She got up and walked to the dinning room , where Amanda sat working on her laptop
” Sisi Amanda ” Maka called out , taking a seat down
” MMM ” she murmured
” I need a SIM card , I want to phone Gogo and find out how she is doing
” And do I look like a sim card shop ” she asked pressing her eyes hard on Maka
” No , I need you to take me to the sim card shop so I can buy myself a SIM card
” I am busy with important work as you can see and I believe you not blind … Yet
Maka got up and made her way to the bedroom . Her ears could not believe what she heard . Is this how she will live with her sister being bitter
” I hope you not planning on staying whole day in that room , if I ware you I would go out and look for the shop , use your brain ” she shouted
Maka shook her head , it’s really going to be tough living with Amanda and probably depressing
***************
Grace called out Gogos name when she reached the house Amina told her to go . The places was quite beautiful to her and clean . It seemed like Gogo had swept the yard
Gogo came out of a hut that was in between the toilet and another hut , which she assumed was the kitchen . Slowly walking , Gogo tried to recognise her face as if she saw her before . Grace smiled brightly showing her gap between her teeth.
” Good Afternoon ” greeted Grace
” I am good “
” I am Grace , the lady for the job. The one Amina said she would look for
” Ohhh , ohh come in my child , come in

Sitting drinking tea ,Grace and Gogo talked about themselves . Gogo wanted to know who Grace is where she comes from ,whoes wife she is incase anything happens to her while she works for her
Listening carefully to every word Grace said , Gogo plugged it into her mind
Grace was a woman who was almost in her 30s she was just about in the same agemate as her granddaughters ,Amanda was 27 while Maka is just 4 years younger
Grace is married and has no kids , she is married to Peter Manyika a police officer at CPS . She comes from Mondoro
” Are you able to do the job my granddaughter wants you to do ” asked Gogo
” Yes I am
“So what about your work at home
” Gogo don’t worry about that , I can handle both
” Are you sure
” Yes I am sure
” Oky then , I like you so you are hired , I will wait until my grandchild calls so that I can tell her the good news
” Oky Gogo , when can I start
” When you feel ready
