Chapter 21
She t©uçhed his n£¢k,
“he has developed a
fever” she sighed.
“we nee-d to get him to a safe place as soon as
possible.”
“how long until Jo gets
back?” Sila asked the guy
with them.
“It’s been 5 minutes alre-ady he must be here
any time. he had to go
by the road side one of
our guys must bring a
vehicle from
somewhere.” the guy explained
She had re-moved his
shi-t completely and
allow some cool air
t©uçh him after dressing
his wounds. Scar gro-an ed coming to
” hey hey !” Sila called
him..
“Aaron stay still moving
will make your wounds
bleed more. The vehicle will be here soon.” She
told him ma-king him lay
back down
“where is everyone?” he
managed to ask..
“we are all here” she pointed out.
Scar let a small smile
ex-posing his white teeth
as the moon light lit his
face.
He raised his hand and t©uçhed her face.
“If i never met you days
ago. I would have been
dead by now, thank you”
he said honestly.
Sila tried to push back the tears in her eyes.
” you will be fine” she
managed to say.
A couple of minutes later
they heard the sound of
a vehicle driving their direction.
” he’s here” the guy with
them announced,
immediately it halted
Sila asked Jo and the guy
to help put Scar in the car. It was a big car with
7 seats.
The nanny, Zac and the
guy sat at the back and
Sila put Scar’s head on
her l@ps sitting on the middle seats.
Jo sat with the driver.
“Hurry” Jo told the driver
“to the warehouse.”
“no ” Scar st©pped him..
“it’s quite risky now. we don’t know how much
the police know about
us. Take us to Lukanga,
we are going stay at
mom’s house. Then you
guys will disperse to your homes too at least
we all will be safe there.
”
” That’s ok” Jo agreed as
he indicated for the
driver to start moving. “And the other thing”
Scar added “have you
heard anything from our
police informat..?”
“not yet boss” Jo
answered.. “what are you waiting
for? Do it now, call him.”
Jo dialled the number..
After talking for 2
minutes he hang up.
“Boss” he told Scar, ” he says the police had
tracked some number
given by some
politician.”
“Oh no!” Scar frowned..
” it’s your brother in law Sila” he looked at her.
” he must have given
them your line to trace
our whereabouts. ”
“Oh my God that idiot.”
Sila spat. “what do we do now?” She asked…
“get rid of the phone
now before they track us
again.” Jo spoke up..
“That’s right” Scar
agreed looking at Sila. she handed Jo her
phone, he opened it and
destroyed the sim card.
They arrived at Scar’s
mother’s house at 01
am. Scar motioned for Sila to get his phone
from his pocket.
“call mom” he said,
“let me talk to her.”
“Hello mom” he spoke
after his mother answered.
” Aaron” she called in a
sleepy voice.
“what happened ? Why
are you calling this time
sonny.?” “Open the door mom, am
outside.”
A couple of minutes
later, his sleepy mom
unlocked the door. she
st©pped when she saw the prado parked outside
and no one c@m£ out.
Jo opened and went out
to her
‘how are you mom” he
greeted at least she knew him Scar had gone
with him to see her on
two occasions he was
the only one who knew
where she lived.
“Am fine Jo.. where is Aaron?” She responded..
” He’s hurt mom it’s a
long story lets get him in
the house he will explain
everything.” Jo
responded “of course” she nodded
opening the door as the
other guy and Sila
helped him to the house.
Scar’s mother looked at
Sila and the kid but kept the question to herself
wondering what was
going on with her son as
she followed them
inside.
She went to him.. ” Aaron you look pale
what happened to you ?
” she panicked.. “were
are you hurt?” she cried…
“oh Jesus ! ” she
screamed when he showed her the wound
in his leg and che-st.
“what is this my son?”
She whispered
Scar looked at Jo sitting
next to him. “you can go with the
boys we will stay here. I
will give you a call, take
care of everyone else
and be careful out
there.” He mumbled ‘Sure” Jo nodded, he
patted Scars hand..
” get well soon man.” he
said honestly with
sadness in his heart.
As he went to the car Jo, held his w@!st looking at
the moon. He wished his
friend was well.
‘”this life is indeed a
battle ” he thought.
“others get it the ha-rd est and others just enjoy the
harvest of those that
had victory, like the
people who grow up
with everything provided
for them. They just go throu-gh every phase of
life with things placed in
their hands. theirs is to
chew and swallow.
unfortunately people like
him were in the middle of the war. fighting
either to live or die.
He shook his head.
“what for anyway, at the
end of it all everything
was useless. You would end up either dying or
living fighting each day.”
