Theme: He just wants to be free

Arike's POV

After Bamidele disconnected the call, I sat down on the bed slowly and reached out to wipe my face clean from tears.

"Hey..what's up?" Busayomi asked.

"They can now process Dayo's bail." I answered with tears threatening to spill again.

"Ah! Thank God! He will put our enemies to shame over this case!" She danced around.

I just let the tears flow when I couldn't control it and a feeling of relief washed over me.

"Dayo would be free to go home." Those words echoed on my mind.

I was excited that we were getting close to rounding off this case. Tomorrow would be the day everything would end.

If Shalewa believe that she has everything to fight Adedayo in court and the law was in her side, I am sure she would be terrified now. She doesn't know the power of social media was the court of this decade.

We have so many lawyers and judges who didn't study law on the internet. If she has paid people to pass an unlawful verdict on this case then she should be ready to face me in Supreme Court. I don't mind going back to practice just to win this case and make her pay for her crimes. I was willing to do everything for Adedayo.

Another vibration from my phone jolted me out of deep thought. It was the number that called me from the police station - Dayo.

I stood up from the bed abruptly after picking up the call. "Dayo..are you alright?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"Yes..Yes I am fine. Arike..I am sure you have watched the video my sister posted. One of the police men here showed it to me and he said that..there are so many people outside the station protesting for my release." Excitement was so clear in his tone.

And I couldn't stop my tears from flowing again. "Yes..Yes Dayo..everyone is on your side now. Your lawyers are on their way to the station and you will be free very soon." I sniffed.

"Please don't cry..Arike I am..just really happy right now.." He stuttered.

And I could tell that he was crying too but at the same time trying to hold back his tears.

"I am going to be free." He said.

Hearing him sound like this made me happier because all I ever wanted was to see him happy.

"Arike..I don't know what I would have done..without your help." He said.

"Dayo..it is nothing..you know that I am always willing to do anything for you." I cried.

"Yes I know about that and..." his voice trailed off and I heard him sniffing over the phone.

"The good news is that my dad visited early this morning." He said finally after some seconds of silence.

"Really?" I asked and he hummed a response. "So what did he say? Does he believe you now?" I asked again.

"Yes..I guess he watched the video and listened to the recording and he believed that I didn't do most of those things Shalewa accused me of doing. My mom and dad have been asking me for forgiveness for not believing me and for neglecting me." He sobbed over the phone.
