NUTOPIA
The balmy breeze swept roughly against the feel of her face and she shuddered, she did not know what to expect at this time, her meeting with Alhaji Musa was not meant to cause any problems, but with stories she had heard about his cruelty she doubted she wanted to face him alone. I'm just a young lad in need of this job and he alone has the power to help me she thought wryly to herself. I can do this she muttered.
The door opened and she walked in following the secretary while she stood in awe, the office was tastefully furnished and would be hers in no time, if only she "scratched his back too".
"Welcome Ms. Crystal," the voice said welcoming her back to the present
"Thank you sir" she answered cautiously
"No problem, so let's discuss business shall we? You know what to do.You are smart" he replied her in his impeccable English.
She entered into the courtroom with the air of one who belonged there, she was the kind of woman made from the strength of lions of most African women, loving but strict. She never mixed business, hated amongst the male folks, hated by most women but loved in times of trouble. The proceedings would start soon but she was a stickler to time. "Court rise" the clerk said minutes later "Case 002 between the state and Miss Crystal on the bases of bribery and molestation"
Alhaji Musa sat on one of the seats and cried silently, Crystal had come to meet him for a job, acting all seductive and after arousing him decided to start asking all innocent like she did not know the rules of the game. Stupid Bitch he did not molest her, he was going to say just that as the senator of the Federal Republic of Nutopia he would not be jailed.
"Can Miss Crystal step forward and provide her evidence" She has no evidence he muttered to himself and to his lawyer, she has nothing on me.
"My client is currently hospitalized as she is going through post traumatic stress and constant nightmares, with the permission of the Judge I shall now play the video" she said and proceeded to play the video. Alhaji Musa felt himself go red as he watched himself misbehave on tape. "This is preposterous, I'm a senator of Nutopia, turn it off" he wailed to the amazed courtroom. The video played to the end and filled the courtroom with silence, as an angered Senator Musa sat brooding. "My honour, we plead not guilty" Senator Musa's lawyer said and as a senator he deserves immunity, the country needs him. " And the constitution of Nutopia punishes cases like this, no matter your post, My Lord, this case has been a terror to the ladies and this has been confirmed why let him walk away and cause more harm, he must be punished" she said with ferocity.
"The court has come to a standstill and hereby sentences this man to thirty years imprisonment without parole, and with hard labour. Let it be known that nobody is above the law and the offence of corruption and molestation has been frowned upon, no need for further deliberation" the judge said while the court was filled with mixed feelings.
She smiled and walked towards Alhaji Musa and it was in that stance he saw the close resemble, there was no victim, Crystal had it planned all along, she had been the lawyer and the victim in a disguise so perfect he never realised. This was just the beginning Crystal muttered and walked out.
PS: This is a work of fiction, Nutopia derives its name from Utopia, Paradise and a place of perfection. I've created my own Utopia and in it I make things the way I want it to be. You can also tell me what you want in your own Nutopia
