DON'T CRIPPLE MY WINGS

Chapter eight

The bodyguard

Aliya
The Villa, that's the location in here sir...I stuttered

Yes, that is your new recruitment location; all you are expected to do is to guard the senator's son....I mean be his bodyguard that is what you are expected to; he will be back from the UK next tomorrow so get prepared to be at the Villa by tomorrow.

Ok sir, I saluted and left his office...I was still wondering why I was recruited as a bodyguard... despite my skills of training and my years of experience I should be serving the nation and not just a common personnel.

Aliya, Abass called me and waved to me he stood up walking to my direction.

Abass is tall,has broad chest and sensible we became closed during the university days and when we went camping in Cameroon....the journey started with Abass and Mariann...we had alot of memories and the recruitment is now taking people to a different direction although we will still be back for the last three month because the recruitment is a 9 months duration.

Aliya, Mariann said your location have been changed where did it change to he asked?

I handed him the letter and he checked staring at me in wonder

"But why na" why will they send you as a bodyguard to the Villa..

No no, it's so unfair...despite your years of experience and training

I don't know if I should break into sadness or joy, it's so complicated life hasn't really be fair during my years of training

Being a military personnel and a doctor was hard achieving,, how come I am being send as a common bodyguard to the Villa I thought..

Aliya, we have to talk to the Commander, perhaps the general about it ... something must have been wrong somewhere he said.

Just let it be Abass, there is nothing we can do about it

Hmmm ...He heaved a heavy sigh

I will see you later, I said and left... heading to the dormitory.

*****************************************

Aliya you must have been so sad you were recruited to the Villa as a bodyguard.

No uncle

The commander told me your expression, it's obvious ... uncle said calmly

Just that, I never expected it... even the least trainee at the academy wouldn't be opted as just a common bodyguard

Well, I know....I personally spoke to the Commander to had your location changed

"What"? Why? I queried

Aliya, it's high time for pay-back he said

I tried assimilating the phrase he used, then he continued

Alhaji jega is the senator....his child is the one you will be seeing

So what did the elders say, if you want to get hold of a cat plant a rat in front of it's

So ...this implies the person I submitted a letter to was alhaji jega, this must be a blessing in disguise I muttered

Aliya, I trust you more than my own self....you only have to prove that nobody is above the law and bring down the culprit...for justice must prevail he stated.

I was so eager to be in the Villa ...I arrange my stuffs and headed straight to the Villa as the senator's son bodyguard.
