*SHADES OF ROMANCE* EPISODE 34 On getting to Tony’s house, i begged the young officer with me to wait behind in the car. He reluctantly agreed, giving me the privacy i needed to confront Tony. I slowly made my way into the compound without anybody stopping me. I murmured some quick prayers before knocking on the front door. Tony soon came out and stared at me with surprise. “what are you doing here?” he asked suspiciously. “i came in peace bro, please i need to speak with you” i begged. “you are not welcomed in my house, just go away. Go with your evil spirit” he fired angrily. “please you got to hear me out. Things has escalated from our little fight to another thing. I don’t just understand what’s going on. I’m now accused of kidnapping Chief Manuel. Please i need you to listen to me” i begged desperately, lowering pride before him, but he kicked on it. “i’m sorry but i don’t care. You deserve everything happening to you. I will even testify to anyone who cares that you have the ability to kidnap the chief. Get away from my house” he barked and slammed the door on my face. I couldn’t believe i brought myself so low before him only to be insulted like a beggar. I shook my head, sighed and headed back to my car. Without another word, i drove straight to the state police headquarters to confront my fate. There wasn’t any doubt i was merely on my own, without any friend nor family to back me up. All i had left was my guts and i prayed for it to lead me through my current crises. My situation really was a very critical one. But one thing i promised myself was getting to the bottom of the whole affair. I swore to unravel the mystery working against me. I swore to get the man causing all the troubles i was passing through. A part of me felt it was Tony while a greater felt it wasn’t him. I spent almost two hours with D.S.P Maku who took his time questioning me. I ended up telling him my story, from the very begining to the end. I hid nothing as i told him the story of my relationship with Jenifer and the aftermath of it all. He listened with great care, paying attention to every little detail. “you have quite a story Mr Emeka and it’s just as if i have known you for a very long time. Seriously you are a sharp guy” he said with a smile, and surprisingly we became friends instantly. Yea my story kind of opened his mind towards me. It was as if a bond was created as i narrated the story of my life to him. Not only did he let me go, but equally offered to buy me a drink which i politely rejected. “the only problem i’m facing right now is that many of your brothers are pointing their fingers at you, but i really have nothing to hold you on. I do pray your hands are clean just like my instinct is telling me” he said as we shook hands when i was set to leave. I headed home as fast as i could, to reassure, hug and kiss Jenifer. She wasn’t herself when i left hours earlier and the best i could do was to go home and be with her. Just like i expected, i got home to see her eyes very swollen probably due to long hours of crying, but the joy of seeing me return, brightened her face, lightening up her spirit. “I told you i got things under control. The D.S.P and i are now friends” i breathed as i lifted her up. “yea but it isn’t yet over my love” she replied and kissed me happily. ______ We later had a quiet evening in one of the restuarants in town, where we discussed our challenges, love and upcoming marriage. We were very hopeful that things would get better, but the fear in our hearts still remained, because things were far from getting better. The person trying to ruin us was still free out there and probably making more plans. _____ Days slowly dragged by without any news of the missing Chief. It all looked like one giant conspiracy and I never for a moment let my guard down, but then it never stopped whatever that was destined to happen from happening. Jenifer was abducted from my house a week later. How did it happen?? Hmmm, i guess it’s a story for another day. (Sleep is calling.Goodnight to you all.God has made you see the end of September.So,you must see the end of 2014. See you on October 1st) TIME:7am
