Rim stopped crying and decided to be the person she is right now. A maid. Even though she feels like she is dreaming, she forced her mind to accept the fact. She had to get it that however much she misses and cry for her father and brothers,they will not come back.
And for her mother, Rim just prayed that there will be a miracle and she came to see her alive one day. After all till now her dead body a word that sounds too harsh to her ears wasn't found.
She doesn't no cooking, cleaning and other related house chores. She got her phone and opened YouTube.
She is greatful that there is wifi in the villa that you can use however much you want.
Since the old lady was kind to her, Rim wanted to please her and also make her fellow servants who look down on her more jealousy.
She downloaded few cooking videos from YouTube to her phone. She thought to start with cooking. Every maid in the villa has a day to cook. But because the old lady whom she call grandma like others knows her problem, someone else always cook on her day.
She watched the videos again and again. When she was sure that she mastered how to cook two or three dishes, Rim tossed her phone aside and went to the bathroom.
She changed into her short maids uniform when she was done. She always wondered why grandma had her uniform shorter than the rest of the maids. Could it be that she gave me the uniform based on my clothes l always wear. She pondered inwardly.
Just as Rim existed her room which is opposite the visitors room and adjacent to the TV room on the first floor of the villa, the main door flew open from outside.
Grandma, his grandson's girlfriend whom Rim remember her name as Tanasha came in.
She run and hugged grandma. Grandma hasn't been around for a whole month. She had gone to visit her other relatives on the other side of the city.
Rim missed this old ladyv so much because she comforted her at that time when she needed something like that when she just a lived here.
Oh my dear you look more beautiful each passing day. How have you been. Grandma said cheerfully at Rim. A thing that didn't sound too good into Tanasha's ears.What trick did this girl played to be favored by the old lady
Tanasha rolled her eyes at the way Rim hugged grandma.
Its clearly known that this old lady isn't a social person and doesn't like maids too near by. Well let me wait to see how things flow. She smirked.
Grandma don't start your sweet talks you just arrived you must be tired come and have a rest quickly. Rim went on to say with a beaming smile.
She was happy that grandma came back. She is the only person in this villa that Rim laugh with or smile at. When she realized that the other maids didn't like her, Rim also restrained herself from having anything to do with them. She took the old lady to the dinning table. After helping her sit comfortably, Rim said hello to Tanasha who just waved her hand at her. Rim cared less at her action and went to pour juice for them.
Grandma likes apple juice and it happened to be available in the fridge. She got it and added little warm water because the old lady doesn't like very cold things. She poured another glass of milk for Tanasha. She always saw her drinking milk when she comes to visit. I hope she won't find any trouble because l got her something to drink for the first time. Rim purred to herself inwardly.
She put the two glasses on the tray and headed to the dinning room which is combed with the living room.
She was walking facing the direction of the dinning room and didn't notice the person that was coming from the main door thus they collided. Both juice and milk stains went on the other person's white shirt as the glasses violently smashed onto the floor making a loud sound that drew the attention of the people in the villa.
Rim trembled as the deep typical green eyes of a man lingered on her skin. She hauled her head down avoiding the man's gaze.
For more than five minutes Rim dare not move or raise her head.
Don't you know how to apologize or clean up this mess. The man roared sending more shivers at Rim. In her entire life, no one has ever shouted at her. Seeing her at the edge of crying, the old lady came to her rescue.
Malik since when did you become so rude to a woman. Can't you see that it was just an accident? The old lady snapped
.
Grandma don't be fooled by this kind of a woman. Doesn't she have eyes to see where she is going.l don't even believe that she came to work as a maid in the first place. What kind of a maid look like this. Malik replied after the oldlady accused him of shouting at a woman.He just checked the young girl in front of him and couldn't find anything bad on her. What game did she think she is playing. This the Johnson family incase she doesn't remember. Play tricks won't help her. It will instead lead her into trouble.May be she was sent by our enemies. He continued to think in his mind. His eyes not leaving her entire body.Rim rose her head from the ground on the broken pieces of glass she been looking at for a while and stared directly in Malik's eyes.What do you mean what kind of a maid look like this? Rim asked Malik. He was settled. No maid has dared to look him in the eyes and give him a question.Not even dare stand near him for a minute.
