Chapter 29

"My mother and my father got married twenty six years ago. He had never loved any child like he did me, why because. I was special to him and I was born to take his place at the Benj Brothers. My father never hurt me and made sure I was safe from any possible Danger but my life wasn't like Any teenager. I joined the Benj brothers at age 8. I hated it so much because I witnessed them kill poor people, just like I saw them kill your mum" his words send me aback. He knew my mum?.

"What do you mean my mum?" I asked him calmly.

"The day your mother was be headed I was made to..." he paused and began to cry.

"I was made to poison her food but I couldn't Heza, she was crying and shivering and I was only 14 years old" he said.

"Then what?" I asked. I had begun to cry as well. "I couldn't poison her so I was made to walk on hot coal as a punishment" he said. "I'm sorry Heza, if I knew she was your mother at that time, I would have saved her" he said.

"It wasn't your fault Sufyan, Please" I immediately hugged him. He had gone through allot at that young age.

"I had to tell you all this, because I couldn't marry you knowing I knew what happened to your mother" he said.

"Sufy it wasn't your fault anything happened to my mother. It was her destiny" I managed to say. I had to try my very best to control the emotions inside of me.

"Where is this place you have brought me to?, it's actually very beautiful" I said. It looked extremely wonderful and peaceful.

"It's where I always visit whenever I come to Japan. My stepmom showed me here" He smiled as he spoke.

"I want you to know something, I love you Sufy and there is nothing in this world that can change that. That moment when I lost you to prison, I knew my feelings were true and I could not lose you" I entangled our hands together.

"I love you too" He simply said. I smiled as he caressed my cheeks with his hand.

We left for our home and I immediately Ambulated into the room and slept off. I was so tired and all I wanted was to rest. Sufy on the other hand was in his room. I slept for what lasted two hours and then woke up. I headed downstairs and found Sufy in the sitting room watching a movie "Hey What are you watching?" I asked him with a smile on my face.

"It's Life in A year, they are even just beginning" He tapped the place close to him and I sat. I faced the television as the movie began to play. Thirty minutes into the movie and I was already in tears, I couldn't believe that the poor girl had cancer. "It feels like I'm the one about to lose the one I love" I held Sufy's arm and he began to chuckle loudly.

"I'm probably sure she will not die" He said. I hope so, because seeing Isabelle in this much pain is making my heart cringe. We continued watching the movie and tears immediately filed my eyes and so as that of Sufy. He was crying endlessly.

"This is so sad" he hugged me as he cried. I was also pained but I had to laugh. He was even more dramatic than I had expected.

"You are such a baby you know right?" I said.

"And you are heartless" He said. He picked up a pillow and threw it at my face. I began to laugh even more, this dude was being overly dramatic.

"Well I'm starving, can we go eat something?" I asked him. He got up on his feet and so did I. We walked over to the kitchen and started bringing out all the utensils in other to cook.

"Lets Make Jollof rice, please?" I said and he chuckled.

"Okay, but I don't know how to cook" I bursted out laughing. I even mistakenly fell and he chuckled.

"Okay I'll cook for us today" I said.

"Okay, I can help you chop the Onions and The veggies" He said.

"That's fine by me" I said with a smile. We immediately set up to work and in not less than forty minutes. We had managed to prepare an amazing dish. I couldn't be more happier that we had managed to make ourselves a meal.

We set the dinning room and both sat in front of it. Sufy insisted on serving me and he did. We looked very happy together and I'm sure we would make the perfect couples.

"This is delicious Heza" he complimented.

"Thank you" I said with a smile.

"So how did you learn how to cook?" He asked.

"My brother..." I got cut by a call. I checked my cellphone and it was a Nigerian number. Which could only mean that my dad was the one calling me because I know I had changed my number. I immediately picked the call and the voice that blared through the phone sent chills down my spine.

"Hello Heza" It was Tariq's voice. I immediately put the phone on high speaker in other for Sufy to also listen.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I miss you, I'm sorry for all what I have put you through. I know you are in japan and that is great, do not come back to Nigeria ever again please" he said.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked in a shaky voice.

"Because I love you my sister, Sufy is a nice guy. Stay with him" Tariq said.

"Okay" I managed to say.

"And I didn't send that text message, The Benj Brothers did and I promise they won't miss a chance to kill you for destroying them the moment you arrive Nigeria" he said.

"I'll stay here" I said.

"I love you"
He said.

"I love you too Tariq" with that he cut the call.
