met the gateman who told him that they had left for the airport.

To worsen it, Caro had broken the sim and changed her WhatsApp. So there was no means to communicate. He couldn't cry. He stood outside their gate and was thinking.

Caro and her parents were already on board. They boarded a first class airplane and of course their phones were already on airplane mode. Caro plugged in an earphone and was listening to music. Not long after, she started operating the phone until she got to message and mistakingly clicked on one of Ademi's message.

She scan through and immediately, you could see the shock on her face that her heart melted just now. She couldn't believe what she saw in the message.

What really is the message?

Watch out for the next episode!!!
