"No!!
No!!! It can't be..
I just saw her last week.
She promised, she promised to spend the weekend with us" Susan continuously kept chanting, the tears flowing freely....
She had just received the news about the death of her favourite aunty, Shola...
Aunty Shola never failed to spoil her since her birth- from toys, to clothes, to candy, to gadgets, to money.. Aunty Shola was a constant in her life.. A force to be reckoned with.. Tall with legs that could go on forever, light skinned, toned body with curves that were in the right places..
Two months ago, Fred had come and stolen aunty Shola from Susan.. Or so Susan believed.. Fred was the "idiot" that made Aunty Shola fall in love and marry...
The marriage brought changes that were not welcomed by Susan.. It involved Aunty Shola moving out finally, visiting less and devoting most of her love to Fred.
"You are thirteen. A big girl now, suck it up" Fred would tease Susan...
She hated Fred. He was so short and round and he had a very big lips.
Visiting last week, Aunty Shola had promised to spend this weekend with her.....
She patiently waited until she heard her mum's phone ring and her mum talking softly...
"Fred! What happened to her? Dead? How did it happen?"
Susan could not listen anymore, it felt as if the earth was spinning.. She clutched her head with her hands and continued chanting the words to herself.
Four days later, Aunty Shola was to be buried and Fred stood there without shedding a tear, a slight smug smirk on his big lips as the priest conducted the service..
Susan dipped her right hand into the purse she carried and brought out the kitchen knife she took from the house.
"It was his fault.. He made Aunty Shola not spend the weekend with me. He took away my time with her. He collected the love meant for me. He killed her. He will die" Susan kept saying quietly to herself...
As the corpse was lowered to the ground, Fred was given the shovel to pour the first set of sand. As he took the shovel, Susan moved quickly and stuck the knife into his stomach and twisted.
"You killed her!!!" She screamed
