ROYAL GAMES

49: Justice

Five months later.......

"with all the evidences presented before the court, the court finds Hajiya Bilkisu guilty as charged and is here by sentenced to forty years in prison with hard labor. As for Muhaisin Ardo, he has been sentenced to ten years in prison for being an accomplice. Habib who already has a pending time to serve and decided to go against the order of the authority is sentenced to twenty five years in prison and is to pay a fine of ten million Naira. Courrrtttttttttt". The judge hit the gravel and left the court room.

"We've finally gotten Justice baby". Ihfan muttered to her baby, her hand placed securely on her stomach. She used her other hand to clean the tears that dropped.

She had blamed her husband's death on them even though the doctor has said he died because it was his time and not because of any complications or whatsoever but she heard none of it. Now that she is happy, she gets to see them pay for all their wrong doings. Something that has been going on for five months now.

A hand was placed on her shoulders and she turned to see Nawal standing and Asmau behind her. They both sat on her sides seeing as she wasn't ready to stand up. Everyone is already leaving the Court room.

"How are you feeling. Everything has come to an end now". Nawal asked her".

"Better than I was yesterday. I'm sure now he'll rest In peace". She said before they turned to find a seething hajiya Bilkisu being dragged out with her screaming on top of her lungs about how they've not seen the last of her. That was the last of their concerns.

"Let's get out of here, her presence makes me sick". Ihfan said and they nodded. They stood up and walked out and saw Jabbar standing with a handcuffed Muhaisin.

"I told you, you'll pay for everything". Jabbar said glaring at Muhaisin.

"You shouldn't have this much anger in you towards me. You know I'm not that bad. The only thing I did was for the woman I love. Why do you get to have everything good, the throne and Nawal. You're not even Royal". He said calmly but the anger wasn't hard to miss.

"That isn't enough excuse. You could have chosen to be a better person instead of listening to her".

"She's my mother. Who only wants the best for her sons so how do you expect me not to not listen to her But I don't expect you to understand, you don't have a mother". There, he has hit a soft spot and he didn't miss the shift in Jabbar's expression. Jabbar fisted his hand controlling himself before he could do anything.

"Don't let him get into your head"
A voice said and jabbar turned to find jamil looking at him before he turned to glare at Muhaisin.

Muhaisin scoffed.

"My only fault was loving her and I'll do it again if I have to just so you know. I only regret one thing thou that Jamal had to die after finding out like that. He left without an explanation".

"Don't act like you both aren't behind his death". Jabbar accused.

"I won't argue with you. We've never gotten along to begin with so saying anything to you is pointless. Good bye". He moved away with the police men following him while jabbar stared at him.

"Let's go, they are waiting for us". Jamil placed his hands on jabbar's shoulder before bringing it back down. He nodded and together they made their way to where the ladies stood.

"What was he saying?". Asmau asked once they were in front of them.

"Nothing we should be concerned about". Jamil replied.

"Let's go. It's almost time for my flight". Ihfan reminded them. Truthfully some of them have forgotten about her flight because they didn't want her to go.
