CHAPTER 87:l AM A Man...

"What?Mum?, She was shocked to see her mother lying in a pool of blood, socking the bedsheets.

"This can't be! dad wh...what happened to her, what happened to mum, my mum is not suicidal dad....she..she was fine today, this can't be" she wailed as she tried to free herself from her dad's hands who was holding her strongly.

"Tell me its a lie that ...the...at ..she is just sleeping. Did you do it dad, did you kill her? You have been having misunderstanding dad...did you kill her?" She was not believing what is before her naked eyes. The gun in her hands, she knew her mother was not suicidal.

"Yes l agree baby we have been having misunderstanding, but that cannot make me to kill her. I love your mother Mish, she was the love of my life. I found her like that when l came in that's why l came to wake you up" he explained.

He called the police and who came to pick her corpse and also to allow the investigation so that her daughtercan believe him that her mother died from self inflicted gunshots. Something that Mish refused to believe. Infact Mish's suspicion are not far off when it will letter be revealed that indeed Mr Mukhongo did shoot his wife accidentally, in a fit of rage when his wife refuses to hand over the documents.

Mr Mukhongo bribes the forensics to fake the autopsy results.

"Dad we need to follow them, like to make sure her body is kept in morgue"she groused.

"That's right baby let's go" he said.

He didn't want to say no tho her, he will do anything she asks. Now that she already suspecting him, he will prove to her that he was not involved in Elizabeth's murder.

Mish wanted to call Ivana in the middle of that night but decided against it. She didn't want to give her the heart attack with the sudden news. Considering the fact that she might be pregnant,She just texted her instead. She was seated at the back of the car with dad. She noticed that he was not showing any grieving emotions.

"Dad, she called him after studying him for a long time. "I can't believe that mum took her own life, l mean l had supper with her, she was so jovial, she didn't look suicidal, she is not suicidal!" She leaned to her father's shoulder as she wipped.

"Mish, shush, shhhh everything will be fine trust me. We will find out through autopsy baby," he tried calming her down.

"I don't believe that, mum decided to leave me alone, this can't be, pl..ease.. this is just a dream"

"You are not alone baby, besides l am here with you. So stop saying like that okay."

They reached the hospital and Mrs Mukhongo's body was taken to the morgue. Mish wanted to stay beside it but the morgue attendant refused saying that no one is allowed to stay inside. She viewed her body for the last time before the white sheet is pulled over her face.

Her father dragged her outside, still not believing that indeed her mother is no more. They gave the details about the new body in the morgue. Mish demanded for an immediate autopsy by tomorrow also she wanted to be present, something that her father didn't object. With money nothing is impossible in Mr Mukhongo's eyes.

They entered the car and the driver took them back to the mansion. Since the bedroom was an investigation scene, no one was allowed to access it. The investigative police had promised to come back the next day and continue with the investigation so the room was locked.

And beside Me Mukhongo was not ready to spend their a night as the scene was stunk in his head. He better sleep in the porch than go back there. 

"Dad l didnt understand...like will you please make me understand?, When you entered the bedroom did you find mum already dead? Or you were there when she gunned herself down?"

"Mish why all these questions? Why the interogation baby?, Look l told you when l came in l heard the sound of the bullet being fired. I ran towards the bedroom and found her in the pool of blood.Thats when l came to your room. Are you suspecting me or what?" he asked her with annoyed tone.

"It's not that l am suspecting you, but again you are the first suspect because your were the first person at the seen. The thing is where did my get the gun, the gun that l know we have the legal papers of possession is back home dad. Where did the gun come from?"

Experated sighs! "Mish when did you start being a NIS- National intelligence service.l am in a daze just like you,l don't know. I think it will be best if you ask the investigation team tomorrow."

And with that , he leaned his head back on the couch.' l hope this bitch doesn't found out that l am involved, l am sure if she does l am domed. She will make sure l spent the rest of my life behind bars' he thought then. "If you are tired you can go back to your room to try and catch up your sleep"

"Do you want to sleep? You can use the guest room! Surely dad,do you expect me to go back and sleep when my mum is dead? What do you think of me?. Are you even feeling the pain of losing someone who is very close to you, very dear to you?" Mish expressed out her emotions.

"Hey! Hey Mish don't forget that you are talking to your father. Don't forget that l am a man, and men don't show emotions. So you just don't understand what l am feeling deep down my heart, you can't understand.

"I wouldn't be surprised dad if the investigation team founds out that you are behind it.
