Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

Lizzy POV

I wasn’t surprised when the man i had believed to be my helper called me a mad person, it’s normal though because he’s not the first person to say that to me. I noticed how surprised he was when Benita and Cicilian told him that they truly knows me, though i wasn’t surprised when i saw him with the girls that evening, the girls had told me a lot about their dad so i wasn’t surprised, I have known Benita and her twins sister Cicilian for a very long time, that afternoon i was just walking down the street when i saw the two girls sitting at the front of the school gate, guess they surely must have been waiting for their driver or better still their parent to come pick them up because as at the time i saw them, other students had gone to their various home and just few people were seen in the school compound. Just as usual i have gotten some money from people who i had begged from earlier that day so i got some money with me, but when i got to where the two girls were sitting i noticed one out of the two girls, she wasn’t feeling happy from the looks in her face, I can tell you that there’s something bothering her mind, so i decided to ask her despite the fact that i got no destination, i just feel like cheering her up that afternoon. Hey i called, the two girls looked at me but no one responded, guess they probably don’t want to talk to me maybe because of the way i have dressed i said in mind. Well since no one seems to want to talk with me, I decided to leave, i was about going when one of the little girls ask me why i am disturbing them, then i turn back, really i am sorry little girl i said as i turn back to face the two girls. After some silent then i break it, I guess you’re waiting for your dad i manged to ask, then the other girl who had remain silent for a while replied me, yeah he’s fun of coming late to pick us here in school she said. Oh it was then i now realized why she had been putting on that ugly face, so you’re angry at him i guess, i saw her looked at me before she continues yeah she replied. Well since i planned to make them happy then i asked if i can take them home, but the only problem they got is that non of them know the way to the house, have you eaten i asked the two girls which one of them nodded her head in a way that means yes but the other little girl corrected her by saying she’s hungry, thank goodness that the girls had really been playing along with me, since no one has ever talk like this with me, so i felt good talking with the two girls. If you don’t mind i can get you a snacks i said as i went opposite the road to buy some snacks for the two little girls. After i got it, i went back to meet them as i gave it to the two girls, then they collected it from me and ate it, that was how i got to know the little girls. Since then we have become good friends even sometimes when they see me anywhere, they will wave their hands at me which i also we wave back at them, this was how we have been greetings for months. So that very day they saw me while they were inside the car, it was Cicilian that called me first, reason why i went to say hi to the two little girls as we begins to talks before their dad later came to join us there, though after i left the place I felt disappointed because the man believed that i am a mad person but nevertheless i still appreciate the fact that he had once helped me somedays back. That afternoon, it was on tuesday I was just roaming around the streets when i noticed that i have lost the purse where i kept all the money that i have gotten for that day. So i turned back to search for it, I have walked for some miles but the purse was no where to be found, I don’t have any extra money with me and i am hungry already so i kept on walking and searching, just then i noticed a car parked beside me, since i don’t know anyone or rather do i expect anyone, i continue walking down the road, looking for the money.

Then i heard a call from behind, I looked back to see the caller, it was the same man, the man that helped me somedays back, I didn’t even remember that he was the same person that called a mad person, maybe because of the way he dressed, he was putting on a suit with a tie on his neck, but i am not too sure if it’s me he’s truly calling or someone else because i never expected someone like him to call me so i continue going on my way, not until he rushed to call me back, it was then i now realized that i was actually the one he was really calling. I was surprised because it really looks strange to me, then he greeted but seriously i don’t know why he was doing all this only if he knew how important the purse i was looking for was, seriously he won’t be here to stop me i said in my mind, sorry for saying such words to you at the car park the other day I’m sorry he said. That was when i now realized that he’s the same man that called me a mad person, it’s fine i said. I noticed his eyes for a while, guess he surely must have looked at me from head to toe before he continued, sorry you don’t look good with this clothes, this is not norma he said.

And if you don’t mind, i will like to know why you have been dressing like this for years he said. Seriously i don’t know where to start only if he knew that i don’t worth to be pity at all, I killed my parents, I killed all my family but how is it going to sound if i tell people about this, this has been my secret for a very long time and i never planned to tell anyone about it, I was just short of words as water kept coming out from my eyes, I think he noticed so he brought our his handkerchief and stretched it at me to wipe off my tears. Seriously this was the first time i felt loved again, the fact that no one has ever care to ask about my welfare or why i have been dressing like this for years makes me feel good, at least someone is here who cares about that.

Well I’m sorry it’s personal i said as i stretch the handkerchief back at him but i was surprised when he told me to have it, you mean you give me? I asked, then he nodded his head in a way that means yes. Thank you i said as i continue walking down the road in search of the purse and the money inside, though i heard him call me severally but i didn’t responded as i continue walking on my way.

After some miles walk, I looked back to see that he had left already, seriously i just felt weak within me, it was as if someone just cracked at my wound again, I went to sit somewhere besides the road as i cry bitterly, I just couldn’t take it anymore, I truly miss my family, I miss my mom, i miss my dad, why do i have to kill him i said as water kept coming out from my eyes, seriously that day was another bad day of my life
