Kimorah
Finally the man Mr and Mrs Gary Arman rescued is awake but the only thing is that he seems to have lost his memory. He seem like a strange man and i feel like he's a man of destiny.
A month ago when i came in my regular visit to help Maggie with some house chores, her husband and some men brought in an unconscious stranger who seems so handsome.
We started taking care of him everyday from bathing him to feeding him liquid food.
We all thought he was not going to wake up but gladly he did yesterday and i decided to take food to him.
On opening the door, the man glanced at me with a stunned expression. He then asked me my name and he even asked me to sit beside him. I felt flushed and giddy. He said his name was Jediah. I couldn't stop thinking about the way he looked at me like he was worshipping a goddess with his eyes.
I told him i would see him the next day and i watched him beamed with smiles.
On getting home i heard my step sisters bickering about something worthless as usual.
"Hey! where have you been all day?" my younger step sister Annabelle asked glaring daggers at me.
"Why would you even care about my whereabouts?" I muttered to myself asking no one in Particular.
"Did you just murmur?" my other sister Christina said scoffing at me.
Ignoring them, i began taking unhurried steps to my room untill i hear my step mother call.
"Kimorah!". She called or would i say she screamed my name like i stole from her.
"Coming mother". I answer wondering what my offense was this time around.
I hurriedly ran upstairs to her room in order not to get punished for coming late.
"Mother you called". I said panting and almost running out of breath because of all the running.
"Where have you been all day?' sipping from her cup of tea and at the same time looking at some jewelries.
"I..errm..was...emm went to help Mrs Armani". I finally said after thinking of what to say and decided not to lie.
"hmm..really?" she scoffed and began sipping from her tea cup.
"Yes mother". I replied feeling dejected because i was sure going to get punished.
"You know what to do right?" she asked with her brows raised.
"Yes ma'am". Thinking of the heap of plates and clothes waiting for me to wash.
"You may leave". She said dropping her tea cup.
I then walked out and headed downstairs to the kitchen where my first task is waiting for me.
I began washing the dishes when i heard my sister's scoffed behind me.
"hmmp...careful not to break a plate". Annabelle said twirling her hair while Christina just laughed and snickered.
Well I've gotten used to the life I'm living now. Back then when my mama was alive, she would treat me like a princess and bake me some cookies and we would also go to the park and also go shopping with my dad. But then tragedy struck and my mom feel ill and the illness could not be treated and she later passed on. My dad decided to marry my mom's best friend who treated me nicely untill she started having kids.
she would starve me and sometimes she would punish for no reason. But i knew i had no choice than to do whatever she tells me because if i report to my papa all her bad deeds then my papa wouldn't believe a thing i say.
My step mother literally turned me to a house maid. She would make me wash Annabelle's and Christina's clothes and sometimes i would wait for them to eat before i can eat my food. How cruel?
Well I'm used to it already and I've also learnt alot from all these chores and cooking.
I was snapped back to reality by Christina who slapped me hard on my cheeks.
"what are you thinking you slave?" Christina said getting ready to slap me for a second time.
"no... nothing". I said almost tearing up.
"hahaha...cry baby". Christina said said laughing and pointing at me.
I decided to avoid them and continue with my chores and began hoping that one day all this would be over.
