Ife suddenly started experiencing stomach pain.
The pain became serious enough that Shola had to rush her to the hospital
With everything that had been happening between him, Ife, and Moyin, this was another problem he had to deal with.
After taking Ife to the hospital, Shola eventually headed back with her.
But they had no idea what was waiting for them.
On their way, they were kidnapped.
Omo, things just kept getting worse!
After everything they had already been through, they now had to worry about their own safety.
Being kidnapped was not something either of them had prepared for, and they had to find a way to escape.
Fortunately, they eventually managed to run away.
But escaping their kidnappers wasn't the end of their troubles. They were still on the road, trying to find their way to safety, when they encountered a group of Hausa people.
Now, remember Shola?
This was a man who had grown up hating Hausa people because of something terrible that had happened to his family when he was younger.
His hatred had stayed with him for years, shaping the way he saw an entire ethnic group.
Yet, in this moment, he and Ife needed help.
And the people they encountered were Hausa.
The same group of people Shola had spent years hating were the ones who came to their rescue.
They helped them when they needed it most, without allowing Shola's past experiences or his personal prejudices to define how they treated him.
Imagine that.
Sometimes, life puts us in situations that challenge everything we believe.
Shola had carried his hatred for years, but here he was, receiving kindness from the very people he had judged.
Eventually, Shola and Ife made it home safely.
After everything that had happened, they must have been relieved to finally return home.
They had escaped their kidnappers and encountered people who had helped them when they were vulnerable.
But when they got home, something was wrong.
Moyin was nowhere to be found.
They looked around, expecting to find her, but she wasn't there.
Confused, they asked their neighbour about her whereabouts.
And the neighbour told them something they weren't expecting.
The police had taken Moyin away the previous day.
Just imagine returning home after everything you've experienced, only to discover that another serious situation has unfolded in your absence.
Shola and Ife immediately rushed to the police station.
They needed to know what had happened to Moyin and why the police had taken her away.
But what they were about to hear would leave Shola devastated.
Because while he had been busy trying to keep his secret buried, the truth about Ahmad's death had finally begun to come out.
And this time, there was no promise he could make to stop it.
To be continued…...
