Life Happened (Justices for the Lost Soul). 2 – JM konet
Tunde read the message again, to be sure of what he saw.
Was he missing something out? Why would femi know the k!ller of his sister and not tell him.
Alot was running through his mind, and at that moment, he wasn’t even thinking.
He snapped the message and the number, on femi’s phone.
He went back to the living room, and told femi’s family that he was living.
Ain’t you going to stay a little longer. femi’s dad asked.
I would have loved to sir, but I have to go take care of my mother. She would be left alone now at home. Tunde said.
He opened the door and left, but as he was going out the gate, he heard his name.
He turned back and saw femi’s immediate younger sister.
They were like twins, in fact if you weren’t told that she was femi younger sister, you would think that its her elder sister.
When they were little, the were really inseparable.
Tunde. Abigail said (femi’s sister).
Femi knows who killed amina. Abigail said
He told me, he knows and has big plan on how to collect money from them.
I told him it was a stupid idea, but he needed the money.
He didn’t tell me who, but I believe its either he had already threatened them and they came after him. abigail said
I don’t know, but I’m sure that the people that k!lled amina would have been the same to k!lol femi.
Tunde was quiet. he didn’t reply her.
He walked away.
Ain’t you going to say anything? Abigail shouted when he was already some minutes far away.
But what would he say? his heart was heavy
He started pounding on what the police officer told him earlier today. you won’t know what young people would do for money nowadays.
Tunde felt stabbed at the back. He trusted femi.
He went to an uncompleted building near his
house.
He checked his phone pictures, wrote down the number he snapped from femi’s phone and dialed it.
Hello. the voice said
I know what you did, tunde said.
And if you don’t want me to come with the police to arrest you tomorrow.. You will meet me at old Benson building tomorrow 5pm with the money. And don’t think to play smart. I got you watched.. so there is no running. tunde said and switched off the phone.
He doesn’t want to be traced.
What he did was crazy. He doesn’t even have any plan I mind.
He wasn’t thinking straight.
Tunde went home and saw his aunt and mother.
Mommy, I brought the money. tunde said.
You stayed long what happened? tunde mother asked.
Femi is dead. tunde said.
Arghhhh.. not again. tunde’s mother screamed.
Mommy, you need to relax.. Stop bothering yourself.. you have cried too much already. tunde said.
Aunty. Remember you have gist for me. Who is your bobo? tunde asked.
Not now. aunty bisola said.
Aunty, you said when you get back. tunde said(but was caught short).
Tunde, you just lost a friend. aunty bisola said.
uhhhh.. crazy things have been happening lately, and I’m tired of crying… Crying won’t bring back the déad you know. We all have to in some point move on.
And why is your phone off? I have been trying to reach you. aunt bisola asked.
Really? tunde brought out his phone.
Maybe my pocket switched it off or something. he said and turned on the phone.
Just then tunde phone rang.
He went to the kitchen to pick up the call.
Hello, this is becky. Becky said over the phone
Becky. how are you? tunde asked.
I don’t know If this is the right Time, I was bored, so I was wondering If we can go on a date. Becky said
A date? tunde asked.
I’m sorry, you just lost a sister and a friend, asking you to come on a date with me will be really insensible of me. Becky said.
Its alright. I even need some space from my family to clear my head. tunde said
So, my dad got me this camera, so I wanted us to go on a photography date. becky said.
Photography date? tunde asked.
Yah? anything wrong with that? becky asked
No, just that I don’t know that Nigerian girls go for a date like that. tunde said.
Nigerian Girls? Wow. becky said

I will be expecting you by 3pm? becky asked.
Yah. Tunde said
Tunde went into his room, and took a quick shower since it was already past 1pm.
After he was done bathing and dressing up.
He made his way outside the house.
Ain’t you eating your food. aunty bisola asked.
No. I’m going to meet a friend.
Okkk oooo… you smell nice.. which of your friend are you going to meet that you are all shinning up. aunty bisola asked.
Tunde just left the room to the address becky sent to him without responding.

That’s nothing. tunde said.
Your turn. becky said
Thank you. tunde said.

