Chapter 92: Chapter 92

Yusufar climbed the staircase up with a mug in his hand and hot coffee inside it; he turned to his left hand side and facing his mother’s room. He knocked at the door, and opened the door. He met his mother packing her clothes inside a very big travelling bag, and two big bags too had been packed. She was folding the cloth inside it, looking so dull and crying.

“Why are you crying Mom?” Yusufar walked closer to her, standing beside the bed and looking at her.

“I overheard your father’s boys telling him last night that, they had carried out the task. Does that mean that Ibrahim is dead, your father had killed him?” She said with loud voice.

“Hmm! You just have to calm down, and don’t injured yourself Mom---“Yusufar said with low voice, and even him too didn’t know what to say.

“Nobody knows for now, just my mind is telling me that Ibrahim can’t die of it. It can’t just be attempt, and that is what it will be. Ibrahim won’t die!” Yusufar said with low voice.

“You know what, I just want to get out of this house. Just want to leave, maybe my head can cool!” His mother said with loud voice, and continued packing her clothes.

“Alright Ma, just calm down and believe!” Yusufar was just holding the mug and looking.

“Go and pack, so that we can go. I need to leave this house first!”

“I have packed my loads, just for me to dress up Mom!” Yusufar replied.

“Go and do that, call the driver in to come and pack the boxes out”

“Alright Mom!” Yusufar turned back and going out, sound of the door opened and closed.

One hour and some minutes later. Yusufar and his mother had dressed, and already to leave and going back to London.

Two of them got down to the living room, Strong had been there waiting for them so to take them to the airport and Somia’s uncle too was there. He was sitting on chair at the front of the television and watching news as usual.

“Let’s me have this Ma, and lets us start going!” Strong said with low voice, and wanted to collect the small bag that Yusufar’s mother was carrying with her handbag.

“And what is the mean of this, are you the driver or now our bodyguard?” She asked with loud voice and draw her hand back; Strong was just looking and didn’t say a word.

“He is the one that will drive you to airport, guard you and give you the jet to take” Somia’s uncle said from where he was sitting.

“Strong! You guys can go, and drive safety!”

“Yes Sir!” Strong said with low voice; Yusufar dropped the bag that Strong wanted to collect on the floor and going out when Yusufar too followed her.

Strong carried the bag on the floor, greeted Somia’s uncle again and going after them.

“This is good, now no any family to be fearing of or thinking maybe enemy can attack them” Somia’s uncle said to himself, crossed his leg and focusing watching the news.

Somia entered into the bathroom in the room that they were, on the tap inside the wash hand base and washing her face. Despite that they paid someone to be running an errand for them, they too were unable to sleep just going for place to another last night and taking test and some other things to different places.

Somia was a white handkerchief to clean her face, and going out. She was looking for exhausted and weak, she came out from the toilet and walking slowly.

“Sorry! I want to go home now, your house and mine. Cook food, help three of you to take clothes including Ibrahim too and some other things that we could need” Semirat said.

“Okay, that is so good!” Somia said with low voice and sat down on the chair.

“You and Nibia should go together, so to help you” Somia’s mother said.

“No problem Ma, so we able to much things and do some other thing” Nibia said with low voice.

“I have called my Personal assistant, and I called my neighbor too that she should help me to take care of Tomiwa for school and before Raheem arrives to pick him”

“So I and Nibia will able to clean the house, cook and do some other things as well” Semirat said with low voice.

“Alright! Please help me to call Ashar, explained everything to him and lets him knows that I won’t be able to come to work!” Somia said with low voice.

“Alright! I will call him, Nibia lets us start going!” Semirat said as she carried her handbag on a desk.

“Okay, bye and I will call you!” Somia said with low voice.

“Even I will call as we get home!” Semirat said, and she had Nibia going out and leaving the room.

“Lets me see the nurse, and also help you to buy pap so that you can drink before they come back” Somia said with low voice and talking to her mother. She got up, and going out.

Ashar just arrived to work and just entering the office, he was so surprised that Somia hadn’t resume but thought maybe she was late.

He put his bag down on the table and sat down on the chair, as he sat down he saw Somia’s documents that he asked for on his desk.

“Oh! Good, this guy had dropped it” He said with low voice, and opened it.

He started going through the documents and looking at them one after the other; suddenly he saw the Certificate that Somia summited. Ashar picked it up and reading it.

“University of London!” He said with loud voice as he saw it and so surprised.

“Somia finished from University of London, and lied that it’s one private University. Why could she do that-----“He was asking himself when Semirat’s call entered?

“Semirat! Hope no problem, hope nothing didn’t happen to Somia!” He said with loud voice and picked the call.

