Did you go mad? Why standing here laughing? Someone asked from behind. You!!! What are you doing here?? Cocoa asked with a face full of hunger. She turned and faced with her step mom Sylvia. Among the people she didn't want to come into an encounter with at this time is this woman. And her daughter too. Well am here to settle some scores with you. . My daughter is suffering because of you. If you had obediently accepted that marriage, all of these wouldn't have happened. She wouldn't have turned to be a punching bag for that sadist Kawesa. If my daughter can't live a happy life then you shouldn't either. Sylvia sputtered . Anger had blinded her eyes and took her senses also.That too much excitement forced her to rush towards Cocoa in an attempt to slap her. However Cocoa had calculated her move already. Sylvia raised her hand but it didn't come into contact with Cocoa 's cheek or any other part of her body. For the later grabbed the hand.This should be the last time that you att
People rushed to see the girl as others took out their phones to do something. There is a clinic nearby let's take her over there first. Cocoa suggested. Oh that will be good. How l didn't think about it before. Teacher Alice said. Let's use my car. Alex Lulu suggested.His eyes never left Cocoa even when he was addressing someone else.Cocoa didn't take it serious. So with the help of other village guys who were awakened because of the commotion, the girl was put in the car and dropped to the clinic. However this village Clinic didn't have enough equipments to treat the girl because the stone was sharp and had hit her deeply.lt wasn't much of help. So they reffered her to a big hospital before her condition could get worse. The girl's mom went crazy too. She grabbed Sylvia and started to hit her anywhere she could. You are a wicked woman. You have destroyed my girl's future. The woman shouted. .Sylivia cried in pain and anguish. She would have hit back at this woman under normal
What is the matter? Cocoa asked. She is so attentive when it comes to him. Although my legs and arm are fully healed now, the doctor said that my entire body is weak. That l can't engage my self in doing..... What! Cocoa asked when Allan went silent. Sex, l mean actually sex. My Cocoa will you wait for me to heal everywhere? Allan asked and waited in panic . And there was silence that prevailed among them. In that short period of time Allan's heart raced violently. Whatever her reply would be meant so much to him as a man. It's okay Allan. I have waited for you. For almost my entire life. It won't hurt to wait alittle more.will it? Cocoa commented back. Oh my Cocoa you are the sweetest thing that ever happened to me. Allan stated. He kissed her lips more passionately. Cocoa liked his kisses the most. And she is always turned on with the first kiss. She was understanding and also didn't want to make him worry. However Cocoa wasn't stupid as Allan thought. That evenin
As soon as Allan's figure was out of her sight than Cocoa dressed up in a long light blue dress. She matched it with black sandals. On her head, Cocoa wrapped a black veil on it. Few minutes later she left the house to find Faiza.Standing on the road there she was. Dressed in dark brown tight pant with a yellow baggy t-shirt with a cap on her head, Faiza looked more of a tomboy. It's not inhuman to let me stand here in this cold weather. Faiza voiced when she noticed Cocoa coming from the corner of her eye.Sorry darling it wasn't deliberate. I just woke up late today yet l had to attend to Allan before he depart for his appointment. Cocoa replied apologetically.It's alright. It's not like l didnt see that coming. Since you are married the single me has to suffer. Arghhh!! Faiza joked.We only live together. We are not married yet. Cocoa reminded out of embrassement.lt's not like we are wedded. She added. Hmmm, what's the difference? For as long as you stay together and get inv
Cocoa past through the crowd like a madwoman.The veil on her head untied without her notice. As she run the veil bounced infront of her. She tripped and fell flat on the ground. However she didn't have time to moan for her loss. She just stood up and run into the crowd. Her heart was pounding like crazy.Faiza who was behind yelled Cocoa's name however the yellings were unheard of by her. Her mind wanted one thing and that is to find Allan. How could he get involved in a fight. He just recovered for crying it loud!No matter what she doesn't support him fighting. However when she saw the person that was involved in the fight with Allan, Cocoa had a change of mind. In the center of the crowd there Allan was. Supported by three men for he couldn't stand on his own. On the other side was Edgar Steven who also has bruises all over. He was yelling this and that.Acting all proud and arrogant. Knowing Edgar Steven is an educated man but with no common sense, Cocoa could guess the cause of
Just as she stepped into the farm than a person's voice sounded behind her. Good morning beautiful Cocoa. What do you want? Instead of answering the other party, Cocoa rather asked a question.Hey calm down beautiful. I don't mean any harm to you. The person quickly voiced out with a smile.Harm!! Alex Lule I can't be sure. Afterall you where hiding in the bushes just few minutes ago. Anyone can think anything right? Cocoa responded. Her voice and gaze were anything but skeptical. Oh no you got it all wrong. I was going to fetch cassava from my grandma's farm. It happened to be on the same way as you were going. I only branched somewhere to ease myself. I wasn't hiding trust me. Alex defended himself. What farm? And who is your grandma? Cocoa inquired. The farm just next to the small one of Allan is for Mrs. Ruth. And the next one is old Petra. Unless...... Are you the grandson of old Petra? Cocoa asked. Like old Salama, old Petra also lives alone. Over the years she has been
The house was noiseless when Cocoa returned.She called Allan's name. Her tone was urgent and anxious.Coincidentally Allan had just woken up from a deep sleep. So upon hearing the door open and the sound of his name, he sobered immediately and got out of bed. Compared to Yesterday, he felt much better after a good night and morning sleep. Hey dear you cane back early. Is there a problem? He asked I couldn't even dig up to five footsteps. Allan there is indeed a problem. A huge one at that. Cocoa answered right away looking all worried. Tell me about it. What is the problem? Allan asked calmly.Perhaps being poor with nothing to loose or may perhaps Cocoa was okay without any injures, Allan was too calm that it made Cocoa panic somehow. A small knot formed in her stomach. Edgar Stevens was beaten up to death early this morning. He is now in the hospital. Cocoa informed her gaze still fixed on him as if looking for something. However she also doesn't know what she was looking for.
Just as they were still confused, they saw Allan being escorted to a cell. Cocoa sighed. Tears were frightening to fall from her eyes but remembering Allan's words" l didnt die why are you crying ", She refused to let them out. The Stevens couple were seated in the sofa in the waiting room. Cocoa went upto them. Good morning Mr and Mrs Stevens. She greated politely even though she felt bitter for them. Oh Cocoa goodmorning. What are doing at the police station? Mrs. Stevens responsed with a smile. My boyfriend is being detained here for nothing. Cocoa replied. Although she said it in a polite way, one can still detect the mockery in the statement. Who is your boy friend? Although Mrs. Stevens asked, she still had a guess. Anyway she always heard rumors at home about everyone in the village. Allan Kembo. The one you ordered to be brought here because he had a fight with your son. Although you people have money, it's always better to fall the rules. My boyfriend is innocent in
