Must Read: Heart Code By Ele - Season 1 - Episode 14

*Dija D Devil Diva*

Lia narrates

I was woken up to the constant ringing of my phone. I had to get up reluctantly to pick it up. I checked to see the caller and was surprised to see MUMMY ELE CALLING , I was so surprised because she has never called since she collected my number, I knew something was definitely amiss. I looked at my wristwatch on the side stool and discovered it was almost 11am. Ooooppsss!, I had overslept. Without much ado, I picked up the call.

Me: Hello ma, good morning ma, greeted respectfully
Mummy Ele: Morning my daughter, how are you?, sounds like you’re just waking up.
Me: I’m fine ma, yes ma, I just woke up guess my voice says it all, I said enthusiastically.
Mummy Ele: Have you seen or heard from my son since yesterday?
Me: No ma
Mummy Ele: he didn’t come home yesterday. Dija said he stayed he stayed over at your place when called her yesterday night but neither her number nor my son’s number has gone through since 5am this morning when I started trying it. I’m deeply worried.
Me: I’m sorry ma, I’ll try to call his number then contact you if I get any from or about him.
Mummy Ele: Thank you so much my daughter, may God bless you.
Me: Amen!, its nothing ma.
Mummy Ele: bye for now my daughter, take care of yourself, maybe I’ll give my son to you, will you marry him despite his big head she said laughing for the first time since the conversation began.
Me: hahahaaa mum…m..y
Mummy Ele: By for now my daughter.
Me: bye ma
And she hung up the call. Almost immediately I heard my mom voice banging on my door, asking me to open. I obliged as mom rushed in to jack my night gown.
“How on earth did you get involved in a murder’s case?, what did you do yesterday night?”, my mom ask shedding tears. Some police men are here to take you away, so change up. I stood still without moving still yet to recover from the shock.

“Be fast”, my mom screamed in tears which I obeyed as I changed from my pyjamas to a short blue gown before following my mum out.
We got to the parlour to see daddy in hot argument with the police men who were waiting outside.

“You still haven’t told us why you’re taking her away, why would you from nowhere to accuse my daughter of an unknown crime?”, my dad was taking to no officer in particular.

They didn’t seem to have time for his nagging as they walked me into their waiting van. My dad and mum insisted to come with me as they both hopped into the van with me as it zoomed off.

Ele narrates

I was thrown into another kind of cell different from the one i slept last night about five hours now. A bigger smaller cell but I was how the only prisoner there and I couldn’t fathom why.

I was so surprised to find out Dija was a minister’s daughter and I entered a minister’s house. Everything felt like a dream, everything that has happened in less than 24 hours, from Queency’s hugging a guy to my birthday party being ruined, to being put in the police net back to back. God if only I could escape this kasala.

My mind flashed back to the kiss and hug Dija gave me, how she took the hit for me, all the other help she has rendered that has gone unnoticed by me. I then realised how much I’ve been treating her like a recluse. Dija definitely had a thing for me or she could be doing it for friendship purpose. Dunno what think. I just pray she survive because that’s the only way I could survive. Its a known fact the dead cannot talk. I began to sing flavor’s song, SPECIAL ONE out loud. Who cares? Since I’m all alone here.

They can say what they wanna say
They can do what they wanna do
What we share is supernatural
And its real

In fact its been written from the start,
That you and I would never part
What we share is supernatural
And its true
When you call my name
Ill be there with you
I’ll be your helping hands
I’ll never let you down
Come rain, come sun
My love will still remain
Because I’ve found the special one
Oh yes I’ve found the special one
Its you
The song made my thought drifted to one of the assassin’s message purportedly from Queency, I LOVE WITH PASSION AND I HATE WITH PASSION. I couldn’t still remember anything I did aside walking out on her and her misconception of th scenario where she saw Dija and I. Oluwa will take control, I prayed hopefully.

Just then, a scream of my name jolted me out of my reverie. I didn’t notice I was being called up by two of officers because I had drifted deep into the world of soliloquies.

“You nah dey hear word again, nah small remain, I for don nack you this condo for head, see him big head , nothing dey there, no wonder dem dey accuse you for murder, you better wise up”, a handsome average height police officer vomited his frustration on me as I kept mute.
“Wetin you still dey do for ground abi you dey enjoy this place?, get up and follow me now”, the handsome police officer ordered as I followed him and his colleague to the counter.

On getting to the counter, I met Queency behind the counter too to my greatest surprise.

