🔞 TOLANI 🔞
EPISODE 33
The policemen, Kennedy and Linda were downstairs when we came out of the Hotel Room.
I was broken, and my eyes were all swollen as Chimaobi held me by the arms.
“How did you get here ?” I asked Chimaobi.
“The receptionist. She called, telling me you were in danger and that you gave her the contact.”
“I thought she didn’t understand what I was setting out to say?”
Getting downstairs, we walked up to her as I rushed and hugged her closely. The manager was there too.
“It’s alright. Don’t worry, everything is fine now.” She patted my shoulders.
“Thank you so much sir, for granting us our request to access the room,” Chimaobi shook the manager, turning to me.
“He gave us the spare key to the room and permitted us to intrude on the client’s privacy,” He said to me.
“Thanks so much, sir,” I almost knelt down.
These situations had humbled me.
“Babe, I promised her 2 million Naira.” I said to him.
“I know” Chimaobi responded as he walked up to her to get her account details, but she rejected the offer.
“Not at all. It’s human of me to help to save a fellow. I do not need money offered to me to be human.” She said, politely, but I insisted.
The receptionist would not agree. She stood firm, rejecting the offer.
Chimaobi requested for her contact and promised to put a call to her.
Going out of the hotel to get into the car, Yahya Segun called and Chimaobi picked the call, giving the phone to me to speak to my dad.
“Omo mi!” My dad cried out from the other extreme of the phone.
“Baba mi” I answered, crying.
“Oh! Jesu! kì yóò dára fún ọ láé, Linda.” He lamented, causing Linda.
“Can you give the young lady the phone?” Referring to the receptionist. We went back and gave the receptionist the phone.
“Good afternoon, sir” she greeted my Dad.
“Olorun bukun fun o. Ah! You shall have no tears. Ah! For this, you have done to save my daughter, I am getting you a cheque and no no no, don’t reject it. It is from my heart. You can get a shop and I am stocking it with whatever product you want. Leave this monthly salary, it’s no work. “ Dad said as she kept smiling, thanking him.
Kennedy and Linda were taken to the police station, while Chimaobi and I headed home.
“You see? As we didn’t inform Ruth of our plans, everything went well.” I said to Chimaobi.
“Honestly! This girl is just a devil.”
“How could she do this to me?” I said, almost in tears.
“Do not worry, okay? The police will get across to her. Mr. Ernest and the HOD have lost their jobs and are serving punishment. She can’t be an exception.” He assured me, hugging me closer.
“ Now, the mountain is out of our way, I can definitely hold you close to my heart without having to worry about anything.” Chimaobi tried to kiss me, but I shifted backwards.
“What?”
“She kissed me and the fo.ol pressed my butts at the staircase. I feel filthy,” I said to him.
“Please, can you stop this? You are Tolani, my woman. You are strong, and I’m proud of you for fighting so smartly and strongly to be with me.” He kissed my lips before letting me bath.
The next day we were called to come to the police station as Linda pleaded guilty.
Getting to the police station, we found her dad, who was a very tall, fine man.
“Are you the young woman who was assaulted?” The dad reached out to me, but Chimaobi shifted me behind him, looking at the man.
“Hello? Who are you?” He asked Chimaobi.
“You will get to know who I am when I am done with your use.less daughter.”
“What?” The man reacted angrily as a police man came inbetween the two of them.
“Can I speak to the girl?” Linda’s Dad spoke to the policeman, but Chimaobi would not agree.
Chimaobi and I were later invited into the questioning room. Linda was already seated and was being questioned.
“Please, forgive me, I am not in this alone. I don’t want to go to jail again.” She begged.
“Who is your informant?” the investigator asked, but she kept begging to be spared.
“Young woman! You have refused to talk since yesterday’s night. Who updated you on everything about them?” He shouted again.
“Sir, please, this would be my 4th time of being jailed. Please…” She didn’t even finish talking when the investigator gave her a slap on her face as she screamed so loudly.
Her dad kept reacting at every sound of her voice.
“I am going to use this plier on your fingers if you don’t open up,” The investigator threatened her the more.
“I will talk.”
“Go on!” He ordered.
“Okay, sir,” she said, breathing in and out as our hearts pounded.
“Why is she finding it difficult to call the person?” We resonated as Linda immediately hit the investigator and stretched her hands into his pocket to take his gun, but he was fast enough to take hold of her hands, turned it around, hit her back, and handcuffed her immediately.
“She’s dangerous.” He said, dragging her to the wall and slapping her severally, that the other investigator had to intervene.
I couldn’t look again, I bent low because she was bleeding in the mouth. This was beyond her father. Linda has been escaping crimes and punishment because her father would always interfere, settle the big men in the sector and oppress the poor.
This case was beyond him as both families are elites.
“Who is your informant?” The investigator shouted again, this time, pressing a hot electrical device in her armpit as she cried so loudly.
“I swore not to reveal the identity.”
“Then get ready to be tormented.” He pressed it again as she shouted her spirit out, shouting the name of the informant.
“DRAKE! DRAKE! DRAKE! He gave me all the Information.” She said, to the disappointment of Chimaobi and I.
“DRAKE? Chimaobi’s bosom friend. That silent and peaceful guy,” I hit the desk.
“How? Drake? My man?” Chimaobi exclaimed.
To be continued! ♥️♥️♥️
