buried under the rocks of lies (episode 18)


Derinde: are you surprised to see me
Me: please derin let me go, I never offended you.
Derinde: you never offended me (she asked angrily)
Me: I never offended you derinde
Derinde: you did (she said angrily but I could see traces of tears I her eyes) you told me that between you and David there was nothing and for once I thought I could date such a good man like him and live a good live with him, but you (she pointed at me and I could see the anger in her eyes ) you went and had a relationship with him and now you are about to marry him but you were only friends before when I wanted to have him but you seized that opportunity and became his lover
Me: derinde I do love David but I wasn’t sure of what I was feeling then
Derinde: so you used the opportunity to understand what you were feeling at my own disposal
Me: derinde I and David were always made for each other
Derinde: but I could have been right where you are, about to be wedded
Me: (in tears) derinde your own man will surely come for you
Derinde: but I don’t want any other man except for David (she shouted at me and I shifted back scared, derinde stood up and brought out a gun from her bag and pointed the gun to me)
Me: (I became greatly scared) pls..derinde…I beg of you… (I stammered out in fear)
Derinde: if I can’t have David then neither can you (she said as held the gun tightly and pointed it to my head)
Me: please derinde don’t kill me, you don’t have to do this
Derinde: you know what you are right, I don’t have to shoot (she said and heaved a sigh of peace as she retracted her gun) I will make sure that you die a horrible death, your body will be unrecognizable. That’s what I will do
Me: please derinde (I pleaded with tears)
Derinde: lion, jumbo take her (she said to the men as she walked out and they came to release me from the pole and led me out and into the same car, I continued pleading with derinde to have mercy on me and to spare my life but she ignored me as she drove the car until we got to the end of the road and all the men got down leaving me strapped and handcuffed to the car seat, derinde kept the car on and she came out) goodbye tumininu (she said and it was then that I figured out that she wanted the car to go off the road with me inside, she slowly removed her leg from the brake pedal and she left the car which began moving to the edge of the end of the road, I panicked and tried to get myself loose but it was of no use but I still continued to get myself loose and I did but then I looked forward and saw that the car had gotten to the fall and it moved forward and I was thrown forward and I hit myself on the front, my head hit the steering wheel in front, I became weak as I was bleeding from my head, I shared gunshots been fired and at the same time the car fell off the cliff but suddenly it stopped midway in the hair as if something caught it from falling, the gunshots reduced, as I tried to get up from where I was considering that I could hear cracking sounds of the glass that I was resting on, I quickly tried to get up which I did before the glass broke and I held on tightly to the driver's seat and the seat belt as I clung and held tightly for my dear life)
I was still clinging to the seat when the car was attempted to be pulled up but as the car shook it felt as if it was going to throw me off so I screamed out that I was going to fall, I looked up and saw David with a rope tied to his waist and his brother beside him, I knew the who was who, David lowered himself and stretched out his hand for me to hold but I could not because I used both my hands to hold on to the seat and I feared that i may loose my hold and fall.
David: Tumi hold my hand
Me: I can’t David, l will fall.
David: ok hang on, I will come to you (he looked up to his brother) Daniel let the rope down (he said as he lowered down to my side and held me and I let go of the seat after I was assured that David was holding me and I clunged tightly to my fiancee body, the rope was pulled up pulling us up, when we finally got up, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing but there was a crowd of people out there, there were police cans there, I saw derinde’s men all injured being dragged to the police van, I also saw deride been led to another van with her hands in cuffs, I could tell that she was shot on her leg as she was limping, David came to me and I hugged him tightly and wept on his shoulders, I was so close to death, was this how people died, oh I could not help but thank God that I was alive. David spoke to me but I was still in shock that I could not hear him or reply him, an ambulance arrived from the state emergency service and two nurses came down with a stretcher and came to us, I was lifted and placed on the stretcher and taken to the ambulance, David followed us in. I was given first aid in the ambulance and an injection was given on me that made me feel sleepy and I closed my eyes to rest and woke up in an hospital bed with my mother beside me, I felt less pain now in fact I felt relieved and well)
David’s mum(now my mother): I am happy that you are awake my child (she said as she placed her palm on my forehead and smiled to me, it was then that I noticed that I had a bandage wrapped on my head)
