Hidden past

Chapter 22

.

Naomi got the business card on the table for the detective and then reached for her phone which was on the table. She quickly dialed the number at which the detective's phone started ringing. Detective Banda got the phone and to his surprise, the number was not private.

"Okay, call me on your second number" he said.

Without any hesitancy, she dialed the number on her SIM 2. As well the number came without any sign of it being a private one.

"Is it private line?" She asked them.

"Of course no. So we are now thinking...."

"Listen to me gentlemen, I have a lot to do on my table. You are wasting my time with your unfounded allegations. Can you please kindly leave me I do what I am supposed to do?"

"We have the blessing of your boss to talk to you".

"And that boss is the one who will be on me any minute from no if I don't finish what am doing. Please."

"Okay, we will get back to you."

"Thank you".

.

The detectives walked out of the office then walking to the manager's office so as to let him know of their departure. They appreciated him after which asked for Naomi's phone numbers. The manager gave them and they left.

Upon getting to their car, the detective sat their comparing the numbers Naomi had called him on and those he had been given by the boss.

"The numbers are just the same. But I feel it could her who has a hand in this issue." The detective said then driving off.

------------------------------------------------------

Later that evening whilst at home, Naomi received a call from Lilian. She knew exactly that the call was for them to do some gossip. As she was still eating, she let the phone ring as she was to call back later when done.

Immediately she was done, she took her phone and called back.

"What took you so long to call back?" Asked Lilian.

"Sorry, I was eating"

"So eating stopped you from answering my call?"

"Come on. Is that why you called to be angry at me?"

"No"

"Eheee. Now talk to me"

"Yes I want to hear everything about the detectives with you."

"Oh that"

"Yeah"

Naomi first gave a deep breath out after which she started narrating everything on how the meeting went on.

"Wow. But how possible was it that your number is not private?"

"The private line I use is another simcard. I use it for sensitive called only. My usual numbers are Normal and no one knows my private line" Naomi said.

"You are so smart dear. But I hope your calls with the doctor wasn't recorded because they will master your voice and pair it with the one on phone." Lilian warned.

"I already worked on that. I changed the settings of the ka phone for the private number to have a magic voice for a woman. So the voice they were hearing was for the woman in the phone and not me. I can speak but the voice is for phone."

"Wow. You are something else girlfriend"

"You haven't seen anything yet from me. Just wait and see how I will teach Misheck a lesson soon"

"I trust you on that"

After that they went on talking about other girlie topics which could have made no sense to whoever made to listen to them.

--------------------------------------------------

Later on that weekend, Misheck and Theresa drove to the shop they were to start renting for there business. As the shop was not in a very well secured state to hold their valuable merchandise, they had to add some other additional security features to it with the consent of the shop owner on an arrangement.

On that day,the peopt they had contacted to work on it were there so they were there to inspect and advise the way they wanted there shop secured. As it is important with any person having any of their structure built or renovated to check on the progress, that was why Misheck was there.

The work went on till the it was done to the expectation and satisfaction of Theresa. They were to start stocking it in a week's time to let the fresh security articles to dry up.

.

When they left the shop, they decided to pass by the supermarket so that they could buy some stuff and nice foodies for their kids home. Upon getting to the supermarket the couple walked slowly to the entrance at which Theresa got a trolley saying it all that they were going to get a great deal of things there. Having a trolley in supermarket has that special feeling attached to it as it's an indication of being a great deal of a buyer. Some of us have never had an opportunity to use a trolley because of financial constraints we have which make it an impossibility to use it for our meager purchases in supermarkets.

Misheck walked besides Theresa as he pushed the trolley while she went on picking things she wanted and stocking them in the trolley. They went on round till the trolley was level full.

"Honey, we will use this till to pay. Wait for me here so that I get the shampoo from there. It can be bothering you pushing it to there" Theresa said

"Okay"

At that Theresa walked heading to the shelf where there was shampoo. When she was out of sight, Misheck got his phone to keep himself busy as he waited for his wife. He then realised that there were some text messages at which he scrolled there to check them. They were from the network service provider which he read and deleted. As he got to the last one, he couldn't believe it. He had to first look around and look at the phone again but the message was still there. There was a message from Naomi.

"What can she want from me now?" He asked himself wondering.

He then opened the message and it read:

"I NEED TO MEET YOU BEFORE THIS WEEKEND ENDS. I AM IN YOUR TOWN. IF I DONT HEAR FROM YOU UPTO SUNDAY 14HOURS, THEN BE READY FOR DRAMA AT YOUR HOME"

Misheck read through the text several times trying to figure out what was really meant in it. He did not even realize that Theresa had come.

"Hey honey, is everything okay?" She asked

"Hey, oh yeah, all is well. Shall we go?"

"Yes, we can go"

The walked to the till where they had to pay from. As Theresa was doing the payment thing, Misheck was out of place thinking about what Naomi wanted from him when tranquility was slowly coming back into his marriage.

When done they walked to their car and drove off heading to the ATM where Theresa was to withdraw some money for the payment of the gateman's wage. They drove to the ATM and Theresa walked out while he remained in the car.

There were about three people in front of Theresa which meant that Misheck had an opportunity to call Naomi. He did exactly that by dialing her line. The phone went on ringing till when it was at the vent of cutting and it was answered.

"Yes" Naomi answered.

"Naomi how are you?"

"Am okay."

"I found your message, what is it all about?"

"I said you meet me not over phone."

"But why?"

"Where do I meet you and when?"

"Naomi!"

"Misheck text me the time and place you will meet me unless you want my real drama at your home" Naomi said then hanging the phone.

Misheck who was pressured tried to make a call again but she cut it. At his third attempt he found the phone was off.

"What the hell does she want from me now?" He asked himself angrily
