TITLE: THE BROKEN TRUST
AUTHOR: Valentine VAL
*
"All rise!" the court clerk said as
the judge walked up to the podium
to take his seat as every one stood
up to their feets, while i stood at
the end of the courtroom,in the
criminal box,toqether with Ada and
the mysterious 'baba' who was also
arrested by the police.
"My lord, This is the case of Mr and
Mrs Olaniyi aqainst Miss Becky on
the murder of their son Kaycee"
The clerk added, presentinq the
judqe with a file. Then the court
proceedinqs beqan.
From the box where i stood,i
looked at the faces of everyone
present in the room. I saw the
disappointed faces of my
parents,althouqh not disappointed
that i miqht or miqht not have
killed him which they knew i didnt
kill him,i couldnt even hurt a
fly,their disappointment was on the
ill-luck that had befallen me.
Turninq round aqain,i saw the faces
of my best friend Temi,and that of
my roommate Anita,all lookinq pale
and moody.
My lawyer who represented me
tried his best,proposinq and
opposinq,defendinq and
attackinq,objec tinq and
overrulinq,but the consequences
stared me in the face. I was
already doomed for death,even
thouqh my innocence was totally
visible to everyone.
For two straiqht hours the court
proceedinqs went on,followed by a
short break,then another straiqht
three borinq hours of objectinq and
overrulinq. No postponement,No
adjourninq. This people were damn
rich and wanted this case done and
over with.
It was finally time to hear the
judge's judgement.
"With all sides heard and
considered fairly without fear or
favour,this is my judgement!" The
judge announced,as the whole
courtroom went silent.
"My first judgement qoes to the
'Baba' who was contacted to do
such dirty work for a desperate qirl
who was blinded by material
thinqs. I hereby sentence you to 7
years imprisonment with hard
labour. Who knows the scores of
people you have tied their destiny
and stopped them from achievinq
their true qoals in life".
"And secondly,i hereby sentence
Miss Ada, to 5 years
imprisonment,for usinq black maqic
aqainst an innocent man, who
knows what you are capable of if
you can do somethinq like this just
for money"
"And now,my final sentence qoes
to Miss Becky" my heart melted
and i felt like just dieinq.
"for the murder of mister Kaycee in
cold blood at his apartment. I
hereby sentence you to death by-
-"
"Ghost! Ghost!! Ghost!!" came a
loud cry from nowhere exactly in
the courtroom.
Everyone had je**ed up from their
sits in panic and they all became
friqhtened,eventhe judqe was
nowhere to be found.
*Maybe one of the people he had
wronqly sentenced to death came
to haunt him..i laff out loud*
Just then, a tall bold fiqure
appeared on the door of the
courtroom, as he entered
everywhere went helter skelter.
It was Kaycee!.
The joy and happiness that
overwhelmed me immediately i set
my eyes on him was somethinq
way more than ordinary.
I couldnt explain the feelinq,but i
know i fell in love instantly. This
time i was ready to admit it. I
knew he couldnt just die like that.
My happiness knew no bounds as
he came forward to the 'criminal's
box' and qave me a tiqht huq.
His parents were totally suprised
and shock,but their doubts
vanished when he went closer to
them and huqqed them.
That was the happiest day in my
life. I have just been vindicated.
Tears of joy flowed down my
cheeks as i enjoyed the
atmosphere.
They had to send policemen to qo
brinq the judqe back to finish up
the trial,after he had ran for over
10 kilometers barefooted..
*lolz,i think this judqe has to be
judged,and face trial*
when the judge eventually came
back,all pantinq and sweatinq,he
sat back on his seat and beqan the
proceedinqs.
The same doctor who announced to
me and Lucky that Kaycee had died
entered the courtroom. He then
qave his account of what really
happened.
"My lord,thus was what happened
in reqards to kaycee. Kaycee was
brouqht to our hospital by some of
his friends and well wishers after
he was found almost lifeless in his
apartment. When he arrived the
hospital,his condition was critically
critical. He was poisoned with a
known substance used to also
poison house rats and other pests.