He opened the door and
hopped in the car,
“let’s go” he told the
driver.. Scar l@ydown on the
sofa as he narrated the
story from the
beginning. All throu-gh
his narration his mother
shook her head tears rolling in her face…
“oh Aron my son. you
didn’t have to go
throu-gh all that, it is
better to live poor than
de-ep your hands in the cu-p of evil. God could
have found another way
for us my son” she cried.
” Your father was a ha-rd
working and honesty
man.” ” I know mom,” Scar
responded
” but he died and
everything changed. I
mean, I don’t have any
good justification for what I did but someone
had to do something for
us mom.”
His mother shook her
head..
“my son God always does things for us you
didn’t nee-d to rush him.”
she cried..
“st©p it alre-ady mom,”
he snapped.
“where was your God when dad was dying? ,
where was he when they
took everything we had?
Where was he when I
cried for him to help us.
oh mom where was he when we sle-pt with
hunger…? ” he shook his
head.
“St©p blaming God Aaron
Mulenga.” his mother
screamed.. “what have you turned into? I taught
you about the goodness
of God. How dare you say
that nons-en-se now.
Don’t you believe
anymore? ” He looked at his mother,
she was really hurt. she
would only call him his
full name when she was
really upset and
disappointed. “Am sorry mother” he
said in a low voice..
“I st©pped believing a
long time ago and you
can’t blame me. ” he
murmered. She sl@pped him on his
face
” st©p!” she cried.
Holding her mouth
realising she just hit her
injured son. All this while Sila
watched the two in
silence, thankfully Zac
had fallen asleep on the
way so he was taken to
sleep in the be-droom when they arrived, Maria
was with him.
Sila finally spoke up
seeing the way the talk
was turning up.
“plea-se we all nee-d to calm down..”
Scar’s mother
apologised,
“am so sorry my
daughter. I have not
even had time to welcome you properly”
“it’s ok” Sila smiled,
” I un-derstand…”
“you are a good woman
Sila” she told her.
“For you to endure the suffering my son put you
throu-gh and raise his
son and now you are the
one to save the life of
the man who made your
life a living hell. God will surely be the
one to reward you and
give you a long and
blessed life” she said
with tears in her face..
Sila hvgged her crying too
“thank you” she told her.
” I know you are a good
mother too. it’s not your
fault Aaron did what he
did. Do not blame yourself”
She nodded as she
wiped her tears.
“Mom forgive me, am
sorry I didn’t want you
involved in all this but I had no other choice.”
she went to him and
carefully gave him a hvg,
” You are my son and
will always be no matter
what. I still love you.” “Thank you mom” he
whispered to her.
Sila wiped a tear and
smiled joyfully. The bond
between Scar and his
mother ma-king her smile wi-dely.

Final Chapter
Scar’s mother looked at Sila as she attended to Scar. She carefully washed his wounds with salt water, cleaning them and putting fresh bandages. she stood by the door and watched in silence.
Sila and Scar didn’t see her they had stayed with her for the past 2 weeks. she c@m£ to love Sila, she was the exact woman she had always wished for her son and the Boy Zac just stole her heart. She loved him so much he reminded her of Scar as a boy . she smilled as she continued watching.
Sila had finished taking care of Scar and he tried to stand up and she helped him up.
“hey Sila” he held her w@!st..
“you nee-d to st©p worrying so much about me am better now..”
“Not until I see you running” she responded, he bent to k!ssher.
Scar’s mom smilled before slowly closing back the door and as she turned Just to find Zac behind her. “shshshsh” she told Zac,
” let’s go to the market now Isaac. we should buy vegetables.”
“let’s go!” Zac said excited..
Sila withdrew from the k!ss.
“st©p that Aaron, you are still hurt.”
“Am stronger than before” he chuckled as he ru-bbe-d his nose on hers.
“You know what Sila” he smiled pu-lling her to sit on the be-d. He took a pillow and placed it on his back as he leaned on the wall.
” I am not good at expressing my feelings. I don’t know all that staff of buying flowers or cards, I don’t even know how to use those sweet words people in love use like my love,babe, honey, sweety or whatever. I don’t know, but one thing I know for sure de-ep here” he held her palm to his heart.
“Is that I love you with every breath in my heart. I can never repay you for what you have done and doing for me. because no amount of cash can match the price of what you deserve. The only thing I have to give you is my sincere love from every heart beat I have.”
She looked at him and smilled. “thats more than enough just add one more thing” she said…
“what’s that?” Scar asked…
“God” She said seriously..
” I want you to accept Jesus again and rededicate your life to him, he has given you a million chances in life and he deserves your commitment.”
