It is 8pm, I take the car keys and I head out.

"Where are you going?" Jess asks the minute I reach the door.

"To get some air, don't wait up"
I get outside and then I tell Okafo to open the gate.

"Layler where am I taking you?" Emeka asks.

"Nowhere"
With that I get inside the Range rover and I drive off.

To be honest I do not know where exactly I am going...I drive around for at least 45 minutes till I reach an area that looks like a park.

I park on the side and take my phone and then I go to my images. I had a special folder in my phone for all the pictures I took with Andy, I was secretly his godmother.

Jane and I do not really see eye to eye so she refused to let Bauti make me godmother so me and Bauti secretly agreed.

I come across a picture that my nena took of me and Andy in my bedroom. I was wearing my grey silk pyjamas and Andy was wearing tiny blue jeans and a black shirt tucked in. I am lying flat on my bed and Andy is lying right next to me, I am smiling and Andy has his tiny fingers all over my face and he is laughing.

I look at the picture for a long time and I start to cry. Part of me really blames Bauti for what happened to Andy and part of me blames me and the majority part of me really wants to cut off Jane’s neck for lying to Bauti for four whole years.

I start the engine and start to drive around and around, a few minutes later I find myself arriving at the nuns' church.

When I walk in I realize that the whole place is covered with Christmas decorations, it is going to be Christmas in three weeks’ time, why have all these things up before then?
I walk to the front where there are a row of candles and I kneel down and then I take one from the row.

"Farewell Kido" I say then I blow the candle and I go take a seat on one of the chairs.

"Hello there" I hear a woman's voice talk to me, when I look up I see a white nun standing in front of me, I give her one look and then I keep quiet.

"His soul will only be at rest if you go back and fix things with your family" She says as she takes a seat next to me.

"Uhh?"

"Your godchild, he is with you right now"

"How do you know that I have a godchild?"

"The holy spirit told me that you were coming tonight."

"You need to go back to your own country" She continues.
I look at her for a very long time as I do not understand how she is saying all the things that she is saying and I am starting to get freaked out.

"Your godchild died for you, so that you can find your way back"

I blink for a moment and then I realize that the woman who was standing right next to me isn't there.

Bauti's POV
I wake up at noon and I head downstairs.

"Hey man, here is some tea"
I ignore Alvaro and then I search around for my car keys.

"There you go" As if he knew what I was looking for, he hands me my car keys and I grab them and head out.
I can hear Alvaro following me, so I walk a bit faster to my car and I get inside immediately. As I am about to drive off Alvaro enters the car and he fastens his seatbelt.

Really man? Okay if that is how you want to be then okay.
He keeps asking me where we are going and I keep ignoring him, honestly if I spoke my mind shit would get real.

I arrive at my house, open the car door and I do not bother to close it, I storm into the house and I find Jane and her best friend Lila sitting next to the fire place having a cup of I really do not care what.

I walk past her and her friend and I go straight to my room upstairs then I go straight to the walk in closet and I take an empty box. I walk over to Jane's side and I start to aggressively throw her belongings into the box, the jewellery and her clothes and if anything is left I will burn it.

"Dude what are you doing?" Alvaro asks while following my steps as I go to the bathroom to pack everything that belongs to Jane.

"Cleaning out the trash"

"You cannot just throw her out, y’all just lost your kid!"

"We lost our kid years ago" I simply say as I head downstairs.

Jane and I had a one night stand and she fell pregnant, my parents found out and they demanded that I take her in and live with her, my parents are Christians who believe in doing the right thing, they felt like they have failed me when they heard that I was having a child out of wedlock.

At first I actually refused and Jane was already telling people that she was going to live with me, Layler and I were having problems and when the Jane issue rouse she did not even hesitate to leave me.

She was convinced that I loved Jane and that Jane was my main chick and she felt like she was the side chick, she thought I dated her just so I could hurt her the way she hurt me when she killed our daughter.

But that was not true. Either way she left me, I pleaded with her for months to take me back yet she refused. So I took Jane in and for the first few months I resented Jane so much I started to drink excessively just so her existence would be nothing but blurry to me.

Alvaro and Layler helped me get through that phase though and when Jane gave birth, I instantly fell in love with Andy so much so that I swore to give him a loving happy home where both parents are present so ever since then I have been tolerating Jane.
I get downstairs and I walk towards the door and I throw the box out, it seems to me that Lila and Jane have zoned me out, having a flipping tea party while my son is lying in some freezer! I walk towards both of them and I grab them both and Alvaro actually helps me in taking them out of the house.

"Bautista what is wrong with you? Are you insane!?" Jane shouts as I push her out.

"You lied to me all these years, now that Andy is gone, do not call me or text me! Do not even come to the funeral!"

"You know what fine! I won't beg your dead beat murderous ass anyway!" And with that she walks to her car and she gets inside while her friend also gets in her own car.

"Oh no you don't!" I say as I pull her out of the car, I bought her that car.

"What the hell?!" She shouts again.

"I hope you have enough lies to buy a new car, Lila will take you home" And with that I lock the car and I go back into the house.

I decide to go to Andy's room and I decide that I will stay in here for a couple of days, just until the pain subsides.
