Chapter 44

  AYOADE'S DEATH

  Salamat woke up to the beep of her phone. It was half-past 5 am. She opened her message box and saw that the first one was from the network provider while the second and third was from a strange number.

  She remembered what happened the night before and felt cold all of a sudden.

  She opened the message and it reads, "Salamat, thank you for today. I want to see you, there is something I must tell you and it's about Raliat. It is a matter of life and death. I would really appreciate it if we can see as soon as possible before it is too late. I will send you the address in the next message."

  Salamat was agitated. The message must be from Ayoade. She quickly jumped down from the bed and rushed to the bathroom. She eased herself, brushed her teeth, and performed ablution before going back to her room to observe her morning prayer.

  Immediately after her prayer, she rushed back to the bathroom to take her bath. By the time she was done, it was already 6:30 pm.
