Chapter 1 1
The trip took place in the wake of the accident in the town. The wind blows everywhere, and rain can come in at any time. She woke up the next day and it was raining, she ran in for a short while to get home. When she was released, she went to their front door and her body began to shake. The door slammed shut and her dress torn on the accord. It was a woman who opened the door, she did not start talking or give her a room to pass. The woman then released the girl and gave her a look that was demeaning to her.
"Girl, do you have a chance to come back now? I sent you a long time ago and you decided to come back the time you feel like." "I'm sorry mother, it's lack of change that has stopped me" she said in her low voice. "Shut up, that's what you can do. Come on, go ahead and do the right thing." Entering the room, she clashed with Anna "And what is this? Can't you see where you're going?" "Sorry Anna. I didn't see you coming." "Better watch your front next time," she said as her middle finger swayed as she had an earpiece in her ear. Another look followed her. She went ahead to the kitchen and started planning a daytime cooking of pasta and sauce. She placed the pot and began her work. "Will you cook for us today too?" She is a girl who is not beyond the reach of Emily. Emily is light, tall and straight unlike Ruby whose height will be the same but Emily is chubbier than her. "Hey Ruby. Now I put the pot on the water I'm waiting for it to boil." Emily ushered noticing Ruby that walked in the kitchen. "Oh, last time I offered to help but you refused" Emily was quick in interrupting her. "If mother sees you, you and I both know the consequences" Ruby reacted her. "Well, what if she sees that we're all in a trance, just clear up?" After Emily and Ruby finished cooking, they each poured on their own plate and then went to the living room. "Ruby, what are you doing in the kitchen today?" This is their mother whom they call Aunty at times asked. "I was helping Emily" Ruby answered shortly. "So what do you have to do with her work?" Anna interjected who is struggling to press her phone. "How could Emily give us such food. She should not be given such a thing at home -" she finished her sentence with a smirk on her face. Quickly Emily lifted herself up. "I know you are very careful. Avoid getting into trouble." "Mother because I'm telling the truth, you are getting angry at me?" Ruby burst into tears. "I'm sorry Anty, this will never happen again" Emily said in a loud voice trying to hold on to her cry. "You're a real spit fire and that's exactly what I like about you!" The woman exclaimed passing Emily a hateful glare. "I told Daniel in the beginning that he should not take you in, but he was so concern that your parents are no more. As if we don't have a problem of our own" If there is one thing that Emily hates, is when her parents are being talked about i. So the woman doesn't know death is for everyone. Everyone has their own time of death. "Mother, you are also talking nonsense. She has risen to her position in this house. She does not even think it is not her father's house." According to Amelia who is now speaking for the first time. They kept hurling insults at her, which did not bother her because she's e used to hearing them morning, afternoon and night. Her room was made up of one single room with a mattress and her luggage on one side. A frustrated sigh visited her heart, the bitterness and resentment of them resulted in her. ** "Seriously mother if you don't do what you can, this girl will tame Ruby. Did you see how Ruby looks into your eyes and say all those things" Anna said, her face flushed with anger. "Hmm ... I'm also surprised that the girl I gave birth to looked into my eyes and say all those things. That she is saying the right thing." "All this is Daniel's fault. He's the one tying her up" "We are living in peace. Daniel has caused us a lot of trouble, and when he comes back, he will start looking for me. No matter what," said the mother. "I will have to deal with the situation before it gets worse." She ushered her eyes dancing towards the window. ** It is a car driving on the street at high speed, where the ground is hitting the race. It had to be right on the line and the car was slowing down. The window was closed up and you could not see who was inside. Her head was covered with a hair extension except for a small scarf she was wearing. "I had a great night" the man said holding her hand. A small smile made its way out of her lips. "So?" He said again hoping she would grab where his words are heading to. "Yes, hope we meet again or not?" "Don't worry about that. As far as you will keep to your promises." A wide grin broke out his lips. "Consider it done" ** At about five o'clock in the morning, Emily got up. She set out to start her morning work. She placed her hand on the doorknob finding it locked. She re-twisted it again, still. She wondered if there was a problem with the door. The sudden sound from the door made her snapped out of the reverie. "And what are you doing standing up and staring at me" The woman said, interrupting Emily from her thoughts. The quake itself seemed to have nothing to do with it. "Good morning Aunty" she said softly. "Only when you have finished watching me will you see me. And if my morning isn't good will you see me" Emily tried to keep a calm face. It's too early to create a scene. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that" she replied. "No matter what you mean. Just finish doing my house chores for me" before she reply back, the woman parted her side and walked past her. Emily wasted no time in dwelling on the woman's words. In less than an hour and a half she completed all of her chores that include cleaning, sweeping, washing . Then it was left the rooms of Ruby, Anna and Amelia. And if she tries to wake them up, she will find trouble for herself. That's why she left them to wake up and make adjustments according to their own taste.
