On the following day, Nasha was seen sitting with Annabel who informed her about a vacancy in a bookstore where she could take a part job.
“Nasha, the bookstore has a vacancy and I think that you would like to take a part-time job there. “ Annabel said convincingly.Then Nasha excitedly snapped “Oh really? I’ll be glad to apply. I’ll go check it out tomorrow. Thanks a bunch, bestie”.Annabel smilingly accepted the appreciation with nods then proceeded to enquire how things were going at the University of Cambridge.But the presence of Richardson interrupted her talks. Annabel was the first to see him as Nasha didn’t take notice of him until he stood very close to her.When Nasha observed his presence, she hastily stood up, carried her bag, and attempted to walk away. Then Richardson tried to stop her but she shoves him off and ran out of the place. “Nasha, Please, wait. Please, let me talk to you. Please… I’ve been hurting badly. Please, wait… “ Richardson cried out.Annabel, having known Nasha's personality, told Richardson not to waste his time trying to talk to Nasha, cos she would never going to listen to him. “Hey Richardson, I don’t mean to disrespect you but you have to give Nasha some space to heal.”Annabel hastily took her bag and dashed off to her apartment, leaving Richardson standing lonely at the spot like a solitary reaper.********************************************On the next day, Nasha and Annabel were seen at the bookstore, talking about the previous incident before they were interrupted by Star who brought good news to Nasha.“Hey Nasha, guess what?” Star said smilingly.Nasha turned to Annabel as they briefly communicated with their eyes, then she later turned to Star smilingly, and requested that he share the good news. “Star, I'm not too good with guesses, please, tell me what is it. “ Nasha replied pleadingly to Star.Star smiled as he peeked at their faces trying to study how much their patient could be with suspense. “Ok, ladies. Nasha, I’ve got a good apartment for you and I guess that you will like it”. Star said.Nasha’s jaw dropped as she found it difficult to believe that what she heard was real and not a kinda fantasy. And as she was still in shock, Annabel questioned Star further about what he just said. “ So, tell me, are you sure of what you just said? “ Then Star nodded, and at that point, Nasha jumped up and screamed excitedly as she proceeded to hug Star. “Star, thank you very much. You are a great friend. Gosh!” Nasha declared.Star smiled as he became proud like a peacock. “Come on, ladies, let’s go see the apartment. “ Star said.Nasha and Annabel echo “yes” in one voice. Then they burst out into laughter.Star smilingly went before them, while the ladies walked behind him. When they got to the apartment, the view was everything that Nasha had wished for.The spaciousness of the apartment made her wonder how Star could know her kinda taste, considering that it hasn’t been long since they met.However, she appreciated him exceedingly and Annabel did join to appreciate Star as well.Nasha hastily moved her things from Annabel’s apartment to hers'. Then she decided to host Star and Annabel for being by her side. And as they were still in the apartment having chitchat, an errand company through a man, brought a bunch of roses to Nasha’s apartment. The errand man pressed the door button, and it sent a signal to Nasha that someone was at her door. Then she hastily excused herself from their midst and went to know who the caller was.When she opened the door, she found a man standing, smiling and having flowers. And before she could interrogate the man, he quickly introduced himself as he offered her the flowers with a parcel attached to them.Nasha collected it and wave him off as she returned to Annabel and Star.“Who was that?” Annabel asked.“It’s Richardson. He sent flowers through the errands company. But you can have the flowers. I don’t need them”.Nasha replied as she handed the flowers to Annabel.“Is Richardson giving you any problem?” Star queried.“No, he ain’t”. Nasha replied.Star nodded then hurriedly excused himself to go sort out something very paramount. “Please, guys. I’m sorry but I have something to sort out in my apartment. Hope you don’t mind if I’m excused. ““No, no. Not at all. You could go ahead, dear” Nasha replied with a smile.Annabel on the other hand, left shortly to her apartment, leaving Nasha all alone in the room.Then in the night, an incessant noise woke Nasha up from sleep. She staggeringly stood up from the bed and traced where the noise was coming from.And as she walked from window to window, she discovered that it was coming from the next door. Then she muttered “Why could this goddamn Vincent be a nuisance in this apartment. No, no. I won’t take this. I’ll file a suit against him tomorrow! Gosh! “Nasha returned to her bed but as the noise persisted, she found it difficult to fall asleep again.Then on the next morning, she furiously dashed off to meet with Annabel and Star and explained the incident that happened the last night. “Look guys, I’m very exhausted. I can’t believe that I’m already having a headache in that apartment. Can you imagine one moron disturbing my peace with his loud music? I’m gonna sue him, I promise! “Nasha voiced as she fumed with anger.“You have to calm down, Nasha. We will sort it out, ok.” Annabel said.“Nasha, I’m very sorry about that. But are you sure you can handle this? If you need me to fix it, I’ll”. Star said frowningly.“You don’t have to bother yourself about that, Star. I’ll fix this”. Nasha replied as she hastily wave them off, and rushed to the library to get material for her assignments.A light shows, George Powers was seen with his friend, Fredrickson at Glasgow bars and restaurants, having lunch. “George, you are too cold. You’ve got to free yourself a bit so that people could see the good side of you”. Fredrickson scolded him. George smiled and told him that he will adjust. “Come on, man. Don’t be angry ok. I’ll adjust. I’ll change sooner or later, I promise. “ As George and Fredrickson were about to leave the restaurant, Nasha walked in but George didn’t notice her. And as soon as she got there, she got set for the business of the day, which was, singing. Then after she finished singing for them, they paid her a good amount of pounds. Nasha returned to her apartment and she discovered that the hallway to the apartment was filled with litter. And out of furiousness, she headed straight to her next-door neighbor’s door and started banging at his door.Then Vincent opened his door and she yelled at him angrily. “How could you mess up the hallway as if you a
