Chapter 64

AMARACHI

  I yawned lazily and dragged my feets outside the house, holding a broom in my hand. I had woken up later than usual and I just wanted to do my house chores and possibly go to the shop.

The shop.

It's been long I went there.

   I remembered how Jordan saved me when aunty Lydia almost beat me to death.

A weak smile appeared on my lips as I recalled the event that brought us together.

A tear drop slipped out of my eyes.

"Stop crying Amarachi. You made the decision so stop crying"I admonished myself.

I walked outside but was surprised to see that the compound was swept.

My brows pulled together in surprise and shock.

Who could have swept it?

I heard some one singing in the backyard. I quickly scurried there.

I met Ogechi washing clothes and I spotted a pot on the stove.
