...Behind Bars.
"Who told you I killed Axymah's mother, I did not kill her!" Mr Dario said.
"You are lying, you killed her." Mrs Amira argued.
"If you know then why ask me?"
"If you did not kill her then who did?"
"Cyril Deborah Aka Debby gold." As Mr Dario said the name I felt my chest tighten, that is a lie, Debby gold said Mr Dario did it, now Mr Dario is saying Debby gold did it, what exactly is the truth.
"Let me explain things to you, I'll break it down for you, I sent Debby gold to kill Axymah's mother, because I did not want to soil my hands by killing the woman he loved."
"But why? Why would you ask to kill the love of your life?"
"She would have exposed me and I would have been behind bars, I couldn't let that happen so I had to do something about her besides she is not even dead yet."
"What do you mean Axymah's mother is not dead yet?"
"You'll know sooner or later, I choose later, that's a secret to be revealed later, all you have to know now is she is in a very deep sleep and there is only one way to wake her up."
"True loves kiss will wake her up." Mrs Amira said hopefully.
"This is not a fairytale, get your head out of the cloud, someone will have to embark on a dangerous, life threatening journey to bring her back to life but in the end she will die."
"I don't understand,be straight forward."
"Next question."
"Please just answer me."
"Next question."
"Why do you torture and maltreat Axymah?"
"It gives me joy and I hate her."
"Why?"
"Your husband has twenty more minutes afterwards you'll meet your end, you better start saying your last prayers."
What do I do to help save Mrs Amira? If only that officer had listened to me, Mrs Amira would have been safe, Mr Dario would have been captured and him and his colleague will not be dead, I have an idea. The laser is right next to me, I can concentrate it on the rope, it will break and Mrs Amira will be free than she will rush towards me, if Mr Dario tries to shoot at us I will use the grenade on him and like that we will escape.
I mentally Pat myself on the back for the amazing plan, but how will I execute it, I need to hurry and do something, Mr Dario shot two officers dead so I know he will not hesitate to kill Mrs Amira or me.
"Fifteen minutes more." Mr Dario announced. Just then Mr Hassan walked in with another two officers, do this people have a death wish or something? Who am I to ask that, me being here is already enough of a death wish.
"Back so soon that's good, I do not see Axymah anywhere, is she outside?"
"No she is not and do you know why?" Now that Mr Dario is busy speaking to Mr Hassan I can execute my plan, but I need to move a bit to a better angle, I grabbed the grenade and the laser pen and I moved as they spoke, none of them seemed to notice me which is a good thing.
"Why is Axymah not here with you?"
"Because the hospital refused to release her, let. My. Wife. Go."
"What if I don't? What will you do? Lecture me on manners and good heart and kindness and all of those sh*t?" I moved a bit towards Mrs Amira's back so I could break the rope, Mrs Amira spotted me and I put my fingers to my mouth, she got the message and went back to listening to what they were saying but throwing glances at me every second.
"Please release my wife, I beg of you."
"I knew you would not be able to provide Axymah that's why I told you to go bring her besides she had heard things that are not meant for her ears so I can't let her go." I aimed the pen on the rope tying Mrs Amira to the chair from behind, I pressed the button on top and pressed it down not taking my hands off, I moved the laser lower till I cut through all the ropes that was trying her to the chair, but she didn't move, I wonder how the men didn't notice all this, I should consider being a ninja.
I then moved to cut the rope tying her hands and legs but I have to be extremely careful so as not to hurt her. The ropes tying her legs came off and Mr Dario turned around to look at Mrs Amira, he saw the ropes came loose and he lost it.
"You bitch!!" He said as he aimed his gun at her, Mr Hassan quickly kicked Mr Dario on his leg and he lost his footing missing Mrs Amira's head by twenty inches, Mrs Amira rushed towards me and we went to stand next to Mr Hassan.
"Put your hands where we can see them." The officers said as they pointed their guns at Mr Dario.
"I am not one to give up." He took his gun from the floor and was about to fire but the officers were quicker, they shot at his arm and he started to bleed, he dropped the gun and the officers arrested him.
Finally Mr Dario will be behind bars.
After the officers took Mr Dario away Mrs Amira gave me a tight hug.
"Thank you." She told me with tears in her eyes.
"I am sorry, we would have saved you earlier but the now two dead officers did not wait to hear the plan."
"You have nothing to apologize for." She said as we walked out of the building.
"Do not worry Mrs Amira, we have Mr Dario in our clutches, he will be behind bars for a very very long time."
"Thank you Mr Akhila." Mrs Amira said.
"Just doing my job."
"Where did this young lady come from?" Mr Akhila asked motioning to me.
"She was the one that saved me, she snuck inside and she saved me, without her help I'll still be tied up with Mr Dario inside the building."
"Thank you." Mr Akhila thanked me.
