Malem's POV
We just landed and my first plane experience was anything but exciting, I peed my pants ,I almost threw up, but praise be to Heavens I survived, I am a survivor, I fought and came out alive . Okay maybe I am exaggerating my experience but believe me when I say it was scary. But it eventually became interesting, we received VIP treatment and I learned it was because we were flying FIRST FUCKING CLASS,forgive my cursing but this man must be rich for us to be given such special treatment.
I was treated like a queen and of course I explored my taste buds as I drank and tasted different wines and much to my Mother's displease , but I didn't care I didn't know when next I'd be getting this experience and I was going to live now, soon I knocked out and woke up when we had landed, we got out and we had someone waiting for us out front.
He loaded our clothes into the back of his luxurious looking car and we drove off in the luxurious car, yes I cannot emphasize enough how luxurious the car was, the windows were tinted and inside the car was neat , it also scented expensive and the seats were leather , and comfortable.
Soon we got to the house were we would be working, yes I said we, over time I learnt little things I saw my mum do and whenever it was private like this I usually helped out although she did not like it, I knew she needed my assistance. And wait wait wait, did I say house, this was far from being a house it was a Mansion, it was very huge and beautiful, they were about 3 or more little buildings around, It was really huge and I could not wait to explore every corner of it. My mouth was left ajar staring round and admiring my surrounding, From the front of the house the gate was pretty far from it, but the was a detailed trail of properly treated grasses on either side leading to the house and tall trees on each side, before getting to house, there was a bungalow on the rear left , which had cars packed in front of and I also noticed some men in suit around it, some where not in suit tho, but I assumed it was where the security guards stayed , there was another building beside the house but it was open and it had swings surrounding it, which I will also assume is for thw little boy my mum will be caring for. My observation was interrupted by my mom.
" Are you coming in or will you keep standing there" she said in an annoyed tone, I nodded at her and started walking towards her. I turned and noticed our luggage was already inside and I did not notice.
" And close your mouth will you, you don't want a fly finding its way in there now" she continued as she turned walking into the house. And I followed behind her quickly.
We stepped into the house and I was blown away the house looked so expensive everything was well detailed, I did not have time to properly admire the house as a man came walking down the stairs and all attention went to him of course I assumed he is the owner of the place, with the reaction to his presence.
He came straight to my Mum as he smiled cheekily, it almost seemed fake.
" Ahh Mrs Martin welcome, how was your Journey here " he said as he took my mother's hands in his shaking her
" it was very comfortable, thank you Sir" my mum answered politely
" Good Evening Sir " I said shyly behind my mum as he has refused to recognize my presence and I couldn't wait any longer to be noticed.
"You must be Ermah, how are you my dear" he said smiling at me creepily and patting my shoulder weirdly, he truly had no experience with children , I almost shoot my head, but fought to resist it.
" I'm fine Thank you Sir, " I said in the most polite manner and I turned to look at my mum who smiled at me in approval.
" I will show you to your rooms, you will be staying in the house not as previously planned, the workers quarters may be too far and who knows what time and when my Son might need you. There is a guest room downstairs, I thought you'd stay in the same room as your daughter but seeing she is all grown up, I'll have a room prepared for her upstairs immediately" he said after observing me for a bit, I already liked this man, staying in this huge house will be a pleasure for my sight seeing I'm already itching. I shivered excitedly. He called out a maids name I can no longer remember who carried my mum's luggage to her room and later disappeared up with my luggage up, he later showed us the major places we will be entering and went up giving us time to refresh and dress as dinner was being prepared . My mum pulled me to her new room and I inwardly groaned because I knew that look on her face too well , it was time for her series of advice.
" Malem, listen to me carefully for a word my dear is enough for the wise" she said seriously as she pulled at her ear slightly in demonstration.
" Yes ma" I answered respectfully.
" This is a new job and it means everything to us, you see this people I do not want to see you around them, stay in your room and study that is the only business you should have here, most importantly I know you, do not snoop around, do not go anywhere that is not my room, your room , the kitchen or outside, any other room is not your business and you see how large this place is, I don't want you to get missing in it," she stopped talking then I looked up to face her, then she continued
" I hope I have made myself clear" she finally concluded
" Yes mum, I will not snoop around, and I will mind my business but mummy there is no school so why should I study" as soon as my latter words came out I regret it, I knew she will keep an extra eye out and make sure I comply.
