Placing hands behind his head, he grinned with the look of satisfaction written all over him, as if he had just achieved a great feat.Only God knows who sent him on this ungodly mission.
Indeed he has succeeded in going into her. With the feeling of guilt, humiliation, she raised her hands up to God pleading for mercy.
Vengeance filled her heart. She went round looking for a weapon to use against him, got one eventually in the corner of the bathroom, properly forgotten by one of the cleaners.
"Hey, what are you busy doing?" He asked his eyes roving round to monitor her moves.
"I want to go back right now!" She announced, with determined look. Her eyes became dangerous and deadly.
"I have a mind of keeping you here for at least two days more, to satisfy my pleasure. You are sweet baby. Let's enjoy this for sometime. Come here on the bed for more." He declared in a relaxed manner, totally unaware of her plan.
"Haven't you done enough harm to my soul? Leave me alone!" She screamed.
"I thought it is to your body I inflicted harm. What has this got to do with your soul?" He mocked.
"Hmmm, can I ever forget the damage done to me? My heart bleeds more than my body. My body wracks with pain no doubt, but my soul is crying out for vengeance. Oh God of vengeance! Show yourself." She yelled clapping her hands, insanely.
"Oh no, you are damn too insane. Look at you! Too pathetic. Anyway, here is a gown I bought for you to cover up your body." He got up and opened the wardrobe, got a dress out of a polythene bag, threw at her in disgust.
Righteous quickly collected, thankful that she was able to have something to cover herself.
By the time she unwrapped, she saw it was a short dress. She wore it, and it only reached her knee. Her spirit dampened.
"You are the insane one here. I know that you are here to humiliate me. It's not your fault but mine."
"Of course, no one forced you to collect the money, and locate me. It was your decision, because you, my dear christian girl, loves money, men and, hmm, s*x. You are the biggest fool. Maybe I should not blame you but blame the woman who brought you out of this world and dump you on the rubbish bin."
"Ha, you are a beast." She cried out.
"Yes, I agree like your mom."
He started to laugh at her. At a time, she blocked her ears using her hands, because her heart was tearing apart.
Then without thinking, she rushed at the metal, she brought from the bathroom, and used it on his head several times. She saw blood oozing out from his head. She went close to the door, and opened it, she ran out. She went inside the lift and got to the reception. Anu was there waiting for her.
As soon as she got there, she stood up, raised her hands up in adoration.
She got hold of her and they left the hotel.
She never did say a word until they got to the hostel.
"I know a lot had happened right there. I wished I could help you. What happened to your dress, this one is strange."
Righteous held on to her, and wept her heart out. When she was done. She raised her head up and shook it again and again.
"I'm in trouble. I have just killed the man who forcefully slept with me."
"Noooo! This can't be? What do we do?God please help us to come out of this?" Anu shouted. She paced up and down with her hands on her head.
"Wait a minute! Let me call Barrister Babajide Badmus to help us." Anu stood still, recalled that she has a good lawyer to call for help.
"This is a murder case, Anu. I will go to jail. I will be killed." Righteous uttered crying again. Anu went and hugged her close to herself.
"Ha my bestie, you warned me. But I was too stubborn to listen to you. Carried away by my lust."
A knock on their hostel door, and Righteous jumped up out of fright.
"OMG! I'm done for. They have come to take me away!"
"No, it's not true. This is one of the students on campus." Anu had opened the door to ascertain who was there. It was one of the ladies who collected her books to copy.
Righteous calmed down a little bit but was still in fright. Her breathing became abnormal, trembling within, fears without, looking here and there. A little noise, she jumps.
Righteous could not sleep throughout the night. She kept on tossing on the bed. She was able to catch a little sleep around four in the morning of the following day.
She woke up later around seven with swollen face, and an aching body.
"Can you please relax your nerves, for Christ sake. Let me go to the common room to get pasta and other stuff for our use this morning. Thank God, it's Saturday. You can go to the clinic to get some drugs for your body." Anu told her.
As Anu entered the common room, the place where girls converge to relax and eat food, the television sets were on for the ladies to enjoy.
One of her friends shouted.
"Hey Anu, come over here! Come and see this handsome dude, that took a lady to the hotel, the lady hit him with a strong metal on the head. Awesome! I don't know why he didn't die."
"Which hotel ? Where is the man?" Anu demanded, rushing over to her.
Anu saw him and screamed out! Everyone turned to look at her. She had to calm herself.
"Do you know the guy?"
"Hey girl, take it easy."
"No ,No please! I'm only shocked that the man looking so hot like this is a rapist." She shouted for everyone to hear her voice.
"Have you ascertain that he is?" Someone asked. Before she could respond, another lady replied.
"Of course yes, he is. The lady did it in self defense, no doubt."
"Hmmm, the idiot is alive" Another yelled and hissed.
Anu couldn't buy anything again. She knew it was the same hotel. She quietly stole away to the room.
