Zara

Chapter 19:Iron

Moh's POV
To say I've missed her is a vague expression of what I feel,I still can't believe that I feel so lonely,the loneliness is still draining me out, I feel like I'm been punished and my life has lost all its charm. I miss her presence, her mouthiness, her unending stories about everything and nothing , infact I miss everything about her, especially how she launch insults on Ladidi Kangiwa,how she becomes outraged whenever she talks of her, I know for sure Ladidi Kangiwa would have been a late by now, that is if Zara had got the opportunity to catch a glimpse of her, Zara's second to the last wish is to meet Ladi, to wring her obtuse existence of a neck, to seize her imbecilic life painfully, to punish her for her atrocious act... The last wish being getting back at who ever points a finger at her(Zara).

Thinking about Ladidi still stabs my heart, I can feel it bleeding, squeezing in bitter agony, I lost my dear ones to her, yet she is still out adamantly hunting me,

"The dept will be paid Muhammad, I don't know how, but I promise to make you see your happy life burn suddenly into ashes. "

I don't know what to do with her outing excuse of a life, Baba had been trying to know of her whereabouts but it appears as if she now lives in another planet rather than Earth. I see no reason why he will bother himself seeking for her though , she can't run away from the day of reckoning, Allah won't let her go Scott free.

"It's seems you are a hell bent on ignoring me. "

I eyed her before I sighed.
"You gave me no option Zara, do you think it pleases me when I give you cold shoulders? When I ignore your presence even though you can never be absent, have you idea how life becomes unbearable when you don't escort me to the river side? when you leave me all alone with my food?when you don't recite the holy Qur'an after me? I wonder why I keep being fond of you, even when you do nothing but bite my head off, Everything becomes sour without you, I fear our bond Zara, I don't know what actually you've done to me, Nevertheless, I can't close my eyes to your wrong doings, everybody talks about you in this village and not in a way close to good, I've warned you several times on stealing, what's the hell there in asking me for fifty Naira?why do you have to steal for Allah's sake? Marwa's step mother came here yesterday, she complained you set one of her sheep free and slaughtered her chicken,you go here and there verbal beating people, I can't take it, it's either you change or there will be no more Muhammad and Zara. "

"I'm sorry, deeply sorry, please forgive me Ya Moh, Insha Allah I will remain the good girl I am, and about Marwa's step mother she caused it, she insulted me to the bastard level yesterday she even went further to mention my late mother, I couldn't take it Ya Moh, so I did what I thought was right, but please forgive me it will never happen insha Allah. "

"An eye for an eye would have turned the whole world blind, we need to be patient, believe me Zara. "

"Well, It's Okay Zara, I've forgiven you,please try and change your ways before it's too late for you."

"Huh,Thank you Watana, you can't do without me I'm telling you, you know... my existence kinda makes your life so interesting,and if you ever decide on ignoring my life even for an hour again ,Hmmm I won't relent on punishing you.

"Zara,Zara you are always yapping, always.So you can punish me?

"Of course Mr"

"In what way?"

"Well, anyway possible, I never fail to seize opportunities, Never, just bet me and see, Beebee spares no one,herself inclusive. " She threatened me with a smirk.

"I dare you my Tigress" I challanged her even though deep down I was scared to hell, Zara's mind is brimful of peril, everyone must be cautious of her danger.
