#LILY
The Rain fell heavily as Silas was lowered in his grave… I watched blankly as the hole was covered up eventually….. Tayo and I were the only ones at his funeral…. Nobody was there, not even the neighbors…. It was later I found out Silas had no family.. As I stood over Silas’s grave, I could still imagine the painful look on his face and the knife on his chest… After I told my Tayo about what I saw, he called the police and the idiots came and did their usual stuff, After the investigation.. The police concluded that it was an arm robbery… Some of Silas’s properties were stolen among them which was his medal. The Police as usual made their fake promises that they would find the criminals but after some days.. Everything became quiet.. Silas’s corpse was given back to us, when no one came to identify him, Tayo made preparations for his burial and after everything was ready the poor soul was buried.
Silas’s death pained me so much like my mother’s death… Silas was like the closest thing to a family I’ve ever had, before him it was Halima.
I should have been crying and praying for deliverance over Silas’s soul but instead I was angry and pissed… Why is that just when I have someone important in my life, something happens to them? Why? Why? WHY??… Why can’t I stay long with someone that I cherish?.. First it was my mom, then Halima, now it’s Silas and the worst part, he was taken away from me… God didn’t take his life.. Someone did, just like my mom’s life was taken and whats even annoying those people responsible for this are out there living their lives… Those miserable bastards… And the police who are supposed to be bringing this people to justice aren’t doing anything and later, some idiot will be teaching us in class that it’s not good to take law into your own hands… I’m getting tired of all this…honestly.
This world is filled with shit and in order to clean it up, Some has to rise up and clean this mess up.. Someone who has no fear of the law and someone who will do whatever it takes to get the job done.
After Silas’s funeral, Things weren’t so well for me.. I felt no joy or happiness, no excitement, no thrill just sadness… Even in school, I would sit down alone in class alone without talking to anyone not even Teddy.
Teddy tried to find out what was wrong with me but when he saw I wasn’t in the mood to talk, He tried to cajole me into talking by making funny remarks but he later regretted doing that.
One morning, I was in class staring blankly at the window when Teddy came and tingled my sides.. I snapped and barked at him.
.
Lily β‘ YOU FOOL! WHAT’S THE MEANING OF THIS?
.
Teddy was shocked by my outburst and he felt embarrassed, he tried to apologize but I was too angry to listen to him.
.
Teddy β‘ Gosh lily.. I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to…
.
Lily β‘ SHUT UP FOOL… JUST LEAVE ME ALONE OKAY…
.
Teddy felt sad and went back to his seat, some of the class members laughed at him and I hated myself for what I did to him.. The poor guy didn’t mean any harm, he was just being friendly that’s all.
Later that day after school, I went home alone… Teddy had walked away on his own without even waiting for me… I couldn’t blame, I had no right to talk to him that way.. I decided that I would apologize to him tomorrow when we meet.
Minutes later, I got home and went straight into my room, as I got there, I fell on my bed staring into the ceiling… I began to think about Silas once again, The painful expression on his face kept flashing in my mind… In that moment, I began to cry profusely… I cried so hard letting out all my emotions, I haven’t cried like this since my mom died.. While I was crying I just wished I could die as well, to end all this emotional pain and loneliness, if only committing suicide wasn’t a taboo and a sin, I would have done that.
Right in that moment, I felt immense hatred for those responsible for my mom and Silas’s death… I swore and made a vow to myself that if I ever by chance met this cruel and wicked bastards, I would take revenge.. I don’t care about being the better person.. Blood for blood and I don’t care if I bear their sins on my head.. I’ll make sure they get what they deserve. Never in my life, have I felt this much hatred… It was so much that I couldn’t bear it anymore… In fact my hatred started to take form in my subconscious, call me crazy if you want to.. But it was real and I began hearing voices in my head as if it was speaking to me.
.
Hate β‘ Lily… Why shed your tears endlessly when the answer to your problems is right in front of you?
