Tariah's POV
You all may not have known this ,but I have lost contact with my best friend Relly , we haven't spoken in days since the day I came here , that bastard made me change my number and I have lost all contact of every single person I once knew, the only number I have is for that stupid *sshole.
Nevertheless, I don't understand when or how she got my number but she called me yesterday and I was so happy hearing her voice and laughter after such a long time, she even offered me to come live with her and she is the same person that got me the job that I was looking for.
So hear I am packing all my little cloths that I own into my old Addidas bag , there was not much to pack so around 11 was already done ,I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to Scarlett , she seem like a nice person , so I just feel like I should tell her before I go ,it's the least I can do for her kindness.
she is such a nice person compared to that monster , if it was him that I bumped into the other day,I would never have heard the end of it, Tariah this, Tariah that, neeh man.I want to have some piece of mind.
I don't know if I should knock or I should just budge in , this is my work place after all.
...point of correction 'was your work place' not is , you have found a new job ,remember.
...whatever
(shut up inner voice)
Finally deciding on what to do,I knocked on the door , but no answer,I decided to knock on the door even louder a couple of times but nothing again.
So I was just there standing in front of the door, no answer , and then I saw the bell and then that's what got me,I'm suppose to use the bell not knock, so this whole time I was just makingg a fool out of myself,it's a good thing that I was the only one here no one saw me or else it could have been such a great humiliation.
Deciding to ring the bell ,not even 10 seconds passed I could hear someone working to the entrance.When the door open,I didn't expect to see him ,I thought that he have gone to work, what is he still doing here.
" I didn't expect you to change your mind that quickly, or you realised that they will never be able to satisfy your deficiency , because that will be the only reason for you to leave a misery life to go back to luxury living."he said thinking that she has maybe changed her mind about leaving.
Tariah ignored what Edward said and made her way inside the house.
very sturbbon
"I didn't say you should come in ,I told you,you would not be welcomed here if you left but you didn't listen to me , so get out of my building" Edward proclaimed.
"Dont disrespect me in my own house , why aren't you saying anything,I'm talking to you" he said furiously touching Tariah on her shoulder to turn her around to face him.
" Mam' Scarlett" she called out
"hello Ms Bamarceda can you please come out I want to talk to you" said Tariah ignoring Edward
"give me some minutes I'm coming" Scarlett shouted from upstairs
"ok mam " Tariah said waiting patiently
"so you just came in my houses,shout at the top of your lungs calling my own sister in my house and when I'm talking to you ,you have the guts to ignore me as if I Dont exit anymore who do you think you are " Edward.
"It's good that you are here mam" Tariah said when he saw scarlet coming upstairs "I just want to say goodbye before I go, because I mean it will not be nice of me to leave just like that ,I know we Dont really know each other that much but my instinct tells me that you are a good person , so I just Dont wanna leave you hanging , so I decided to say final goodbye" Tariah
"It's okay,I'm just glad you came to tell me instead of leaving like that, do you want me to escort you, where you are taking off,I won't seriously mind." Scarlett
"No mam ,I Dont won't to bother you, and I'm sure you have more important things to do than that, so I will take my leave." I said passing by Edward with a few glance of disgues.
"I'm sure we will meet again ,so till next time and please call me scarlet we are almost the same age,"Mam" makes me feel like I'm old , so it's Scarlett for you , okay" Scarlett.
"Okay mem ,I mean Scarlett, till next time "I uttered
I finally left his house for good.Im on my way to my best friend's apartment I just can't wait to see her ,I'm overly enthusiastic to see her.
Hello taxi, ongwediva ,$10
And yes,That's how we do it Namibia.
I finally got into the taxi , went to my friends apartment . She has texted me her addresss when I was in a taxi, I pile in all my belongings , take a quick shower ,put some perfume on , wore my Re-jet black jean paired it with a white long sleeve shirt , black pums and apply some lip gross on, went out of the house to catch a cab to oshana mall.
few moments later
..That foolish rich man did not even pay me for my almost full week service
..so you wanted to get paid after the mess you caused
..I didn't cause any predicament , he has been the one nagging all along , that man can't even be normal for once he just doesn't want to grow up, he likes getting on my nerve, wherever he saw me he just want to start an argument.
..So why didn't you ignore him, it means you also like arguing with him.
....You wish
..Are you sure you went to say final goodbye to her sister or you just craved to see his handsome face before you took off.
....Oh please if that's what you call handsome , then your definition of handsome is jalopy.
