Ackim….

“Meet me at the usual place” I told Paula on the phone. I had just seen George and overheard him plan to attack that night. He was instructing some guys on how to capture her from the hotel.

The Bodyguard Final Episode

“I don’t want any mistakes this time around” he told them.

“luck for us that idiot lost his memory. we have to act before he can remember who we are.” George explained as they sat at some drinking place. I wore a hood and some black sheds as a cover. They did not noticed I followed them to their meeting.

One thing puzzled me the most. The woman I saw at Georges house who introduced herself as his mother was the one pushing his son to kill Paula. I clearly head heŕ insist that that day they should make sure Paula was dead.

“listen up guys, George went on, should that soldier show up anywhere we all should not hesistate to take him down, this time for good” he added as they all nodded in agreement..

They were 6 in total, one of them apart from George looked familiar but unfortunately I couldn’t remember who he was.

Sudenly I saw them leave and I followed them, unknown to me one one them saw me as I made the call to Paula. I had taken off the hood thinking they all left. I had planned on warning her and get her out of the hotel before they did.

I cut the line as they came menacingly and surrounded me. George had left and now I had to face 4 guys.

“Well, well look who decides to stick his nose in our business again” they shouted, one of them wagging a belt made of a strong rubber.

I knew I had to fight them or I would die. As they charged towards me, I grabed one of them and hit him hard on his face and he staggered backwards. I fought two other guys and when they noticed I was defeating them as individuals. They all charged forward at once, hitting and punching me from all directions.

My furry rose as I fought back making sure my blows left a great impact on them. Grabbing the rubber belt from the tall guy who had it, I whipped them so hard and they stood a step away. I went wild hitting and slashing as I over powered them.

It was surprising even for myself the way I fought then. I noticed one of them was the guy who had wanted to break in at Dr Mwaba’s house.

I followed him first and gave him blows before the others could stand to fight back. It was almost 18 and getting dark, the people at the bar ran in all directions as the fight heated up, I was like a mad dog kicking and fighting with all I had.

With a crack I twisted the guy I identified and he fall down lifeless. I was still on him when I felt a sharp cut in my head and before I turned to look at where it came from, I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was tied to some pole in an abandoned warehouse. I tried to loosen up but the idiots did their job well.

The guy with a funny hair cut came forward and led others as they all hit me so hard I felt powerless. I spat blood and went dark again.

The time I came to, I saw George and his crew walk in.

He clapped his hands amazed,

“well now.. this is more like it.. the wounded buffalo has been tarmed ” he teased placing his foot on my chest.

“You have to kill me first you fool!” I shouted..

“because if you don’t, I swear to God I will cut off your head.”

“Let’s see how you do that soldier !’ he shouted back..

“you are useless tied up. Besides, am now going to invite your pretty girl so she watches you die before I kill her myself” he added and started laughing loudly. I wondered what was him with his stupid laughter, it so much for to my nerves.

“I guess you have watched too much movies uh? You want to be the bad ass guy who threatens everyone and do all sorts of crazy things ” I mocked him..

“but if you paid attention, you would notice the bad guys like you never make it to the end alive” I added sarcastically.

He came forward and slaped my face.

“you are dead meat my friend” he whispered near my face.

“say all you can cause today is the last of your miserable life” he spat looking straight at me.

Some other guy came and whispered some thing to him and I saw him smile happily.

“oh well today is indeed my day” he said as he went out side.

He came back a few minutes later with Paula held by two of his boys.

I shouted for him to leave her alone but he mocked me, saying she was the reason we both were there.

I felt bad and useless being tied up. my heart ached as i watched them tie her across where I was.

“I swear they will pay” I thought to myself. I wasnt going to let them harm her, not when I was still alive. I started looking around for something to help me loose myself.

George started explaining what he was calling the begining of the story….

“I lived a poor life with my mother and my elder brother” he started.. “that was some years back. our mother told us we both were born from different father’s. My brother who is supposed to be your real step brother” he said looking at Paula.

“he’s name is or can I say was? Gerrad” he went on..

“What are you saying you fool ?” Paula answered.

” you mean you are not even my brother?” She asked surprised..

“Yes actually” he responded folding his hands..

The Bodyguard Final Episode

“You see i had to kill that fool cause he always thought he was more intelligent and clever. When our mother told us about who the father to Gerrad was. That is your father Paula,” he paused.

” I knew if he was to find his father before me he would become rich over night as we all knew he had lots of money. Anyway, to cut the story short, i wanted his inherritance and i killed him but my mother thinks it was an accident.

I later on convinced mom to go confront Mr Benson and tell him I was his son. Since she also needed the money she agreed and we brided some doctor to forge a DNA test and blah! Am your brother!” he said rising his hands as he stood before us looking at our surprised faces.