.
Lily β‘ Who are you??
.
Hate β‘ I’m everything you hate, or rather your boiling hatred… I am part of you..
.
Lily β‘ Hate is an emotional construction not a living being… You’re not real.
.
Hate β‘ I am real… I live in your subconscious, I am only visible to you in times like this.. You hate those that took everything from you, you too should also take everything from them.
.
Lily β‘ How?
.
Hate β‘ Simple.. Take matters into your own hands… KILL THEM… KILL THEM ALL.
.
Suddenly, my conversation was interrupted by Asimi who came into the room. She stood staring at me like her sworn enemy.
.
Asimi β‘ Witch! Who are you talking to?
.
Lily β‘ Nobody..
.
Asimi β‘ What’s with the tears? Still crying over your old lover?..
.
Lily β‘ What do you want?
.
Asimi β‘ Are you talking to me like that? Are you mad?
.
Lily β‘ No.. As you can see I’m fine.
.
Asimi β‘ So you’re grown horns abi? Just because you’re well shaped and you have nice bre*sts and rounding buttocks, so you think you’re up to my level abi? Better watch your ashawo mouth else I’ll burst it for you nonsense.
.
Lily β‘ Don’t ever call me an Ashawo ever again.. You have no right.. My mother didn’t born me to be one.
.
Asimi β‘ (laughs cynically) Heh, heh,… See this girl.. Why don’t you go tell your Ashawo mother that word?
.
Lily β‘ IF YOU CALL MY MOTHER THAT WORD AGAIN… I’M GOING TO KILL YOU… YOU HEAR ME? BARREN WH*RE.
.
Asimi was shocked by my remark… She wanted to say something but she couldn’t, not when she saw how raged I was, If she had said any thing again I would have killed her right there and then… After a brief moment of pause, Asimi went out of my room but not before she snapped her fingers at me..
Later that evening When Tayo came back, Asimi told him everything.. Shortly after that, He called me before him. Asimi was sitting next to him shedding crocodile tears. God, how I hate this woman.
.
Tayo β‘ Lily..
.
Lily β‘ Yes sir..
.
Tayo β‘ is it true you called my wife a barren slut?
.
Lily β‘……………
.
Tayo β‘ ANSWER ME!!
.
Lily β‘ Yes sir but she started it…
.
Tayo β‘ SHUT UP!… What right do you have to call her that? Is she your mate? Are you crazy? What has come over you?
.
Lily β‘ But sir.. She called my mother a wh*re… I couldn’t let it slide.
.
Tayo β‘ KEEP QUIET! So you think just because you’re now big you can talk to anybody anyhow? If she did call your late mother that, you should have waited until I return and report it to me.. I could have handled the situation better. I’m ashamed of you honestly.. I didn’t expect this from you.. Apologize to her at once.
.
I looked at Asimi.. The b*tch was smiling coyly amidst her tears… There was nothing I wanted more than to chore this SL*t to death… So after some few seconds, I apologized to her the best way I could.. After that, Tayo asked me to go back to my bedroom.
.
#OMNISCIENT_POV
After Lily goes back to her room, Tayo and Asimi then proceed to their bedroom, where they talk things out.
.
Tayo β‘ Asimi.. Why did you call this girl’s late mother a wh*re huh? Why? Why are you doing this?
.
Asimi β‘ That girl is lying… She’s nothing but a conniving Ashawo.
.
Tayo β‘ You see your life? Even now you’ve repeated that abusive word… This is the last time you’d do that to her again… Enough is enough..
.
Asimi β‘ So you’re now backing the girl abi? Tell me, is she stretching her legs open for you too?
.
Tayo β‘ JESUS CHRIST!!! Asimi! What did you just say? Are you mad ni? What kind of dirty mind do you have assuming something.. Such as this… God.. May the lord have mercy on your soul. I’m ashamed of you.
.
