In Search For My Twin - Episode 18

 

Faruk had injuries all over, looked so pale like a ghost and he had been starving for four days. I wondered which human being would do such a thing to the other. My hatred towards dad increased day by day. I still can't believe his my dad. His all yours madam said Jack smiling and took some steps backwards. I pulled faruk by the ears leaned towards him and whispered," better play this game or you may never get out alive" . He groaned in pain and I could hear Jack laugh satisfactorily.  

He left me with faruk in the room and I quickly got my phone out and dialled Nancy who picked up immediately.  It's now Nancy come in from the behind door of the green building I said almost a whisper. We helped faruk and I told Nancy to leave immediately because we never know what might happen next. I went back inside and as I was locking the basement door Jack came back. 

I silently prayed he doesn't open to check and yes he didn't check . I faked up a smile and left. Nancy had taken faruk to nsambya hospital as the plan and I joined them. We stayed with him untill night time. I had to go back home and let imara come over to the hospital.  We had agreed not to let anyone know about imara apart from those who already knew.

. We decided I go with Vick and Nancy to go with immy. I went home with Nancy and their maid came to welcome us in. 

I didn't answer as I faked a very sick face in fear she might question my accent. Everything were the same r except for our accents. Vick took me to immy's room and oh God I became speechless.  Her room was the size of my full house in the village, inside was a king sized bed, a very big and neatly arranged closet, there was a bathroom with a big bathtub, a make-up table with all types of make-up a table with a chair in the corner and a small table beside her bed. 

Her room was decorated mostly with purple and on her was a beautiful purple duvet with white flowers.  I was still admiring the room then I had a male voice on the door,"my princess may I come in " I quickly jumped into the bed and Vick covered me as she went to open the door.

How is she?  He asked coming near the bed. She just fell asleep replied Vick.  He extended his hand and touched my forehand I think he was checking temperature.  I wanted to scream,  put away his hand away from me but thank God I managed to control my temper. He covered me again and left . Oh God what can do that will hurt this man the he did to the people I love the most I said to myself.  I later received a message from immy updating us on what's going on . I was happy faruk was taken to the hospital but I wanted to make this man pay. I swear to my mom's name I will make you suffer I vowed deep in my heart. 

Later that night we made sure I sneaked out and immy entered without the gateman and the maid noticing.  I went and stayed with faruk in the hospital.  I was both happy and sad. Whenever I saw him in pain while being nursed I swore to myself to take revenge.

Two days later I got a call from dad ordering me to go to his office. My heart beat so fast because I knew what was going on. I found dad and Jack both boiling with range. As soon as I entered my dad grabbed me by the neck saying , where is he? Tell me now or you will know who I am. I started choking, I couldn't breathe properly and I felt like he was taking out my life. Is this my dad? Has it reached to this extent?  I was crying bitterly as millions of thoughts rushed into my head. I said please let me go you're killing me I said. He made me sit down on the floor and asked , WHERE IS HE .? Who I managed to say. The guy who was locked up in the basement. Which basement I asked at this time I knew this man is worse than a beast and I hated him with passion. 

I don't know what you're talking about I cried. You were the last one with him.Jack added . I stood up and I said bravely and angrily,"I have been on the trip for my research and I only came back two days back while I was sick,  it has been more than a week ever since I came to the company so how can I know what you two are talking about. Who is the man? Where is the basement and why was he there?  They both looked at me especially dad who never knew I could ever raise my voice to him. 

Yes that day she was home with me he said. No she came here Jack said . Dad looked at me and then at Jack and said whoever helped him out ,I will deal with them even if its you immy.
