I was completely shocked!
I rushed to my father's side and kneeled at his feet.
"Abeoji... What's going on?? What are these people doing here?"
"You don't know them right Father!" I added with my trembling hands on his kneel with my teary eyes. He glared at me coldly before bursting into laughter.
"Father what's going on? Talk to
me father! what are they doing here?"
Am shivering in fear already because I know the kind of father that I have!
I pray he will not do what am thinking he would do.
"Oh my little sweet Joy! Now you have grown to a beautiful flower! I knew you would bring me good fortune and great prosperities one day! See what you've got me! See what you have made! Buddha is the greatest!!" My father said happily with big smile on his face. Pointing to the briefcase on the table.
"I still don't get it father!!! I don't get you! What do you mean?!" I questioned with shaking voice
and teary eyes.
"Your father sold you to my boss. See!" The so called P.A said before raising a folder filled with documents. He picked out one and stretched it to me.
It's a contract. I grabbed it from him to read the content.
It's contract of enslavement!
My father sold me out as a slave!!
Me! A slave!!
And my father's signature is there! He signed it already without my consent.
Nooo!!
"Abeoji!! What have you done!! You sold me out! Without my consent!! You sold your daughter out as a slave!"
"Yes! We don't need your approval. Only your guid...."
"You shut your crap up!!" I screamed at the annoying P.A before turning back to my father.
"Father what's happening?? This is all jokes and prank right Father? You are joking with me father...."
"Joyce!! How can I say no to this blessing! You're nothing but a burden in my life. You can't expect me to let you continue staying in my house and I will feed you with my food everyday. Remember you took away my wife! Your mother! You killed her with your bad luck! You're nothing but misfortune in my life and today Buddha is willing to bless and you expect me to say No! You're wrong Joy! Am really happy that you're out of my life completely" He said heartlessly.
" Abeoji!!!!" I screamed
"No!! you're not doing this to me!! Fath..."
"Take her away and make sure she doesn't escape from your boundary!" Father said before jerking my hands off his kneel. I stared at my father in shock.
I am really lost!
"Father!!!" I mumbled in bewilderment.
"Take her now!! I don't want to see her again!"
Father stood up and grabbed the briefcase.
"It's a great pleasure doing business with you!"
"Same here sir"
They both exchanged handshakes.
