Chapter 130 Sub 16

Searching for answers!

Four days on,

I was granted bail. I paid an enormous amount to let me out even with my evidence, Tiana had nothing against me. She canceled every charges pressed against and that reason was undoubtedly a trick. 

  "Safe return Cub, i hope not to see your ass around here; you might not stand chance!" The taunting cop jilted with a smile, i stopped to look at him. I first, gave a daunting stare. I felt like throwing act punch at his face to pluck out his teeth, i haven't been wirking out for nothing. His skinny body could never compare to what was before him, i snapped out of my ferocious thoughts.

  "Do your ass some favor of not spitting shit, 'coz if i ever see you at the mall, the gas station, the pavement or at your pen; i'd make sure you don't see daylight. That's some warning to your ass, dog!" I stated sternly. He was silent. The automated gates opened as i made two steps out of the premises, i heard the gates lock up again. I inhaled the cold air then breathed out in content. "Time to fix your mess, Kareem!" I whispered to myself. A black latest model Tesla pulled over before me, i didn't have to be told that this was my Father's ride. I rolled my eyes swiftly while my hands were pocketed. The driver's glass was winded down, i sighted my father and mother sitting abreast in eloquence.

  "Hop in!" Father instructed. I wanted to say a word but i bashed that thought. I entered the passenger's as we sped away in seconds.

Father adjusted the rear to have a better view of his son, I was ready to answer any question.

  "Start talking!" Mother ordered sternly

  "Ok! But you could at least ask a question, Mama!" I stated not disrespectfully

  "Danni? Is this foolish boy still asking more questions against yours?" Father was retarded. He pulled over at a serene area. We all got out of the car then i stood before them. Mother leaned on the car wearing a versace shades dressed in a leather skinny pants and jacket while father stood next to her dressed in black jeans trouser and black leather coat. They were stunning but their faces said the opposite. I sighed to talk.

  "Dad! Mom! I'm truly sorry for what y'all saw..." I began

  "You should tell us in details...i really don't know what your apologies are meant for right now!" Mother cringed. Mother could be unbelievable sometimes, for real. I braced up, that's exactly what they preferred. Confidence.

  "I..I.." I halted, i was confused at a snap. "Tiana and i met a long time ago. We were...we just...we had nothing serious going on...it was just flings! I..I had no idea that she'd return for some reasons..." I stopped. They were smirking and that got me more uncomfortable, i knew that anything could happen. "Im really sorry that y'all had to go through this..."

Father added a few inches before me. He cupped my face with a frown then he smirked again, he looked away swiftly then turned to me while my heart was fidgeting and my eyes were fixated on his. He threw a punch to my side. I quivered in pain, i did not see that coming, not a punch. He jerked me by the collar to look him in the eye, i couldn't but i was forced to. He threw a slap to my face again, i almost fell to the ground, holding both my face and side. He refrained cracking his bones, he turned away while mother came forth. I assumed that she wanted to feel my face or help me stand erect but no, she cupped my face and landed a slap to the other side of my cheek with the back of her hand that was studded with rings, i almost found myself on the ground, i bled in accordance. This is brutal, i muttered.

  "How do you feel right now, can you describe the pain you feel, Kareem?" Mother cautioned. I was deeply pained at this, they were getting old but still full of life. Their fists were like metals that can not be melted. I wiped off the blood with the back of my hand instead and tried to maintained a better composure. "After everything we've been through, you turn out this way Kareem? Why are you so despicable?" She questioned angrily, I was hurt by her words.

  "Babe you know what, its pointless asking his ass questions that he could never answer; very pointless. You knew that this girl is a threat to you and your marriage then why let her stay?! Can you afford a wife and a baby mama under one room?" Father yelled "I know very well that I've done crazy shit but not this...not a baby mama..C'mon kareem, we're better than this!" Father blurted out

  "Would he ever understand or not? First, he lied about Gia not having a baby that he wasn't ready just yet. Secondly, he hid the truth from all of us. He lied about Tiana who has got a child for him, she was his slut..." Mother cautioned. They both stared at me.

  "...Mom, was! Not anymore!" I was defensive, silence was never an option to me "We had a few crazy nights but that was before i got married to Gia, I had no idea that she had my child. I never knew that she was Gianna's friend not until she stepped into my house!"

  "Did you do anything? Did you tell your wife about her?" Father asked

  "I was gonna tell her..."

  "When?" He snapped. "Boy! You have no idea the shit you've gotten us--- you into. That same girl accused you of rape and murder, you spent 4 nights in jail when you should be beside your sick wife all in the name of 'I was gonna tell her...' That's stupid and foolish Kareem, i'm totally disappointed in you." Father quarrelled. He turned away. We were all silent for 5 seconds as mother interrupted hastily.

