“Doctor please you are scaring me.” I said as soon as we got into how office.

“Don’t be scared Ma’am. I just didn’t want to break the disturbing need out there because of the boy.” He said and I got more scared.

“Disturbing news? What do you mean?” John asked.

“Please sit.” He said and I sat down quickly, so did John. He looked so scared too.

“Doctor please tell us what’s going on.” I said trying not to freak out.

“When your daughter was brought in, we ran some tests and these are the results.” He said passing some papers to us.

“Please don’t do this. I can’t read anything now. Please just tell me.” I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.

“When we ran the tests, we saw poison in her system. It was beginning to eat her up, thank God he brought her here early.” He said.

“What?” I whispered trying to take all of it in.

“The poison in her stomach has stayed an hour before she was brought here. I am happy they arrived on time. She is out of danger now, but her intestine is kinda damaged and needs time to heal.” He said and more tears rolled down my eyes.

“God how is this possible?” I whispered In tears and John held me by the hand pretty tight.

“She will be here for some days, so you need to tell them the truth.” He said and I nodded slowly. I was dumbfounded, I couldn’t believe what my ears and brain was telling me.

John helped me up and we both walked out of the office.

“Who the hell Poisoned her? I am sure someone at the party did this.” I said and John nodded.

“And we are yet to know that person, and we need to know that, whosoever poisoned her wants her dead. We need to protect her.” He said and I nodded cleaning my tears.

“I just can’t phantom who did this to my daughter. She just wanted to see her father, why would they do that to her?” I asked as we were in sight.

“Mom.” Isaac called running to me.

“Isaac.” I called as we embraced each other. 

“What’s wrong with Diana. What’s wrong?” He asked staring into my eyes.

“Isaac, Diana was poisoned. At the party.” I said and he staggered backwards with his eyes widened.

“What?” He asked in a whisper. He was even more surprise than I was when I heard.

“Isaac.” I wanted to touch him but he moved back.

“Tell me she is okay.” He said breathing really hard.

“She is okay. She just needs some days at the hospital. Her intestine were pretty damaged.” John said and he looked down staggering slowly.

“No! No that’s not possible. I was with her.” He said and I rushed to him holding him.

“Isaac you weren’t with her all the time. Someone did this, and we don’t know the person, but one thing I know is that he or she wants her dead.” I said and he bursted into tears as he rested his head in my arms.

“Why would they do that to Diana? Why!! Diana is innocent, she knows nothing.” He mumbled and tears rolled down my eyes as I tapped him.

“She will be fine Isaac. She just needs to be protected. The person that did that is out there somewhere.” I said and he stood up straight.

“I will find the person and kill whosever did this to my Diana.” He said and I shook my head.

“Don’t take the matters into your hands Isaac, we will report it to the police. They will just have to do some research on the house.” John said.

“Her mother can’t know about this.” I said and they looked at me.

“Oh yes she can. Cos if they don’t find what happened at her party yesterday in the next 24 hours, then I will be forced to take things into my hands.” Isaac said walking to the ward where Diana was.

“God, this is so hard.” I said sighing heavily.

“You don’t suspect anyone at that party?” John asked and I sighed sitting on the chair.

“There were many people at the party yesterday. The good ones,the bad ones, those we don’t know, does that know us and those we can never suspect.” I said and he sighed.

“I can’t still figure out why they want to hurt Diana. She was with her father right?” He asked and I nodded.

“But not like one hour after they left. Her father left long before they left the party.” I said still thinking about what the doctor told me.

“She can’t die John. I’m not going to survive it.” Isaac said with his lips shivering.

“She won’t. We would protect her.” He said and I nodded looking at him.

He looked messed up.

“I always felt mother was up to no good and that’s why I found it so hard to forgive her.” I said to Isaac as we walked back into the mansion.

This time lot of guest had arrived and I could even sight that arrogant bastard in the congregation.

“I understand how you feel Diana. But always know she is still your mother, you can’t change that.” He said and I sighed.

“Why do this night have to be awful? What is that Bastard doing here?” I asked staring at the guy.

“That’s Enoch.” He said and I looked at him in surprise.

“How did you get to know his name? Did you talk already?” I asked and he shook his head.

“Not really. The woman that was with me, is his mother.” He said and I looked at him.

“What does she want from you?” I asked and he smiled.

“Nothing. She just wanted to talk, and I also needed someone to talk you. You know very well I know no one here.” He said and I nodded.

“Hope she didn’t say awful things like her son?” I asked and she shook her head.

“Not at all. She is nothing like her son. I wonder where he got such disgusting character from.” He said and I looked up to see Mother approach us.

