Sold To Mr President

A car had stopped directly in front of Ruby’s face and the shock had made her to fall on the ground. It was like in a swift effect, the action was fast and as she laid there, she felt a lot of pain. Ruby was so fortunate because the stranger in the car had not run over her, in fact, she was blessed because the driver had been so attentive, more than ever.

Ruby had several things running through her mind, she couldn’t understand why she had does things, it is kind of awkward, and although she had stressed her mind on that, she had totally forgotten that she was on the road. A packet of the bag that contained the groceries stuffs fell on the ground. while the others that stayed there beside her. The bag that had come loose was the one that contained fruits and cans of food.

Lying on the ground, Ruby thought for a moment that the car had run over her, so she closed her eyes firmly, opening it will mean that she needs super aid. She was kind of afraid, so scared that she didn’t notice the man that came out of the car.

The young man inside the blue Mercedes Benz was startled to death. How on earth didn’t he see the lady approach her? it was like a nasty dream that was realizing itself just like that. Well, since morning, he has been running errands for his bro for the whole day, and it is kind of frustrating, more than he can even think of.

The boy sitting behind the wheel is Collins Braxton and a supporter of Xavier. Actually, he is his little brother, and politics run in their veins, just that, he doesn’t want anything to do with politics, especially engaging himself into uh activities. It just sulks so much that he can’t quickly comprehend it. Nonetheless, the fact that Collins isn’t part of the politicians in the country doesn’t mean that his voice will not be heard. Unlike that, his plan was just to help his brother win so that he can have the peace of mind to see him settle down.

In their family, they were only two of them, and as brothers had learned to support one another and Collins’s greatest achievement will be to see his brother being the president of Douala. The joy of it will be so enormous because even if it is not a big deal, watching Xavier fight against the bad guys will be something he admires so much.

Today, they aimed to do a campaign in the western part of the state, covering amongst of Bonaberi, and the Bekoko cities of the state. So far, the leaders were not enough, so Xavier had begged his brother to focus on those areas. Many people have been affected by the Red Feathers Squad, their marks are still evident, and unless the people vote for Mr. Xavier, things might even get worse__ So they are been informed.

The fact that Oscar and his secret assassins might kill one or two of the population’s friends and or relatives, scared the hell out of them. Rhwonly way to stop them is to vote for Xavier. Money and fame are not just enough, they need the power to conclude their deal.

It is about ten p. m. when the campaign had been closed, and he thought it wise to start coming back to the house.

Through out the entire campaign, Collins had passed his entire time screaming for freedom, his aim is to have the people know that fear would soon be erased from their memory, if only they can trust Xavier, then, things might work well for them.

“Freedom to one is freedom to all, make Xavier our president, and sign a pack with Liberty,”

This was the slogan they kept repeating as they matched through out those little towns. The reaction from the local people was amazing, they adored everything Collins had said, in fact, the main reason why Xavier is always proud of his senior brother is because he has a very good sense of humor. He is also a good orator and knows how to talk to people. These things are the skills needed to deal with the local people, especially when they wanted their votes so fast.

Sighing, the events flashed in the young man’s mind. He had been with his other companions, they had shared their flyers, sang, made their speech, and repeated the slogans over and over again. The thing was kind of good to look at, he couldn’t believe that his mission had been successful. A few hours later, Collins had driven in to town and was very happy to give his report about his day to his brother. It is quite good because he is going to receive many good acclaims from him.

Well, not that it really means anything to him because he is first of all wealthy, their family wealth belongs to them, but then, he wants to add something more to that, that is quite the most important thing in his life right now, so nothing more is his priority right now.

Also, Collins had not been in town for quite a long time now, he doesn’t love Bessadi, so moving out, he didn’t only leave the town, but also the entire country. This is one of the many things that makes find happy to be overseas, but when he had heard that his senior brother Xavier is starting up a campaign, he was the first to jump into the first plane coming to Cameroon. There is no way that he will stay in Italy and not come along to check on his family.

Tonight, it was never his intention to run over a lady, and as he sat behind the steering, it was one of the hardest tasks to believe such a thing right now. Like seriously, the actions had happened in a flash, his intentions had been that he wants to get a grip of himself, hurry to his house, have a cool bath before doing anything else.

