“This is a last call for boarding for passenger Lara Balogun on Akosombo Air flight247 to Accra” a voice called out from the public address system, “Oho! You see!”Lara shouted, “that is my name they are announcing, or can’t you hear? This is the second time now” Lara shouted angrily at the officer, “there are many Laras in this airport, you’re not the only one with that name” the immigration officer replied turning up his nose, “you know what? I’ve had enough of this nonsense, I’m not going to miss my flight because of a madman like you” she said snatching her passports from the desk and pushing her way through to the boarding gates.“Not so fast!” a voice shouted from behind, she looked back to see two police officers coming towards her, “thank God you’re here” she shouted, “that stupid man has been harassing me” she said pointing at the immigration officer as she walked away while another one of the police officers ran to catch up with her, “stop right there” he said holding her firmly by the wrists, “you’re under arrest!”“For what?” Lara asked looking confused, “For the murder of Mr. Balogun” the police officer responded, “are you trying to say I killed my own husband?” Lara argued,“Yes that is exactly what he is trying to say” a familiar female voice responded from behind them, it was Aunty Fanny, “what is she doing here? Lara thought, “what is going on?”“Your game is up” Aunty Fanny shouted pulling Jeff behind her, “My nephew is not dead.”“Oh my Gosh! ” Lara screamed, almost dropping Jojo when she saw Jeff, “he’s dead, I saw his body myself” Lara screamed shaking, “you wanted him dead but YOU FAILED” Aunty Fanny shouted as the police officers put Lara’s hands in handcuffs.
An hour later, they were all at the station with Jojo, Jeff had narrated his story to everyone and Lola had now been released.Lara was sitting on the chair in the interrogation table crying with hand cuffs on her hand.“Why did you do it?” Jeff asked with tears rolling down his eyes, “you know how much I love you. I trusted you so much with my life, I could’ve sworn you’d rather die than kill me” Jeff said.“What do you know about love?” Lara whispered between sobs, “you slept with my only sister while I was busy working day and night to feed you both and you’re standing there talking about love” Lara replied, “all these would never have happened in the first place if you had just controlled your lustful desires” Lara replied.“But that was not an excuse to attempt to kill him” Aunty Fanny interrupted.“it’s easy for you to stand there and judge”Lara responded, “only a woman who has truly walked in my shoes would understand what it means to be betrayed by the only two people you ever trusted.
I hate you both” Lara sobbed, “I regret ever knowing you both” she spat at Jeff and Lola as the police officers came and took her away…“I think there are many lessons to be learntfrom this” Aunty Fanny announced as Lara was being taken away, “Men need to stop cheating on their wives and taking them for granted, it is not every woman that knows how to handle betrayal.
