Successfully, she gave birth to twins, she soon forgot her pains. The nurse gave her a baby wrapped in some clothes. “Its a girl!” the nurse told her. “the other one?” Lara asked. “It was a boy.” the nurse said sadly “Was?” Lara queried. “I’m sorry…he died few minutes after delivery…” the nurse explained “Take heart.” patted her back. Lara smiled, she couldn’t cry, why would she? She hugged her baby. “I’m happy to have just her.” she whispered to the nurse. “Your family are here to see you.” the nurse told her. “Family?” Lara looked confused. Just then the door opened… “Congratulations.” they chorused Lara smiled. Family? Yes they were her new family! They brought her to the hospital, they saved her life! “Thank you sir, Madam.” “o ga oo! This baby big gan!” Jide’s mother peeped at the baby. “We didn’t have enough time to introduce ourselves earlier.” Jide’s Father smiled. “My name is Shina, this is my wife Ronke, and my son Jide.” he said quitely. “we’re from this village, kokotoro” he explained. “My name is Omolara Popoola,” Lara began. “I don’t know where I am, but I used to stay in Lagos with my husband… Before…I was kidnapped” Lara explained in a tired voice. “Kidnaped? Haaa! When? how?” Ronke shrilled. “Its a long story…” Lara shook her head. :::::::::***u**:::: Lara shut her eyes in pain, as her baby’s mouth took hold of her nip-ple. “Kpele.” Ronke said gently. Lara nodded, they were indeed a family. The family could be termed kindness itself. The food she ate, her baby’s clothing had been free, she enjoyed her stay with them for the past two weeks. “You don’t want to name your daughter ehn? You’re just calling her baby.” Ronke complained. “uhn” Lara grunted, as she rocked her baby. “That’s not how to do it.” Ronke collected the child from her, and began rocking it till it burped. “Baba Jide and I, had a discussion this morning…” Ronke shifted closer to Lara. “We’ve decided to take you back to your family.” “I suppose, you still remember your address.” - EPISODE 58 - “Thank you, but I don’t know my way out of here.” Lara explained. “Baba Jide’s friend has a car, we’ll take you when ever you are ready.” Ronke said again. “Thank you very much.” Lara was elated. The thought of going back home was enticing. “Thank you ma.” she hugged Ronke. She imagined what it would be like to be with Tony again. Tony sat on a couch, his palms supporting his forehead. Things were difficult. His house was filled with police men, SSS and what have yoy, they were brought by Deji to search the house. They still believed he had a hand in Lara’s disappearance. Perhaps because of what he did to her in the past. He’s full of regret. Tears clouded his eyes as remembered Lara’s word back then. She once told him ‘the law of karma still reigns’. That law was hunting him down. Now she disappeared when he needed her most, when he loved her with all his heart, when he… “hey! Mr Ritualist, come and open the door to your study!” Deji squealed at him. He glared at her, and she returned the look. He bit his lower lip. “Abi ko gbo ni? Didn’t you hear what she said?” Funke hissed. “Tony open the door for them.” Ifiora said quitely. He was looking frail. “Please don’t tamper with my documents, they are vital.” Tony told them as he opened the door. “Vital ko, bournvita ni! You people should search every thing jare! Who knows maybe he has some document for her kidnap.” Deji ordered the policemen. “Well, we didn’t see, and couldn’t find anything suspicious.” the policemen emerged. “Tony, where did you keep Lara’s remains?” Deji taunted him. “We’ll take you with us, till we’re done with our investigations.” one of the SSS’s said. “But officer…” Ifiora protested “Shut up! Gbe enu re soun jare!” Funke screamed at him. “please take this ritualist out of here jor! If possible arrest his parents too.” Deji told the police men. Tears streaked down Tony’s cheeks, as they handcuffed his wrists. They were about to lead him out, when the door bell rang. “I sorry oga! Oga make I come see something.”Adamu- Tony’s gateman walked in excitedly “See what?” Deji eyed him in disdain. “Hellooo…” Lara cooed as she walked in holding her baby. Jide and his parents followed her in. Everybody gaped at her in utter shock, nobody could speak or move. “Lara?” Tony’s lips quivered. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 59
