DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
part 149's
Still Devan.
"Yeahhhh!!"
Oh naw. What have I done?
I froze. Did I shoot wrong?
All gazes were fixed on the father who was chained down below. One second later the burly man behind my father collapsed. Dad raised his head. I let out a sigh of relief. If I misfire, not only will Carnation be mad at me, but Daniel will hate me too! And also Samuel might kill me on the spot!
Police coming. The old man snatched the weapon from Daniel's hand and ran the other way with Daniel in his arms. Some cops are after them.
Samuel came closer and hit the back of my head hard.
"If you want to shoot open your eyes!" samuel shouted in annoyance.
"What?!! You shot with your eyes closed?! You want to kill me!!" shouted the father who was also approaching towards me. His face looks angry.
"What if I didn't escape? You want to make my son an orphan?" ask me equally upset. I threw the gun to the ground. My hands trembled violently, glancing in fear at father.
"I'm sorry dad! I-I didn't mean it!" my answer.
"DAD!!" father and Samuel said in a compact manner. They then ran after Daniel who was still in the sandraan.
Anye approached me and grabbed me.
"Aren't you pa-pa Dev?" he asked with worry.
"As you can see!" I smiled a little. "Help me after Daniel!"
"I've almost died once, and this just a shot in the foot is unlikely to kill me this time!" my spoken. Anye looked at me with a look... I don't know.
"Please. As your father and Samuel said. I suck! But I don't want to look bad in my son's eyes!" anye's eyes glazed over, she nodded and then swept me towards where Daniel might be.
We're on the roof. Several police officers were preparing to fire their guns at the old man. They re-negotiated, asking him to release Daniel.
He screams for nothing. Maybe he didn't want to let go of Daniel at all. He pointed his gun at Daniel's head, and walked backwards. This three-story building is quite tall, if he threw Daniel would have been hurt, or for his tiny body size he might not have survived!
A few minutes of tension. Anye cried looking at Daniel who just resigned. His face was pale, he closed his eyes not daring to look down. Dad and some cops keep negotiating. Try not to have any more casualties in this incident.
He yelled.
"Peach you! Or you'll see this kid's body down there!" He's gone mad! He laughed loudly, swung his hand and threw Daniel down. Anye yelled to let go of me running towards where the criminal was, but that woman's pace wasn't fast enough to hold the criminal back?
I ran ahead of Anye, forgetting the pain in my leg. Plunged down, hoping I could catch Daniel.
Daniel's eyes closed, then a second later he opened his eyes as I shouted to his name. My little hand managed to get. I hugged him tightly. I turned my body into his shield. Her body was warm but trembling.
"Father!" This time I heard him call me Papa. It sounds so beautiful.
Anye and dad, seen extending their hands up there that definitely won't reach me.
Anye, I'm sorry. If only I had never been evil with you. None of this is going to happen. Daniel forgive papa, for all your faults are with you and your mama.
"Devaaannn!!" the screams were no longer heard!