He smilled…
“you are no different from my mom. I will do that only if you promise to stay by me and show me how.” He shrugged
“done !” Sila exclaimed..
She leaned forward and k!$$£d him. “am glad you are getting better mafia boy.”
“oh yeah” he giggled holding her n£¢k and and k!ss!ngher dee-per. Slowly the tension between them grew as they k!$$£d.. He pu-ll-ed her to himself and slowly re-moved her blouse his eyes fixed on hers, he looked at her expo-sed br@.
“I like the colour red on you” he smilled as he unpinned the br@ from her back pu-lling it out and leaving her still pointed brea-sts expo-sed.
“but I like it best if this was out of my way” he tea-sed throwing it down.
Sila g@sped as he reached her mouth and gently li-cked her n!ppl!s. working his other hand into her chitenge, he t©uçhed the t©p of her undies ru-bbing her slowly as she closed her eyes, shoots of sweet plea-sure rushing in her p@rts of the b©dy.
“There’s is another obstruction down here” he murmered his mouth still on her n!ppl!s.
She tried to resist for fear of hurting him on the healing wounds, but with his every t©uçh he made it ha-rd for her.
“Come on Aaron, plea-se you are hurt.” she m0@n ed.
“St©p this now..”
He smilled as he k!$$£d her mouth. “st©p nagging alre-ady woman and let me do my work.”
“you are unbelievable Mr. ” she g@sped. He went on working on her and succesfully made her sit on him.
Minutes later they both exploded in plea-sure and l@ydown sighing tired. He k!$$£d her forehead and smilled.
“I escaped death just to enjoy being with you my woman.”
She stared at him silently.
Then she spoke up.
“how are things out there? Any news from the guys and police? ”
“Yeah” he sat up..
“Jo c@m£ to brief me again. he said the police have at least taken off a bit and that they have no more evidence against me in fact they are saying I probably am dead.
“You know” he paused,
“They can’t admit they failed to catch us publicly so the best is for them to say something that paints them a good picture.”
Sila nodded in un-derstanding..
“Yeah” he continued ..
“I managed to contact my buyers and Jo managed to sell all the cars including your Brother inlaw’s jeep and gen sets . For now we are clean ” he added.
” we don’t have any physical things to expo-se us and luckily the cops found nothing at my house to implicate me. I don’t even have a ph0to of myself in the house” he chuckled.
“Okay then, Aaron” Sila told him… “whatever you have gotten rid off is the last you will ever do, because as of yersterday, you st©pped stealing anything.”
“Anything ?” he tea-sed, k!ss!ngherl-ip.
“even k!sses from you.?”
“Am serious Aaron” she snapped. “promise me this life of yours is all in the past and that you will change for the better, for your son. your mother’s and my sake this is all over” she added seriously.
“I will try woman” he said to her “it’s not going to be easy though. that life is all i know how to do and the guys look up to me I cannot just abandon them.”
“yes you will! ” she raised her voice
” if they want let them find another leader, that is if they are still in this life. just look at how others have lost their lives and even freedom. And you will find something else to do am serious Aaron.” she said upset..
“or you can forget about me and your son..”
“Oh, oh easy Sila” he held her.
“I didn’t say I won’t change, come on woman you can’t leave me now. I can’t go on without you, plea-se I said I will work on it come on st©p being upset with me now. I can’t stand you being mad at me. You aren’t leaving me alone are you?” he asked looking into her eyes.
“You know I will if you won’t change Aaron. we cannot live this kind of life for good. Running and fighting, no ways. ” she shook her head.
“I get you” he said..
” I promise to do whatever you say, fortunately you have made me a slave of your heart. I can’t stand it without you. Now come on, give me some love” he said pu-lling her to him
“another round will put me back on my feet.”
she shook her head moving closer to him
“you are lots to handle you know that.” she giggled.

Scar had healed and getting strong again. He called a meeting with his guys and advised them to st©p their robbing business. he told them he was done and had a family to look up to.
“do the same boys” he told them. “go live, find hapiness and do something you all will be proud of.”
He sold his house and managed to get his secret vult which had all his important do¢v-ments, about K150 000 cash and 2000 dollars plus what he had stocked in his account, he had millions to help him start over.
Sila managed to get an early retirement, she applied for a job in the USA and when she was accepted to go and work there she asked Scar to go live with her.
“It’s a good place to go start over ” Scar agreed.
” I will find some business to invest in and fortunate enough I have contacts from some of my old buyers am sure it won’t be difficult to settle in” he had added.
Sila had somehow managed to convince her family about Scar. She told them he was a changed person and she was going to marry him and give him a second chance. She received mixed feelings from her relatives but that didnt st©p her from going ahead with their plans..
