EPISODE 10

Looking Into Hell

Randy noticed that Stephen Ledi, in shorts, was standing at the entrance to his house speaking on the phone.

A moment later, the pickup truck of the security men pulled up, and when they got down, one had his phone to his ear, and he looked over at Stephen and gave him thumb-up sign.

“There’s nothing to talk about now, Aku,” Rashid said gently and shook his head. “I wish I could, but I can’t. Even if you forgive me, I can’t forgive you.”

She gasped and went rigid as her eyes widened, and she turned a stricken face towards Stephen. The two security men came over and forcibly pulled her by the arms and began to drag her towards Stephen.

“Leave me alone! Leave me aloooone!” Aku screamed shrilly as she wept. “Rash! Don’t leave me! Don’t let them do this to me!”

“You guys get out of here if you don’t want trouble!” one of the security men shouted.

Rashid looked at Aku for a moment, then he wordlessly entered the car and they drove out of the community.

And as she saw Rashid leaving her, his words exploded in her brain like nuclear bombs…

…even if you forgive me, I can’t forgive you…

She went rigid and stared at Stephen Ledi with the eyes of a woman who had looked into hell and seen the face of evil.

“Rash!” she whispered, her throat dry. “He’s… he’s the kindest, calmest, most gentle man I’ve ever known! And he has such a forgiving spirit. If truly he had slept with the whore… oh, God! Oh, dear, dear God! If he had slept with her, he would have forgiven me this without a second pause!”

She shook her head dazedly as tears now fell down her face in torrents, her voice agonized, her beautiful face twisted into a mask as horrible as a gargoyle.

“Oh, Steve! What have you done, Stephen Ledi? All these two weeks you have been confusing me, pampering me, giving me gifts, lying that you have accepted me and Rash and that you just wanted to be friends! Oh, God! How could I have been so stupid? You planned this! Yes, it is you, Steve! You planned it all with the whore! Oh, Jesus!”

“Let’s go inside!” Ledi said grimly as he looked down at her, his expression fierce and filled with jealousy. “Let’s go, Aku!”

“I’m not going anywhere with you!” Aku screamed shrilly. “You animal! You filthy animal, Steve! Bastard, Ledi! You set my Rashid up and made me sin against him! There’s no other explanation! It is you, you, you, you stinking animal. Yes, you all along and I believed it! You will burn in hell, Steve! Oh, Rash, Rash, my love! Please, forgive me, Rash!”

Stephen drew back his hand and slapped her viciously across the face! Aku whimpered with pain and fell to her knees, and looked at Stephen’s furious face with growing horror and wrath.

“You’re mine, Aku! Mine, mine and will always be mine! Yes, I set up the fucking son-of-a-bitch, and that should tell you how much I love you and what I can do to have you! I used Joe, and the whore! And you fucking believed it, but the bastard just saw me fucking you, and it is over between you two! Stay with me, my love. I love you, and I’ll marry you tomorrow if you want to. You will not find peace anywhere without me! Now, get the fuck up and let’s go inside!”

With a furious predator-like snarl, Akushika lunged forward and buried her sharp, beautiful teeth into Ledi’s right thigh and bit right through it until blood flowed.

Ledi screamed with agony as he tried to push Aku’s head back. The girl yanked her head back, and a chunk of thigh meat came out of Ledi’s thigh and filled her mouth.

Ledi dropped to the ground and put his hands on the gaping wound that was bleeding furiously. He looked at Aku with horror as she looked at him without remorse with blood smearing her jaw and lower chin like a vampire.

She got to her feet and kicked him viciously in the face, and he crashed down hard. The guards tried to hold her and she snarled at them.

“Don’t you dare!”

She looked so ferocious that they stood back and let her walk.

A few minutes later, she came out of the house fully dressed, and as she walked rapidly down the street, her tears began to fall again, and she took her phone and called Rashid’s number.

They left the community and travelled fast. When they got to the 37 neighbourhood, Rashid finally spoke.

“Stop the car, man.”

Yao pulled over and turned in his seat.

Rashid smiled wanly at him and then patted Randy’s shoulder fondly.

“Thanks for your help tonight, guys,” he said gently. “Go back to your girls. I want to enjoy the night.”

“Hey, bro,” Randy said quickly. “It’s gonna rain! Let’s get you home!”

“And it is late, Rash,” Yao said worriedly. “You know we won’t feel good leaving you all by yourself considering what happened!”

Rashid smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, Aku fucked up, and I’m hurting. But that’s okay, shit happens. I just want to be alone for a bit, okay? I got my phone. Call me if you want to. But I can handle it from here.”

“Rash, come on, man,” Randy said with concern.

Rashid opened the door and got out.

“Damn it, Rash!” Yao said, but Randy leaned over and touched his shoulder.

“Let him be, Yao,” he said. “Guy needs his solo time.”

They watched their tall handsome friend as he crossed the street, then they drove off.

“That fucking bitch!” Yao Kolo said and hammered the steering-wheel with a fist.

“Apt,” Randy said with his head thrown back on the headrest. “Fucking bitch indeed. Rash dotted on her, man. Wonder how he’s going to get over this one.”

“He should have fucked that whore,” Yao Kolo said. “At least his pain would have been justified.”

“Yao Kolo and kolo,” Randy said with a chuckle. “Kolovi will kill Yao Kolo one of these days! I’m sure your pops took one look at you when you were born and knew you were going to be a disciple of pussy. No wonder he named you kolo.”

“Aboabiba!” Yao Kolo said with a chuckle. “Your mother! Koshia!”