Asimi β‘ Ashamed of me? You should be ashamed of yourself for not performing your most important duty as a husband to get me pregnant.. If we had children.. None of this would have happened.. We wouldn’t have bought this bad luck child into our lives..
.
Tayo β‘ You’re very stupid for saying that… You’re a shame and a disgrace… Maybe the reason why God hasn’t given us children is because of your poor motherly skills.. You’ve failed to look after and raise Lily like a mother and you expect God to give us children… Only God knew what he saw in you… Good night.
.
After that, Tayo covers himself with the bedsheet and sleeps off.. Asimi pained by husband’s words, slowly sinks into the bed and curses lily in her mind.
.
#LILY
The next morning, I woke up with a slight headache… I had cried too much last night and to make things worst, I got scolded by Tayo last night.. I didn’t hate him for what he did.. He was just trying to put me on the right track to obey my elders but someone like Asimi doesn’t deserve my respect…
So after I stretched myself, I went to the toilet to have a bath… As I brushed my teeth, I looked into the mirror checking to see if it was clean whilst I was doing that, I saw a horrific figure in the mirror and it was behind me, I turned around but I saw nothing as I turned back to the mirror the creature was there, staring at me then suddenly it began to talk to me.
.
Hate β‘ Its alright… Don’t be afraid.. I’m your hatred.. Remember?
.
Lily β‘ What? Why am I seeing you? You’re just an emotional feeling, you can’t be seen.
.
Hate β‘ Well, you can now…
.
Lily β‘ Leave me alone… Get out of my head.
.
Hate β‘ I can’t, I’m part of you.. I’m a fragment of your imagination.
.
Lily β‘ Why are you here?
.
Hate β‘ Like I said.. I only appear when your hatred kicks in and right now.. Your hatred for Asimi is still burning.
.
Lily β‘ You’re bothering me.. Get out of my head.. I don’t want to see you.
.
Hate stood there still staring at me, I rinsed my mouth and took my bath, after that I went to my room and got dressed, After doing the usual morning stuff, I got ready for school, Tayo drove me there in his car, I usually walk on my own but Tayo insisted he wanted to talk to me about something.
.
Tayo β‘ Lily..
.
Lily β‘ Yes sir..
.
Tayo β‘ I know things have been rough lately… And I know your mother can be tough at times… She wasn’t always like this.. I don’t know what came over her… I just want to apologize on her behalf for insulting your mother.. I know what she did was totally wrong… But that doesn’t mean you should disrespect her… She’s your elder.. Do you understand?
.
Lily β‘ I understand sir.
.
Tayo β‘ Anytime she bothers you.. Just report to me.. Okay? I’ll handle the matter.
.
Lily β‘ Okay sir..
.
Tayo β‘ Good.. I have something for you… Here take this.
.
Tayo gave me an ATM card, I collected it wondering why he gave me this one.. He already knows I have a bank account.
.
Tayo β‘ This ATM is for my private account but it is now yours… I’ve been saving some money in it for your tertiary education… I’ve already made you my next kin so if I’m dead.. The account is yours… I’ve already linked everything to your phone number, so that see alerts and the rest.. But do not use this account except if you’re in need of something very important or useful.. Understand.
.
Lily β‘ Yes sir.. Thank you.
.
Tayo β‘ You’re welcome.
.
Some minutes later, Tayo dropped me off at school and went on his way, I went straight for my first class after that.
Later that afternoon after our biology practical exams… Some of us were asked to stay behind and put some of the things back in their places, Teddy was also among that were told to stay, I tried talking to him but he ignored me he was still mad about what happened yesterday , so after everyone had left the lab leaving only the two of us.. I approached him directly. Teddy seeing I was coming to hid place tried to leave the lab but not before I grabbed hold of him, he tried to brush me off so I twisted his arm and pinned him down on the table.
.
Teddy β‘ Ouch! Lily… Let go! Come on.
.
