บท 112: The Awaited One
“Are you Dr Abbas?” Justin asked. “So you heard about me.” He said. “I am your real father and that is your mother.” Aadila had to let him go, and Dr Abbas hugged him. It was so surreal to Justin.
He was finding it hard to believe. As he embraced his father, his eyes met Lena’s. She now understood what she felt for him, the love and affection that swept through her when she saw him. She had been told she had a brother who got missing just months after his birth. And she always wanted a brother, craved for one, and at that moment when they were competing, and he won her but let her feel like she won, and she hit him on the chest slightly, it was the natural bond between them in play.
Justin released his father to hug Lena. This was the hug he felt like giving her since the first time he saw her. He did not know why, but he felt something for her and he was surprised the way he flowed with her. Whiteman quickly played a flashback of how he treated Justin since they met and hoped he would not be in his black book. If this was true, then Justin was the one they have been looking for and that meant he was going to be in control.
“Come on, let’s get out of here.” Dr Abbas said. “He needs to rest.” Aadila said. “No one is talking to him now.” Dr Abbas was going to tell the council. The awaited one was around and this was his best day. He had a son and he was back!
There was a lot to ask the boy, a lot to explain but not now. Tiger 606! He felt his lips twitching. “My real name is Aaliyah.” Lena said as he was being led to a room. “I love you.” And tears accumulate in her eyes.
He smiled at her. “I love you too.” There was a grand reception that night as dinner was organized for him. He saw people of importance and wondered who his parents were and why he was given so much attention.
There was a lot of emotions when he told them about his history. He told them what he went through in the hands of Aminu who was claiming to be Dr Abbas, the life he lived since he was nine years old and how he was deprived of formal education. The parents cried, especially Aadila.
Dr Ababas told him how he and his mother went through a lot before they got married. They met in college and he found out that she was not living with her biological parents. She was an orphan and lived with her uncle. They maltreated her and nearly killed her when they discovered that she was dating him.
The uncle wanted to marry her off to a friend of his. It was a tug of war before she finally got married to him. It was at the time of their courtship they discovered each other’s talent.
Aadila was a gifted biologist and she ended up studying medicine and surgery to become a medical doctor. Not just a doctor but a researcher and specialist.
Abbas was a theoretical Mathematician and physicist with exceptional gift. These two was a couple to be reckoned with. These led them to be part of the movement: The bastion of ethics which was an organization formed by young military officers immediately after the second world war.
The pioneers of this group were in what was called ‘The list’. They were men who fought the war and saw the millions of lives claimed, destruction of properties and they saw the hands of despotic oligarchs controlling the world.
These men were talented and started the organization with a small amount of money. That was before the Treasure Island was discovered: a place where Germans hid tons of gold, and art works. That was when they organized to get it.
Justin’s grandfather was part of these men. They went through thick and thin to get the treasures and the beginning of the divide popped up. Some of these men suggested that the money should be shared among them and only ten per cent should be put into the organization. There was a debate and vote. Majority were for the organization. This was the incipience of a hidden rift even though they all feigned to be okay with the outcome.
One of the men who wanted the money to be shared was David Vasitto. One of the leaders of those who wanted the money to be used for the organization was Haliru Babangida who was Dr Abbas’s father, Diego Sanches Who was Angela’s father, Ford Rickson who was Mason’s father and Haliru’s close friend.
Haliru was a Nigerian who served bravely and settled in USA after the war. Then the man made a list of the original men. The first Grandpappe , the leader of the group was Haliru, Justin’s grandfather. He was a man with foresight and exceptional brilliance. He devised a code, and means of communication which made it possible to relate without meeting each other.
There was a central administration which was in charge of disseminating information, given orders, and management. These men were scattered around the world and began a company called BOE.
They never revealed the meaning of the acronyms. It meant Bastion of Ethics. They wanted a world where war was not a means of resolving conflicts, better health and technology. Some of these men were part of the brains behind some great inventions during the world war.
Haliru was a Physicist and regretted his contribution to development of some virulent bombs which were used for the war to destroy lives and properties. The company flourished and he made a way where the members could make money but it depended on your knowledge.
Inventions were and ideas had a lot of monetary value. The organization paid a lot and some of them made a lot of money. Haliru himself became so rich because he invented six machines for the company.
David Vasitto had no talent in this. He was an excellent soldier, brave, fierce and rugged. To calm him, he was made the head of a branch of the company in Brazil. He embezzled money, gambled, drugs and women. Diego was not a scientist but an economist. He was sent to Brazil to see the financial affairs. David tried to bribe him but he refused.
David was sacked and expelled. So he organized the rebels and they secretly planned to execute the founders suspected to be the ones stopping their success. He was already involved with mafias. And they got stronger, with their children growing up to join the organization. The Bastions believed in continuity and they trusted their blood more.
They trained their children for the course. Don joined, same as Abbas and Mason who was his childhood friend. Mason had talents. He was a geologist, and played a great role . Don, unlike his father was good at Government and international politics. They were called the second generation.
David and his accomplices instigated some second generation members and formed a secret cabal. They planned a putsch: to eliminate the ‘enemies’ and take full control of the organization. They succeeded in killing two members but they did not know the rest. That was a result of Haliru’s foresight. That was when the internal crisis escalated and sinister became more prevalent.
Mason became more virulent . And he began to recruit more men outside BOE and Tiger 606, which was a code name given to Aminu Saminu who was part of them. Aminu was a cleaner and Mason noticed his avaricious inclination.
Haliru was born and bred in Nigeria. His father was a wealthy farmer and was very inventive but had no formal education. The colonial masters noticed his prowess and saw the sign of intelligence in the then young Haliru. They made sure Haliru had formal education after much dabate. The villagers said it was an apostasy to engage in western education and they used to sing a song, reproaching those who went to school. Yan makarantan bokoko (western education students) Ba karatu ,ba salla ( no recitation of Qur’an, no prayers) Sai yawan zagin mallam ( all they do is insult Islamic teachers).
But Haliru went to school before he was drafted into the army. He was very intelligent with a high IQ. It was after the war he settled in USA, he got married and had three children. Abbas was the last child and showed more intelligence. It seemed their lineage had high IQs.
Abbas was so brilliant he was inducted into BOE at a very early age. Abbas and Aadila had their first child and just two weeks later, the child was discovered to have an IQ that was dumbfounding. The word was whispered to the elders. A meeting was held and a consensus reached. They had to plan against the future and they had found a boy that may have the ability to face the task.
