NOT HER REFLECTION By Sobowale OluwafunkeEpisode 9

*losing someone dear to you doesn't mean it is the end of the world instead make it your beginning*

"Tofunmi, you must eat today" I said.

"Sister Ife, till they find Shina's killer, I won't leave this room". Tofunmi replied

" Do you think that I don't know how to cry? Or do you think I'm happy as Shina is dead? Shina is also my brother, it's really hurting me but what can I do?Shina is dead but we're still alive and we've to be stronger because of this, do you know that some people are waiting for our downfall?but we've to prove them wrong, you being like this cannot bring Shina back to life, Tofunmi, we've to further our education". I said

"I don't want to go to school again" Tofunmi cried out

"Tofunmi, because Shina died in school doesn't mean you'll also die in school"I replied her

" But I'm 22years old, and I'll have to write Jamb next year, Ahh! My mates are planning to graduate this year ".Tofunmi said

" Babe, when you get there, people that are even older than you are there". I replied her

"Sister Ife, ahh!!okay I'll go and I will like to study Law". Tofunmi said while I hugged her

" So Sister Ife, what do you want to study?"Tofunmi asked

"I'll go to the polytechnic because of my job and I want to study Economics"I answered

" that's cool"Tofunmi said

Tofunmi took her bath and ate her food.
That same day, in the afternoon, Biyi called me and told me that

a guy called him and said that he knows the killer of Shina and he knows where the killer is hiding.

"Wow..so where's the person staying?" I asked

"He didn't say it, but don't worry, we're going to arrange a place for us to meet, just stay calm and don't bother yourself" Biyi said

"Thank you so much, God bless you" I prayed for him

*********************
most of your enemies are the people that you don't expect*so  don't judge anyone

The witness was Biggy (Edwin's friend), the second guy that raped me, he begged me and explained that he was drunk and was just following Edwin's order.

What can I do? It's all in the past now.

(Biggy's side of the story) *now Biggy*
My name is Bashorun Bode, people know me as Biggy, life has never treated me well and I promise not to treat life well also.

I met Edwin at Mushin market, we were both lost and confused, we had no hope, all what we wanted was help but nobody was ready to treat us well, I and Edwin became best friends, we did things together.
I treated Edwin like my twin brother, I didn't know that Edwin was a cultist not until one night he got me drunk and he knows that I can do anything bad if I'm drunk so he used me,
All what I can remember is that Edwin was talking about Ife, a lady he happens to have a crush on. He said Ife doesn't want to date him and she wants to play him that we must teach her a lesson, Ife, I know that you cant forgive me but I'm sorry, I wasn't in my right sense, I didn't know what happened that night but it was Edwin that reminded me everything, I was angry at him, we fought and he wanted to force me to be a cultist but I had to run to Ibadan.

On getting to Ibadan, one of my friend who is a neighbour to Edwin, his name is Yomi, he told me that he overheard Edwin's discussion on phone.

Yomi told me that Edwin was planning something terrible against Ife and her siblings when they were in the hospital, but it didn't  work out so he's using a Doctor in that hospital but he doesn't know the Doctor's name. Now the task I am left with is to protect Ife and her siblings but I failed in protecting Shina.

One of my guys who usually help me to spy on Edwin and the Olanrewajus told me that Shina was on his way to Ibadan and he was been followed by three boys (Brut, Sanko, Dere)

I knew something was up for Brut to be following Shina, Edwin must have sent Brut and his guys.

Oh Shina, I would have protected you

What next?