  "That moment you decided to sleep around for pleasure was the very moment you destroyed your beautiful life, Kareem. We warned you about such women you had no idea about but you felt too grown to listen and now look at you, under parole! A low life from nowhere comes into your perfect life and destroys it, you always had a chance to tell me or your father but no one knew about your scandal, not even your wife...." Mother cautioned almost calmly

  "I thought i could handle it...i thought i.had it under control and besides i wanted to tell dad before the incidence at my house. I'm sorry!" I calmly stated

  "No you're not, you ain't! I'm not mad at the fact that you have a child through another woman, I'm mad at the fact that you couldn't get your shit together...you couldn't fight for your marriage...you couldn't put Tiana in her place. You basically let her ruin you and that's what you get for being a Fling Artist!!!" She added.

  "Babe, Fling artist? What's that?" Father asked unconsciously

  "Damn you, Jamal, what do you call a young wealthy bachelor who gets between the hips of a woman for pleasure and gets her paid in millions?" Mother explained. What on earth is that suppose to mean, i asked myself. "Are you guilty?"

  "Danni you're ridiculous, is that even necessary right now? We should scold him not define his past or accuse me too!" Father stated seriously.

  "Oh really?! Have you ever told him the repercussion of his absurd actions? Hmm?" She asked with sarcasm

  "Damn you too, Danni! You had the chance to caution him so why didn't you?!" He asked her.

They continued arguing while i stood there languishing in pain from the previous punches and slaps. I interrupted instantly because I was fed up.

  "Please Mom, dad, can you bother stop arguing; it's not helping. I made the mistakes and I'm sorry for everything I've done!" I apologized

  "You must be excited your mother accuses me of your shenanigans, bravo son!" Father blurted. He was pissed to the brim

  "And I'm sorry for that! What can i do to fix it?" I demanded

  "Can you also fix the roaming clip online? You spoke perfectly in favor of men but what about you, who's fixing you?" Mother asked and that was sensitive.

  "Babe?" Father turned for her, she seemed to be the villain now. My parents can be dramatic.

  "Don't start that shit, Jamal. Don't play a saint!" She defiantly replied. She turned to me finally "Kareem, you've made a mess out there and amongst us so you'd wipe off the stenches too!" She clarified

  "Was that the reason why y'all ignored me while in jail?" I blurted

  "For the fact that we took good care of Gia and pulled up at the prison to grant your ass some mercy is enough pardon, right or wrong?!" Father stated. Right! I didn't have to ask when i knew the reasons. "You'd take responsibility for the child she's got and then face the media to explain your folly and defend your scandal and lastly save your marriage that's hanging on the cliff. Got that?" 

  "Right!" I snapped. They had the power to undo media interviews about the false claims that Tiana had imposed and the trending video of activism but they fell on deaf ears this time. Why would i tell the media when they eventually ask about the child, the rape and attempted murder claims and even the video? I rubbed my hair lightly. "But Dad, could you at least..." I tried to coax

  "...You are a grown ass man, Kareem, fix it. I wasn't there when you screwed her or them?!" He added. This is inhumane. They headed to the car.

  "Really? Dad, you don't have to talk to me in that manner! I'm not a child!" I was defensive

  "That's exactly what we're talking about, let the grown man that you are, fix it up!" Mother added in accordance to what father has said. 

I attempted to reach for the door but they locked the doors and sped away, i couldn't forgive them for that.

I just got out of prison and this was the least they could do, leave me on the high way that was miles away from my house?! I was frustrated. The hunger, fatigue and soreness was still freshly baked to ovecome. I walked a few inches then luckily got a cab, it was hard to explain my present situation of not having some cash at hand and that the only way i could offset him was to wire his payment after a long drive to the hospital. All i wanted was to hug Gianna.

An hour later,

I headed to Gia's word but unfortunately, she was not there. I hurried to the doctor's office.

  "Doc, where's my wife? I can't find her!" I asked without pleasantries.

  "Oh there! Congratulations, your wife has been discharged. She was sent home as early 9am." He explained

  "Oh uhm...i had no idea! Is she fine now?"

  "Very strong! I told you that her chances were extreme, better than i had projected!" He added with a friendly smile. I forced a grin.

  "What more can i say? Thanks a lot, Doctor Phil!" I stretched my hand for a handshake, he affirmed to it.

  "Anytime! Once again, sorry for what happened...the prison and all that...you must be worn out! Take a rest, my friend!" He advised them walked away. I stormed out through the exit, i stopped a cab again to get home.

Just a few hours of my release, a lot seemed to be happening without a stop, everything seemed too demanding a lot of energy from me.  My parents were absolutely right about me handling my problems and not them, plus, caring for a child that wasn't Gia's would require a million stars to explain. Nothing mattered to me like meeting with the only person that wouldn't judge me too fast.