“Hey Diana.” She said smiling widely. To be truthful, she looked very beautiful.

“Hi.” I replied coldly recalling all father had told me.

“Hi Ma’am.” Isaac greeted and she smiled at him before facing me.

“I have been looking for you, where were you?” She asked and I smriked.

“You don’t have to look for me. Your family is here.” I said and she sighed.

“I should excuse you.” Isaac said and before I could stop him he left. He knew I would say no. So he left very fast.

“Diana..” she called and I cut her short.

“Can we talk outside?” I asked and she sighed looking around.

“Oh, you don’t have five minutes to spare for your abandoned daughter, or you are embarrassed they will see me with you.” I said and she shook her head.

“Come.” She said holding my hand and pulling me out of the house.

“We can talk here.” She said and I nodded.

“I will ask you few questions and I will be so happy if you replied honestly.” I said and she nodded smiling.

“Go on Diana.” She said.

“Why did you cheat on Father?” I asked and her eyes widened. She looked around moving closer to me.

“Where did you hear that from?” She asked staring into my eyes.

“That wasn’t the reply of my question. Did you cheat on Father?” I asked and she swallowed hard looking away.

“I guess that’s true.” I said as tears heat my eyes.

“Diana.” She called but I shook my head.

“My next question.” I said and she bowed her head.

“So you actually left me with Mom because you wanted to move in with your lover, and then you kept telling me you had a misunderstanding which father didn’t want to settle. Is that right?” I asked in a shaky voice and she looked at me.

“Jacob is here.” She said looking around.

“I don’t care. So you were actually telling me lies right? You made me believe it was Father’s fault. You wanted me to develop hatred for him. Why?”

“Why would you do that? Why did you leave him? When you knew you didn’t love him, why did you give him a child knowing you won’t keep her with you when the time comes?” I asked in tears and she began to cry too.

“Diana I’m sorry.” She mumbled.

“No you aren’t. You have want you wanted. A beautiful mansion, lovely beautiful and handsome kids. You don’t need me.” I said and she shook her head moving her hand to my face.

“Diana.” I heard father call. He stood afar staring at his and mother turned to look at the caller. Then she saw it was father and she became dumbfounded.

I looked at both of them and wondered how beautiful it would be if they were together. If mother didn’t go for someone else.

“Hi Peace.” Father said walking to us.

“Jacob what are you doing here?” She asked angrily.

“He came to see me. Is there anything wrong about that? At least he didn’t cause all this. You did.” I said angrily and father held my hand.

“It’s fine Diana. Things happen for a reason.” He said and I tried calming down.

“Diana please can you listen to my side too? I know I am at fault, but please hear me out.” She said.

“We need the celebrant on stage. Mother where are you?” We heard Trox say from inside.

“Go In, your children needs you.” I said walking away with Dad.

“I should leave now.” He said as we walked in.

“Why?” I asked.

“She doesn’t want me here. But trust me,I will come visiting often now. Now I know you don’t hate me.” He said and I smiled.

“I love you father.” I said hugging him and he kissed my head.

We got home and we met Mom in the living room. It looked like she was waiting for us to arrive so she could go to the shop.

“You are back.” She said and we nodded smiling.

“Yes we are!” We chorused happily.

“Erhnn. Am going out.” She said and I narrowed my eyes looking at her.

“Not to the shop?” I asked and she shook her head looking away.

“I know where she is going.” Isaac said and I nodded.

“I think I know too.” I replied laughing.

“Since you know. I would be off now. We will meet at your mother’s place at 7pm.” She said and I nodded grinning.

“Greet Uncle John for me mom.” I said and she nodded stepping out of the house. I shut the door and looked at Isaac who was staring at his cake.

“You can’t wait to eat it right.” I said and he nodded.

“Yes. Come cut out some for me.” He said happily pulling me to where the cake was.

I picked up the knife that was next to it and cut out a big piece for him.

“Happy birthday Isaac ” I said passing the cake to his mouth and he opened up his mouth to eat it.

“Wow, it’s delicious.” He said as he chew it.

“Feed me too.” I said happily and he took the cake from me and moved it to my mouth. 

I bite on it and the icing sugar stained my mouth.

“You have something close to your lips.” He said and I nodded giggling.

“I felt it too.” I said and raised my hand to clean it but he stopped me. 

“I will do it.” He said moving closer to me and I stared into his eyes. He reached for the sugar with his mouth and licked it off slowly. I smiled as he did it.

He wanted to raise up his head but I pulled him back and planted a kiss on his lips. He reciprocated immediately opening up for me.