She wanted to say something but i wouldn’t hear any of it as I boned my face like someone who was high on ROM overdose. I looked up and saw Queency’s parent along with mine. We both bend our head down in shame.

“You’re free to go!, the real murders has been caught!, the D.P.O said while Queency and I looked distraught and confused as to what happened. Queency and I were giving our belongings as we left we our different parents who kept malice with each other as our mother’s wept.
I saw as Queency’s dad tried to start up a conversation but my daddy acted like he was seeing a statue. I wouldn’t blame him, which father would be happy with a culprit who attempted to murder his only begotten son.
Queency and i both signed some unnecessary documents, along with our parents before we left for our different home.

Khadijat narrates

I was laughing out loud with Auto in the ICU ward. Our mission was complete. I couldn’t believe such things could work till I put it to practice. When I first suggested using the blood of a pig, Auto, Manual and the rest of the team laughed at me. We successfully carried out the plan after much practice. All Manual did was stab the place I had the nylon of pig’s blood strapped to my back several times and not only Ele but my parents who came unexpectedly were fooled. We already arranged with the police to take special care of Ele and frame some other hoodlums for the case.
I got the doctor to my side by threatening to reveal some illegal abortion case which he did leading to death of victims of which almost no one was aware of. I had ordered him not to allow anyone see me for at least a week to make our little show more convincing.
“Who am I?” I asked standing up arms akimbo.

“Dija D Devil Diva”, Manual and Auto replied with smiles beaming all over their faces.
“Who am i?”, I asked once again in a high pitched voice.
“Dija D Devil Diva”, they chorused in simultaneously.
Satisfied with my deserved praise, “how’s Ledan”, I proceeded to ask about Ele’s dad.
“I’m sorry I forgot to tell you but something came up, we found a boy almost half dead, he said his name was Duno, he delivered a poison called Arsenic to Ledan while Ledan attempted to kill him but didn’t succeed because he thought Duno would not survive the stabbing”, Auto explained.

“What the Hades?”, I remarked in immense anger, “you knew of such an important issue all this while but didn’t tell me”, I said looking at both who were both face down.
“We are sorry ma”, they both said simultaneously.

“Sorry won’t solve the issue, must I dictate everything for you?”, you guys should try to use your brains for once”, I remarked angrily while they both stayed silent.

“Lia and her family is in danger!, I won’t kill my besty for a guy, I want her to be alive to see how I’ll take what rightfully belongs to me, that’s true victory”, I said.
“Yes ma’am”, they replied.

“Here’s what you will do!”, I said as they they came closer to take the instruction.
“Wow!, what a stupendous idea ma’am”, you’re so full of surprises, education is not the true test of knowledge, you’re a true novelty, a rarity indeed”, Auto said on reaction to my novel idea.
“Enough of the praises, hurry up and save Lia and her family please”, I ordered as they left in haste.

Ledan narrates

I waited for Akande house girl to meet me at the planned location an uncompleted building close to the place I had met deceased Duno days ago.

She was a brown skinned 19 years old girl who was a beauty to behold. She had come to work for the Akande late last year in order to make enough money to further her education. I had a hard time convincing her so i had to hold her bro hostage who was her only surviving family member before she could succumb to my biddings. I sighted Rhoda from afar, in no time she got to where I was.

“Good evening sir, please is my brother okay?”, she asked in a concerned voice coupled with a worried look.

“He will be alright as long as you do as you’re told, either your bro die or they die”, I replied her threateningly.
“I’ve done what you asked me Sir, I’ve poisoned their food, please don’t hurt my brother, he’s all I got, you can hurt me instead”, she replies pleadingly.
I figured out it was time to carry the next part of my plan, something I had fantasized about for a while.
“Hope no one knows of this thing you’re doing?”, I asked in a commanding tone.
“No sir, I swear to God, only you and i know”, Rhoda replied.
“Come here Rhoda”, I requested as she naively came closer. I dragged her roughly to a corner of the room in the uncompleted building, pushed her to the floor, and had forceful canal knowledge of her as she pleaded and struggled to no avail since she was no match for me in strength. After I had satisfied my lustful pleasure I gave her Rohypnol so she would forget everything that happened.

Lia narrates

Mom served us the food Rhoda had cook in the morning after she had warmed it. We sat down around the dining table staring at our food each of us unable to look at each others eyes.
“Let’s eat!”, dad finally broke the silence for the first time since we left the station this morning.

Thanks for your comments.
I’m sincerely grateful.
May God Bless us all.
