He didn't believe me. It showed perfectly on his face " I met the old lady on my way to an errand my uncle's wife told me to go. I was contemplating if to accept or not " I said in a low tone Hussein shook his head " how do u expect me to believe you?" he stated " how do u expect me to believe you're a bad person when in short you look nothing like one" he added.
I walked back to my room. My body shaking as new set of tears made their way down to my cheeks.
Who would ever believe such a story it was meaningless and sounds untrue.
Who would in their right sense agree with such mean beings and to also agree in having a full time contract with them, well here I am part of them for quiet a long time or maybe Forever.
I don't know what was in Hussein's mind but I just hope he doesn't hate me for what I've done. After telling him the story and not agreeing to it.
He stood up and left without saying a word. In other words it means it was over and he hated me. He hates my guts for killing innocent men who aren't aware of what is to come for them.
I sacrifice them to gain power, riches and to have it all. But in other words it means I'll sacrifice my happiness In order to get what I want. But was all that what I truly wanted?
Did I sacrifice the one thing that I so much wanted in exchange for a better life with my mother? I always thought my mother's love was enough for me, but now I feel like having Hussein to be part of my life would be what I truly want, what I always wanted.
But the look in his eyes when I assured him of what i did said otherwise. The look of pain, dissapointment and disgust.
Oh please God help me am so confused " I have to talk to him " I said to myself " it's the only way to find out what's in his head ".
I walked to his room that was in the lower part of the house I knocked twice there was no response so decided to walk in.
I turned the door knob and was greeted with darkness. It was empty no one was in " Hussein! Hey are you in here?"
I scout through his room into the bathroom no sign of Hussein.
I walked out surprised furrowed my brow thinking were could he have gone to.
I decided to walk back to my room and get my phone when the landline rang.
I became alarm quiet following the sound when I spotted it on the wall in the kitchen. It rang over and over non stop.
I walked carefully towards it trying to answer when it stopped.
I sighed in relief turning my heels to get to my room when the landline began to ring again.
I frigid and turned majestically to it walking calming myself down before taking it placing it on my ears.." hello!?.." I said in a shaky tone.
I heard buzzy sound at first then later it made a hushing sound.
I hanged up hugging myself biting my lower lip. I was about making a first step towards the door when it rang again.
I got frightened my heart began to pace rapidly. This isn't normal I said to myself.
I took the hotline and placed it on my left ears " she's gone " I heard a strange and peculiar voice said laughing mockingly and evil.
" hello, what do you mean she's gone? Who are you?"
I instantly drop the hotline in the floor with wide terrifying eyes " oh no! Mom!" I whispered.
I hurriedly went to my room got dressed. But there was no car keys. I went back to Hussein's room and saw the car keys on the self.
He's still here? I took the keys and ran out of the house heading to his car.
I opened the gates and went back into the car igniting it before stepping on the gas driving out insanely.
Tears began to form as they roll down my cheeks, wiping with the back of my hands " am coming mommy "
I sniffed " Am coming " I whispered with a heavy heart.
Finally I got home not minding where I stopped the car. Walking into the house confused and wild.
My eyes were red and tender. I sniffed " mom! " I yelled out.
" mom! Were are you?" new set of tears began to form " please mom!" I walked to her room it was empty the bed was well laid.
I searched for the bathroom.
I searched everywhere but there was no sign of mom.
I walked out gripping my head blubbering " oh God Mom" I wailed " why do you have to take her " I wiped my nose with the back of my hand
" why! She is innocent. Take me instead, replace me with her. It's me you want please let her live " I bawled.
I went on my knees sobbing silently with my hands up on my face.
I was exhausted and frail. I had no idea on what to do. my knees where on the floor for an hour and a half.
I have to do something, I have to get my mother back. I can't lose her yet. I said mentally.
I walked back to my room and found my charms well placed the way I left them earlier.
I stood in front of the mirror and called upon the oracle.
few seconds pass an image of a beautiful lady was on view " you call for us Hameeda, what do you want?"
she asked with a sweet but bitter tone " I-I want my mother back" I sighed she chuckled
" you can't cause you have failed to do your duty "
I shook my head " you cant do this to me, I have being good, faithful and loyal to you, I have served you unconditionally, you cannot have my mother " I exclaimed.
The oracle chuckled evilly " you're mother has already being sacrificed " I whimpered as I stood Strong trying not to break down
" P-ple- please, you can undo this, I don't want her dead I promise this time I'll do anything you wish of me, but please just bring back my mother " i sobbed.
" fine we would let your mother live only if you'd agree with our terms " I felt relief and happy that they're yet to kill her " Yes Yes, I I'll do anything for you, anything "
The oracle gave an evil chuckle before finally saying " your mother would live, she'll be fine and healthy only when you agree with our terms and condition " she stated.