I felt his wrap his arms around my waist and I wrapped my hands around his neck deepening the kiss. Our tongues touched as we began to breath pretty hard.

He moved me away from the dinning table moving me back slowly until my back hit the wall. He raised me up and I wrapped my legs around him.

He disengaged and looked into my eyes.

“Why did you stop?” I asked looking at him.

“I want to be that bad boy now.” He said and I smiled.

“I want that too.” I said closing up the gap among us with a kiss. This time more intense and pretty fast.

He carried me and moved me away from the wall, walking to only where God knows. My eyes were closed and I guess his were too.

“It’s risky walking without knowing where to go.” I said opening my eyes and he did. 

“I was heading to the room.” He sad breathing hard.

“You weren’t looking. We could have fallen.” I said laughing. I climbed down and pulled him by the hand into the room.

He stood in front of the bed and I pushed him to lay on the bed. I climbed the bed and sat on his abs lowing my head to kiss him again.

And for the very first time,I felt his hand grab my a*s making a slight moan escape my mouth. He has been really controlling himself all these days.

He rolled over me and stood on top of me. He reached for my hand and pulled me up making me hug him. He reached for my zipper and pulled it down to the starting of my a*s.

He reached for the strips and pulled them down letting them fall down my arm. He pulled the gown down my upper body and my b**bs jumped out and he looked at me.

“You weren’t wearing bra?” He asked and I shook my head.

“I shouldn’t wear one under this.” I replied and he smiled making me lay on the bed again. He moved down and then pulled the gown down my hips.

The gown was off soon and I was left in only panties.

He looked at my body and I shut my eyes shyly, and before I knew it I felt his lips on my tummy making me gasp.

“I have never done this before. But I have a feeling that I should do this.” He said and I smiled looking at him as he pulled my pants down.

He placed a kiss in between my thighs and this time a loud moan escaped my mouth.

“Wait, why are you wet here? Did you pee?” He asked and I laughed.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know what that means.” I said and he smriked.

“I know it. Who wouldn’t know this in this century. Was just teasing.” He said and I felt his tongue on my cl*ts and I screamed very loud.

TBC….

 

                 ISAAC 

I walked down the street, feeling so happy about the new foot wear I just got. It suit well with the trouser I wore.

My stomach began to grumble again and I needed to eat. I sighed remembering Diana. If she was here she would have gotten me something to eat.

But I need to get used to the fact that we see when we see and nothing more. 

I saw some couples coming, they had snacks in their hands and my attention was fast drawn to them. If only they could give me part of the snacks, then I will be totally fine.

They got close and I approached them trying to catch their attention.

“Good afternoon.” I said and to my surprise, the wife smiled at me.

“Hi son. How are you?” She asked in a caring way.

” Fine but hungry.” I said and she smiled stretching the snacks To me.

“Here have this. Eat and be happy.” She said and I smiled.

” You act like my friend.” I said smiling.

” What’s his or her name?” She asked while the man just stared at us.

“Diana.” I said and she furrowed her brows.

” Diana?” She asked and I nodded.

“Yes. The pizza girl. Do you know her?” I asked and she smiled.

“She is my neice. I am the owner of the pizza shop.” She said and my eyes widened.

” Really? I am seeing you for the very first time. Now I know Diana took after your kindness.” I said and she smiled.

” I am happy to help.” She said.

“Thank you. And greet her for me. Tell her Isaac is sending his greetings.” I said and she nodded.

” I will do just that.” She said looking at the man with her who just smiled back. 

“Bye.” They bade walking away. I stood right there and I began to consume the snacks.

I was still eating and enjoying myself when I felt a car speed up to where I was. I quickly moved away so i won’t be hit.

The car came to halt abruptly splashing mud on me.

I shut my eyes in anger but right now I can do nothing. I looked down and I saw my shoe was stained with mud already.

Now if Diana sees it she won’t like it.

The door opened and I saw a young guy come out. He looks young, I mean very young. Maybe we are age mates or he should be older with just a year or two.

And he owns a car already? Wow that is amazing.

“What the hell is a street child doing in front of my gate?” He asked smriking as he looked at me from head to toe.

I looked back to confirm what he was saying and then I saw it was true. There was a very huge mansion behind me and I was right in front of it’s gates.

“Oh am sorry about that.” I said and wanted to move away when he stopped me.

“You think sorry would solve the problem you just caused?” He asked and I furrowed my eyes in confusion

“What problem?” I asked.

“You standing with your filthy body in front of my gate is the biggest problem. I hate streets children.” He said and I got pissed.

” Why not try calming down. You having all these today doesn’t mean I won’t have. The children on the streets are just like you. You should be thankful your life isn’t like one of us.