"I was happy to help besides Mrs Amira and I are in this together, right?"
"Right."
"Come on, my husband and I will drop you off at home."
"Okay." We walked to Mr Hassan's car and we got in.
"Where do you stay?" Mr Hassan asked.
"Keep going I'll direct you."
"Okay."
I quickly texted Kally, one of my other friends and at the same time give directions.
Me: Sup girl, how have you been?
Kally: Fine and you, its been a while I heard from you👂👎.
Me: Yeah I have been really busy will come by your place tomorrow.
Kally: "Okay."
Me: Can you do me a favour?
Kally: Yeah sure, what is it?
Me: If my parents call to ask if I was at your place please tell them yes.
Kally: Okay girl, but why?🙀
Me: I am supposed to be grounded🙄 but I went out because I was mad at my mom, I do not want her to feel bad if I tell her that I was all alone in the park wallowing in hurt, she will feel really bad and I do not want that, whatever she did, she is still my mom😪.
Kally: Oh dear😫, sure no problem I'll do that🤓.
Me: thanks bae😘😘
Kally: I'll go tell my mom now, later😝
Me: byee❤
Kally and I like to add emojis in our chat, its a way of expressing how we really feel. I could have just called her but if Mrs Amira hear our conversion she'll ask why I lied to Kally and she will question if my mom knows I am helping Azyma, I can assure you it won't go down well.
"We are here." Mr Dario announced.
"Thank you, please take care of Mrs Amira." I told Mr Hassan and then got down of the car.
"I will." He replied.
"Do have a nice night."
"You too Alero." With that I walked into my house ready to face the wraths of my parents head on, Mr Dario is behind bars, he will not be able to terrorise Azyma anymore, I am so happy nothing can ruin tonight not even my parents over protectiveness and wrath.
I got in and met my mom and dad in the living room on the couch.
"I am back." I announced from where I stood just to get their attention, my mom stood from the couch and walked towards me, we are now five feet apart.
"Oh welcome, welcome please come in." My mom said in a sarcastic tone and I resisted the urge to roll my eye, I do not want to add fuel to the fire.
"Where were you? Your mother and I were worried sick about you."
"Mom pissed me off, I couldn't breathe in the house so I went to the park afterwards I went to Kally's house."
"You are grounded for the rest of your life go to your room." My mom said as she broke into sobs.
"Mom?" I called but she just walked out on me.
"Where were you?" My dad asked.
"You don't believe me."
"How can I with the behavior you are putting on lately, your mom was worried sick about you."
"She should not have slapped me in the first place besides its not my fault she is cold hearted towards other people's kids."
"You can stand boldly and say that to my face."
"Well what do you want me to do?"
"Apologize."
"I am sorry."
"Not to me!! Your mom, the one you really hurt."
"Okay." I said and walked to my room.
I took a cold bathe and changed into my PJs after which I went to the kitchen to go talk to her, I could not smell any savoury scent when I got to the living room, is mom not baking anything? I asked myself, she usually bake when she is stressed out, I must have really stressed her out tonight so why isn't she baking?
I got to the kitchen to see my mom standing next to the kitchen island and staring off into space with tears dropping from her eyes, did I really hurt her that bad, I didn't even do anything.
"Mom?" I called but she didn't answer.
"Mom?" I called again, no answer.
"Mom?!!" I called a bit louder, she heard and answered me.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"I want to know why you are crying."
"Why? Its not like you care."
"Of course I care, I care about you a lot, you are my mom, I love you."
"If you do then you'll listen to me."
"Fine!! Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it, I am really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I don't want you to get involved with Axymah until Mr Dario has been arrested,okay?"
"Okay, I will not have anything to do with Azyma until Mr Dario has been arrested, I promise." I have no problem making this promise because I know that Mr Dario has already been captured and he is behind bars, Debby gold will join him soon.
"Its for your own good, all I want to do is protect you."
"I know mom." I told her and she pulled me in a tight hug.
"I love you mom."
"I love you too baby girl. How about I make you some grilled cheese sand which." My mom offered.
"Yes please."
She made it and I watched her make it.
"Here you go." She handed it to me in a plate and a glass of milk.
"Thank you." I will take it to my room I told her.
"Alero?" My mom called.
"Yes mom."
"Don't forget you are grounded till you are eighteen."
"Okay mom." I said with a sad smile. "Good night mom, sweet dreams, I love you."
"I Love you too." With that the conflict between my mom and I was resolved.
I went to my room, I locked the door behind me, switched on the TV, turned down the volume and enjoyed my grilled cheese sand which.
After Mr Akhila watched the video I've got, he will have to put Debby gold behind bars, will go visit Azyma in the hospital after word spreads that Mr Dario is behind bars, I finished My Sand which and I turned off the TV, soon after I fell into a peaceful sleep.
