Do Not Let This Get Out

“Your last respect? Are you cutting ties with your family? Do you think you can actually survive without your father?” Governor Adewale asked his son. K smirked. K asked him if he thinks anybody in his reasonable mind would want to let go off a big name as Adewale only because he was provoked.

“Think well Sir! I’m only saying, I will not be present at your burial. I would not want to see how your wife will cry at your burial”. K said to his father. The man became suspicious. He asked K if he had come with a gun to shoot him or something.

“Did you drink that tea in front of you?” K asked him.

“Isn’t it obvious? The cup is empty”. Governor Adewale said. At this point he realised that something was wrong. K smiled. He stood up and walked closer to his father.

“People die from poison. Governor’s are no exception. Because they are people too”. K said. He adjust his suit, and left. Before his father could say anything, he was already choking.

“She only wanted you to pay for your crimes and go to jail. But you would eventually get out because you are a king pin when it comes to politics. So rest in peace”. K said as he walked out. He met his mother in the living room.

“Who prepared the tea for my father?” K asked her. She looked at him in confusion not knowing what he was driving out.

“I think his tea was poisoned. He is dead”. K said. The mother ran straight to her husband’s study.

“It is not possible! My husband cannot be dead”. She cried as she got closer. She opened the door to find Governor Adewale lying lifeless on the floor. She screamed for help. She called for Kehinde to come. But he already left. She ran around like a maniac. Kehinde was gone. The only people around were the security personnels. They helped rush the governor to the hospital. She made sure she asked them to keep shut about what was happening.

At the hospital, the Governor was confirmed dead.

“He choked to death. He had some particles stuck in his throat and choked to death”. This was the report on his death that was given to Olasile.

“Are you saying it was not poison?” Olasile had asked the doctor. He told her they were still trying to identify the particles.

“No matter what, do not let this get out”. Olasile said to him. The doctor acknowledged her words. He promised her no information will be leaving the hospital. Olasile went to a corner to cry. Her husband is dead. Her son has decided to push her away. Her daughter now leaves in England and would not talk to her after what happened at her wedding. She felt the world had cursed her. She has lost everything. She has lost her husband and her children.

“Ah! Oko mi!” She cried calling out for her husband who she just lost.