It was dark when Rim woke up. Realizing that she didn't have evening work today, she decided to learn more of her cooking by the help of YouTube.Tomorrow is her day to cook she must practice what she has learnt.As the old lady didn't see Rim when she by passed the kitchen, she told one one of the maids Rosalinda to go and call her. Hearing the knock on her room door, Rim logged out of YouTube and opened the door. Grandma want to see you. Rosalinda said un willingly and disappeared from Rim's sight like she was being chased by a ghost.Rim got used to their behaviors so she wasn't affected but only wondered what the old lady could be wanting her for.She put her phone into her suit case, locked it and strolled out of the room. She looked for the old lady and she wasn't in the living room or dinning table Rim went straight to the kitchen.Reaching there, Rim saw the old lady happily chatting with Magdalena. She waited for them to stop and then appr
Rim didn't want to take the money. After all she is paid her salary.And thinking that there is no difference from her and other maids, she was really reluctant. But the old lady pretended to be hurt.She had no choice but to take it. Am so happy my child that you did something like that.I knew it that you will make me proud one day. But l didnt expect it to be too soon. The old lady resumed her smile and said to Rim.Hmm training her into someone good won't be that diffucult. The old lady cheered with in.Hmm thank you grandma and don't worry l will do my best to learn everything slowly. Like a child that has been praised of doing something, Rim told with a beaming smile.Hmm okay dear did you finish preparing yourself if not go and do it quickly because the moment Malik comes down, we will be leaving. The old lady informed. Magdalena please go check on others if they are done. By the way did you all finished having breakfast? The old lady continued.No
Rim dressed in her clothes she prepared last night. She was looking too good in them. Malik found staring at her more than necessary. So maids dress like this. Hmm slowly by slowly her true aim will be out soon. Can a maid dress like this. Actually Malik loved her way of dressing but he was finding it difficult to accept it.So sorry grandma to make you wait but l couldn't find my hair pins in time so l delaid. Rim apologized. The moment she sat in the car. It's okay dear we didn't wait that long. What's important is that you are here now. The old lady replied. And ordered the driver to start the car.Rim sat in front with the driver, the old lady and Malik behind. If not the ring of his phone, Rim wouldn't have realized that Malik was also inside the car.She didn't see him when she entered.The drive to Sand beach was in silent most of the time, only the old lady and Malik could exchange few words. took them only 45 minutes. It is Sunday making the road free of

Rim got out of Sarah's embrace. She was about to ask her some questions but then she caught a glimpse of Tanasha staring at them as she came nearer. So Rim hesitated.Mother in law here you are! I was looking for you everywhere. Tanasha choroused not sparing Rim an eye like she is invisible.Ahh Tanasha l have been here all along what is it you want to tell me. You can go a head. Sarah replied.When Rim heard that Tanasha wanted to have a word with her mother in law, she said;Mom l will leave the two of you talk. Am going in the water now.Okay dear but be careful. Don't drown yourself okay? Sarah replied to her. Okay l will was Rim's reply before she disappeared out of their sight.She went straight into the bathroom and changed her red bikini to pink one. After she was done, she tired her hair into two big pigtails. She also applied pink lipstick to her lips before she went down near the lake. She started taking selfies.Every thing she c
Malik repeated the process two times until Rim's chest begun to rise. She started to breath again. But she was too weak to even lift a finger.Malik then pamped her chest by his strong fingures and Rim released all the water she had drunk.Rim later opened her eyes slowly but then she closed it. She needs hospital now. Malik informed them.Tariq where is my car keys or go get the car ready we will send her to the hospital right away. Sarah said worriedly. Malik will she be okay why has she closed her eyes again? The old lady asked. She was blaming herself to bring them here. Such a little girl to suffer what if she wasn't seen in time. Oh God please heal her soon. She kept on praying in her mind.Don't worry grandma. The first aid l gave her will help for a while until she reaches the hospital. Be rest assured. She is just too weak. Malik explained again.Hmm okay was the reply for the old lady.But she really felt uncomfortable about Rim's situatio

They forgot that am Malik Johnson who can't tolerate anyone's trick. Malik continued.Then good
