Life of an illiterate - S01 E08

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

*

BACK to the two sisters home, their mum tried calming them down but they were just too stubborn. The tension in the home became more and more uncomfortable for them. Though Clara accepted her fate and calmed down but her elder sister wouldn’t. She kept speaking about revenge, revenge, revenge getting her mum really annoyed. She brought up the topic few hours later on then moving to the USA since that was where they had all come from anyway. Clara got worried about her education but her mum told her not to.

On the day they were to leave for the airport, she felt guilty realizing the boy had been right all along. She had also over reacted as well by pushing his hand away and rudely calling him an illiterate. She ought to be punished to right? But no one bothered to scold her or punish her. They had all taken her side because she was a literate. The poor guy had to take the scolding for them both.

“Sister you have to get ready now. We are leaving” Sandra told her dragging her suitcase out.

“Don’t you think this isn’t fair sister?” Clara asked.

“I don’t understand you. What isn’t fair? ”

“I had insulted him yesterday really badly. I crossed the line so many times but no one scolded me for it. He only reacted to all my insults”

“You won’t understand my dear little sister. He shouldn’t have raised his hand on you. He could have hit you to the pulp you know. Don’t take his side. He is an hot tempered and wild beast. That’s how they are. They can never be like us. I was so foolish thinking he was a cute gentleman. I was already falling for his looks sef but he fall my hand big time. I really liked him sha ”

“I am sure he wouldn’t have got me. He wanted to but he would have held himself”

“Why are you defending him so much as if you have known him for ages?,”

“You are treating him this way because he is an illiterate. That’s not fair at all. All this isn’t his fault”

“Alright… Alright… Let’s forget this”

“I won’t go anywhere Sandra. I want to apologize to him and his aunt. He must have gotten really hurt”

“Don’t do all this. Leave everything for now. Mum is waiting for us downstairs. I also want to apologize too but there is time for everything ”

“But…. ”

“Let’s go already! ” Her sister urged dragging her out of the room struggling with her other suitcase.
