REZORBLADE IN THE BIBLE
CHAPTER TEN ( Finale)
I told this guy’s I wanted to revenge my mum’s death and myself for going through what I have been through. I told them I wanted my father wiped off the face of this earth and that I will lead them to his place.
I had been following my father home after service, so I knew where he lived, Who he was and what he does. He had four children one of which I was 3 years older than me. She was finishing University that year to travel abroad for further studies. The second one was in upper sixth and will be going to the University soon. The other two were girls and were in secondary school.
His wife I guess karma had caught with her. She died of an unknown attack. I got all this information from his gate man with just a little encouragement I gave him. This information had added to my urge to kill him even more. I hated him for abandoning me in the streets to wallow and die in poverty.That fateful Sunday evening, I wanted us to strike because during the week I had other matters to deal with.
My father was no longer just an ordinary man. He had two restaurants and two hotels in different towns that he handled. His house also had a tight security, so I knew that it was going to be dangerous and quite challenging
We managed to go through the environment and then paid someone from the inside who let us in. We wore face mask and other mask to cover our nose and eyes. We all still had a reputation to keep most especially me Father Martin. I ordered that every one should be brought to the parlor which they all did.
“ Please sir don’t heart my family, anything you want I will give you.”
My father pleaded as Scar chased him downstairs to meet his Children.
“ shot your tramp!” Scar scolded him pointing a gun on his head as he made his way downstairs to where we were.
I had all his Children in the parlor except the one who had just finished the University.
I sat down quiet as I heard plead for the lives of his Children and that of his promising huge sums of Money.
“ Please I beg of you sir. I will do anything, just Let my Children go. They’re innocent.” He said that and regretted as I bloated out in anger
“ Innocent you say, and What about me?, Where did I go wrong? What was my own fault?”
“ Am sorry sir I have no idea what you’re talking about. I did nothing to anything to you.”
“ Oh you sure you didn’t do anything to me hah, You killed me when I was a child long, long time ago and am here to get my Revenge.”
“ I don’t understand sir. I… I… I don’t remember …”
“ Well why would you hah? When you had the perfect family while you left me in the streets to die. “
“ Well am back, and you will pay for this act. I was only six years old for crying out loud. I was still a child that needed care love and attention, but you made me a punching bag in your house. All the strokes I still have the marks till now “ I said as I turned and pull down my trousers and showed him the thunder strokes he had drawn with canes on my a*s.
“Look here, You see this, I still remember the strokes like it was yesterday.” I said as I pointed to them. To think you were supposed to be my father, my protector and my comforter, yet look at what I have become. A harden criminal”
“James?” He exclaimed in shock
“ I am… I am… I… am So Sorry my son. I was … I was under..”
“Or shot up with all that. It has nothing to do with me. Your sorry will do me nothing.”
“ Uncle please let my Dad go”. The last girl said as his brother struggles to cover her mouth.
“ Please James, forgive me. Forgive me Child. I was not in my right senses. I tried to look for you but I couldn’t get to you.”
“Don’t you Dare call me Child, I am not your child. Your Child died long time ago when he was being accused of stealing something he didn’t. Your Child died when he was raped by two other boys like him. I am sorry But your Child is no more”
“No no no. you’re my son and I loved you like any of my Child..”
Before he could finish saying that I fired the gun at him and the little girl rushed and took the bullet instead. I didn’t even realize I had shot the wrong person till I heard cries from the elder brother, the sister and the Father. I was confused and got scared. I didn’t what to kill an innocent child. I wanted to get my Revenge. I didn’t want to kill my own sister. Tears rolled down my Checks as I felt a thousand times worst than before. I was no different from my father. Because instead of protecting my sibling I killed Her.
Immediately at that moment, the gate man had reported us to the police. They came in and arrested all of us. They forcefully took out our marks and discovered that I was a the parish priest.
We were given Life imprisonment, but sometimes I wish they could have just given me a death sentence. Ever since the death of Mira my younger sister, I have tormented myself. The treatment they give me in Cell doesn’t measure up to the pain I feel deep inside. Despite everything my father still blames himself for abandoning me. He has been trying to connect though. He visits me in jail once in a while. I know my other siblings will forever hate me for killing Their last born.
No wonder God said we should leave Vengeance for him to handle. Look at me now. I am here even worst than before, because I have become the same person I was trying to punish. Please forgive and forget it will help you gain peace of mind and good life.
I am talking to you. Yes you that’s reading this my story. Make sure you plan good seeds in your society if you wish to experience solace and joy. Remember that one can never plan beans and expect to harvest corn. Give to the society what you will like to be returned with. Where there are trees, there’s always oxygen. Where there are littered waste, mosquitoes are never lacking. If you plan Hatred in a Child be ready for it’s outcome in future. Give me food water and a shelter and I shall equally return the favor one day by fetching you that water. Remember that what you do comes back to you in ten folds.
And to you broken Child, please give love and peace a Chance. Anger, revenge will only consume the little good you have in you. Forgive and forget just like our Lord Jesus Christ forgave us. Be true to yourself and follow the right parts.
