* How bad life becomes when you come at peace with pain *
~•~
Adria woke up due to the noise around her, she opened her eyes halfway as she was still a bit tired, she saw a man seat on the once empty she closed her eyes again and slept off.
She woke up 3hours later and headed to the restroom, when she was done she washed her hands and poured water on her face to get rid of the dizziness, she stepped out looking around, she realized the most people on the plane were asian people who had come to Nigeria for business, they were only few Africans in the plane. She went back to her seat and watched the man they put by her side he was really a talker and I annoyed her.
"Hi." The man said smiling widely
Adria ignored and sat down resting her head back and closing her eyes, the man looked at her for a while and continued reading his book.
Few minutes later
The flight attendant share food to everyone and she got to Adria seat, she asked. "What are you both having."
"Anything is fine by me."the man answered.
"What about you ma'am." She asked Adria.
The man looked over to Adria, who didn't even move she remained the way she was. The flight attendant and the man stared at each and he smiled and said "get her anything too."
As she was about to leave Adria said "get him out of here."
They both looked at her again and then the flight attendant asked her again "sorry ma'am what did you say."
"Get me water." Adria said.
"Oh ok ok." Air hostess said as she left immediately.
The man stared at Adria and asked "do you really want me to leave?"
"Mm" Adria hummed, her eyes still closed.
"Why?" He asked
Adria opened one of her eyes "cause I love being alone."
"But only one chair is allocated to you, the person who owns this one couldn't make it and I'm scared of flight so they put me here." He answered.
Adria looked at him and scoffed.
The man shook his head "you don't have to be rude you know" Adria remained silent.
"Uhh people could be mean for nothing." The man said feeling a bit irritated by her silent treatment.
"At least fix your pride or something." He said.
Adria smirked "that shit is broken. " she said as she closed her eyes.
The man stared at her for a while and then turned back to the magazine he was going through, he flipped through the magazine and saw a picture of the youngest billionaire in Nigeria, he looked at the book and then the lady next to him he did that for a while.
"Stop that shi, I'm getting tired of you." Adria said while her eyes were still closed.
"Take a looks at this." he showed Adria the magazine, she glanced at it and scoffed "assholes how did they get this picture, must be nightmares doing." She said
"Your a Nigerian celebrity." the man grinned.
Adria stared at the excited man "I'm not."
"Don't lie dear, it's actually a great achievement." he said Adria ignored him.
"Come on it's good." He said when she didn't reply.
"Say something."he persuaded.
"Ugh this is why I hate sitting with anyone." Adria was tired of this talker she couldn't even think straight anymore.
"What do you mean?." He really wanted to talk to this cold woman.
"You guys don't just get it, do you?." Adria found her self getting pissed.
The flight attendant brought the food and while handing over the water to Adria, it mistakenly fell due to the man sitting next to her.
Adria stared at him for a while "That's it, get him out of her."
"Ma'am but-." The air hostess tried to argue but Adria had enough and interrupted her.
"I didn't book two seat to have a stranger sit on it."-Adria
The attendant and man stared at her, they changed his seat immediately, he felt really uncomfortable where they placed him but tried comporting himself.
Adria sigh in satisfaction quietness at last she thought.
The plane shaked a little and Adria. remembered the guys had told her he had a phobia for planes, she immediately looked over to him she saw him shaking violently and the people sitting next to him shifted from him. She went to him immediately and held his hand.
"It's ok nothing is happening your fine." She assured him.
"I....I....I." He found it hard to speak as fear consumed him.
"Look at me, look at me your ok."The man stared at her and felt calm, when she saw he was ok she stood up and walked back to her seat the man followed her and sat next to her she didn't oppose either.
"I'm sorry I spilled water on you." The man said sadly.
"Don't bother I knew it wasn't your fault, I just hate noise and you tend to make a lot of noise." Adria said as she closed her eyes and tapped her hands gently.
"Actually I did it on purpose." He said as he looked down in regrets.