 None of us wanted to be this way. Fate did this, so stop blabbing okay?” I barked in anger catching him unaware.

“Wow. So you are raising your voice at me?” He asked and I scoffed.

” I don’t care who the hell you are, or who you think you are. The least you can do is to splash mud water on me which you already did. And the highest you can do is kill me which I am always prepared for every passing day.” I said before walking away from his presence.

Enough of them looking down on us. We didn’t wish for this life, we didn’t want to be on the streets. 

So we should be taken care of and loved. I actually can’t blame people, I blame fate for taking us to this cruel part of life. 

I kept walking with tears rolling down my eyes constantly. I want all this to change. I am tired of been trashed by every one.

I got to a part of the street which has a public tap. I took a look at my messed clothes and shoes and signed.

I turned the tap and I saw it had water in it.

I removed my shoe and then picked up my already stained shirt and poured some water on it so I began to clean the shoe.

I also used the shirt to clean off the mud on my trousers. After everything, I picked the shirt I just washed and wore it.

Thank God I washed it. I would have been stranded now. 

The painful part is that I planned to wear that shirt for three days. Now it’s ruined because he is an a*shole.

   

TBC…. 

                ISAAC 

I sat for some minutes with the shirt I washed waiting patiently for it to dry so I could get moving like I have always done.

I felt filled after eating the Pizza Diana offered me. Now I know why some families can’t do without pizza. I keep seeing the cartons in the bins all around the streets.

I took some water from the river and drank it over it. I sat next to the rock where I spread my clothes feeling extra bored.

And for the first time I wanted someone around badly. No one has ever talked to me like Diana did so I have never felt lonely not until now.

And she looks quite old. I wonder how old she is. I will ask her if at all we meet again.

I checked my shirt again and I noticed it was dry. The sun was quite scorching, it was for my own good. 

I packed the shirt neatly and stucked it into the back pocket of my trousers. I rinsed my legs and the slippers I have always had on.

It was almost worn out, so I had to carry my feets gradually to avoid it cutting. I walked away from the river happily.

This is the second time in 19 years that I have eaten good food. The first time was when I still had the streets children cater for me.

They brought me fresh pasta from only Heaven knows. They never told me where they got it from till we are scattered abroad for one reason or the other.

I was so happy and ate with great joy. I will never forget them, not even in the after life. They were my family.

It’s so painful we had to split up. I was still walking when my leg hit a stone and I fell to the ground.

“Argh.” I groaned as I felt sore pains at my ankle.

I rose up head to look at the stone. How come did I not see that? 

I stood up dusting my shirt, I then noticed two things were wrong.

I couldn’t stand on my two legs. My left leg was hurting badly.

And two, my slippers got worn out.

“Sh*t. What do I do now? I can’t walk barefooted.” I thought holding the slipper in my hand.

I placed my leg on the floor and I felt the heat from the sun burn my feet.

“Ah.” I gasped raising my leg quickly. The ground was so hot due to the scorching sun.

“What do I do.” I thought trying to fix the slippers. But unfortunately, it was damaged beyond repairs.

“What do you expect Isaac. You have been wearing this for three years.” I said to myself in pains. Sometimes I just keep questioning my dead parents why they gave birth to me at the very first place.

I looked around for anything that could be of help. Then I sighted a nylon close to me. It looked thick in texture. 

“This should help till I find a new pair of slippers.” I thought reaching for the nylon. 

I rested my back on the tree and began to wear the nylon on my leg. I tied it at my ankle and then placed it on the ground.

“This seems better.” I thought smiling. The leg that was hurting was the one without a slipper, so I won’t do much touching of the ground since I can’t walk well and will have to leap.

I began to move with just a slipper until I got to the main road of the street. Some children were passing and when they saw me they bursted into laughter.

They looked rich and I knew they can never understand what life is yet. I ignored them and kept moving. I saw a bin at the corner and I smiled.

Who knows? I can find a useless slipper in there. That would serve the purpose for now.

I rushed to where it was and began to offload the trash, in search for a pair of slippers. I almsot offloaded everything and was at the edge of giving up when my hand hit something.

I brought it out and I saw it was a Shoe. A male’s pair.

“Wow.” I said happily examining it. It didn’t look torn or anything. It was close to new, maybe a rich person dropped it.

I tried it on and I saw it was a little bigger than my leg. But it was still very manageable.

“Yes! At least finding a nice shoe few days to your birthday is the best. I haven’t see or worn something that has this kind of quality since I have been living.

Diana is good luck. I met her today and I find something expensive. I can’t wait to tell her if at all we see.

I walked away from the bin majestically. I am sure going to surprise Diana the next time i see her.

