CHAPTER 229

" No mama! I think maybe it is your spirit of comparison that pretended to be Ruth. I do not really think that Ruth would ever want to do this to someone. I really think that something is wrong somewhere" said Martin who did not seem convinvcable with the fact that Evelyn was accusing Ruth. 

" I knew that you wouldn't believe but side with that wife of yours, ex-wife for a fact. Why? Do you think that your own grandma would actually ever lie to you?" Asked Evelyn feeling a little bit sad. 

" That is not what I am trying to mean grandma.  I have know Ruth half of my own life. She wouldn't even hurt a fly. I am just surprised. Let me go to my room grandma. I will tell you what I plan to do to Ruth in a short while" said Martin who left the living room very dissapointed. 

He still kept asking himself the main reason as to why Ruth had done like that to his own grandma whom he had waited for a long period of time. After a short while of thinking, Martin came to a conclusion that Evelyn might had done something to provoke Ruth. He felt that Ruth was so innocent to even hurt a fly. 

He decided to go back to the living room to have a one last conversation with Evelyn before he made his decision on the kind of decision. 

" Grandma! What did you do to provoke Ruth?" Martin asked Evelyn in a very serious tone. 

" What do you think I could have done Martin?  What if today you are wrong and I am right? I am in alot of pain because of this. I regret even coming back to this earth. I don't know what I should do" said Evelyn who kept shouting and screaming in pain. 

" Grandma! I have heard that the only present witchdoctor is found at Mambo town. I will now have to go and try my best. I just do not really have any choice" said said Martin who immediately left as Akeshia who was busy making sure that Evelyn does not sweat alot. 

Following Martin, she entered the car as soon as Martin entered entered the car and started off the engine. Martin realized that Akeshia had followed him and stopped himself from starting the engine. 

" What are you doing here mama? You should be inside the mansion taking care of my grandma" said Martin who signalled to Akeshia to go back to the house. 

" I will not be going back to the mansion till I find the medicine that will cure my mama. Martin! I know my mother is a bad person but yet she is my mother. I just got her and I cannot allow myself to see her far away from me" said Akeshia feeling a little bit sad. 

" She is my grandma too and I am gonna do everything to make sure that she gets healed" said Martin as he suddenly started the engine and drove faster out of the closer gates. 

Martin increased the kilometeres per hour of the car till he suddenly was almost to get into an accident. There was no way that he could allow himself to be late from saving his own grandmother.

Both Akeshia and Martin arrived at Mambo town after five minutes which shocked everyone. They found out that the guards were still guarding at the boundary of Mambo town who refused for Martin to enter. 

" You have never been seen at Mambo town before. Please tell us what you exactly want from this town since you are clearly seen as an outsider" said one of the guards in a commanding voice. 

" I am looking for a witchdoctor. My grandma is seriously ill and needs the power of a witchdoctor to heal her" said Martin as he shed tears of sadness from his eyes. 

" Witchdoctor! Mambo town's only witchdoctor who cures even the toughest diseases left our town and came to Olam town to search for a lady by the name Ruth Bora. Since then, we have never seen her nor heard from her" said the guard. 

" What is the name of this lady that you are speaking about?" Asked Martin a little bit curious. 

" The lady's name is Nelly Mariana. She is the only little girl of the Mariana's who took after her mama by becoming a witchdoctor " said one of the guards. 

Martin did not wait to hear alot of things about Nelly which were a wastage of time. He got back into his car accompanied by Akeshia and drove off. He has only that one opportunity to save Evelyn. 

Martin decided to drive off to Ruth's house. This was again some more hours from Mambo town yet Martin wanted to arrive even with minutes. He really wished that his own car would fly so that he could go to Ruth's house quickly and bring Nelly along with him to the closer gates. 

Luckily, Martin arrived at the Ruth's mansion in two hours. He found out that the gates of the mansion had been locked and the house really looked like an abandoned house. It even seemed as if no one was living there. Martin decided to break the door of the mansion which caught the attention of Ruth who still found it hard to sleep. 

Ruth immediately got out of her room and went to open the door. As soon as Ruth arrived at the living room and opened the door of the main house door, she was astonished to see Akeshia and Martin standing outside the main house door. Ruth did not bother to usher them in. She got put of the house and locked the the main house door from the outside. 

" What do you both want here at my premises?" Asked Ruth as she folded her arms. 

" We want Nelly Mariana. She has some  unfinished business with us" said Martin. 

" Nelly can't see you both now. I am her guardian and I am hoijg to take care of her till she fully recovers. We have no idea of when she is ever to be fully recovered but have hopes that it is going to happen as soon as possible yet even if she fully recovers, whatever unfinished you have with her, I will have to know first. For now, I want you both to leave my house right away. There is nothing you both are doing here. I want to go and sleep now" said Ruth who signalled to both Akeshia and Martin to leave.

Ruth felt that they deserved it after deciding to side with Evelyn purposely whom they knew and felt was an evil witch. 

" I am begging...." Said Akeshia but Ruth suddenly interrupted her. 

" There is no need that you should keep begging me for something that I will not give in to. Go back home and take care of your mama. I need to go and rest now" said Ruth who suddenly got back into the house and locked the door from. The inside. 

Akeshia and Martin were left looking at each other while nodding their head in disbelief. Akeshia therefore felt that staying there was wastage of time. Ruth did not seem to understand them. 

" Let's go back to the closer gates Martin. My mama needs us more than the cure to her illness right now. It is too bad that Nelly is the only witch who can cure mama at this time" said Akeshia who thought that she was too convinceable. 

" I am not leaving this mansion without Nelly. Dead or alive! Yes death or alive. I have to see my grandma get healed and I will do everything so that I can access Nelly and get her sympathy" said Martin as Ruth suddenly got out. 

She had really not gone back to her room to sleep. She was still standing by the door listening to Martin's and Naomi's conversation. 

" Do you think you will even get Nelly's sympathy? Nelly is in a comma and the person responsible for this is Evelyn. It you are waiting for her, then you are waiting for the wrong person because you will be never be able to have a conversation with her. She is in a comma and it's not well known if Nelly will ever be able to wake up. Why don't you then leave my house before I call for the commissioner to throw you both out of my house? I am tired of deeing your useless face. I am tired of seeing your useless car parked outside my house. And as soon as you arrive hone, tell your Evelyn that I am happy she will never get healed" said Ruth who suddenly entered the house and locked the door. 

As soon as Ruth locked the door, she was astonished to see Nelly standing in front of her feeling so weak. Nelly immediately hugged her and fell down . This made Ruth to call for the doctor who was sleeping on the couch.