“You are evil George” Paula snapped.

” your greedy is so vast it will lead you to your grave.”

I watched him in silence my head was cracking with pain. I was almost screaming in pain but I couldnt show weakness at the moment.

“So now what followed?” He asked himself as he walked to and from.

“yeah I remember, then I started my plot to kill you. my only mistake was I wanted some quick cash so I damanded a ransom for your release when I sent some guys to kidnap you” he let a laugh..

“Mmmmhm it was wonderful how I used your workers to get to you. Remember Simon? And Shila? ” he looked at Paula

I saw Paula’s face frown

“what? You used those two?” she asked.

unfortuately for me everything was news cause I couldn’t remember the people in question.

“Yes, yes” he agreed smiling

The Bodyguard Final Episode

“Shila is my girlfriend and shes the one who drugged your drink before we got you then and she was my eyes there. Simon may he rest in peace, was my cousin and he did lots for me, for instance kill the guys this jerk left to guard my right hand man Kakoma after he kidnapped him, remember soldier?” He teased me popping his eyes at me, Istayed silent.

“Am sorry I have to kill you Ackim, It’s nothing personal but you spoiled everything for me when you decided to play hero. A guy like you would save me better but since you are on the wrong team, guess I have no option.”

He went on bragging about how he squandered the money he was always demanding, he mentioned his plans of taking over from Paula’s father. Surely one could tell he was a lost cause, he harboured pure hatred towards Paula and her father.

He stepped out with his group later after he was done narrating his story. Some guy told him the police just past by the main road.

I took the opportunity to speak to Paula.

” i will get you out of here I swear on my life!” I assured her..

“Don’t do anything stupid Ackim please ” she told me crying.

” you are hurt and this maniac won’t hesitate to kill you.”

“if I don’t do anything we are both dead” I whispered to her.

“this person is sick in the head.” I shook my head.

“Ackim!” She called me..

“I love you” she told me without warning.

“You and i where were more than friends we both loved each other before the accident”

I smiled weakly.

” wow that’s the best thing I have heard in this horrible day” I told her trying to smile widely..

“whatever the case, I have fallen for you all over again. I love you now Paula, am not sure about the past cause I can’t remember but I know I love you still” I added with a smile..

I saw her cry and I was devastated. “am sorry we will never get to be together” she smiled whilst crying.

“No don’t say that, we have not come all this way just to die like this, i will get us out of here.” I said looking around. I needed a plan and I had to act fast.

George and his gang came in and they got some bags from the corner in a rush.

” hey you remain here and watch them” he spoke to one of the guys.

“we have to distract the cops and make sure they dont find this place. I will be back soon” he added as they ran out.

I looked at Paula and then the guy on guard, she shook her head in fear as I pushed myself up the pole.

The man guarding us turned towards me and came shouting.

“sit down!” But I stood straight without moving.

He came closer to hit me but this time he got it wrong I was ready for him. I kicked him on his groins and he fall down wincing in pain.

With another kick I hit him again and he stood staggering, the third hit took him down and he was silent in seconds. He was one of the people I fought earlier so he aleady had some planted blows in him.

I moved down a bit and grabbed him with my legs, my hands still tied up. He had a dagga which was still in his hand as he lay there motionless. I had to be fast before he woke up.

With so much force I pulled the dagga towards myself and lifted it with my shoes, the hard part was getting it to cut my hands.

“Paula!” I called her out she was looking at the guy her eyes wide open.

“Come on, I need your help” I told her.

“your hands are tied around that metal but the good part is it’s moveable I want you to try pushing yourself towards me so I cut loose your hands” I instructed.

She moved a bit but stopped.

“I can’t it’s heavy” she cried..

“Yes you can Paula, please try harder” I encouraged.

After so much effort the wrecked part moved a bit forward. I had to extend my legs further my tied hands made it difficult to move freely.

Finally I was close enough and I started moving the dagga cutting her ropes loose, after I warned her to stay still. we heard foot steps as soon as she was loose.

Quickly she came behind me and cut off the ropes around my hands. “let’s go!” I took her hand as we ran back to the metals piled across.

We hid as George and his crew rushed in.

“Damn you!” he cursed kicking the guy who was just waking up from his unconcious.

” where are they? I need them dead before the police get here.”

The guy just looked about lost.

They scattered around the warehouse searching. I had to find us a way out. Paula was shaking in fear and I had to let her stay back down. Slowly, I walked out and grabbed the guy who was coming my direction holding a gun before he could see me.

I turned it and shot him in his leg. George ran to us and before he could realise it was me who shot, I fired at him the bullet heading right on his shoulder. I surely had a good aim and if I had wanted to I could have killed the idiot. But no way. I thought death would be too easy the purnishment for him he was to save a jail sentence .

