I recklessly drive to the place.
I saw a black Mercedes Benz following Mama's car.
The car overtakes Mama's car.
I heard a screeching sound of the car block Mama's car.





Two people saunter out of the car with masks on their faces, they have guns inside their pockets.
I quickly Saunter out of the car.
I tiptoe to the place. I have already called the police.
Who are you? Please let me go. Mama pleads.





Hajiya, don't worry. Your Son sent us to look after you.
We won't harm you.
One of them muttered.
Hajiya, don't follow them.
Abdul, trust me. He won't send anyone to take you home. Ishaq muttered.





Who are you to interfere? One of them yells at Ishaq.
I'm her husband's chauffeur. Ishaq yelled back.
Hajiya, let's go. Ishaq muttered.
He grabbed Mama's hand and began to walk to the car.
The person behind the mask takes out his gun.
My eyes become wide at the sight.





Ishaq, I hollered.
Ishaq whirled around and pushed Mama.
The bullet hit him on his shoulder.
I rush there and pick Mama up.
Abdul, he is the one. Mama muttered and conked out.
Mama, I shake her vigorously.
I take Mama inside the car.
Ishaq, wait for me here with Mama. I muttered.





No, Abdul. Please don't follow them.
They have weapons and you don't.
They might harm you. Ishaq muttered.
Ishaq, why should I stop?
This is the second time I have caught this person trying to harm my mom and he always goes Scott-free. I muttered.





Abdul, they will still come back to harm her.
We can take action.
Your mother seems to have seen the person.
You can ask her who the person is when she is conscious. Ishaq muttered.
I nod my head.





I called Aisha and she didn't pick up.
Sir, I can drive.
I'm shot on my left arm not right. Ishaq muttered.
Okay, I muttered.
I take Mama to my car and zoom out of the place.





Qalb, what is wrong with Mama? Aisha muttered immediately I walked in with Mama.
Abbah, walk to us.
I take her to the couch and lie her down.
I take a bottle of water on the table and sprinkle it on her.





She flutters her eyes open.
Mama, who is he? I ask her.
Abdul, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Mama muttered.
Do you know who wants to harm you? I ask her.
Abdul, I couldn't see his face properly.
He is dark and has a beard with a scar on his neck. Mama muttered.





Abdul, your mother needs to rest.
Salma, please take her to her bedroom. Abbah muttered.
No, Abbah I will take her to her room. I muttered.
I take Mama to her bedroom.
Aisha and Abbah trail behind us.
I lye her down on the bed.





Abdul, what have I done that someone is after my life?
First, it was Rabi, now an unknown person. Mama cried.
Ishaq walks in.
His wound has been treated.
Sorry, Ishaq. Thank you for saving my wife.
I will reward you for that. Abbah muttered.





No, Alhaji. It is my responsibility to take care of your family. I have been working for you for 15 years.
Alhaji, I just need your blessings. Ishaq muttered with a smile.
Abdul, what if that person knows you?
Since he lied to us that you sent him. Ishaq muttered.





Abdul, almost everyone knows you to be Alhaji Ibrahim's Son.
Alhaji is well known.
So someone might be after your family. Ishaq muttered.
Qalb, Ishaq is right.
You may not know some people but they know everything about you.
Qalb, we need to be more careful. Aisha muttered.
