The doctor and nurses are running frantically through the hospital aisle,
down the lobby and through other available paths scaring other patients and
family. A man with an acid bath might be losing his life and since the owner of the specialist hospital and doctor
had vowed that they would never allow a soul die an avoidable death in their hospital this year, they didn’t want to leave anything to chance.
(viewers discretion advised)
This is Kunle’s story, as told by his girlfriend Janet (not real
names) who contacted mikeatols blog last month with her boyfriend’s story and
the series of avoidable plot that led to the dastard act of pouring a cup full
of raw concentrated acid into his boyfriend’s face and body.
Janet first saw Kunle in their convocation event back in
University of Ibadan. He is a tall black guy with an infectious smile and
hoards of girls flocking around him on the convocation ground. He was obviously
the ladies’ man because of the way the ladies giggled and laughed around him as
he cracked them up. Janet instantly felt something deep inside of her for this
total stranger and as quick as possible, she pushed the feelings away as fast
as it came. At the convocation party, she ran into him again and that was where
he first set his eyes on her. He had jumped into her while trying to get drinks
for his friends at the club and spilled some liquid on her dinner wear.
While apologetically trying to wipe off the drink from her Kunle
was surprised at the smile that enveloped her face. After all was done, he
could not help but ask her, ‘why did you smile all through my wiping off the
spill on your dress?’ Kunle asked. ‘I dreamt about it’, Janet answered still
smiling.
And as they say it, the rest is history. Well history until the
new chapter that may put tears in the face of Kunle’s for the rest of his life,
that is if he ever survive the ongoing battle in the hospital.
Janet and Kunle dated for a year and after a while she noticed
that a number was frequent on his phone contact. She took the number, dialed it
and she reached a female voice on the other end. Florence was one of the girls
she saw around Kunle that convocation a year ago and apparently she hadn’t let
go even after a year.
“Do you realise that Kunle is now dating me?” Janet asked, “I
don’t care, he promised to marry me and I believe him” Florence replied. “That
was a year ago but he is now with me. Yet you keep calling him”, “I don’t care,
I will have what is mine and if I can’t then you won’t”. that was the last
words she said before hanging up.
Janet confronted Kunle later that evening when he came back from
work (they had started living together as at this time because wedding bell was
ringing) and Kunle tried to explain. “She is a desperate lady who shouldn’t
have listened to me when I was drunk”, he continued, “I was a student at the
time and promising a lady marriage would have been…” Janet cuts in, “Would have
been a bad decision to make since you were not ready at the time. How can you
promise to marry a lady and renegade on your words? How do I know you are not
even lying to me right now?”
“stop, please just stop”, Kunle says, ‘don’t take this too far. I don’t
love her. You? I do love with all my heart and mind and soul and body” they
both smiled. “I fell in love with you at the convocation party and it was like
a jinx since then”
They both laughed and slept not knowing what was in store. The calls
kept coming in and the it soon maneuvered into threat. Kunle had a bitter
argument on his phone the night before the acid bath and as Janet walked in she
heard Kunle’s last words, “…you can’t do more than a dead rat, nonsense”
She didn’t bother to ask him who that was. This Florence issue has
now become an embarrassment and she can only imagine what will happen if and
when they finally see her face to face in the street. They both went ahead with
the evening activity without discussing about the call and threat not knowing
that the following day would define Kunle’s fate.
Early the next morning around 6am, a loud knock on Kunle’s 2
bedroom apartment woke them both up. “Who is that?” Kunle whispers from his
sleep as he sluggishly rose to open the door. “Someone is asking for Aunty
Janet”. The voice is that of Kamiye, a neighbor son. Janet stood up to attend
to the door but Kunle told her not to as she was approaching the door. “I will
get the door dear, don’t worry. I need to know who that is”
As Kunle opens his door, the next thing Janet heard was a loud
scream as if he had been shot at. As she ran to him at the door, she saw a lady
running down the step. Janet didn’t know whether to run after her or quickly
take Kunle who was in serious pain to the hospital. She did the latter and the
doctors are still battling to save his life.
That acid bath was meant for her because the demon of a lady asked
specifically for her and hoped she came for the door but unfortunately for
Kunle, he was the one that answered the door. The police are still searching
for Florence and hopefully she will be found and made to pay for her dastardly
act.
Please guys, Janet is asking everyone in a relationship to be very
careful especially if you noticed that your spouse is a very jealous person. No
matter the years that might have grown in between your break up or divorce, as
long as the ex’s are still communicating, that could be some form of danger and
red flag.
Let’s pray that Kunle doesn’t lose his life as the doctors battle
to save him. Not to talk about the facial corrective surgery he has to do if he
doesn’t die.