TBC…

 

         DIANA 

I watched him walk away smiling. He looked unkept but very handsome. This is the first time I am seeing him around here. Where does he stay?

I walked back to where I packed my scooter with my helmet in my hand. I carried the cartons of pizza that are tied at the back of it.

I carried them carefully and moved to the hotel.

“Hi.” I said to the guards at the door.

“Hi.” One of them replied in a very thick voice.

“Pizza delivery.” I said raising up the carton. They opened the door for me to walk in.

“Thanks.” I said as I walked into the main building. I wasn’t surprised at the hugeness of it, this isn’t the first time of me delivering pizza here.

“Hey.” A lady called me and I turned to face her.

“Here.” I said handing the pizza over to her. She wore the motel’s polo shirt, so i knew she was  a worker. Probably a new one.

She collected it from me and smiled.

“Thanks.” She said walking away. I also walked out of the building heading back to my scooter. I got outside and I saw some guys close to my scooter.

They were smocking and drinking. Why must it be close to my scooter? Can’t they move into the motel?

“Excuse me please.” I said trying not to freek out.

” Hey pizza girl.” One drunk one said asking close to me.

“Don’t dare.” I mumbled. I didn’t want to cause any scene here cos it won’t be good at all.

“You are so pretty.” He said tracing his fingers on my face making me boil in anger.

The rest stared at us laughing making me very angry.

“Move away.” I said within gritted teeth.

” She wants to beat me.” He said to the others and they laughed in mockery.

“What will you do honey?” He asked moving his head to mine and in anger I smashed my head on his forehead making his scream.

I grabbed the bottle that was with him and began to move to the others. Their eyes widened and they took to their heels.

I dropped the bottle and wore my helmet, I ignited the engine and rode off.

I was moving on a normal pace when I noticed I was been followed by some people.

I needed no one to tell me it was the guy I smached. Maybe he want to look for support and he wants to revenge.

I looked back and I saw they were on power bikes moving very close. 

“Sh*t!” I mumbled increasing the pace on which I rode. I didn’t have any strength to fight the guys coming behind me.

They were up to seven. I need a place to hide as soon as possible.

I gave them a reasonable gap and then I saw a narrow path by my left. It was dark.

I rode into it path switching off my scooter. I pushed it down the path putting off the lights.

I looked for the darkest place where I could hide my scooter and myself. I went behind a tree and bent down behind it.

I saw the power bikes zoom off going straight down. I sighed and sat on the ground panting. That was damn close.

I need to wait so I can give them more gap. They passed the same route I was to pass home. And it’s sure that if they don’t see me they will surely trace me back.

I need to sty put. I reached for my phone in my pocket and brought it out. I needed to send a message to mum before she starts getting worried.

It’s dark already.

Mom I will be home late, I am caught in some sh*ts here.

I sent the message and I began to here some sounds close to me. I kept mute and hid my phone to avoid drawing attention by the lights.

My breathing pace increased and I began to sweat profusely. 

After some while the sound stopped and I began to hear sounds of nylon opening.

“Was I running from a rat or what?” I thought sighing. I switched on my phone Torchlight and pointed it to where the sound was coming from.

And to my surprise I saw the boy I splashed water on eating something from the garbage. I was shocked that my phone fell off my hand.

He didn’t seem to care about me, he looked so hungry and happy at the same time.

I stared at him in the dark not knowing what to think.

“Hey.” I whispered and he looked at me.

“Who is that?” He asked without fear. I guess he didn’t notice me when I pointed the lights at him.

“I am the one.” I said putting the lights close to my face and immediately he caught a glimpse of my face his eyes widened and he wanted to run off.

“Don’t go.” I said making him stop.

“This place is dangerous, what are you doing here?” He asked avoiding my face.

” I got into some big sh*t, and I needed to hide.” I said looking at him.

” Leave as soon as possible, there are rapist here.” He said walking away.

” Please wait. Can you please direct me to another path that can lead to the next street? They passed the route I should take home, and passing that place is very risky.” I said and he looked at me.

” Follow me.” He said walking away.

I quickly reached for my scooter and began to push it with me as I walked. I trailed behind him staring at him.

Why would a very handsome boy eat from the garbage? What of his parents? Why would they abandon him on the streets to suffer?

Please guys don’t let Nigerian mentality affect us, this is an American setting. Even in Nigeria this isn’t new 

Anything can happen in America, that’s why I keep saying we should watch Foreign movies.. it modifies our mentality…

3 years is even small, you haven’t seen ladies of 50 years marrying a 20 year old boy. That’s the other side for you.

Thanks..