Malem’s POV " See the nonsense that is already coming out of your mouth, I will talk to Mr Down about your transfer and from there we will enrol you and get you book to read ahead of the school session, Malem I am tired , we will continue this discussion when the time comes but better take heed to my words" before I could respond the maid from earlier knocked on the door and told me to follow her, I excused myself and followed behind her, I used the opportunity to admire the house, whoever this man was he had to be a billionaire, I started taking note of the way to my room, it was on the extreme end of the pathway, it looked empty and lonely with light in the pathway as guide, we finally got to my room and my eye balls literally fell out and rolled on the floor, the room was beyond amazing it's was beautiful, it had a plain white and deep grey painting which had a royal touch to it, the bed was queen size with purple beddings , there was a large screen TV oppo
"Hope you two did not do what I think you both did in my bathroom" I said in a semi annoyed toneHope they did not do the marital deed in my bathroom, one thing would not happen if they did and that would be forgiveness!!!!!! They have stained the purity of my house. I feel like howling out load in disgust. I would have to scrub my bathroom later."Well maybe we did" she said in a low mischievous tone.Before I could understand what she meant and respond she walked far ahead of me and went to talk to Madam Joan.I did not want to be rude so I did not bother moving towards them so I did not eaves drop on them.A while later she came back."Do you know the hardest part of today is lieing to Madam Joan about not knowing where Michael is" she sighed out"Yeah, but it is better for her not
Michael's POVI was still fuming , why would my Dad bring me here, It's not that I didn't like it, but this place was flooded with memories of my Late Mother and it hurt so much staying here. So I have decided to hate it.I was pretty sure my Dad just wanted to dumb me here so he could go on and make money, that's all his good at after all.I did not say much on our flight here because, we were with some of the workers and I didn't want to cause a scene before he decided he didn't want a son. Deciding to send me away was more than enough scar.I headed down to tell my Father, I will not stay here and I will be leaving this house tomorrow.As I headed down, I saw my Dad talking to an Elderly woman and her Daughter, my guess, there was a little resemblance.The gir
Malem's POVI woke up early as I usually do at home, I made my bath and quickly made my way down to meet my mum and know what to do next."I knocked on my mums door before entering and she was also well dressed and sitted on her table was probably waiting for Mr Down to come down and she could start her job." Good Morning Mum" I said Chirpy as I sat on the bed" Morning Dear, Hope you were able to sleep well", she asked as she kissed my head" Yes Mum I did , the bed is so comfy" I smiled as I replied. She smiled and nodded." Take me up to see your room so I can keep an eye on you better" she said seriously and I was tempted to roll my eyes at her..." Okay Mum, let's go up" I said as I stood up and adjusted my skirt.On way out of the room the room we met Mr Gary Dow
Michael's POVAfter having a cordial lunch with the family. I headed back to the garden.No one really knew this, but this was my favorite place, it made me calm and happy. And most importantly it reminded me of my mother. She loved this place a lot. She spent a lot of time here and she even thought me how to make and care for a flower bed.I noticed that ever since we left here nobody tended to the garden and there was so much grass that had sprouted out. And I wanted this place cleaned up. It would have been easier to tell the men to come do it, but I knew the job would not be satisfactory, so instead I went to the store in garden and brought out the tools I was going to do it by myself.I sat on the bench once more taking in the Air and enjoying the environment, I closed my eye and leaned back and allowed thoughts of a certain girl fill my mind , I
" No way mum I already told you that I was not going to attend any function of his, he can go and take a puppy to his function not me" I replied rudely as I continued typing on my system." come on please, I had it custom made for you and I know your custom made clothes are usually your favorite you will love this one" she insisted nicely, which got me more upset, why didn't she understand that I did not want to go. I broke the wine bottle beside me and screamed, then my mum rushed outside to see me and make sure I was okay" what will it take for you to go away, I said no already i am not going for the party so why do keep asking, I will shred those clothes until they become rags, just leave" i shouted at her and she flinched in fear, her gaze dropped to the piece of broken glass on my hand, then she looked up at me, her eyes filled with tears because I always broke her heart and most times she was forced to understand
Malem's POVI heard a knock on the door, I went out to check but there was no one. I guess it was my boredom that was getting the best out of me.I went back and laid on ny bed. I groaned loudly , not in agony or pain or anger. But sheer boredom.I allowed my mind to drift, I was so worried about my new life here. Making friends, being the new kid and all, I hated being the new kid. I hope I did not do anything to cast and become a laughing stock.Translations:Cast: it means to disgrace one's selfLaughing stock: someone that every one mocks.I was yet to talk to Mum about getting a new Sim, or maybe I should just ask Mr rude face about it. He seemed to be in a better mood ever since our conversation in the garden.I needed to talk to Bisandu
