Woman Of Color ( on hold)

18: Amira's death.

For days Simone was in the hospital, laying lifeless, only one of the passengers stood by her, for the past two days that she was admitted.

Ayo one of the passengers had run round to shop for her and also lodged in a nearby hotel.
He is 6ft, and a  son of a billionaire,
His father had given him money to go watch over his business at Adamawa, but he had decided to pocket the money instead and go for a public transport.

He was seated closely to Simone, has he gently massaged her hands, it's going to be fine, I promise you that, he said as he pecked her on the cheek.

🎶Girl your behind is a killer, I can see you sensual, see gobe, omo see gobe🎶

Hello pupsy, Ayo stiffles as he speak.
" Explain to me why you have not resumed in the Adamawa office the MD said you were not present at the yesternoon conference.

"I will be there Dad, i rescued a pregnant lady, who happened to have pass out.

And how is that my businesses, he screamed on the phone.

Ayo immediately turned his phone off, and centered his attention on lifeless Simone that was on the bed.

Dr Alabi walked in with his sethoscope,
"How is she Doctor?
Ayo asked the doctor, while placed the Diaphragm on her chest

"She will be fine, just a little bit of rest,

"Okay that's good to know.

3hrs later.

"Do you mean someone could be that mean, said Ayo

"Yes Simone said as she fell on his left shoulder in tears.
" Its okay, I am here for you

He said as he held her hands and deeply massaged her hands.

" Simone couldn't explain  that she was feeling.
"Can they ever be hope for love, after everything she had gone through, since it seemed as if love was not made for her.

At least Ayo was not bad looking at all, He is every  woman's dream,
But that doesn't have to do with Simone's choice,

All she wanted was someone to love her, and she thought she found that with Alhaji but she was wrong after all.

"What happened? Why you sobbing, Ayo asked.

" It's the death of the woman on the news, Simone Candice, Simone  said as she pointed to the TV.

" What is it with her, Ayo asked curiously.

" My Dad named me after her, She was the one we usually watch on the BBC 10 O clock news.

Simone begin to weep profusely.
"It's okay Simone, Ayo said.

The Doctor said you will be discharged this evening, So I hope You grant me the request of taking you out.

" Why not she place her soft hand on his hands.******

Somewhere in  Gwarinpa Abuja.

Tajide was furiously honking the Bus as he impatiently waited for the girls,
" Make una hurry up, anyone wei waste my time I go hurry comot for this place.

Soon, young teen girls began to rush out like a swarm of bees.
They variously entered into the car, not minding who sits or not, the whole bus was filled that some had to lap each other and stand.

Carolyn one of the girls consistently apologized to Tajide,
His side chics, the one he usually burn the passion with.

She is a young plumpy Calabar lady, everybody no the viral assumption of their ladies " Sex machine", LOL.

What would have asked what drawn such a young lady to this man.

Tajide was not bad looking anyways, he is someone God has happened to bless with Young demeanor at such an age.

He is a spontaneous no nonsense man, but quite flirty when around the opposite sex, especially at the young ones.

"Now you girls have made me late!
"Sorry sir they all said in unison.

He hurriedly drove out pass the gate.

By passing all, the avenues and junction, he headed straight to the road linking to the Area 11 district.

Without even thinking every highlife Abuja based person is heading towards BLAKE- the house if lust.

I remember that as a young boy, attending church services, in the event of hall of Blake, they will always turn whatever praise and worship songs into songs of lustful rhythm and the lyrics .
*Author*.

The young girls came down trooping out of the bus, in dresses that in no other way protrayed them as 'daughters of Jezebel'.

As they were all leaving, Tajide screamed to their hearing,

" Remember not to charge less than 150k,
And render better services, and package wella.                              

Wella>Well.

He said to them,as some of them burst into laughter likewise him also.

He hurriedly pulled Carolyn beside the bus,
" Take it easy dear,

Daddy, u don dey get jealous be that oo. ( Daddy you are getting Jealous).

Why not? It hurts to share my sweetheart with anybody.

" Then marry me now, Carolyn said.

Tajide began to burst into laughter.
'Walai' you know that you are joking, ( He said in his hausa accent).

Oga Tajide u no go kill person,
That one na for you oo.

He began to squeeze her breast and caress her deeply, he pushed her on behind the bus and started kissing her.

"Person fit see us now abeg save it for later.
( Somebody can see us please save it for later )

That's not my business he continued.
Carolyn immediately  hit is hand off, you will enjoy this later,

Okay later then,
Tajide hit her on the ass as she walked away and head back into the bus.

Flashback.

Nnakwana, ka Kai ni Baki kogin, ( Good morning, take me across the river).  Amira said to the canoe paddler.

She entered the Canoe, then the man began to paddle as they got to the middle of the river.

Soon the river started to get filled up with water,
" You should have told me the boat was leaking, she shouted at him in her dialect.

The Canoe man try to paddle fast as he can, but they both Sink deep into the 15 ft river.

The Canoe man dives his way full in to find Amira, but unfortunately couldn't find her.

An hour later.
It took the help of all the Canoe man and some Fisherman to help draw her body out.

Amira was lifeless, now very Cold, they had hope of resusicating her She was dead.

The only thing was to tell the town crier to inform the people of Tana and get her buried.

Simone's eyes were drenched in tears as she sat opposite to Ayo in an eatery.
He constantly wiped off her tears.

" She was the only one I had as a Mother.

" I understand, just make sure you take good care of her Daughter Rukaya.

"I am sure that will make her very happy wherever she is.

"Eat your food", Ayo said to Simone.
"Thank you" she said as she blushed.
