"Dad, he just barged in and tore off my dress, wanting to have me forcefully. If you were late by even a minute, then he would have gotten his filthy hands on me..." Tears dripped down on Recho Wairimu's face as she started explaining to her dad even before Jaffery Lutta got a chance to explain himself. He could only watch with his mouth opening and closing from time to time. Guilt and regret was written all over his face.
"Young boy, you are so audacious!" Recho Wairimu's father slapped Jaffery Lutta which made him to spurt a mouthful of blood. Recho Wairimu's father had not held back when he slapped him and with his weak body, Jaffery Lutta even feared that some of his teeth might have been loosened.
"Eeerm... This is a misunderstanding..." Jaffery Lutta tried to explain as he casted several glances at Recho Wairimu to see if she would correct this confusion. However, Recho Wairimu's father didn't gave him a chance, he slapped him once again furiously without holding back which made the already disoriented and kneeling Jaffery Lutta to hit his head heavily on the floor. Blood could be seen coming from his mouth due to the impact.
"Where did these cigarettes come from?" After ensuring that Jaffery Lutta was held up so that he could not escape, Recho Wairimu's father glanced at the table which had a pack of cigarettes and a single stick which was still burning.
"That bastard came into the house with the wine bottle in his hand and forcefully forced me to gulp some of the wine before he smashed the bottle to the wall beside me... After that... he threw the cigarette pack on the table and ripped my dress apart..." Recho Wairimu explained.
"Boy! You even dared to come with drugs in my daughter's place... You will have to explain this to the police." Recho Wairimu's father who was more than angered kicked Jaffery Lutta hard which made him to spurt even more blood.
Recho Wairimu's father only wanted to relieve some of his anger by kicking Jaffery Lutta.
Actually Recho Wairimu's father had allowed anger to overwhelm him, if he was collected and observant, he would have realized that all this was made up, not to mention that Recho Wairimu's house had cameras all around, her father didn't even chose to investigate the matter and first believed what Recho Wairimu had told him.
Knock! Knock!
"Is there anyone inside? This is the police!" A menacing cold voice was heard from outside.
"Coming." Recho Wairimu's father walked towards the door and opened it, revealing the faces of two officers.
"What happened here." One of the officers asked Recho Wairimu's father.
"I just came in this night to see my daughter and found this boy trying to have his way with her and then..." Recho Wairimu's father explained everything that unfolded to the cops. The cops asked him some other questions before they asked all of them to follow them to the police station so that they could write a statement. Jaffery Lutta on the other hand was handcuffed while Recho Wairimu remained trembling uncontrollably with tears streaming down her cheeks, she looked pitiful as if she had truly been raped.
All the way to the police station, Jaffery Lutta was not given a chance to say anything and he was to remain in police custody as the case continued to be investigated.
___
Five days later, 1300Hrs.
Jaffery Lutta had been behind bars all this time. If it was about the matter of investigations it would have already been finished but he didn't saw himself being taken to court, he had called his parents' telephone several times but nobody answered, it seemed as if his parents had denounced him because of his case.
Jaffery Lutta knew very well that there was no evidence that showed he was the one who was in the wrong, it seemed even Recho Wairimu's father had already found out about this.
Nonetheless, because Recho Wairimu's father was rich, he must have already bribed the cops so that this case was closed but as for Jaffery Lutta, he still remained behind bars because the cops were also awaiting for some relative of his to come and bribe them before they could allow him to go.
"Ooh! Shitty punk! Someone has come to get you out of this heaven." A bloodshot eyed police officer wearing a smile opened the door of the cell to get Jaffery Lutta out.
The police officers had been ignoring Jaffery Lutta for all the five days that he had been in the cell even when he would shout at them but now that someone with a "wallet" had come to get him out, they were now giving him face.
Jaffery Lutta once again observed the dark cell that he had been living in for all those five days and he could see his fellow inmates that he was going to leave them behind. All of them had pale faces and bloodshot eyes, some of them were even glaring at him as if he had killed their child, if it was not for the police officers moving around these cells from time to time, Jaffery Lutta feared that he would have already been tortured hellishly by these people.
'Who Is this person that has come to bail me out?' Jaffery Lutta asked himself. His parents would not dare to bail him out because even if they wanted to, they didn't have that money to squander.