Yah thank you. like thank you. tunde said.
Becky was just staring at tunde.
OK. becky. you are really beautiful. I Never imagined hanging out with you, alot of blacks has been going on lately but your shinning white has covered it. You are amazing and I would really love us to do this again (this time he said holding her hands).
She was going closer to her, before she pulled over. let’s snap and eat. becky said.
Right, snap. tunde said stepping back.
As he was stepping back, he was readjusting himself then he hit his toe on a stone.
He lifted the leg immediately.
So sorry. becky said.
Let me see. she said.
she was trying to massage the toe when tunde’s phone rang.
It was aunty bisola calling.
The inspector Is here to see you. Aunty bisola said over the phone.
After spending time with Becky.
Tunde went home and the police officer was still at his house waiting for him.
Tunde looked really ångry.
The police officer notice that tunde was bøiling.
He coughed and sat down.
Tunde. I went beyond my boundaries in pa femi’s house and I’m sorry. the officer said.
Tunde was just looking at the officer.
I’m truly sorry. he said.
Every where was calm.
He stood up.
Here have my number, incase you need my help some time. he said.
Mama thank you for the drink. the officer said and went out.
Tunde went to his room without saying anything.
The next day was Amina’s burial.. Tunde was occupied and wasn’t chanced to meet the unknown person he called the other day.
Why at the burial, femi’s sister(Abigail) showed up.
You shouldn’t be here. tunde said
Just wanted to come and pay my last respect to Amina. Something femi would have done. if he was here. Abigail said.
I’m really sorry about femi. tunde said.
You shouldn’t be, we both lost who we cherished the most. Abigail said.
Before femi d!ed he called a number that he sent a message to, telling the person he knew he/she was involved in the Dë@th of Amina. Abigail said.
I have the number. Tunde said.
Let’s track the person he called on true caller. we will know the name. Abigail said.
Are you sure its going to work? tunde asked.
There is no harm in trying.. besides the number seems like every other Normal number. abigail said
Why haven’t I thought about this? tunde said.
let’s try this. Abigail said.
They immediately went to tunde’s room and tried calling the number from true caller.
Immediately the call enter. it showed Aunty bisola name.
Is that not aunty bisola, as in your aunty’s Name. Abigail asked.
It can’t be my aunt; maybe there’s a mixup somewhere. Tunde said.
My aunty really loved Amina. she can’t possibly k!ll Amina. tunde said still thinking it out.
Right? my aunty can’t k!ll my sister. she can’t. tunde said.
I’m really sorry. tunde; by it seems like your aunty has the answer we have been looking for. Abigail said.
Tunde was really ångry.
He angrily left the room.
He went outside of the burial and saw the aunty serving food to the guest.
she didn’t Even show remorse. she is serving food in my sister’s burial. isn’t she supposed to be crying? tunde thought to himself.
Tunde wasn’t really him self.
He kept looking at aunty bisola.
Next, he saw aunty bisola drinking water.
Is she supposed to be thirsty? is isn’t suppose to be thirsty if she really love my sister?. tunde thought to himself.
Tunde went to his room and called the inspector number.
Inspector Ola came to Tunde’s house with his team.
Aunty bisola came outside from the burial.
Officer what are you doing here? who invited you to the burial? aunty bisola asked.
I did. tunde said from her behind, coming out from the crowd.
And they are here to take you. tunde added.
What for? aunty bisola asked.
Tunde are you sure you are OK? aunty bisola asked…
Madam you are under arrest. Anything you say or do here will be used against you in the court of law. the officer said.
Tunde what are you doing? tunde’s mother came outside and asked.
Mom I will explain later.
The police took aunty biosla away.
Tunde was just still thinking. Why aunty bisola? he asked himself.
You did the right thing? Abigail said. tapping tunde’s shoulder.
They whole crowed had eye on tunde.
He went inside his room.
The next day tunde went to see her aunty in polic station to ask why.
He still couldn’t imagine why her aunty would k!ll his only sister.
He went to the police station and requested to see his aunty.
But he was told that his aunty d!ed last night at the police cell.