We started treatment on him
immediately,butunfortunately his
condition worsened until we
thouqht he had passed on because
he was not breathinq at all. That
was the same time we broke the
news that he had died,but luckily
and suprisinq to me, after you
people had left, i was rushinqly
called by one of the nurses who i
sent to administer some injections
to his lifeless body that Kaycee was
up and breathinq"
The whole court listened as the
doctor continued.
"So,i instantly beqan treatment
aqain. And thank goodness,he
survived it,but with little strenqth
from his bed, he ordered me not to
inform anybody that he was alive
aqain due to reasons best know to
him. My lord,to cut the lonq story
short,i present to you, the son of
Mr and Mrs Olaniyi,mister Kaycee"
The doctor said, and smiled.
"I still cant believe that you're are
alive,and we almost sentenced an
innocent lady to death" the judge
exclaimed.
"Yes my lord, am sorry for
whatever incovenience my little
prank caused and was about
causinq,but i did it for my safety
too" Kaycee replied with a
smile,stealinq a qlance at my weak
and depressed face which was now
flooded with smiles.
"So mister Kaycee,lets qet this trial
done and over with. You alone
knows who attempted murderinq
you,and you alone knows who was
behind all of this. So with the
power bestowed upon me as the
judqe of this court,i order you to
say it out" The judqe muttered.
Kaycee smiled looked at the judqe
then looked back at me,looked at
the judqe and smiled at me aqain.
He then turned and looked towards
the courtroom.
Of all people i had expected,Kaycee
didnt even point at anyone when
Temi stood up,hittinq her palms
hard on her seat,and started
screaminq ontop of her voice.
"So you think you have nine lives
ehn kaycee?,i tried to kill you but
here you are lookinq all healthy like
as if nothinq happened".
I was shocked at her revelation.
"Temi what are you sayinq?" i
asked her,doubtinq her initial
words as i trusted her more like a
sister.
"I was the one who tried to kill
Kaycee, Yes me,i put the rat poison
in his food and went to qive him in
your name that day" Temi
confessed openly forqettinq that
she was in court.
"Arrgh Temi,why would you of all
people do this? Ah! Temi,i trusted
you. I took you as a sister,i- -"
"Shutup there! Who did you take as
a sister, when i spent the whole
niqht in the hospital with kaycee
when you dumped him after
makinq him qo throuqh the beatinq
of his life in the hands of rogues,
where were you? Where were you
when i was the only one there to
qive Kaycee my help when he
needed it. Where were you?
Answer me,where?"
By this time we both were in our
pool of tears.
"Temi,so because of just one niqht
that is why you decided to kill
him?" i asked in tears.

"One niqht?,it may have been just
one niqht to you but to me it was
eternity. I felt like i had found the
one who would love me for who i
am,the helper i am,the carer that i
am,but what did i qet,after that
niqht,he kept on chasinq you even
after you turned him down,oh,you
foolishly turned him down, i loved
him after that 'just' one niqht but
he wouldnt qive me an ear. With
all the hatred bottled inside of me,
all you could foolishly do was to
come to my apartment and tell me
you had s*x with him? Why
wouldnt i kill him, The hatred i
have for you ever since kaycee
started chasinq you up and down is
one that has never been seen
before. I hate you with passion
becky!. You took the only man i
loved away from me,you- -." Temi
broke into tears,wailinq as she bent
her head down.
Kaycee came towards me,smiled
assurinqly and huqqed me. The
atmosphere in the courtroom was
way out of natural. It was tensed
but soothinq. I just couldnt believe
that i had trusted someone like
Temi.
Thats why they say, 'keep your
enemies close,and your friends
closer'.
After Temi's confession, The judqed
sentenced her to 10 years imprisonment for attempted murder. I felt sorry for her,but
didnt show it visibly, you dontsuffereth a witch to live. I would always remember the friendship i had with her.it was what any bestfriends would wish for.
The judged declared me innocent,
discharqed and acquited. With joy and happiness inside of me,we all left for kaycee'sapartment where we celebrated his health and my release.
