Chapter 5

"Rumaina you've helped us a lot in fighting the city brat and we're indebted to you for this" Her uncle said as he tapped her shoulder lightly and she smiled. "Uncle I had to teach him a lesson for messing with you" Rumaina said in between sobs. "why are you shedding tears?" her uncle asked as he wiped her tears away with his palms. "I guess I'm an emotional fool" she said almost in a chuckle and  that made her uncle laugh. "Toh ruma I'm going to see mallam bello" her uncle said before walking to the  exit but he was  pushed back inn by a mob of angery press. "Mr sumaila"  a press Lady said. "Why did you stop Mr Amir sheik's plans of repairing your village?" the press lady questioned but Ruma's  uncle said nothing for he was shocked beyond words. "Mr sumaila give us answers,We need answers" the press lady kept on talking and pushing inn until Ruma's uncle fell to the ground. "Abba!" Ruma shouted as she went to help him up, she bent down to his level and helped him up but as she rose up she saw him, the city brat, Mr amir sheik and he had this smirk on his face which was unquenchable. "you!" she said as she grabbed him by his collar. "you see, you see how aggressive they are, she's trying to strangle me" Amir  said as he put his hand up in surrender. "you're so evil" she said still holding onto he's collar, the whole event was onn live. it was shown live on every news Channel. "miss ruma why are you against this project because as it is Mr Amir sheik has bought the land legally from the government" A male reporter said, pointing the mic at her but she decided not to give a reply instead she held onto Amir and began shaking him and raining insults on him. "Why are you so wicked, must you render us homeless?" she said to him and he still tried to act all innocent. "Miss ruma answer us, we need answers" the male reporter said making Ruma turn to him and she grabbed the mic away from his hand and began talking "Mr Amir sheik bought our village legally from the government, we know, but must he render us homeless. we're humans who need shade above our head, and as you know many people in this village have nothing, they're poor. Yes but with the little they had they built a house in the village but Mr Amir sheik tried to take it all away by bulldozing our houses, is that right?" Ruma said with little  tear dropping from her eyes and that left the reporter in awe. "Mr amir sheik has bought the land legally, we know!, But must he render them homeless" the press man said to no one directly, he was staring at the camera before him. "I'll end this game which you started" Amir said to ruma and her uncle and she just snubbed him and focused on her uncle. "Are you okay?" she asked her uncle and he nodded as he sat on the bench. "Amir sheik" ruma said as she followed him to the exit where he was about to leave. "what?" he said removing his spectacles which revealed his tick eye lashes and eye brows. "you think you've won, right ? But believe me you've lost. with my speech I'm certain we'll emerge victorious" She said to him calmly before turning arround and walking away, making a usual smirk form on the face of Amir. "I like her guts, we shall see" He mumbled before walking over to his car that was parked outside.
