WE BOTH DIED AT THE END
CHAPTER 13
(THE WRONG TRUTH)
“Good evening Sir!”
Suzan said while trying to close the door behind her.
“Good evening and what can I do for you?”
“Well…”
“Sir, she is the Suzan” I cut in
“Oh! That’s great then but please can Kate continue what she wanted to say?”
Kate looked at me and then she looked at Suzan (smiled). She explained everything I told her about that night. I was happy that I have a witness but little did I know that a mistake was being formed and that mistake made the whole case scatter.
The lecturer was shocked to hear the part of human bodies.
“Suzan did you do that?” He asked her while we all were looking at her.
“I can swear to God in heaven and with my father’s grave that I have never done that before. Sir, sincerely, they are both lying”
I was shocked to hear all of that from Suzan. My jaw dropped. What the hell is she talking about? I turned and looked at Kate but her face was blank. Did Suzan just denied all of that?
“I was told you wore Precious clothes to go do your dirty deals. Is that correct?”
“Sir, they are both liers. Of cause we have the same kind of clothes but why would I wear her own when she had her name customized on it? In fact Sir, I have some witnesses to bail me out of this trouble”
“Really?”
“Yes Sir”
“Aah Suzan? What are you talking about? Were you not the one that went out that night and I had to follow you because I was beginning to suspect you? Suzan I saw everything that happened that night. I had to tell Kate the next day because it was beyond my believe.
(Tears were beginning to fall from my cheeks) If you were not the one doing those dirty things, how were you able to get all the money you spend? How?”
The lecturer was just looking at both of us while Kate stood very quiet and wasn’t looking at anyone in particular.
“I don’t do dirty deals. In fact, let me call my witness that I was with them on that night before they escorted me back home that night”
She took her phone from her bag and then made a phone call. We couldn’t hear what the other side was saying but from her response, it shows that they were on their way to the school.
I stood and was in deep tears and then Kate came close to me and was calming me. Suzan was just making faces at us.
What did I do wrong to deserve this kind of treatment from Suzan? All I did was to be a better friend to her since her roommate died.
I made sure she was fine. I thought we were cool and I never knew that she was just trying to use me. I was looking at her but there was no remorse on her facial expression and that wounded my heart the more.
I was sent to study and get good grades and become a better person in the society so that I can help my parents but just look at where I am now.
While we were standing, Suzan’s phone beeped. She checked it and then left the office only to come back with some people.
I looked at them and I was shocked to see some new faces but one face stood out and that was the face of the old man that collected the leather bags from them.
My jaw dropped and I noticed Kate was looking at me.
“Why is your mouth opened?” She whispered to me
“That old man was the one that collected the bags from them that night” I whispered back
“I understand what she is trying to do but let’s just watch what will happen”
The old man was offered a seat and then after all the greetings, the talk began.
“Sir, I came because Suzan here is like a daughter to me and she told me what is happening and so I decided to come over to let you know that Suzan is a good girl and I’m always proud of her (he paused and looked down) so I can categorically tell you that everything that has been said against her is totally wrong”
“Well, is it through that she was with you on that night in which Precious saw her?”
“Yes, she was with us and were having a dinner together. In fact, my boys here escorted her back to her hostel that night”
The lecturer raised his head and looked at me but tears was just flowing from my eyes.
“Alright Sir! I’ve heard you and sorry for bringing an elderly person like you all the way here”
“No problem, I just don’t like seeing innocent people suffering for something they know nothing about”
“It’s ok Sir. I understand”
And so the old man and the two got up and as they were about to open the door, the old man stopped and turned back.
“Mr. Lecturer” he called out
“Yes Sir”
“I don’t know whether Suzan told you but she usually complain to me about her roommate who always goes out at night. Maybe you should ask her about it”
“Please what was the name of the roommate she told you about?”
“Eeen… It’s Precious. Yea, Precious is the name and that. Good day Mr. Lecturer”
He opened the door and left and that was when I realized that I’m doomed.