The atmosphere was calm and cloudy as if the sky is about to pour out rain in abundance. The street of Rivers Thames smells of crime and order.On the left-hand side, lies a gigantic building, and in a confined large room, were bunches of people who had been tried and found guilty. It smells of order because policemen and warders constantly move around; to ensure that peace is being maintained. Nasha alighted from the cab and started walking towards the station. she walked to the office where the inscription reads "Office B13. George Powers, Senior Investigatory Officer." She pressed the entrance switch and it opened then she entered to behold a brusque man with a frown face. He has a strict personality such that one would assume that he had been an Officer from birth. He's quite chubby and extremely handsome. His eyes are calm and sexy; covered with green Iris. Nasha became startled by his charming poise regardless of the state of his face and wondered how such a fine man
Investigator George got to the Bernards' residence, with hopes that they have any evidence concerning their late son's murder. But he was taken aback when he saw Mr. Bernard sitting beside the doorpost, boohooing like a widower. "What's the problem, Mr. Bernard?" George asked concerningly. " Hurry! please, help me. my wife is about to commit suicide. she is in... she locked herself in the room..." he cried out. Then George rushed into the house and traced the bedroom where she was, through Mr Bernard's directions. He knocked severally at the door but there was no response then he resolved to adopt the “pleading method” "Look, Mrs Bernard, I understand your plight but please, don't harm yourself. I, George Powers, assure you that I must get Justice for your son. please, ma'am, don't harm yourself. Please..." " Go away! go away! I'm tired of your phony. it's been a month since my son was murdered in a cold-blooded winter. But what did you do? you sip your coffee peacefully in y
Nasha returned to her apartment exhausted, and angry. Her head banged louder than the sound of a gong. No, it wasn’t a migraine. But it was the incessant interrogation of Officer George. She was becoming tired of everything and she regretted why she moved into that new apartment and she blamed Richardson for that. If Richardson hadn’t broken her trust, She’d still be staying with him now. She staggeringly threw herself on the couch and after a few seconds, she stood up and went straight to the wine rack to grab a small bottle of whiskey. Nasha don’t like taking too much alcohol but she needed something that would clear her burdensome thoughts then she opened the 5ml whiskey and emptied it into her mouth. And after a few seconds, she fell asleep. Then Richardson accidentally stopped by and on seeing a bottle of whiskey lying close to her, he knew that she was drunk then he decided to carry her to the bed and watch over her until she awaken. However, Richardson’s lustful mind took
It looked surreal as she woke up beside him; naked and his arms glued to her waist. She became very ashamed: such shame that could cover an adulterer when she is being caught in the act. And if only the ground could open up and swallow her, it would have been a better option than her situation at that moment. She raised her brows then sniffed the watery tears that filled her nose, preventing it from flowing to the eyes, then unwrapped his hands off her waist as she hastily got herself dressed. But as she was about to open the door of the car, she discovered that it was locked, then she smoldered the burning anger that had consumed her as she tapped George gently, and he awoke from sleep. George Powers sluggishly got up and on seeing himself in boxer shorts, he voiced “shit!!” twice as he hastily wore his pair of trousers then slouched moodily. Nasha became more shameful and furious on beholding his face, She could neither talk nor move cos the pain within, surged and pierced her
Annabel in her usual gait, enthusiastically barged into Nasha’s apartment. She didn’t knock much longer at the door before Nasha unbolted it. Then she walked straight to her bedroom and threw herself in the bed like a schoolgirl who returned from school during the summer.“Girlie, what happened to your phone? I have been calling since last night.”She asked concerningly as she got up from the bed and took a few steps to the refrigerator to get a chilled juice. While she poured the juice into two glass cups, she presented one to Nasha who grabbed it with haste as she poured it down her throat.“Ann, it’s nothing. I was just feeling sick, and I needed to be left alone”.“Oh really? When did you become a private person? And when did you start hiding your life affairs from me? “Ann flared up. But she later simmered down when Nasha began to cry. Then she moved close to her as she persuaded her to confide in her and say the problem. “My baby, we’ve known each other since fourteen, so, wh
Nasha returned home, battered and shattered. She couldn’t fathom why a person could incur all the problems in the world upon herself.And as soon as Annabel arrived at the house to inquire about the earlier incident, she was dismissed immediately as Nasha said,“I don’t want to talk about it. I beg to have my space for the moment”.Then Annabel left sadly. And she shut the door, as she soliloquized,“Why me? Why now? Why...?”. She lifted the small jar of flowers and smashed it on the wall, then threw herself on the floor like a woman whose husband was killed in the battle Field. “This has to end! This has to end now! I am exhausted by everything! Is it a crime to come from a lower class? It’s obvious that the world is against me!”She remained at that same spot and wept bitterly. One of Nasha’s parents died when she was ten and she was left in the care of her poor father; whose only means of livelihood was Shoemaking. He used the paltry sum to sponsor Nasha through Highschool. Bu
A certain group of students was seen gathered in a circular form, by the side of the Engineering department building; talking, hissing, and clapping their hands like gossip in the native market.One said, “Who knows who would be the next victim? “And another said, “ I think the school should rusticate her.”“ But what if she has ties with the management? “An oval face girl asked. “She doesn’t have such a connection, girl. She's such an indigent.” Another person snapped.They laughed sarcastically, rubbing their shoulders slightly.Then Nasha suddenly passed by their side and they became mute like dumbs as they turned their faces to another side; pretending to be waiting for their friends.Nasha walked into the class to receive lectures as usual, but she was stopped by some security personnel whom the head of the department have instructed that she shouldn’t be let in. “Get out of my way! What’s wrong with all of you?” she flared up. “We are very sorry, Ma'am! But we ha
