Chapter thirty six
Dave POV
This is the end for me.
"Let go of me. I don't know what you are talking about!" I yelled.
"You don't know what I'm talking about right? I'll remind you." He said.
He dragged me towards the shop of the man I just stole water from.
"Ouch!" He shouted, holding his head.
"Why you little!" He said to me with his hand lifted high and about to land on my face.
"Ouch!" He shouted again.
"Who is throwing stones at me?! Reveal yourself!" He added in a louder voice.
"You!" He said, glaring at me.
"You know who is doing this right?!" He shouted at me, waiting for a confession from me.
"No! I don't! Just let me go!" I replied.
"Never! You will dance to me tunes this time. And you will also confess where that boy who stole my money and pretended to help you is!" He yelled.
My eyes widened in surprise. So he knows?
"You think I won't find out that he stole my money and pretended to have paid for the bread? Ha ha ha, you fool! I found out as soon as you two left." Now come here!" He said.
This time I was able to see it. Maybe because it was big. The stone flew over my head and landed hard on the head of the man holding me.
I felt his grip loosen as he shouts in pain.
"Run Dave!" A voice said and I turned to see it was Oliver.
He has been there the whole time and that too throwing stones at the man.
I removed my hand from that of the man's and took to my heels.
"Come back here you bastard!" He said.
I suddenly stopped in my tracks. I didn't look back to see he man's face.
"Yes! You heard me! You bastard! You're just a common thief! I'm sure that if your parents were alive they would be ashamed of you!" He said.
"Dave! What are you doing?! You have to run! We have to go!" Oliver said.
I slowly turned to the man.
"What did you just say?!" I yelled.
The man was already very close to me. He came closer and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Come on Dave! Let's just go! Don't do anything you will regret. Let's run." Oliver said.
"You heard me right!" The man said.
I don't know where the strength came or how it happened but I gave the man the punch of his life.
He fell to the ground with his lips and nose bleeding a lot.
The man then tried to stand up but then I grabbed his collar and gave it to him.
Oliver came close and managed to calm me down. He dragged me away from from the man and managed to get me to run away with him.
The man was left there on the floor with bruises all over his face and body.
We ran so fast the we could hear our hearts beating so loudly.
We finally reached the uncompleted building and stopped to take in some air.
"What happened back there?" Oliver asked after managing to control his breathing.
"I don't know. But that man. That man insulted my parents. He insulted me." I replied.
"You went totally crazy. I never knew you had that in you. You almost killed that man." Oliver said.
"Now I'm sure that I'm ready to face my enemies. That fight has turned the spark in me into a flaming fire. I'm ready for my revenge." I said.
"Revenge? What's all that about?" Oliver asked.
"Revenge! Against the man that caused me this pain! The same man that took my mother away from me!" I said.
"What ever this supposed man you speak of did must have been very terrible for you to hate him till now." Oliver said.
"How would you feel if a man you took as your friend, a man who has helped you and your mother in almost everything, that same man..." I said.
"What did that same man do?" Oliver asked.
"If that same man had led your mother to her death!" I said.
Oliver stood speechless.
"Wait... You mean that this man pretended to be your friend and he helped you and your mom only so he could kill her?" He asked.
"He did all that so he could sleep with my mother, and when she refused he made me suffer at work." I said.
"He killed your mother because she didn't want to sleep with him?" Oliver asked.
"No! Oliver! No! He raped my mother! He raped her and gave her her ticket to death! He gave her money for abortion and she died during the abortion!" I yelled.
"What?! Dave... But... What about your dad?" Oliver asked.
"He died long time ago... I have no one in this world. My best friend Hilton is abroad, my parents are dead, damn it! I have no one! And this man had to take everything? He took my mother. My mother was my world." I said.
"That man deserves no mercy at all. I'm right behind you in any decision you take." Oliver said in a bold manner.
"No. It's my fight. I'm not dragging anyone into this. I will take revenge on my own." I said.
I went into the uncompleted building and sat on the already spread mat.
"I must prepare myself for the future." I said.
I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