Other guys ran out as They saw their boss fall. I ran after them like a mad person. I needed all of them down. Paula ran after me..

“Ackim stop!” she screamed

“don’t go out there they are many ” she cried out.

“Stay back I will be okey!” I shouted without stopping as I pursued the thugs.

I ran faster and flashes of my memory started coming, With every step I remembered my whole life in seconds up to the time of the accident.

I recalled the vehicle banging from behind and as I turned to look at what was happening I saw a large tin of petrol thrown at us followed by a tong of fire.

I pushed Paula out of the car as it over turned before the blast which blackened my sight. I remembered jumping out heading to the slope.

In confusion, I crawed farther away from the burning car. I managed to stand as i saw blood all over my legs, part of my clothes were burning. I managed to wipe the flames from my shirt and ran as fast as i could but I wasn’t myself after covering some meters. my vision blurred and I fall down. The rest was dark until I woke up in the hospital.

All this recovery happened as I ran after some guy. I fired a gun in his leg and he fall down with a loud shout.

My strenght was gone as I felt a light head. I held my head as the pain worsened with the coming of the memory. Struggling to keep balance as the images before me became blurry. Luckil, Paula was there right before I could fall to the ground. She must have held me before I could get to the ground.

The Bodyguard Final Episode

I moved some minutes later and the whole place was crowded with police officers with their flash lights. It was dark outside but some light inside the warehouse lit the area around.

George and the guys I gunned down were all hand cuffed and covered in blood.

“Well done soldier!” I heard someone say. I looked at the direction of the voice, it was Paula’s father..

“Mr Benson” I called out.

“good to see you.” I tried to smile.

“What?” Paula asked, she was holding me on her laps.

” you remember him? ”

“Yes my Paula” I smiled at her ” i remember everything now. It’s all back my love, I missed you.”

“Wow! ” she screamed her eyes tearly .

” oh my God, this is so wonderful am so overwhelmed with joy right now” she chuckled holding me tighter being so close to her felt so good. But the pains in my body were great too I winced in pain she quickly loosened her grip.

They put me on the vehicle to the hospital as the officer in charge told me I had to give my statement after I was attended to. Paula stayed close to me and kissed my lips lightly as the vehicles moved back to the city..

“Am glad to have you back my soldier” she kissed my hands.

” I really missed you” she added happily.

Days latter i was well, my mother was treated as well and she went back to the farm. We took her there and she invited all my siblings and we had a happy reunion. I was glad to see everyone though my father was no more.

Mr Benson approved our relationship and offered me some of his businesses that I ran them. Partly as appreciation for what I did to save him and his daughters life. I agreed to take over the running of the lodges all over copperbelt.

Dr Mwaba and her family remained close to us and I considered them part of my family. I had found another part to my family and I could not appreciate them more for what they did for me. Maya’s dream was fulfilled I was with Paula, she told me so.

Shila was reported killed at some bar. rummor had it she was caught with another man by George and was stabbed to death.

I managed to report back at the barracks and was told the government would take up the issue as it involved two states and caught the attention of the top guys in the government. I was told months later that the air force took out general Loco’s hide out in the forests of Congo and the rebel group was no more.

*********

“My bodyguard! ” Paula called me out, I sat on the bench near the dams at Nsobe Camp. She always wanted us to go there once in a while and she was right, the place was wonderful and serene.

She was heavily pregnant with our twins then and everyday that past I fall in love with her. She was everything and more than I ever dreamed of her being.

“Yes my love” i answered smiling at her as she dragged herself towards me.

I stood and held her waist gently. “you look cute with this bump” I teased, kissing her neck .

She shivered slightly, I smiled my mouth still planted on her neck.

“Am glad I still make you shiver” I whispered in her ears.

“Yeah unfortunately for me” she joked holding my hands.

“Tou always get the best of my body Ackim.”

“Yeah, its because I love you so much” I acknowledged…

“And I want to marry you as soon as our boys are out of you, you are too heavy for me to lift in a wedding dress.” I teased her further.

She held my neck and kissed me passionately.

“I accept your proposal my body guard” she whispered..

“anytime, anywhere.”

I was so gone. She made my blood run . I always wanted more and more of her sweetnesss. She was the one for me and my body could not resist her.

“Well, let the honey moon begin then.” I smiled lifting her to our Chalet.

“I can still go inside you before these guys come out” I teased her laying her on the bed and brushing her hair from her face with my fingers

” I love you Paula” I told her as I lifted her on top of myself.

“I will live to love you and protect you till my last breath”

She closed her eyes and moaned in pleasure driving me insane with passion.
