Gogo sits outside under the tree . She is thinking about her Grand daughter , Maka. It has been almost a week and Maka has not even called her to say that she arrived safe or even to greet her . Could Maka have forgotten about her ? . Gogo have tried calling Amanda but it always seems to go on voicemail . If Maka does not call her in the next few days then who will pay Grace her salary .
” This is why I didn’t want a maid before having the money , what will I tell Grace I can’t just use the poor child ohh god ” she said to herself
Maka was the one looking after her and there was no stress now Maka is gone and they have appointed some stranger to do all the chores Maka used to do and now Maka is no where to be reached .
*********
Manyika is not happy with his wife’s attitude that she is giving him . She is forcing him to marry another woman why is that ? He finds it so difficult to understand what woman would let her man get another woman , a woman’s enemy is another woman so why does Grace want him to marry another woman . Had he known that marriage is as difficult as finding gold he would have probably never stepped into one in the first place .
What should he do . He can’t continue living like this with his wife. He now remembers the advice his elder brother gave him on their wedding that if you want to live a happy home , do whatever your wife tells you to do even if it means washing the pots just do it or else you will never have peace . And now he seems that it’s true , woman just have a way of thing , they have a way of stressing a man out to his last nerves .
” Arg Manyika are you still in stress about getting yourself another woman ” asked Constable Chiware dropping a file onto the table .
” It’s eating me “
” You are eating yourself my friend , you are eating yourself MMM stop eating yourself and start eating something “
” Mxm it’s easy for you to say because you are not married to a wife who cannot have kids”
” That’s because I chose well”
” What you are trying to say “
” You got a chance to choose again , so maybe you can choose well this time “
” I can’t believe my ears ” Manyika said as he stormed out the office
Constable Chiware was left speechless , Manyika knows that he loves to joke why is he getting angry .
” Manyika is so foolish , just get yourself another wife . If many men had the opportunity to do so they would have .do you want to do it by hurting your wife ? “
Constable shook his head in disappointment . There is nothing he can do to help his friend realise that he has a simple task to do .
************
Maka trembled with fear inside her . She did not believe that her own sister would turn out to be a monster . A monster that is so evil even more then Satan him self .
Closing her eyes she let her tears run down. She is stuck . She can’t do anything because the monster she lives with forbids her to do anything. She has now become a maid in her sisters house . If only maybe she listened to Amina when she told her that South Africa was a bad country . She could have been in Canada right now working at her dream job in a hospital but now all that has faded . Amanda would not let her look for a job not to mention calling her gogo .
She wonders why Amanda hates her so much what changed . They used to be sisters , Mak always looked up to Amanda , her braveness and boldness was everything she ever wanted to have but now it seems like she is not the person she was before .
” Maka ” called Amanda
Maka immediately wiped her tears off and faked a smile as she made her way to Amanda’s room
” Yes my queen you called for me “
” I need you to go to the shops and get me these things that are on the list “
” But I do not know the shops around here “
” Excuse me what did you just say ” she asked side eyeing her
” I will go ” she took the paper and stuffed it into her back pocket .
” Its now 2pm I expect you back before 3″
Maka nodded her head and walked to her room . Standing behind the door she cursed under her breath .
” If only I had family around here I would have run away to them but I only know her and I am safe with her ” she murmured to herself as she removed her apron and threw it on the bed
***********
” Boss I am done cleaning ” Amina said .
” Oky good then , I will send you your money via bank “
” Oky boss ” she said smiling
Now is her chance to hack into his account and clear his bank just like she cleaned his room . Yes he will know it’s her but it doesn’t matter because she will be gone .
Smiling to herself Amina then laughed feeling satisfied with her plan .
**********
Maka walked into the house only to hear loud music playing . She wondered why Amanda was playing loud music with her door closed and the main door open . Anyone can walk in and steal everything without her hearing them or seeing them .
” Amanda ” Maka called out .
” AMANDA ” For the second time .
” Yohh this girl ” she dropped the plastics on the table and opened the door to Amanda’s room .
Her eyes ware wide with shock and so was her mouth . She immediately closed the door again .
***
” Do you not know that knocking does not kill ” asked Amanda with anger in her voice .
” Eish ” said a man that come out the bedroom . And immediately Maka recognised him . He was the man that was offering her his help .
He smiled at her when he saw her .
” Heyy ” he greeted her .
” Hello ” she replied sheepishly looking down
” You two know each other “
” No , I met her today when I was on my way here . I saw her on the road and she looked very lost so I offered her a lift but she refused “
” Good then , she must learn to walk like she is used to doing “
” Is she your maid I heard you speaking to the other day “
” Yes it’s her , anyways let’s go back inside . And you listen to me If you ever in your life walk in my room while I am having sex . I will make you watch us have sex so now unpack those things “
****
” Babe why are you so harsh with that maid “
” Xhanti she doesn’t deserve my kindness “
” Why ? ” .
” You wont understand let’s just continue where we left off ” she said slowly kissing his neck.
**************
What do y’all think about Amanda lying to Xhanti that Maka is her maid and not sisters
What do you think will happen?
