19 Chapter 19: Johnson and Sam

Hannah was in the kitchen when Johnson called her to the sitting room.

"Is this the person you are referring to?" he asked.

"Yes," she replied.

"Ike, do you know her?"

"No," he denied, feeling trapped.

"Liar! Are you not the one who took my land because of the 20k you lent me?" Hannah asked loudly.

Ike remained silent.

"I lent you two million naira and even gave you more time to pay it back, but instead, you punished someone else over 20k," Johnson said.

"I'm sorry. I will return the land to her and I won't ask for the money again," said Ike.

"It's too late. Officer!" Johnson called out. Instantly, two police officers opened the door and arrested Ike, leading him away in handcuffs.

As Johnson drove to the office, he noticed a crowd beating a young man for stealing.

He recognized the man as his former classmate, Sam, who had once saved his life in secondary school.

Back then, Johnson had been kidnapped and taken to a forest, where he was tied to a tree by the kidnappers. They demanded five million naira from his parents for his release.

Sam, hunting in the forest, spotted two kidnappers with guns and Johnson tied to a tree. He hid behind a nearby tree, armed with his hunter's gun.

From his hiding spot, Sam aimed and shot both kidnappers, killing them. He then took out a dagger and cut the ropes binding Johnson, and they escaped.

Johnson joined the crowd around Sam, remembering how Sam had saved him. He asked why they were beating Sam.

A stout woman in the crowd spoke up, "This fool tried to steal the food I was cooking outside our compound."

Johnson intervened, "Please forgive him. He won't do it again."

"No, we won't forgive him. He's stolen our food multiple times," the woman insisted.

"How much was the food worth?" Johnson asked.

"Five thousand naira," the woman replied.

Johnson paid the woman from his pocket, and Sam was released.

Johnson then asked Sam to come with him to the office. They got into Johnson's car and drove away.

Sam thanked Johnson for saving his life.

"Do you remember me from secondary school?" Johnson asked.

"Yes, I remember," Sam replied.

"Why did you steal the food?"

"I was hungry and had no money to buy food."

"What do you do for work now?"

"I manage a small business," Sam explained.

"Okay, I will help you financially to expand your business, but promise me you won't steal again," Johnson said.

"I promise I won't do it again."

"Alright, when we get to my office, I will give you a check for five hundred thousand so you can use it to start a good business."

Sam was filled with gratitude upon hearing the amount Johnson wanted to give him.

A few minutes later, they arrived at Johnson's office. Johnson wrote a check for Sam, who thanked him warmly and left the office, filled with joy and gratitude.

Mr. Jack, Samba's father, was relaxing in the sitting room when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"It's me, Samba."

"Samba!" Mr. Jack exclaimed in surprise as he hurried to the door and opened it.

"Daddy," Samba said, hugging Mr. Jack.

"Samba, I'm so excited to see you. Come in," Mr. Jack said, leading her into the sitting room where they sat together.

"Samba, seeing you today fills my heart with joy. I'm truly happy to see you again," Mr. Jack said.

"Daddy, I wanted to surprise you. I knew you would be very happy to see me. How is my stepmother?" Samba asked.

"She went to the shop. Samba, I want to celebrate your return and seeing you today."

"That would be wonderful, Daddy."

"Tomorrow, I'll slaughter a big cow to celebrate your arrival. Come on, give me another hug," Mr. Jack said, embracing his daughter again.

"Daddy, I brought a special gift for you."

"Okay, my daughter. I would be happy to see the gift," Mr. Jack replied.

"Alright, Daddy, let's go downstairs and I'll show you," Samba said.

They went downstairs, and to Mr. Jack's surprise, Samba showed him a car.

"Daddy, this is for you."

"Wow! This is amazing. Do you mean this car is for me?"

"Yes, Daddy."

"I'm so grateful. Come on, give me a hug again," Mr. Jack said, hugging Samba as they smiled together.

Mr. Jack and Samba then got into the car, and Mr. Jack drove off happily.

Mr. Jack arranged the seating for his daughter's celebration that had just begun.

He invited some of his friends to join in the festivities.

They ate, drank wine, and danced to the music.

Mr. Jack danced with Samba, while Angelina and Joy were also present.

They were overjoyed that God had brought back Samba, their long-lost daughter, who returned with riches and wealth.

After the ceremony, Samba decided to give Mr. Jack some money. She handed him a bond worth 100k and asked him to give his wife, Angelina, 10k, while he could use the rest for his own needs.

Mr. Jack received it joyfully, but Angelina complained about the small amount she received.

"Leave me alone, woman! Weren't you the one who chased me out of the house? If you don't want me to spill the secret, you better accept it as it is."

After saying these words, Mr. Jack woke up suddenly from his dream around 4:30 a.m. Angelina was beside him in bed.

Reflecting on the dream, Mr. Jack prayed fervently that God would make it come true.

When Angelina woke up, he explained the dream to her. She advised that they should consult their church pastor about it.

As planned, they visited the pastor, who wished them good luck and advised them to pray for the dream to come to pass.

A month later, Mr. Jack's salary was delayed, and Angelina complained again that there was no food in the house.

"Daddy Joy, it's been a week since I was the only one buying food, and now it's finished. Please find a way to provide for the household because I'm broke right now."

"See, woman, you won't kill me. What do you expect me to do? Should I go steal, or where do you want me to go?"

"Don't ask me that kind of question. The food in the house is the last we have. Find a way to buy more food for this household."

"Leave me alone, woman. If you can't wait until they pay me, I won't go and kill myself."
