" is she okay?" asked Yusuf one of the guys.
I suddenly jolted out from my state and was back to normal, everyone looked petrified on what just happened
" am alright! Am okay! " I replied, " but you were in pain few minutes ago" Hussein said with a worried expression ,I smiled and sniffed cleaning my sweat with a tissue Anna gave me.
I assured them I was okay before excusing myself, walking to my car, I wore a black with white stripe jumpsuit and a black veil on my head. I was heading there when I bumped into him, he turned to me and apologized before heading into the department.
I sighed as I sat comfortably in my seat, with the Ac on, after few minutes, I began to hear whispers of strange voices, it started in a low tone then to a high pitched tone ' He's the one!' it began ' we want him' it whispered ' we want his blood and flesh' the voice kept on repeating those words over and over again. I shut my eyes as I received the message.
A loud knock came from my window as I jerked out of the state I was in, my car was all tinted and no one could see a thing standing outside. " Hamee! U in there!?" Hussein asked as he hit on the window again, I wind it down as Hussein was now on view " are u okay dear?" he asked staring at me looking concerned, I sighed heavily turning giving him a sad smile " am fine Hussein! Never being better" I gave him a weak smile.
Hussein looked at me suspiciously " you're not telling me something " he added, I was about to say something, when he opened the door for me, I walked out leaning my back on it " what's wrong Hamee?" Hussein asked again, Gosh was I really starting to get pissed off with his questions " I said am fine Hussein please!" he was mute, observing me closely " you've being acting weird lately, I figured " I rubbed my Temple trying not to get irritated ' kill him If he angers you' the voice in my head said
"We should go back to the others, we've being out too long" I ignored him and the voice in my head too, we both headed back to the clique as deep within me, I know what I have to do, to keep myself alive and the ones I love.
After the day was over, I drove straight home, got there early so I figured mom should be in her room awake, went in and found her praying. I smiled and went on laying on her bed starring at the innocent woman I call Mother.
Oh we've being through a lot in the past, I could still remember how I lost my womanhood to my God forsaking uncle pfft I hated his guts and I never regretted what I did to him and his friends.
I grinned widely with just the thought of it. " u seemed to be early today my dear" mother said as she took off her Himar, I turned smiling at her " I haven't seen you for a while now mom so I figured I'll come home early and spend little time with u" I replied as I sat straight " what have you being up to Hameeda?" mother asked.
I rubbed my temple and face sighing hard " school stuff, busy with study and tests" mother eyed me suspiciously . " hmmm, so there are things now you hide from me ehh Hameeda?" mother smiled shaking her head " you've being hiding things from me ever since we left Uncle Bala's residents and hearing that terrible news that he passed on, may his soul rest in peace such a peaceful man" I immediately scoffed rolling my eyes when I heard mom said the last statement.
" I've being meaning to ask you Hameeda about how you got such a huge amount of money in such a short time I just didn't wanted to ask at first though am your mother I should have ask right from the very first day we stepped into this house, so tell me"
I sighed hard with mom's words I felt bad and so upset with the question she asked, why does she want to know, why now? " mom what's with the questions? " I asked uninterested facing to the side " I need to know Hameeda, how are u getting all these money that u spend everyday And this huge house? " mother gasped putting both hands on her lips " I hope what am thinking isn't what you're doing " mother glared at me with a hand on her hip.
I stood up abruptly stretching myself while mother was staring at me waiting for answers " I don't know what you're trying to say mom, but whatever you're thinking isn't what am doing and I'll tell you everything soon I promise, but now isn't the right time " I replied " but Hameeda I...." I placed my hands on mother's shoulder before pecking her on the cheek
" just know that your daughter have being a very good person and those upbringing u did on me won't go to waste cause I will never let you down, I love you mom more than anything in the world. You're my idol and I Cherish you all I need from you is to pray for me" mother smiled dragging me closer to her warm touching, loving hug " I love you too my dear" she whispered and pecked me back.
I bid mom a good day before heading to my room. I shut the door behind me leaning shutting my eyes hard letting a lone tear fall on my cheek " am so sorry mom" I sniffed " am so sorry " I whispered to myself. I went to the bathroom and washed myself got out and pray before laying on my bed thinking of a possible way to get the business done.
I remember, all to well how it began and what lead to the current situation I am now.
