“I AM PRESIDENT MAMUD”

“I am sorry, I just told you everything that transpired between us… We don’t have to continue as Husband and wife. I just needed to clear it off my heart. “Isire said
“Three times!” Mamud said as he felt betrayed by Isire. Out of everything she had done wrong, this was the height. The anger in him was rising but he knew he had to control it, so he walked away from Isire for few minutes…
“I killed a girl because I didn’t want to commit adultery but you slept with another man three times… in two weeks” Mamud said
“BUT YOU ALSO MURDERED FILA IN ANGER, NO SINNER IS GREATER THAN THE OTHER… YOU BOTH HAVE YOUR WEAKNESSES!” A Voice said in Mamud’s Head…
“Well, That goes to show that we all are imperfect beings, I know you will never kill a person, so if adultery was your own mistake … I forgive you …” Mamud quickly said after being chastised by the voice…..
Isire could not believe what she heard from Mamud. She didn’t want to push her luck, so she changed the topic…
“Thank you, but where is Sebrena?”
“She is with the blind girl that rescued her. Sebrena now has amnesia and doesn’t remember us as family. She sees the blind lady as her mother. !”
“Hmm….!”
“Where is Minaya?”
“I told you, Hidoko has her!”
**************
A whole troop drove down to Hidoko’s residence asking for Minaya, but to their utmost shock. Hidoko had taken his private jet and travelled with Minaya.
He had dropped a note for Isire.
“I was informed you had gone, that shows that I cannot have you, neither can I have the presidential seat and I couldn’t afford to be the loser. Since I have no child of my own, I have taken Minaya with me. I promise to take care of her as mine… we may or may never meet again in life but be rest assured your daughter will be safe.” Signed by Hidoko.
Isire passed out and Mamud felt his heart was broken. He gathered his strength and encouraged himself….
*************
“Your Excellency, We appreciate you turning yourself in for the murder of Miss Sowak, one of your domestic staff. According to the Law of Nirato, A murderer is to be executed by firing squad, but due to the fact that you have been of great help and value to the Nirato Nation, it will be a great injustice to lose a great gem like you.
After several considerations Sir, the Legal system of Nirato has unanimously sentenced you to 15 years private imprisonment, which we would love to use a better word; Confinement. The country will build a solitude confinement apartment for you, where you have the privilege of having the First Lady and your closest relatives visit you on specific dates. The country of Nirato deeply appreciate this corrective sacrifice you are making for the nation. Thank you for upholding the Legal system…!” The judge presiding over Mamud’s case said
“Thank you! “ Mamud said “Can I choose the secluded place” “Yes …Your Excellency!”
“Oreke woods, exactly where I was found in that pit.!”
“Your request will be worked upon!”
