Trial of a New Bride Episode 17
I surveyed the area for the last time, reached inside my black jacket and touched the pistol my brother gave me minutes earlier.
"it has only one bullet. You are not going in there to shoot anybody but i'm giving it to you because no one knows what might happen when you get there" he said as he gave me the little weapon, equally giving me a quick lesson on how to use it.
With one quick breath, I scaled the fence, wounding as barbed wires tore my trouser. But the injury was nothing compared to the wound in my heart. I pushed on, very determined to finish the task ahead.
In no time i was at the backyard. I quickly headed straight to the garden and stopped for a minute to take a look at the crime scene where the detective believed my husband was murdered. Tears instantly fell from my eyes.
"Suleiman I believe you are watching, I know you are right here. I know a murdered spirit is always at the spot where his life was taken away. Yes i believe in it. I believe in superstition. I can't do this without you. Please help me" i cried quietly, picked up myself and walked into the building with determination.
All the security lights were glaring as i made my way into the big house. But instead of being caught with the help of the lights, i was guided to the guest rooms by the same wonderful lights.
However it really wasn't easy knowing the particular room to check. I had to start from the first room downstairs, but luckily the first three rooms were locked, leaving me with no choice than to move over to the fourth room. I slowly opened the door but the room was very dark inside. I couldn't see anything.
I drew back to the corridor, closed the door and checked my recorder which was in good working condition. I smiled with satisfaction, safely tucked it back into the breast pocket of my jacket, pulled out a small touch light from my trouser and slowly walked into the room, flashing my torch light.
"wani dan'iska ke haskani ba ko sallama ?" a lady suddenly screamed from the bed, switching on the electric table lamp by her side, and revealing her face in the process.
She was no other person than Indon Kauye. The lady i came looking for. I breathed deeply, drew back, locked the door and switched on the main lights of the room which equally revealed my face to the frightened lady.
"oh sh**t, you? Lallai ma kincika mahaukaciya? You got to be kidding me" she instantly smiled on seeing my face, equally regaining all her composure as if she was sure i wouldn't do anything to her. I quickly pulled out my gun from the jacket while she scoffed on seeing it.
"oh please" she hissed, sat up on her bed, grabbed a stick of cigarette and lighted it.
"what the hell do you want?" she asked coldly.