(Ok just shut up the both of you,you make me insane, stupid inner voice)
I went straight to the shop that Relly said she is working in , I went into the shop ,I started looking around for anything eye catching before the manager calls me, the store looks really neat and unique.
Nonetheless where is she , she called me here but she's nowhere to be seen or she doesn't work on this section of the shop maybe she is assigned somewhere ,let me ask around.
I walked successive to the women whose back faced me ,she was busy packing shoes on the shoe section ,I decided to tap her on the shoulder
" Excuse me "I said tapping the women's shoulder
" Yes how I can help you"she said looking at the box of shoes she is holding without sparing a glance at me.
"Is that how you great your best friend" I said when I recognised who it was.
"Bitch , you came " she said happily when she eventually recognised me but first she kept running her eyes up and down making sure it's me.
"Yeah I came , stop calling me that we are in public why can't you just get it into your skull big head." I said mocking
"Dont call me big head" she said rolling her eyes
"But you just called me bitch " I protested
"Cause that what you are , bitch you left me hanging ,I didn't see you after the hospital incident, that asshole kept you to himself he didn't even want me to see you , even for one fucking minute" she confessed
"Ok , no swearing anymore , God! Do you want to loose your job ,I will tell you once we get home for now focus on your work." I said calming her down , or else she could loose her job because of me and I Dont want that to happen.
"Ok , come here I miss you " she said engulfing me in a tight hug
"I miss you too" I said turning into an emotional wreck ,I could never grow up from this kind of scenes can I?
"No more hugs ,I'm going back to my work , for you , just wait for the manager to call you" Relly said getting back to what I found her doing .
Seconds turned into minutes , minutes turned into hours but no one came yet,I just Dont understand what is taking so long for him or whatever the manager Is, just to come talk to me so I resume my work than he /she can go back to what is keeping her/him busy, is that so much to ask.
Is this how they treat their employees and if they Dont want me anymore they can just say it instead of keeping me waiting and wasting my time.
"Ms Anderson can you please come with me , the manager is asking for you" said some men disappearing in some rooms motioning for me to follow.
So I followed behind him, damn man is walking too fast.
"come in Ms Anderson "said a deep voice from inside the room I was standing in front off.
" Good morning " he greeted me
" yes , good morning to you too sir "I greeted back
"Good ,I'm sure you are the one we conducted an interview with online yesterday and we already called you that you have gotten the job.I must say you are more than qualified for this job " he said with a straight expression.
"yes I am sir " I said smiling ,I'm really happy guys so Dont mind me
" so what made you waste your qualification for a job like this ,I'm sure you can still get a job out there that suite your qualification , why do you wanna waste your time on this kind of job" he said
" The market is very tight and it's not as easy as it seems to get a job ,I have been looking for that particular job but I haven't gotten one yet , and I just Dont want to be sitting in the house doing nothing "I said
"But , in your cv you said you were working as maid , why did you change. from that job to this " he asked
" well sir I'm not gonna lie to you as I really want this job , so I will tell you the truth .For starters I never wanted to work there but I was held against my will , so I had no choice in the matter there,it was a complicated situation, so when I finally got fed up with everything ,I decided to look for another job "I said
" well ms Anderson , we are sorry but the vacancy was closed by the owner, he said he doesn't want anymore employees , we were only informed today, if he said it yesterday I could never have bothered you Miss"he said ,he doesn't even feel sorry , his face says it all
"So you mean to tell me,you were just asking for no reason ,you made me wait for hours just to tell me this bullshit, if you were told today , then why didn't you call me and inform me before i came here ,you knew everythingg but you...you .. ,you have the guts to call me here to just mock me , are you done , if you are done making fun of me I would like to take my leave"I said stuttering because of the anger I feel right now ,I just want to reap this mans face into pieces.
" I want to speak to your boss,Dont make me repeat myself , or you will see my crazy side that I know you won't be able to handle , now call him /her before I loose my mind"I said
"look you don't scare me little girl, get out before I call the police on you"he said pointing a finger at me trying to look terrorizing.
I grabbed his finger , then twisted it , almost breaking some bone , he winced a little ,I took the opportunity of putting his one hand behind his back then twist it a little bit , then grabbed his head and pin it to the table ,
"Now are you going to call your boss or not" I said making it hard for him to haul.
Dont underestimate the power of a women
"I will.. I will," he said quickly taking the telephone with his other hand dialling some number which maybe is his boss's.
The phone was picked at the fourth ring
"Why, are you calling now , did you do what I told you" said a familiar voice
"sir she's extremely dangerous, she wants to talk to you" said the manager wincing a little.
"what did she do , en why do you sound like that "said the so called boss
