ALPHA SNIPY– A VALIANT MAFIA LORD

Watching him leave broke my heart into several pieces that I didn’t even comprehend when I started sobbing.

I only realized that I was sobbing when Chris as the Doctor called him passed me a hankie and having no other option I took it from him.

“You don’t have to cry, Master. Please stop crying. You will surely get out of here.”

“I don’t want surely Chris. I want now. I really need to leave. Don’t you understand?”

“I understand Master. Don’t forget that I brought you here. I saw everything that happened and I know you want to go back to the war going on. To be honest, I’m willing to help you achieve that cause I love Lord Snipy as much as you do.”

A smile crept into my face but got replaced with a deadpan frown as quickly as it came when the words of the doctor flowed back into my head.

“You heard it when your Doctor said that I can’t walk around Chris. How then will you accomplish that? How will you get me out of here?” I babbled in heavy breaths.

“Why not relax and allow me to think over this Master. I know you really want to get out so I’ll surely do my best to get you out of here. That’s a promise.”

“When will that be Chris? I need to leave right now. Each second I waste here is so vital. And Snipy needs me more than anything now.”

“It’s not possible to get you out now or even today Master. Just relax, please. Moreover, Lord Snipy has been fine for four days now so why won’t she be fine for just a few more days…,”

He was still talking when a young woman walked in with a little girl in her right hand and a flask in her left hand. They strolled to us and smiled when their eyes landed on me.

“You must be his wife. Gosh! You are so beautiful I must confess.”

She blushed beet red like a teen and bobbed.

“Mum is blushing! Mum is blushing!” The little girl exclaimed, freed her hand from her mum’s grip, and began jumping up and down.

“We are in a hospital daughter. Stop the noise ok?” Chris mumbled and she gasped out and covered her mouth with her right hand.

Her mum chuckled and poked her cheeks. “Don’t mind her master. She’s always been this way. And I’m so sorry if she disturbed your peace. Please for…,”

“Nah, it’s fine. I love playful kids so much so there’s nothing to be sorry about.”

She smiled, strolled to where I laid, and ruffled my hair.

“A blissful and welcome morning to you Master. It’s so nice to know that you survived and it’s so good to have you back. I brought you breakfast.”

“The Doctor that attended to me said that I can’t use my waist and that I must always lie down so how am I going to eat that?”

“It’s just so easy uncle don’t worry. The Doctor said you can’t use your waist down right?”

I nodded to the little girl’s question and groaned out lowly in pain not wanting them to know the kinda pain I was in. It just felt like my whole body was on fire and my heart kept aching. I felt a little relieved when I felt pain in my legs and waist region too. At least I wasn’t paraplegic as I had feared when the damned Doctor said I couldn’t use my waist down.

A soft hand poked my side drawing my attention to it and I smiled when I saw it was the little kid. “What’s wrong girl. Why are you staring at me that way?”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“You’ve been off so I’ve been waiting for you to come back to us but when you wouldn’t I decided to poke you. And see? It brought you back” she smiled but suddenly stared at me affectionately like one who wants to cry and her once glowing face turned depleted.

She stretched her hands to mine and squeezed them softly. “All will be fine uncle. Jah will surely heal you and take you back to the war. Don’t be surprised at how I got to know that you fight. I eavesdropped on mum and dad last night. I’m so sorry about everything but don’t be sad anymore. Remember, big boys don’t cry. You will surely be fine as long as Jah lives. And soon you will be walking and jumping like me again.”

Her words touched the innermost part of my heart and I pulled her into a soft embrace.

“Thanks, baby girl” I breathed lowly into her ear and tickled her just to ease up the tension and it worked out perfectly cause she started laughing and disengaged from the hug.

Her parents who I was quick enough to see wipe off their tears smiled too and ruffled her hair cause she ran into their arms.

“So you wanted to tell me how I was gonna eat baby girl. I’m listening now before you say that I’ve been off again.”

She giggled and rolled her eyes. “My mum here will raise you a little and relax you on her body and then you will start eating. Once you’ve eaten to your full she will drop you back. You see? Easy!”

If there was any other word to use instead of ‘surprise’ then that was what I would’ve used to qualify how I felt at that instant hearing those words come out of her pink glowing lips.

“What’s your name baby girl and how old are you?” I inquired not being able to hold back myself.

“My name is Aria and I’m just six years old. I know you didn’t ask this but I’ll just tell you cause I want to. My mum’s name is Victoria.”

“Your smartness has gotten so deeply into my heart and thus I’ll be taking over your education. Everything you will ever need will be on me. I can’t wait to see you make history my smartie. Come to uncle.”

“Mum and dad did you guys hear that!” She exclaimed and rushed into my already open arms. “Thank you, uncle. Thank you so much!”

“Thank you, Master. This means a lot to us.”

“Thank you, Sir. Thank you so much. How can I ever repay what you, Declan, and Lord Snipy have done for us? We deeply appreciate.”

I pecked Aria on the forehead and smiled up at her parents. “It’s nothing. I owe you all my life and I’ll do everything in my power to give you all the best life ever. I promise.”

They tried to kneel but I was quick enough to shake my head since I couldn’t reach them with my hands and they heeded.

“I feel I just found out a strategy you can use to leave here and go about your activities Master. But it will require me to call Lord Snipy. What do you think?”

I shook my head. “I want my survival to be hidden for now. I can’t afford to risk your lives cause notifying her that I’m alive will cause that. Can’t this your so-called plan be carried out without her knowledge?”

“It sure can. But first, you need to eat. It’s almost time for your medication. Once you’ve eaten and taken that. We will discuss that.”
