Him Don Die?

Lanre turned and slapped the woman on her face again. Christian could not help but notice how dangerous this was that the two of them would want to fight on a stairway. He tried to separate them. But Lanre was too stubborn. She kept on slapping the lady who was only bent on humiliating Lanre by tearing her clothes. Thanks to the strong fabric, Lanre would have be considered a mad woman on the streets.

“You think you stand a chance against me because you are fat? I will beat you, and once I’m done, I will arrest you for physical assault on a teenager. I will make sure you go to court”. Lanre said taking each word one after the other.

Just then, the woman pushed Lanre. Lanre had seen herself falling. But she landed on something instead of hitting her head or breaking a bone. It felt relieved she was not hurt until she realised Christian had actually shielded her with his body. And he was the one who got hurt. She noticed the blood dripping from his head. His groans reached her ears. It hurts more than her getting hurt herself.

She immediately stood up, lifting her weight off him.

“Chris, are you alright? You are bleeding”. Lanre said. Then she bit her lips. As if this was what will solve the problem, she scolds him for not listening to her when she asked him to remain in the car.

“Keep quiet and just give me a kiss already”. He muttered.

“Him don die?” The woman asked with her hands on her head for fear that she must have caused the death of someone. Lanre swore at her that it was her that was dead. Then she rushed at the woman and bit her at the back of her neck after pushing her head down. Then she pounds on the woman’s head aggressively.

“This one is for Chidinma! This one is for me, and the remaining one is for the person you almost killed”. Lanre said as she pounds her fist on the woman’s head.

“Make una help o! She will kill me o! Evil spirit have possess this one o”. The woman kept shouting for help. The girls in her shop ran out. It was just the two of them. The one who first attended to Lanre and another girl who seemed to be around Chidinma’s age as well. They held Lanre’s hand pleading with her to let go of their madam.

“Are the both of you mad? She said I will kill her, so allow me kill her”. Lanre said.

“Lanre please! My head!” Christian who has finally gotten up from the staircase said to Lanre hoping for her to stop. Lanre looks at him with a frown. She will have to take him to the hospital. She let’s go of the woman and turned towards Christian. He released a breath of relief that she finally let go of the woman. But he did not expect Lanre’s next action.
