CHAPTER 90: LEAVE!

Talking of Ivana, the Silver Bugatti Veyron pulled over in the compound. Mrs Wechuli knew who it was when she slightly Pushed Mr Mukhongo off from her shoulder and took two steps back. Unfortunately for her, her son  Paul have already seen her. 

They both came out of the bugatti at the same time, since he didn't come with the driver. He was the one driving he didnt wait for the car door to be opened for him.

"Mum ,..what are you doing here? l thought we had left you back in the mansion. Why are you here this early in the morning?he asked tightening his lips and with the look that was demanding an immediate answer.

"Son, l am here to offer my condolences" she answered.

"Condolences?" Ivana and Paul asked at the same time. They took a glaze at each other, then Ivana walked towards his uncle. Leaving Paul standing there undecided.

"Ivana hunny, l am so sorry l was not near to save her. Your Aunt killed herself Ivana , l found her lying in pool of blood with a gun in her hand" he said as he hugged her, trying to control his tears.

"What? This can't be she weiled as she run faster in the house. Paul followed her behind. She climbed the stairs going straight to their bedroom but unfortunately it was locked with the tape of 'crime scene'Criscrossing the door. 

Like someone who is not believing what happened. She run towards Mish's bedroom. She had no time of knocking as she barged into her bedroom. Luckily Mish was awake, she was seated on the bed with her head on the bed's headboard. She was staring in the space with her eyes red and swollen.

"Mish tell me ....it's a lie, she is not de..ad Mish, tell me ..l want to he..ar it Mish" she struggled talking between her sobs.

"Mish noo!, this can't be!" she wailed as she pulled her into a hug. Mish didn't hug her back, she sat there like a lifeless body still staring in space. Mish talk to me,Mish she shaked her. 

Mish didn't react but said,"l want to be alone Ivana." I have looked at her, she tried to turn her face to look at her, but Mish wouldn't let her. " No Mish you need someone to talk to,to be with for emotional and physical support. Someone you are free to talk to,Mish l am here for that and to mourn my Aunt too."

"No, she paused. I don't need you Ivana, Leave me alone. I want to be alone" She said while looking at her maintaining eye contact to show her seriousness. "Leave my room!" She half yelled.

Ivana was not believing what she just heard. She thought Mish was affected by her mother's death that's why she was talking like that unknowingly. But not until she said it while looking straight to her eyes. 

"What is ..." Paul who was standing at the door of Mish's bedroom came in and gave her a peck making her stop talking. He pulled her outside, closed the door then said to her, "Give her time, she is confused right now,perhaps if yesterday you spent a quality time together she is finding it hard to believe. Let her mourn she will come around when she is okay"

"Are you forgeting l am mourning too, she is my Aunt too, l can't believe she yelled at me."

They went back to the seating room, her paid was waiting for her since she wanted to confirm if it's true what she is hearing from the workers. Like someone who has read her mind, she answered her question before even she could ask.

"It's true, Aunt Elizabeth is no more, so go back and prepare tea for the visitors"

Mr Mukhongo and Mrs Wechuli were seated outside with other visitors who have just arrived upon hearing the news in radios and television.

Ivana and Paul sat on the couch as she continued wipping on his shoulder. She didn't know what to do or believe. The investigative team arrived, they went straight to the crime scene. After one hour they left with some items sealed.

Since visitors were present and Mr Mukhongo was seating amidst them. He didn't want to show any fear that might lead to them suspecting him. He looked at Mrs Wechuli who was seating across him. They communicated through eye contact. Immediately she stood with an excuse of picking a call.

Upstairs Mish prepared herself, she wanted to be present when the autopsy on her mother's body is being performed. She slowly descended the stairs, just I'm the moment when Ivana was blaming herself.

"You hubby l can't stop blaming myself, Paul raised her head from his shoulder so that he can look at her when she speaks. "Why?" he asked.

"Maybe if l didn't ask her to search further for the documents she wouldn't have died. Maybe she killed herself out of frustrations of not finding what l was looking for. If only l had listened to you, this won't have happened hubby...

"Yes you are right Ivana, you are the cause of my mother's death. Your hell bend over finding those papers. You won't find anything because uncle didn't trust you that's the reason he had transferred all the shares to your mother inlaw. Your father wanted the company to be safeguarded with her not you. You are a fool who didn't understand that, yes! Yes Ivana you are a fool and always a fool that's why your father never left the important thing in his life to your hands." She walked downstairs and folded her hands bellow her breast and looked and Ivana and Paul.

Ivana was not believing neither his ears or eyes. Her face was flushed as she blinked back tears. She swallowed a lump that was stuck in her through the moment Mish started pointing figures at her.

"Mish how can you talk like that we are sisters and l can't push my Aunt into killing herself...
