Tragedy

"Perfect, Perfect, my love" Uju said in a low tone as she walked slowly towards his bed.

"I am here for you" she said again and sat on the bed.

"Uju, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Perfect asked looking scared.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh, don't say anything" she said almost in a whisper.

"I missed you Perfect, why did you leave me like that? Tell me, didn't you miss me as well" she asked calmly.

"I missed you too" he said in a low tone.

"I know you did, won't you touch me? It has been long since I saw you" she said sadly.

"I am so happy to see you, I am very sorry for everything I did to you"he said sadly.

"Forget about that Perfect, that's not why I am here" she said calmly.

"Come on Perfect, touch me, I want you to touch me" she said in a whisper.

"Yes, yes" he said in a low tone.

Perfect woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, he was surprised to see Uju in his dream.

"What sort of dream is that? Why am I dreaming of Uju after so many years?" He asked rhetorically.

"Anyway, thank goodness it is just a dream, haaa! It's not real at all, thank goodness" he said and lie down cleaning his forehead with his hand.

"You might think it is a dream but it is reality, this love we made now is the weapon I will use to destroy you, just wait and see what I will do next" Uju said as she walked towards the door.

"Collins, Collins, come and take something" Rahm called.

"Yes mother, what is it?" He ran to her smiling.

"Take this food and eat, Jane told me you haven't eaten anything since yesterday so I prepared this for you, eat it quickly before your mother returns from the market" Rahm said calmly.

"Really! Thank you very much mother, I will eat it fast" he said and collect the plate from her.

"Okay dear" she said and went inside while he ran to his room happily.

"Mother, the foodstuffs we bought is enough, it's not as if we are cooking for the world" Cassey said sadly, she feels tired.

"Alright dear,let me buy crayfish and we will go home" Debby said calmly.

"Okay" she said sadly.

"Mother, what if something happens to Collins? He is home alone with Jane and that witch might try to hurt him" she said immediately.

"You are right, no one is at home, haaaaa! Rahm will harm my son, come on, let's go home quickly, we don't have much time" Debby said .

"Yes mother, we should go home quickly but I assure you that Collins will still die no matter what,no one can save him from my clutches, no one" Cassey thought and smiled wickedly.

Collins ran out of his room screaming and vomiting.

"My stomach,my stomach, mother, mother" he screamed as he rubbed his stomach endlessly.

Meanwhile, Rahm had left the house with the other kids, she didn't bother to take take Collins along since Jane told her that her mother instructed him not to leave the house until she returns.

"Someone help me, haaaaaaaa" he said again as he rolled on the floor with foam in his mouth.

"Mother, let's go fast, we don't have much time" Cassey said as they tried to walk faster.

"Where are you running to? Did you forget something at home?" Rahm asked when she saw them running.

"Where is Collins?" Debby asked panting heavily.

"He is at home" Rahm answered calmly.

"Home? If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you, you took your daughters and left my son at home alone" Debby said as tears ran down on her cheeks.

"Erm, erm, Jane told me .....

"It's enough" Debby said as she ran towards the house.

"Mother, is anything wrong with Collins?" Jewel asked calmly.

"I don't know, let's go home" Rahm said and they returned home.

"Collins, Collins, what is wrong with you? Stand up Collins, please stand up" Debby shouted while Cassey smiled wickedly.

"Mother, what is wrong with him? Why is there foam in his mouth? Did he drink poison?" Cassey asked feeling concerned.

"What is wrong with him?" Rahm asked immediately she got there.

"It looks like he ate something poisonous,did anyone gave him something to eat?" Debby asked as she cried bitterly.

Oh! My God, hope it's not the food I gave to him? But, how is that possible? That was the same good my children and I ate, please God vindicate me on this because I don't know how it happened" Rahm thought as tears ran down on her cheeks.

"Or, did he eat the food I kept under the cupboard which was meant for the rat inside the house? No, no, it can't be, it can't be" Debby shouted as she ran inside the house like a mad person.

"Chaiiii, my God, I have killed myself ooooo. Debby, you are a fool, a very big fool" Debby shouted as she came out of the house.

"Mother, what is it? What happened?" Cassey asked sadly.

"Collins has eaten the poisoned food" Debby blurted out and sat on the floor.

"What? That's not possible, I mean why will he eat that food? He knows the food is poisoned" Cassey said disappointed.

"He would have been hungry, he didn't eat anything last night" Debby said and cried more.

"Nooooo, this is not what I want, why is my mother talking as if she don't know her son well? Why is she not accusing Rahm of killing him" Cassey thought as she became very annoyed.

"I can't do anything now, I will have to wait patiently for a better time, this is just the beginning" she said again and laughed.
