WHAT DID I DO TO MY MUM? FINAL EPISODE
🌃 WHAT DID I DO TO MY MUM?🌃
FINAL EPISODE
I entered the law court immediately after the Judge made the pronouncement that Jenny will be executed by the firing squad.
There was a little traffic on the road and we couldn't get to the court on time - I would have redeemed her if I had gotten there before the ink was dry.
Jenny collapsed when the pronouncement was made. Her mother ran to her and broke down in tears.
"My daughter didn't do anything" She howled dragging her dishevelled head.
My heart bled - It shattered into pieces.
Nothing could be done because the Judge can't take her words back and she left like greased lightning after making the public announcement.
People were sighing, murmuring while the relatives of the deceased were much happy.
I saw my mother carrying her child on her back. She saw me and hid her face.
Those heartless policemen dragged Jenny up from the floor and took her to their police Van waiting for the firing squad to arrive.
Jenny's mom saw me and was flummoxed. She looked at me and stopped déad in tracks.
"Who are you?" She asked.
I kept staring at her and couldn't respond.
Ken was still at the scene. Even my so-called mother.
"Beatrice, what have you done? You connived with me and póisoned your co-wife Nneoma after she gave birth to a set of triplets" Jenny's mother roared holding my mother on her shirt.
"Stop this please" Beatrice said with bated breath.
"Why are you dragging my wife in such a way" Ken intervened.
"Your wife?" Jenny's mother asked
"She kïlled your parents after Nneoma your mom gave birth to triplets - she sold Jenny and you off and kept Mezuo to herself.
"She is your stepmother" She added.
Ken's countenance was full of rage and fear.
And I was scared stiff after hearing that
Forthwith, he reached out to Beatrice and held her on the neck. He was trying to strangle her to deáth.
"Why didn't you tell me? Now, I had committed an abomination" Ken shouted out "I married, slept and kílled my blood sisters".
People around came and pleaded with Ken to leave Beatrice that he would commit múrder.
"No, let me strangle her and rout in jail," Ken said.
The pleas were enormous and he decided to let go of Beatrice.
Beatrice's visage was immediately shadowed in deep misery and she sprawled out on the floor with her child at her back crying her eyes out.
"I'm sorry" she muttered.
My eyes were red and swollen and I couldn't believe what my ears heard.
I dashed off in tears as soon as Ken approached me.
I couldn't hold my tears and Ken couldn't either.
Jenny's mother was wailing. People were watching.
An hour later, the firing squad arrive and left with Jenny on a police Van as her end had reached.
Ken and some of his crew followed them quickly leaving Beatrice in the law court.
I also boarded a tricycle instantaneously.
They stopped at a tarred road and went into a forest. Jenny was pushed endlessly into the large forest.
We got there and saw Jenny being tied to a big round barrel. The priest had started praying and the firing squad had placed their guns on the point.
Jenny's face was in the sky. She smiled broadly with tears running down her cheeks.
On the spur of the moment, the firing squad cocked their guns and pulled their triggers.
Beatrice ran out of nowhere and the bullet penetrated her skull.
Jenny's face was on the earth - the bullets shattered her face.
Beatrice threw her son in a lake.
Ken and I cried wept for so many weeks.
Ken said in his words "I kílled her, I don't think she will forgive me".
He knelt before me beseeching me to at least accept his apologies that he was deeply sorry.
I forgave him.
Some months later, we visited our village and saw the grave of our parents.
Also, we visited Ugwu and his sons.
Ken and I are on good terms now but we don't live together.
He always visits Jenny's grave.
And till today he didn't stop visiting her tomb.
{THE END}
P:S; Some stepmothers are very deadly. They can make their co-wives suffer endlessly without succeeding.
Often, they cage their destiny and make them forget their biological mother.
Please beware of how you treat people. One who you're treating odiously might be your sister, brother et cetera; tomorrow.
