CAST OUT

He killed my sister

Buka was standing by the car with his anxious feet, it was today, he was gonna see them again. Today. He was meeting his family, he couldn’t thank Elina enough. She had helped him. Else. He would never got to see them again.

He was dressed in his best, waiting for them, since they were all going. Elina, the master, Aziel and sambas. He was gonna be with his family even if it was just a little while. He looked nervous, as he stare at the rear mirror. Adjusting his tie, he moved back when he saw them coming.

He bow when he was close enough. He nods to his greeting and enters the car.

Elina waved at Buka and got in as well, she was dressed in a striped dress. With a single hand. Hugging her curves.

Her hair was lay down over her shoulders and she was wearing a contact lens.

Buka ran around to the other car, which had Ben in it. The second car they would be using, since the master was using the first one.

“Does your wrist still hurt? Did Ezra do anything stupid, did he do it well, what about your eyes did he had them checked?”

She chuckled at the questions.

Was he worried about her. She was fine at least, the wrist doesn’t hurt much after he had attend to him. Ezra was really good with what he was doing and her eyes. He had checked them and said he will be back in few days to properly treat them and at that time she has to be prepared for it.

“It hurts Just a little. And he would treat the eyes soon, he wanted me to fix a day that would be convenient for me. And got myself prepared.”

“When would you get it done?”

“I don’t know yet, kinda scared.”

“You shouldn’t be.”

“He’s gonna piece whatever needle into my eyes.”

He chuckled.

“He’s not gonna do that.”

“How do you know, you’re ain’t one.” She grumble and crossed her hands.

He stare at her face. Making her twitch uncomfortable on her seat. With the intense gaze he was giving her, the unusual feeling in her stomach anything he looked at her that way and the goosebumps in her skin when he’s close and he was sitting too close to her, their shoulders brushing, like there wasn’t any space left in the seat.

“Am I making you feel uncomfortable?”

“Yeah, if you could move a bit, it would be fine.”

“This is how I seat.”

“Then Why are you staring at me like that.”

“Because you look pretty.”

Damn him, her cheeks went crimson red, her hands went over her cheek, trying to hide them. But he already saw them and smiled. Moving from her side. Returned his gaze to the window.

Why did he had to move too far from her. She actually like the fact that he was close to her, perhaps maybe she was close to his heart too.

“Feeling the chemistry?” Sambas whispered.

“Shut up.” Aziel whispered back and continue driving.

“You should focus on your work.”!

“That’s what I’m doing focusing on her, she’s my work.”

“You’re crazy.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Aziel stole a glance at them. And a smile crept up to his life, Sambas wasn’t lying though but he doesn’t wanna talk about it. It was still early. He couldn’t say anything yet.

Who she be close to him, if she founds out who he truly is.

The secrets that he’s been hiding, who she be able to accept him for who he is. Or would she make a decision that would get her killed.

It all depends on her.

Her alone, Elina Brooke.

They arrived at the house of carol, which kinda appeared quiet, Aziel stopped the car. And the following cars stopped behind him.

“Are you coming?”

“I’ll wait in here. Don’t keep me waiting. Here. The present.”

“Oh, I forgot about it. I didn’t buy any presents.”

“Just take this and go.. like you have any money to buy with in the first place.” He whispered the last part to himself.

“Thank you.”

Sambas opens the car door for her, waiting for her to get out of the car. She came out. With a smile on her face. Taking the led to the door of Carol, with the nervous Buka. And Sambas.

“Hold on a sec. I’ll get the door!” Carol’s loud voice yelled from the room. And then her footsteps was heard she was coming to the door. She opened it.

“Who…?” and the next word fall from her lips. When she saw the faces in front of her.

“Surprise!” Elina exclaimed and moved back a little so Buka could step forward.

She blinked. Like she was dreaming, Elina smiled seeing the shocked look on her face beyond description. Buka step closer to her.

Her eyes got watery immediately.

“You’re alive. You’re alive.” She run her hands over his body, touching them and feeling them as well.

“Am not dreaming, you came..” she screamed in excitement jumped on him on a warm embrace. Hugging him so tight. Ellen came to the door. When she heard the shout, she had a forlorn look on. Maybe the birthday wasn’t going as planned. But when she saw her mother hugging a man who looked like her father. She screamed as well. Running to join the embrace.

Elina felt her eyes got teary watching the happy reunion. They were happy.

And she was happy. Happy that he made the decision to let him go and meet his family for just a day.

She moved away from them, telling Sambas she would be back shortly, she walked around the house. Her her hands around her body, she would give her her present and leave. That was her plan, today was her date with Kenzo, she doesn’t wanna upset him in anyway.

Halting when she saw Barbra at the back of the house, dumping the refuse in a bag. When done she looked up and saw Elina standing in front of her. Their eyes holding different emotions and different words they couldn’t say.

Elina she had look different from the Elina she knew, she was pretty, so pretty and perfect, her skin was glowing.

Guessing she bath with milk now.

Life seems good to her. Compared to her miserable she had been. Since Ray left her.

She walked past Elina, there was nothing to say, there was nothing to talk about.

“Don’t you have something to say to me?”

Elina voice stopped her from walking further into the house.

She spun around. Facing Elina.

“What should I say, I have no idea? Or should I kneel and beg you to let Ray come back to his senses. Oh please Elina. I won’t beg you for what happened between us. Instead let Ray go!”

“I ain’t holding him am I?”

“You’re, because he loves you, despite him trying to hide it. He does and still does.”

“Well that’s good. I once did Love him too.”

“Who do you love now? Kenzo? Ha!” She gave a pathetic laugh.

“Do you know who that bastard is, what he’s gonna do to you. Do you know the man you’re living with, an animal!”

“Ain’t you taking this too personal.”

“He’s competing for the elections isn’t he? Do you even know what the election is about, what the people in there do. They would say it’s a secret cult. Well it is, a secret cult of mafia..”

“Mafia?” Elina shook her head.

“He’s not.”

“Then What is he? How did he get the money he has now, should I tell you, snuggling, embezzling and killing and even more dark things they do within themselves.”

“It’s a lie.”

“Why would I lie to you. I’ve been there, I lived there to be able to know the kind of person he was. He’s only putting on a facade wait till he sleeps with you and see who he really is. He hadn’t shifted your pants yet. When he does. You’ll see.”

“He’s changing, he might be like that before but not anymore. Because you hate me. That’s why you’re saying all these to my face.”

“I don’t hate you Elina, but pity you, that man out there would kill you, after he had fucked You, he would hurl you outside, cast you away from his life and kills you. He loves no one. Expect himself and power. He hasn’t fucked You yet how would you know, Why are you the one begging him to love you, why don’t you let him beg instead, for love.”

She was crying now.

“Run, while you have time. Else you would get broken and broken again, until you have nothing left. Before the election, run. Else you would be a bait.”

Elina scoot over to her side. Wiping her tears.

She sniffed.

“Because she loved him, he killed her. If he had sent her out, would have been better. But he killed her. I saw him, do it to my face. The beast that he was. Because of love, she begged him to her love her back. And he used her as a lesson to others. He killed her.”

“Killed Who?”

“My sister.”
