The Life Of A Pious Woman Episode 8

Author’s POV
No matter how big or small the help you offer is, it makes a difference. It affects the lives of those you help in a positive way. But it doesn’t just affect them; it also changes you by making a positive impact on your heart.

Continued from the previous episode…

Draco – (returned to Mr Musa Babalola)My lord, It’s done!

Musa Babalola – Good… Very Good!

Draco – (walks away to give directives to the other guards)

Sandra – (Confused) Sir where is my friend?

Musa Babalola – Your friend, she’s alright. it’s fine you brought her along with you. (He wrote a check of 1million Naira and handed it over to Sandra) Here! You earn it.

Sandra – (screamed) What??.. what will I do with all of this money? And why are you giving me such amount of money. I hope my friend is alright. (She panics)

Musa Babalola – (gave a hard look) Sandra Sandra (he mentioned her name twice) You should keep shut about what I’m going to tell you. No one else must know about this (he warns her)

Sandra – (frightened) Okay sir. I promise

Musa Babalola – Hmmm… So quick to promise. That’s a quality of a desperate person. I will tell you. ‘I want to have a taste of your friend’. Now go and cash the money I gave you.

Sandra – (summons courage) This is unacceptable!. I can’t do that to my friend, I can’t betray my friend for money. I brought her here so I won’t be alone around here and from all of these I will have to leave with her at once. Now where is she?

Musa Babalola – (Face changes) Bravo!… What a good character you played in. But you’re unaware. The devil doesn’t like jokes Sandra. You’ll do as I say. (He raised his hands up and his guards took care of Sandra without the crowd noticing. They carried away from the party hall)

(Musa Babalola walked up the stairs and hits the bell to get everyone’s attention for a moment. He adjusted his clothes and looked at the crowd with pride and spoke )

Musa Babalola – To my very own supporters and friends here, I want to say a big thank you to all of you for showing up. Things wouldn’t have been better without your presence. I want everyone to enjoy themselves while I go in for while and dish out all of your package.

(The crowd hails him and clapped their hands)

Musa Babalola – (entered the room and met Naziat lying on the bed unconscious. He began to unclothe himself)

(Booom!… Gunshots)

Musa Babalola – (Hold back as he intend to lay on Naziat) What is that sound?.. (he asked himself) something is going on…

(Everyone lie down.. The shooting increased… People screaming in fear and silent at once)

Musa Babalola – (he picked up his phone and called Draco) Draco what’s going on?

Draco – My lord, we are under attack.

Musa Babalola – Who dares to interrupt my party?

(Phone hangs up due to poor connection..)

Gunman – I did!

Musa Babalola – (frightened. He stares at the face in shock) Malik Khan!

Curtains….
