Chapter Thirty Seven.

Dasuki State.

2022.

Nabeel looked at Bello back to hajiya whose mouth was sealed with a tape, hands and legs tied to a chair.

He heaved a sigh mixed with uncertainty, he has wanted revenge so badly but now something keeps telling him that what he is doing is wrong.

"So, you mean the Yabo's are likely to hit bankruptcy?" Nabeel asked, shoving his thoughts aside. He is just giving them what they deserve.

"Not likely I'm sure they've reached bankruptcy already." Zakir replied lightening a cigarette in his hand. "Antonio, a member of a group I'm in went to Russia to smooth out the theft."

"Now what?" Nabeel asked.

"Now we give them a cruel death,"Zakir replied puffing the smoke from his mouth to the air.

"No, we are doing no such thing. My dad has evidence against them, we should send them to court."

"Court?" Zakir mocked. " Yeah, but I'll be the court for this woman." he pointed towards hajiya.

He walked near her and removed the tape from her mouth. He pushed the chair to the ground with his leg and she fell off releasing a scream.

"Please, let me go..." She didn't finish when Zakir Matched her forehead with his shoe.

"Shut up, so you know how to beg? But you suffocated someone to death. Touchè. Why didn't you just kill her with an instant poison?" Zakir asked while hajiya wailed in pain "Why suffocation? A painful death. Why?!"

She kept shouting till Nabeel dragged Zakir away from her. Her forehead was already bruised and bleeding.

"Zakir stop this." Nabeel said as he pushed her chair back up. " We are taking all of them to court and they'll serve their punishment. Okay?"

"Why? I came to Nigeria to personally punish this woman. I promised myself  that whenever i had the chance to I'll look for my aunt wherever she is on this earth and keep her by my side but this motherfucker." He referred to hajiya. "After everything her husband did, she thought it was okay to just kill her like some cheap skate?"

"I understand how furious you are but not as much as me, she was my mother. But I don't want us to have blood on our hands."

Zakir laughed again tossing the cigarette away.

“Blood you say, my hands have seen more blood that even my vein has seen."

"Zakir, this is my fight. Thanks for your help but let me deal with it the way i see fit. We can punish them, torture them but not death, we are not going to kill anyone please. If we kill them what's the difference between them and us?"

Zakir looked at him for some minutes before he spoke.

"I don't fucking care if there's a difference between us or not," He sighed, a surrendered one. "Fine. If your country gives them a befitting punishment especially this woman then i won't do anything but if they don't get what they deserve I promise you. I, myself don't know what I'll do to that man and this woman. Before the court session begins I'll bring him here too and make him soft together with his wife."

Nabeel laughed. Soft? Za su ci ubansu kenan.

Nabeel walked out and he could hear Hajiya shouting. He tortured bello but he couldn't bring himself to do anything to hajiya even though she's the cause of his mother's death, she's a woman, someone's mother.

He is enjoying the screaming but he can't do it, raise a hand to a mother. No!

But Zakir is blinded by anger and vengeance l.
