Episode 27 sister mary

“what? Marriage?” i asked with a shiver. Jboy nodded saying nothing. “alright, cool i don’t mind nor care. Just do whatever necessary to get me out of here” i murmured with resignation. “are you sure about it?” he asked curiously, standing up. “just get me out of here” i answered with a frown. “very well then. I have to go bring Mary. Just stay put, i’ll beg the officers to let you stay here and wait for me” he said, tapped my left shoulder and hurried out. I sighed as i watched him leave. “how on earth will i marry that old witch. Hmmm well let me get out of here first” i reasoned with an evil smile. It really was a long wait as i eagerly waited for jboy to return. Thanks to the food he brought for me. My energy returned, giving me a chance to reason very well. It took him two hours to show up, two long hours it was. My eyes lightened up with relief as i saw him walk into the room with the lady i saw with Mary the previous day. “where is Mary?” i anxiously asked Jboy who quickly shrugged, saying nothing. “i’m Mary’s elder sister. I’m here on her behalf against my wish” The pretty old lady said coldly. I breathed deeply, giving her full attention. “How could you?. Why do you guys with money think you can manipulate and defile every girl you see?. We might be poor but my sister is precious to me. Can you imagine the misery and agony you put her through with your murderous act?. She couldn’t believe her fears until she took three different tests which produced awful results. Everything is documented, we have given the police a copy, i guess you need yours” she poured out, fetching an envelope from her handbag. “madam please calm down. I know i erred but she shouldn’t have involved the police. We are lovers, planning to get married” i pleaded solemnly, but my plea infuriated her more. “shut up. Don’t just go there. If you guys are about getting married, why drug and kill the baby she’s carrying. A gift from God. A terrible sin in the eyes of God and Man, oh you will burn in hell” she shouted angrily, while Jboy cleverly held her hand, begging her to calm down. “remember what we discussed with Mary earlier?. My friend is willing to proceed with the marriage formalities as soon as possible. Mary also agreed to drop the case because of it. Please let’s forget the past and do the right thing” Jboy pleaded. “i don’t just know what came over Mary to give her consent to this rubbish marriage thing. Well let’s go meet the officer incharge of the case” she hissed, eyed me and left with Jboy who happily winked at me as they left. I murmured quick prayers. “at last. Thank you God” i breathed. I couldn’t wait to get out of my nightmare. Jboy showed up moments later with a smile on his face. “the case has been closed, but the A.S.P wants to see you” he said happily. I breathed deeply, so happy and relieved. I quickly stood up and shook his hand. “Thank’s for everything” i said with deep happiness. Mary’s sister showed up that moment with her usual cold look. “i guess you are happy huh?. You still have God’s wrath to face. I’m leaving” she said with a dry hiss and turned to leave. I gently approached her. A mark of remorse on my face. “i’ll come over to see Mary as soon as i leave this place. I have to atone for my sins. Thank you for setting me free” i poured out like an innocent child. She eyed me, breathed deeply and left the room. “good show bro. Now let’s go see the officer” Jboy said with a happy smile. I nodded and followed him to the A.s.p’s office. The level of my happiness that moment was clearly enormous. “sit down gentlemen” A.s.p Tunde murmured seriously as we walked into his office. His mood dark and heavy. I couldn’t imagine what was wrong with him. “i hope you are not thinking of leaving here today?” he asked me curiously. I stared back at him, unable to say anything. Jboy was equally as surprised as i was. “it’s glad to know that you have finally convinced your girlfriend to drop the case. But remember i still have the test results and as an officer of the law i have every right to carry on with the case, even if Mary objects. The crime you commited wasn’t only against Mary but against the state. Abortion is illegal and often treated as a murder case. So my friend you know what you are up to” the annoying officer addressed us intelligently. I felt like exploding. I was extremely fed up.
