TRAIL OF LOVE Fifteen
An hour later they gathered back in the courtroom. Doing the one-hour break, Mr. Ro'Sau was too ashamed to face his family. He pinned his hope on the judge's final say, then will he have the courage to face everybody."I have verified the video with Mr. Ofuje and that of the CCTV of the Venushoods organisation, they are both the same, before the session ends, I will play them for everyone's eyes," the judge publicly said."How well did you trust the I.T. guys in your company?" Shen asked Ro'Sau."As it is I do not trust anyone anymore," Ro'Sau replied."Within your organization, did you have a conflict with anyone recently?" Shen brought in another question."I know you are doing your job as my attorney, but believe me on this, as far as I know, there's no one at all. Both within my organisation and outside. I am surprised with everything that's happening right now, it seems like a movie to me." Ro'Sau gave a response to lawyer Shen."I also wish it's a movie, at least I can assist yo
TRAIL OF LOVE Sixteen
Despite all the shreds of evidence presented in the court, Heena and Shawn still believed that their dad was innocent. Their dad gives more attention to moral values than anything else. How could such a person be found wanting for an illicit act? This is a question that is worth asking.Ro'Sau was led out of the courtroom by a few guards, heading to the bus that will take him and other criminals to the prison.Heena ran as fast as she could to her dad. She was crying and shouting "dad! I know you are innocent. We will fight this till the end." Her cry almost made her dad tear up, as the man that he is, he had to control his emotions. Shawn also walked up to his dad and hugged him tightly. The guards understood so they gave them time to say goodbye to each other. Avie stand aloof, she doesn't know if she should cry or scream, but she did wear a sad look. Trisi went to see her husband briefly before he was taken away."Please look after the family well for me," Ro'Sau confessed to Tris
TRAIL OF LOVE Seventeen
They drove for about one hour from the court to their house not a single word was heard from one another. It was an abrupt silence, and Trisi was driven with resentment. If not for the fact that the road was less busy, another headline would have surfaced in the news. Immediately they got to the house, it was a busy day for them, they all went to their room, they were all acting up like they had lost a dear one to untimely death. Yes! Prison is not a home to dwell in for anyone, but as long as there is life, there is always hope.Heena spent thirty minutes in her room before she rushed out of the house without a word as others were in their room respectfully. She called Leah on the phone to meet her up somewhere far from her house. In less than thirty minutes Leah showed up."Hey! What's wrong?" Leah asked"Nothing, I needed someone to escort me to the prison," Heena answered back."Oh my! You scared me on the phone with the way you sounded," Leah confessed."Sorry about that, I was

The guard glanced at the $100 in his hand carefully, the silence was already killing Heena. She couldn't resist the temptation of not seeing her dad, so she tried to barge in if it could work as the guards are busy sending secret codes to each other."You only have 5 min in there," said one of the guards seated by the corner of the gate.Heena nodded her head in affirmation, and she took a few steps forward to proceed into gaining access to the main building."Where did you think you were going?" A thick voice asked from behind.Heena was terrified by the question and she lost her balance in a split second, she almost reached for the ground, but the empty chair beside her helped her to be on her toes.She was still in a daze. A single question made all her limbs weak, she was standing in the midst of the guards and Leah, however, she was seeing a different thing in her mind."Young lady, I don't mean to frighten you away, wait right here for my return," the thick voice guard said to H
TRAIL OF LOVE Nineteen
Ro'Sau gripped Heena by her, baby girl gives attention carefully to what I am about to say, Ro'Sau whispered, while Heena nods her head in response."What did you think this place is called?" He asked Heena.Heena raised her brow to have a look at her dad. She wanted to be sure if truly the man standing with her is her dad. His question deserves to be questioned."Don't look at me like that, Princess. Just tell Daddy what your answer is," Ro'Sau let out funnily."Even a blind man knows that everything about this building is Prison," she reacted."You are wrong dear," Ro'Sau said Heena came to be disturbed. The inscription outside says Prison. How come her daddy is saying otherwise. Heena possessed the facial expression of explain yourself to me, because I am lost."Dear here is not a prison, but a school to learn more about life," Ro'Sau let out, though his mind was heavy. He never saw it coming even in his dream that one day his wall would crack down overnight. The worst of all, he

As Heena thrust the door open, she began to hear noise coming out of their house. What could the noise be all about? she wondered?.Immediately she arrived in the living room, she saw Shawn fuming in irritation, she knew she heard him say "That can never be possible," before he slammed the door and went out of her sight.Avie is the worst person to talk to at this moment, though she looked weary but she fixed her attention on her phone to get away from having eye contact with Heena."Shawn, wait! Where are you going? Heena cried out."No need to follow him, he will be fine," Trisi said casually. It is easy to guess that their mother is the flesh behind the noise. "Dad hasn't spent a day in Prison. Can we behave ourselves and let peace reign?" Heena cried out.Heena noticed there was a movement in the bathroom. She thought that they are not more than this, could it be that her dad is back? On second thought she remembered that there was no way that their dad would use Shawn's bathroom.

Heena's head was split into a million pieces, thousands of questions roamed and disturbed her already troubled soul.

Turns out a lady was the one driving the car, she got down from the car to find a rather dishevelled girl looking at her.It took Heena some minutes to tell herself that she doesn't know the person standing before her."Uhm, are you okay?". The young lady in front of her asked."I think so," Heena muttered and tried to stand but fell immediately."Wait, let me help you up", she offered to help."Thanks". Heena said.The young lady helped Heena to her car."I don't know what you're going through but I can't just leave

After spending about two hours on the phone talking with her business associate, Daryl turned to see Heena with her fragile personality snoozing at the edge of a family-size well-furnished bed. She grinned inwardly."This girl is so amazing!" Daryl exclaimed before pushing Heena into the middle of the bed so she can sleep soundly, she then wrapped her with a blanket.