Lily β‘ So now you’re willing to talk?
.
Teddy β‘ Come on stop.. This is not funny.
.
Lily β‘ Promise if I let you go.. You stay and listen to what I have to say.
.
Teddy β‘ Okay.. Okay. Fine.
.
I let go of his arm and Teddy stood up propping himself.. We sat on the stools and began to talk.
.
Lily β‘ How are you?
.
Teddy β‘…. Fine.
.
Lily β‘ You look good today.
.
Teddy β‘ As if you care..
.
Lily β‘ Look, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday.. Okay.. I really am.. I shouldn’t have embarrassed you like that and I honestly didn’t mean to do it.. I’m sorry. Its just that.. (sobs)
.
After that, I began to cry.. It wasn’t real, it was just a little stunt we women do when we want to soften the hearts of guys and in Teddy’s case, He fell for it easily..
.
Teddy β‘ Lily… What’s wrong?
.
Lily β‘ Its… I’ve been an emotional wreck lately…..
.
Teddy β‘ Why? What’s wrong?
.
Lily β‘ Do you know Silas?
.
Teddy β‘ Your soldier friend? Yes.. What happened?
.
Lily β‘ He’s dead… He was murdered in cold blood… I’ve been feeling detected and sad since he died..
.
Teddy β‘ Jesus.. I’m truly sorry… I didn’t know you were going through such a hard time… I’m sorry.. May his soul rest in peace.
.
Lily β‘ Amen.
.
After that, Teddy and I sat close together for a while, He had strapped his arms around my waist holding me closer to him.. I felt glad be comforter by him.. It was something I needed during times like this.
Later after school was over, we decided to hang out and have some fun… Teddy had a little extra change in his pockets, so he insisted on taking me out to have a good time.
The first place we went to was the V. I. P restaurant, which was along side Zooroad. We had a fun time there, eating a nice hot and chilly goat meat pepper soup, after that we went to Jifatu stores when Teddy bought me some drinks and other delicacies… I really didn’t want any of this sweet sweet stuff cause I wanted to watch my sexy figure.. Taking too much of this things is unhealthy for a woman’s body. But anyhow I collected them anyway.
And After that, Teddy took me to our favorite hangout which was the Zoo. We found a secluded spot and spent the rest our time there kissing one another..
To be honest, I never thought the day would turn out like this… It was fun thanks to Teddy.. So after a while, I decided to go home cause the sun was about to set, after Teddy and I kissed and parted ways, I went straight home.
As I walked home, I felt like I was in cloud 9 thinking about the fun things Teddy and I did.. For once I didn’t think or worry about anything else.. I wished the rest the days would be like this.. So as I reached my neighborhood, I saw a ambulance van π¨ enter our neighborhood… I began to wonder which poor soul had died this evening….Just when I was almost about to reach the house… I saw some people gathering there and the ambulance that had passed me was parked there.. When I saw that… I rushed there as fast as I could to see what was going on.. When I got there I saw people lamenting and grieving over something.. As I pushed my way through them, I got into the house and saw Tayo on the floor, Asimi was busy crying like a goat and Obaro was busy consoling her…. The medics were over Tayo trying to check his pulse, My heart fell heavy when I saw all this especially Tayo’s face, His mouth was slightly open and his eyes showed a look of disbelief.
I stood and watched as medics tried to revive Tayo, They used the defibrillator on him several times but he didn’t stir.. As I looked on the life support monitors.. I saw the lines on the monitor were straight showing that Tayo was dead.. I felt down on my knees.. When I saw that… I couldn’t believe it… Tayo was dead… Just this morning we were having a conversation and now he’s dead.. I couldn’t cry or feel any sadness or grieve, I just stared at his lifeless body… I’ve cried enough already.. So I quietly stood up and went upstairs to my room, Tayo’s body was soon carried and put inside the body bag.. After that, his body was placed on a stretcher, then put inside the ambulance van and carried away
