I walked around the garden in the evening allowing the fresh air into my heart. staying at the garden everyday gives me joy. after the event in the morning this walk is what I needed to free my soul from the hurt it felt. I banished my bad memories thought about my life in the village my fingers toyed with the flowers when unexpectedly the copper walked in with a woman, I was shocked to my bones . who is the hell that woman I thought in annoyance she looked st him and smiled and put his hand around her waist.
I have seen enough I said and matched to the kitchen without a word, Tina looked at me and asked what was wrong. is Tola getting onur neck again she asked??
I shoke my head now that she had mentioned it I haven’t set my eyes on that gal today and it was not my concern and I wish I never saw her ever again.
No she isn’t I said softly”,.
Then what is the matter with you she asked out of concern.
nothing g just a mood swing I answered” unable to stop myself , who is that woman with erm Mr Alex? .

oh is he back? that would be Lisa his fiancée she declared.

Fiancée? I shouted , she didn’t notice how I felt and thank God for that….
I don’t like her, she’s too arrogant and disrespectful I wonder what my boss saw in that woman. any way am sure it her beauty that captured him. she continued” she is too fine for her own good I wonder what I will do if her marry her my life would be hell.
I breached, ” marry”?
she faced me yes marry , our boss is already preparing the marriage plans by next month.
no it can’t be I shouted.
y are u like this . u already dislike her too. she asked in wonder.
I was finding it hard to breath it can’t be happening . I shoke my head quickly running out of the kitchen , I made a hasty retreat to my room I decided then and there that there* was no way am staying in that house again. this was obviously too much to bear. it high time I take the destiny of me and my child in my hands. I went to pack the few things I owned including my rags.

*****

I carried my sack of clothes effortlessly as I marched towards the sitting room angrily.
obviously I have had enough of this melodrama.
which has been constantly replay in my life. jezz, it was abundantly clear I made a mistake but should I be treated like a subject leper because of it. well it coming to an end. this has gone far because I allowed it. trying to pit how I felt under control before getting to the sitting room. I won’t spoil my exit ranting like a child.
I entered the sitting room unceremoniously
and my blood stilled before it explored to my head, Alex sat down on a chair and that snake of a woman was sitting on is lap, she ran her hand on his head , his chest , shoulder his lips anger boiled thru me . making me feel I will burst into pieces.

coper raised his head on a cold smiled on seeing me, I froze’. what going on here was he expecting me to show up. he did not look surprised or angry that I was standing there. it was as if he had know all the long that I would come there. he met my eyes and bent to kiss the lady’s shoulder and I almost explored to my feet, the woman head went backwards instantly and in the process saw me and she sat up
Who are u and what are u doing standing there she asked on a raised voice. I fixed her with an angry glare.
” I think u carry out ur improper inside the bedroom than fooling around here I retorted”.
she stood up from coppers leg with hands on her hip” are u mad” she yelled and turned to coper. Alex what the meaning of this and who is this girl she turned and looked at me from head to toe her anger seems to flare…. how come did u get a new Maid without informing me.


she has called him Alex that alone inflame me. why hadn’t I thought to call him in his name instead of copper am used to. maybe if I had he would seen me differently.instead of the secondary school drop out I am. anyway there was no way to re- write that mistake I am leaving.
Alex seemed a little shaken.
Don’t u dare call me a maid I shouted at her .
the looked like he would match and come and kill me.

And what are u , it was copper oh sorry Alex that spoke he was glaring at me as if daring me to speak, Oh he thought he had put fear in me to keep mute . he doesn’t know me at all.
oh I will tell u who I am, I said putting a wicked smile on my face I turned to face the queen diva when the door suddenly opened
I turned around to see the senator and his wife standing, if there is anything like bad timing their entrance would perfectly fit in. but that did not stop me at all.
get back to ur room amara Alex ordered”

I didn’t move an inch. the lady clapped her hands in bewilderment. like she was still finding it hard to understand what was going on. I turned to Alex parents since everyone seems to have forgotten their manner.I quickly put that right.

good morning sir, good morning ma, I greeted them bending down slightly. I move them to them given them a chair, am sorry for the scene u just witnessed, pls make ur self comfortable. feeling proud of my self. I knew that once I got out of the cloud I will be sorry for my self. I could be quite entertaining.they moved in with confusion. the senator smiled a little looking at everyone.
before they uttered their unspoken questions
I asked quickly what they would like to drink? I do believe we have something u would like to have,I knew nothing about what I was saying anyways.
coper no Alex I will have to practice to learn how to call his name, he seems grumbling something but I missed it, I put a nice smile on my face, pretending to be aware of the tension around me.
Alex mother glared at me saying I want nothing.
oh I would like something get me fruit wine please dear, the senator said. I smiled victoriously. I had no idea what a fruit wine look like but surly I will not disappoint them.
just a minutes sir with that I ran out of the parlor, into the kitchen meeting Tina I asked her where the fruit wine is kept. she said it in the wine bar in the parlor. my blood dried as she said that, I have just made a fool of my self I thought angrily . but nevertheless I will correct it. tola looked at me, what did u just do .

she questioned prepare to be sacked I just ignored her facing Tina pls where can show me the wine glass.
inspiration hit me I ran to the cabinet picking two glasses.

Madam that is not a wine cup tola shouted” I didn’t have her time I ran out.
as I placed the two glasses at their front. I explained pls make do of this glasses I fear the glasses at the bar might be unclean as it might not be good to ur system I was saying arrant nonsense I knew fulling well, but I parented I mean what am saying. I would just get the wine. I walked to the bar remembering Tina’s description. I picked the cherry wine I saw walked back to them trying to open the wine.
opening the wine was very difficult because I have never opened a wine before. the senator collected it from me saying it too hard for my tender fingers. I stood with a satisfied looked on my face.

can someone tell me what this maid is doing here, who the hell is she??
