WE BOTH DIED AT THE END

CHAPTER 16 (THE DRAMA)

“Ahh! You are awake already?” Kate asked me while rubbing her eyes.

“Yes, I just couldn’t sleep properly”

“Why? Was it because of the bed?”

“Funny you. It wasn’t because of the bed. It was because of the event of today”

“Don’t worry Precious! We’ve prayed already and we shall pray again before we go and I believe God will do something”

“Amen o”

“Now, just get up brush your teeth and take your bath while I do the cooking. We have to eat because we need strength”

“No, I have to help you in the cooking”

“I disagree. You’ve gone through a lot already and I don’t want you to put ten Maggi instead of five because of over thinking or because of worrying and regrets”

We both laughed.

“Alright, if you insist”

And so I got up and washed myself. By the time I came back, she had prepared white rice already because there was stew already.

“Wow, you are fast!”

She laughed.

“Come on! Let’s eat before I go to bath”

We both ate and then she went to wash herself while I wait for her. She came back and then we both prayed together before we left to the conference room (that was where the meeting was held)

The lecturer was seated. The VC and some other people that I hadn’t seen before in the school. They look like top officials of the school and that was when I realized that the matter in hand is a serious one and only God, only God in heaven will help me.

We both greeted them and them pointed to where both of us should sit and we did. Suzan wasn’t in the meeting already and my mind kept telling me she is cooking up something bad but thank God we’ve prayed.

I saw the VC whispered something to the ear of the lecturer and then he looked towards the door of the conference room and then we heard a sound which caught out attentions.

Suzan walked in together with the old man. They were really in this together.

They greeted and then they were shown where to sit which they did.

The conference room was a large hall for which the school host important conferences and other meetings. It was designed for everything such as video conferences, convocations and many more.

The VC cleared his throat.

“Welcome everyone. I am the VC of this institution and I want us to introduce ourselves”

We all introduced ourselves.

“A matter was kept on my desk yesterday and I had to call on this impromptu meeting because I felt the matter is too big to keep it quiet. From what I’m seeing, I can tell that the lady with baba over there and then one of the ladies sitting by my right hand side are the main characters of this meeting. Am I right?”

“You are right Sir and between the two ladies seated by your right hand side, the one with the name Precious is the one involved” the lecturer explained

“What I heard was so annoying. I sincerely couldn’t sleep last night because I kept thinking; how could this kind of thing happen right under my nose? Little children involved in selling of human parts? (He turned left and right towards his colleagues foe their reactions, which they gave to him) if this matter is what I think it to be, it won’t end well for the culprit. Foe now, let me hear from both parties”

“Precious tell us your story” the lecturer said while my body was shaking.

Kate held my hand.

“You will be fine”

I stood up to speak but I was told to sit down instead.

“Good morning to you all! My name is Precious Jackson, a student of the department of Mass Communication year one. I came into this school alone and got to meet Suzan at an eatery. We became friends and I had to move from my place of stay to hers because of some situations at that time. After a while, I began to notice that Suzan spends some large amount of money one herself and also on me and most notably, she mostly doesn’t come back home or she comes back late into the night and so I decided to find out why. I followed her one faithful night to the back of the school where I saw how some two guys met her and gave her something inside a leather bag. She collected the bag and walked a distance almost towards the back end of the school just to meet some other people who were also holding leather bags. I also saw an old man in their midst and from what I could recall (I turned towards the old man) baba here was the person I saw in the midst of the young people. He was the one collecting the bags and was packing them into a truck. I only was able to find out the content because while they were keeping the bags at the foot of the old man, Suzan’s bag fell from her hand and then I saw the head of a human, still dripping blood. I almost shouted but I held it back and then I quickly returned home and pretended to be fast asleep before Suzan came in and slept off. I was surprised to return from lectures just to see people gathered around my room only to see the two guys that gave Suzan the leather bags that night shouting my name. I asked how they were able to know my name and then they said whenever I visit them for business, I usually wear clothes that had my name customized on it. That was when I realized Suzan did approached me on purpose. I customized my name on the clothes because Suzan bought the same kind and type of clothes for both of us and I had to do that to differentiate mine from hers and I immediately could tell that she usually wear my own clothes to visit those guys. Sir, I am sincerely innocent and had Nothing to do with this kind of things”

I finished speaking and then I sat down. I could see the facial expressions of everyone in the room. Suzan and the old man were sitting comfortably, I couldn’t read the expression of Kate. The VC, the lecturer and the others were all looking at me.

“Now that we’ve head from… What’s the name again?” The VC asked

“Precious Sir”

“Now that we’ve heard from Precious, let’s hear from Suzan”

“Good day to you all” Suzan greeted
