Chapter 143

I felt so frustrated, they were both on the verge of killing theirself at this point, why was no one doing anything? And where was Buna and Bintu when you need them?, I decided to just get in between them myself, I only hope I do not get injured in the process. I finally slinked in between the crowd and got to where the boss were, I was so shocked and angry when I saw Bintu seated opposite where I was standing with the guards and having the best time of his life.

How could sit there and watch it all play out before him. I knew the boys would not have partaken in such activities, if he had not ask them to do so. Has he finally joined the masters to make fun of our lives and how worthless it  is presumed to be?. If he can ask them to fight for fun till death just to appease the guards and himself, then my perception of him all along had been wrong. I quickly came in between the two boys before they could continue to inflict more harm on theirselves.

Since they were not expecting my presence, the punch that one of them prepared for the other landed on my face, I would not lie, it hurt badly, it felt as if one of my teeth almost came off in the process. When the crowd became aware of what was transpiring, they all went quiet. Bintu stood up from his chair and took a step towards me, probably to defend himself or give baseless excuse but I did not want to hear them. The look in my eyes put a halt to his movement towards us.

I quickly dragged both boys with their ears out of there, I did not care to know the amount of pain they were in then, they both inflicted it on theirselves out of their foolishness. So they should be matured enough to bear the pain silently. I took them to where the river was, so they could clean theirselves up and when they are done, I would look for some herbs for them to apply on their injuries. Out of shame, they could not bear to look at me and kept hiding their face.

I took a piece of rag that I had grabbed on our way here, dabbed in water and used it to clean their injuries, whenever they exclaimed in pain, I would give them the stink eye which made them shut up immediately, I was purposely rough with them because I wanted them to feel the pain to the fullest, so they would not repeat their actions again. I quickly sent them back to the camp and went in search of the herbs I could use on them. Been with Maman influenced me a lot in the medicinal aspect, i was able to identify leaves that could be used for various ailments and know how to administer them when the need arises.