“Hello Sir! Somia is fine, but Ibrahim was shot by gun yesterday and we are in the hospital. So I called to tell you that-----“Ashar cut Semirat shut as she was talking.

“What did you said, Ibrahim was shot that same yesterday. What happened? How did it happen?” Ashar said with loud voice and he had been on his foot already.

“I can’t say all this now Sir, just called to tell you that Somia can’t come to work today” From Semirat’s voice it really showed that she had tired.

“Semirat! Semirat!! You know what, which hospital are you and I am coming right away” Ashar said with loud voiced.

“It’s this private hospital along their street, “Own Care Hospital” it’s very popular”

“I know it, I know it! And I am coming now!” Semirat hanged up from the call, put her phone inside the phone holder inside the car and started driving out from the hospital.

Ashar put his laptop back inside the laptop bag, he back it and leaving the office. He opened the door and closed it from his behind.

*********

Somia and her Mother hadn’t see Ibrahim yet, they haven’t given them the chance to see him. Still telling them he was sleeping, Somia and her mother have been curious to see Ibrahim maybe just for two minutes so that they would rest and believe that he is fine.

“Please! Can I see my son now? Just to look at him!” Somia’s mother couldn’t hold it anymore, she went back to meet the nurses.

“Ma! I can understand but your child is fine, just that we need to observe him first and even now he is sleeping!” One of the nurse said with smile on her face; Somia too was there standing beside her mother.

“You what Ma, when he wakes up I will come and call you personally. I will call you, and you can talk with him and spend time with him still you like Ma”

“Alright, thank you very much!” Somia’s mother showed her appreciation, and she and Somia turned back wanted to be going back to that room.

“Sorry Ma, Police will be here in afternoon. They can’t make it this morning again” The nurse said with loud voice.

“We have said that we don’t want police in this, they won’t anything so what is now the reason of calling them!” Somia whispered to her mother.

“Hospital just have to do their own because it’s attempted murder case, and if the police come it what we tell them that they will listen to. So don’t worry” Somia’s mother said to Somia.

“Alright Ma, thank you very!” Somia’s mother said with smile. She turned back, and she had Somia going back to the room that they were.

Twenty minutes later. The nurse that had promised to call them when Ibrahim wakes up, entered the room that Somia and her mother were. She told them that they could see him now, and leading them to the ward that Ibrahim was.

Three of them entered a room not far from where they were, the nurse draw the curtain and they saw Ibrahim laying on the bed.

“My son! My Son!!” Their mother ran to him, and wanted to hug him.

“No ma, you can’t do that as you too can see!” The nurse draw Somia’s mother back.

“Sorry! I am happy, very happy that I see you alive!” His mother shouted and Ibrahim was just smiling.

“Am sorry! Am sorry!! I am the one that cause it!” Somia said with sadness and started carrying. The nurse looked at them and going out.

“We should have listened to Mom, I shouldn’t have supported you to go that uncle. I am sorry!” Somia said with sadness, but Ibrahim was just looking.

Their mother draw plastic chair in that room closer to her, positioned it very well and sat down on it.

“I think all of you can see what I am talking about now, you children just like to be proving stubborn and thinking may I don’t know what I am saying!” Their mother said with anger.

“That is not t’s mom, but looking at the way we are living. Nobody could believe that we are children of late Yahiya Abubakar, just want our right back!” Ibrahim said with low voice.

“So what if you have die now, just tell me what if you have die. Just forget about this, my happiness is seeing three of you alive and in good health. So please just lets that man be, you too will make your own money and be rich than your father, so just let that man be---“

“I CANT LETS HIM BE, I WILL COLLECT THIS IHERITANCE FROM HIM!” Somia said with loud voice.

“I heard you Mother, but I must achieved my aim. Also with this that he did to Ibrahim, I must do my aim and collect our right from him”

“Just know how to do it, I don’t want to loss anyone of you. I don’t want to! I don’t want to!” Somia’s mother felt like crying.

“Calm down Mom, God will show me how to do-------“Ashar entered and they stopped talking.

“As Semirat called me that is how I rushed down, what happened to Ibrahim? What----“

“Nothing Sir, he is fine now!” Somia quickly said with low voice. Ashar greeted Somia’s mother and Ibrahim too.

“Can I see you please?” Ashar said with low voice to Somia, and going out. Somia looked at Ibrahim and followed Ashar. Ashar stopped walking as they got to a corner.

“Somia! You lied to me that you finished from a private University, but you finished from University of London. Semirat told me that Ibrahim shot, and now I overheard you talking that you supposed to be a CEO of your father’s company” Somia breathe out.

“Please, I want to know who you and your family are. Please Somia!” Somia looked at him.

“Please! Please!! For the sake of our love, who are you and your family?” Ashar said with low voice, and looking at Somia gently.