And for the first time in a very long time, Collins didn’t want to watch a soccer match before bed time. Absolutely no! instead, what he wants to do is to crawl on the bed and cuddle his pillow while trying his best to stay put beneath the blanket, warming himself.

That was quite a terrible instance to think about, but then, just thinking about it made a small crooked smile to pull along the edge of his mouth.

Widening his eyes over the fact that he might have knocked a lady or even possibly run over her, his heartbeat accelerated, not only his heart was beating so terribly, but he also gritted his teeth in fear that he might have killed the lady.

“What if it is an elderly lady? what if her leg was been knocked by the edge of my dainty front car?” several questions filed in through his mind, and just about it only made him sad.

Without wasting much time, Collins immediately opened the front of his car, hurrying to come out, and the first thing in his mind was to rush towards the lady’s side to save her. He had not seen her when he was riding along, especially when he was on the right path of the road. Notwithstanding, the issue is not about being on the right side of the road, is to protect a lady from dying, so he opened the door in a haste, aiming to rush rund the car, to save the lady.

Collins had been on time trying to save the lady but he doesn’t know whether his car had knocked her before she even had the time to run. The moment he hurried out of the car and closed the door, his first thought was to check if the lady had been injured.

Walking fast, he spotted the hem of a cloth, so he stretched his neck wanting to see more. The moment his eyes caught a glimpse at Ruby, the first thing that left his mouth was,

“Holy Cow! how on earth had I not been attentive to the point of running over a lady?” he muttered in shock.

Collins had not removed the key from his car, and the engine was still roaring. Also, the lights of his car in front were illuminating, providing the necessary artificial lift he needed to see his way through.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Rushing over to the girl’s side, Collins only had one thing running through his mind, which was to save the lady right now. This situation is kind of strange, he couldn’t think about such a thing to be possible, not at all. Well, times are hard, there is nothing that could be worse than what he is seeing now it is kind of bizarre, and as he rushed close to her, Collins felt on his knee scratching it to the ground. as he looked at the lady on the with bewilderment. There is no doubt that he had hit her, but then, he could swear that he had hit the lady, yes, and that thought was what made him want to cry.

All around him, there were pieces of food, and the knowledge passed through Collin’s body, it was what he had not planned for, to make an accident, and even though it was the hardest thing in his entire life to do such a thing.

Grabbing the lady’s hand, he felt like he was going to break down after feeling her pale texture of her palms. Ruby’s hand was a limb, it was weak, and felt light as if she didn’t have bones in there. Of course, she had bones, in her hands, just that they were so weak that one can never tell that they were actually bones in her hand.

Pulling his head up, Collins felt the tears struck at the back of his eyes, he didn’t notice that so many emotions had clouded on his face, it was kind of abnormal, and as he creased his mind, it was like several pins were being placed in his head, pointing against the crown of his head terribly.

There is only one thing Collins had to check on right now, to see whether the lady lying on the floor is alright. This is the only reason why he had refrained himself from going home late, but then, he was the kind that needs everyone to be happy, the favorite rich junior brother that every girl wants to have.

The moment Collins had thought about these things it made him happy, he smiled brightly, but the smile was easily truncated when he thought that he would pass out If the need is not taken. Just thinking about it is kind of frustrating, so much that he can’t even think about it.

Out of frustration, Collins thought it wise to call the lady who was lying in front of him. He didn’t think that she was unconscious, and even if she is, someone has got to help her, willingly or not. There is no other deal that he could do about it, nothing at all. Sighing, he decided to lift his hand bringing it close to Ruby’s face as he brushed it lightly.

“Please, Ms. Wake up, I didn’t mean to run over you, please wake up,” Collins called out.

Collins was frustrated when he called out to the lady, it was kind of aching because the lady did not reply to him. At least, he needed to hear the lady’s voice, he wanted her to talk to him to tell him that he had pains on her knees or on her head, but no! the girl didn’t say anything. Instead, she laid on the ground lifeless__ so he saw her__ and this caused his heart wants to leave his body, it is more than frustrating to see the scene in front of him.

Instantly, he had the mind to help Ruby, he wanted to rush her to the hospital, and as he glared at her, he nodded that it was the only solution he had right now.
