The devil who loved me

]Timi carried Toun to the car while sparrow and i remained behind. It was still unbelievable that the Abayomi that had hung out with us yesterday was now dead. Sparrow got a call behind me and after he finished, he took Toun and i to Aiyegbami, while Timi went to meet the Hotel management.

Sparrow took us to the spare room in the apartment then he called Jafar, he gave me the phone to talk to him..

Jafar : i told Sparrow to keep you guys secured there…you have more than 20 men around the house..

Me : Abayomi is dead….

Jafar : I will see you guys very soon, they shall not go unpunished..

Me : Promise?

Jafar : with all i am and all that i will ever be

Me : What will i do with Toun?

Jafar L i will be back soon, just hang on…

Toun was sitting on the floor, she was crying bitterly

Toun: what am i now, what will i ever be, what will my life be without him?

me: Toun, Please dont cry?

Toun: I should not cry? do you know we have given our children names?…all of them…

Toun started pulling her clothes, i wanted to stop her but decided against it. when she was stark naked, she started cursing

Toun: Eli, wherever you are, you will lack satisfaction.. you shall drinl water but still be thirsty, you shall eat but still be hungry. what you chase you shall not meet, what you search, you shall not find..

Then she started crying again…i went to hold her…

Me : please dont cry dear, please…

She pushed me away and lay down on the floor…My phone rang, it was Timi.

Timi : how are you?

me: i am ok..

Timi : i am on my way to Ijebu-Ode..Ago is not safe..the school has taken Abayomi's body to the mortuary..

me: that is a good idea, please be safe…

Timi : how is Toun?

me: she is devastated…i dont know what to do…

Timi: i will be with you guys tomorrow.

me: Abayomi was my best friend.

Me : let me know when you arrive at Ijebu-Ode..

Toun was on the floor, she had stopped crying, she was just staring at nothing…then she started laughing…i became worried..

I went to her side and held her..

she started talking to herself…

Toun: Abayomi, you are wicked oh!, is this how we planned it?…you said you will not leave me no matter what..now you have left…

me : Toun, please stop…

Toun : i should stop? they killed my baby!…ah…what kind of pain is this…Ah…

I picked up my phone to call Jafar, i wanted him to tell me it woud be ok….he didnt pick… i thought of Abayomi's lovely mother…she would be crushed!…He was her star..
