Becka

It was quite difficult settling in. Becka had never been the one to follow routine. She was time cautious but did not like doing the same thing over and over again. It was overwhelmingly boring. Only comforting thing here was that there was a library and a phone booth she could use to talk to her mum. She called her any chance she got to assure her that she was okay . Knowing her mum too well. They got each other. Her dad was more like a burden both of them had to bear. She totally resented her dad. Often, she would wonder how such an egocentric man could be her dad. She had inherited his looks and for that there was surety. A few days down the line, her mum would be allowed to come visit her. It almost felt like back in high school, only now her mum was not coming with any goodies and hard work was a prevalent practice here.

She also had been lucky and was really counting her blessings on this.  When the warden had opened the dorm like house with cubicles holdings, her bunkmate was not in. It was until the evening she realized her bunkmate was Hazel Grace. Her illegitimate cousin. She had known she was in an approved school but hadn’t known which one. It was a bit of a relief meeting someone she knew. She might have changed but she hoped it was not much

. She needed someone who could have her back while she had hers.

She had tried getting through to Kim, but he was always offline or the calls went straight to voicemail. It was relieving partly because she really didn’t know what to say. After all, she had killed his girlfriend.

When summoned by the warden, she wondered what she had done wrong. Not following rules earned people a lot of lashes in there. It was best for her to follow rules because she was allergic to canes. She really hoped she had done nothing wrong. The warden opened the office for her and she entered. No one was there. 

She waited.

*****************

Kim

He felt a lot of anger burning in him. He was angry at himself and Becka. Even though Becka was the one who murdered Antonina, he felt responsible. He felt guilty for wanting to break free from her. He could have instead spent more time with her. What if it came to a time he had to move on? Would Antonina’s spirit haunt her, wanting him to stay and never let go. 

He shuddered at the thought.

In his culture, the dead had to be appeased.  If anything was done to upset them, they would haunt you to death, to your last bit. 

He kept repeating the word am sorry Tony in his mind. He loved her but it was not enough. He felt love for Antonina but just like he would do to a sister. It made him feel so bad. Ian would think he was crazy for loving someone else other than Tony. This did not mean Tony deserved to die. He was going to make sure that her death was avenged.

Who could have known Becka was such a heartless monster? She did not think for a moment how this would affect him, she did not think about Antonina’s future nor about her parents.

Was she jealous? That would be ridiculous. She was a genius at class, her parents were wealthy than all their parents combined and she was one beauty to behold. She had her boyfriend, Ian. Though lame she was still 16, potential soul mates were out there. 

Or maybe she did not do it. 

All the evidence pointed towards her.

This should be a very bad dream. One he would wake up on the floor sweating and find everything was intact. Tony would be still alive. He kept dancing in the whirl pool of thoughts until he reached those tall, white and high walls. He did not feel anxious at all. At least he was doing something for Antonina. He might have not been able to save her, but he wouldn’t let her death go unpunished.

BECKA

Almost ten minutes passed. Nobody had shown up. She was on the verge of standing when someone opened the door. Kim stood there, looking frail but determined. He was standing face to face with Antonina’s murderer. He moved close to her, then opened his arms as if to embrace her. Becka not knowing what to do, clouded by mixed emotions ran into his arms. 

With one swing Kim had her in a chock hold. Then squeezed her neck tight, tighter than it was comfortable. She was definitely choking.

“Kim… I can’t breathe.”

“Kim….”

Just then the door opened. The guard Becka had conversed with earlier that week opened the door.

Read " So We Got Married " by the same author ( DORSILA ANYANGO )

. He came in after spotting Kim’s car on the parking lot. Kim had no business here so he had followed up and saw him going into this particular room. He came in and managed to separate an unconscious Becka from an overly angered Kim. Becka was wheeled away to the infirmary.

“My God Kim, you could have killed her. What were you thinking?’

Kim was still angry. He was shaking and clenching his fist. Looking at the door through which Becka had been wheeled out. He had been so close. He did not care the price he had to pay for what might have happened. He just wanted revenge.

“I don’t know officer, but….’

“But?”

Kim walked out and was surprised to see Cindy on the hall way.

“You seem to be in a bad shape, let me drive you home.”

Kim meekly obeyed and handed over his car keys to her.