Adria opened her eyes and looked at him " What!."
"I'm sorry." The man said
"Not bad tho, but the noise is actually." Adria smiles at him.
"I'm sorry about the noise too, that's how I ease up my fear." He said.
"It's fine do whatever you want to." She replied.
"You do have a heart, when you sent me out I felt really bad tho." The man said.
"Even when you did it on purpose?." She asked amused.
"Yes." He replied sheepishly.
"Sorry." she said simply.
"Why are you so cold?." He asked
She looked at him "I'm not cold." she said as she pressed her hands against her neck.
The man chuckled "no not that forget about it."
Adria smirked as she looked at the clueless man.
"Is it your first time in Japan." The man asked.
"Yh." She replied simply.
"Wow that's nice, welcome to my homeland then."
"Hm" she said
"This was my first time in Nigeria too tho." He said
"Ok." Adria was tired of this endless conversation.
"I'm so tired, when are we getting out of here?." He asked
"Umm approximately it takes 26 hours and 25minutes to get to Japan, Tokyo new international airport from Nigeria and it's been 19hours so we got 7 hours and 25 minutes to get there." Adria said.
"Oh wow your smart."he said
Adria glanced at the man tired of his talks "go to bed you looked stressed out."
"Oh ok." he said as he slept.
Adria picked up her phone and stared at it for a while, she closed her eyes as she put on her music and slept off.
Later she heard an announcement that they are almost there, she looked at the man sitting next to her, he was still at sleep she held his hand as the plane was about to land, when it did she left and told the air attendant to wake him up.
When she got out the plane she called Berlina immediately
"Hey." Adria said
"Little pumpkin you there." Berlina asked.
"Yeah. It's 8am here, what time is it there?." Adria asked
"12am. There's a car waiting to take you to your apartment, it's a black suv and the driver name is Haru." Berlina said.
"Alright." Adria replied.
Adria walked out the airport and saw the driver, she got into the car.
"Good day ma and welcome to Tokyo." Haru said.
"Thanks." she replied simply
Soon enough they got to an apartment, it was like a hotel the apartments were numbered but it was very big.
The driver handed her the key of the car. "This is yours, Berlina said I should give it to you." She and the driver moved her things in and later on the driver left.
Adria took here time and stared at the big apartment it must have cost a lot she thought. She went to the kitchen and saw how big it was, she felt hungry.
"Shit! what am I going to have." she thought for while and then checked her fridge she found bread, cakes, yakitori and many other meals. She took out the bread and spread some butter on them and then a chilled drink, she ate it all as she was very hungry.
Soon after she called her mom, they spoke for a while and in the middle of the call her doorbell rang.
"Alright mom we will talk later there's someone at my door might be the driver." She said.
"Alright my dear, please be careful and note we aren't there so you have to depend on yourself and resources alone ok." Madria warned.
"Alright mom." Adria replied
"Bye." Madria said
"Ok mom." Adria said as she ended the call.
Knock! knock!!
Adria opened the door and stepped out just to find a little asian kid, she looked around and found nobody standing by the corner, she got scared what if this was an evil spirit in the movies she shook off the thought and bent down.
"Hey little baby how are you." Adria said.
The baby said something but she couldn't understand.
"What did you say?." she asked as she couldn't understand, the child said something again then she realized he was speaking Japanese.
"Ugh!! what do I do now, how will I be able to take you home." she thought for a while before bringing him into her house.
She didn't like children so she just gave him some food and put on a cartoon for the child while going through her phone.
The child watched and ate happily and later he stood up and walked towards her.
"Shu! shu! stay back, don't come close." she knew the baby couldn't understand her, so she used her hands to demonstrate too.
The baby came close to her and climbed her body resting his head on her chest and folding himself in a ball she had no choice but to carry him and pat him later on they both slept off.
Adria found herself in a strange garden with beautiful flowers and she was on a dress, a white dress. There were people and chairs everywhere, she could hear everyone one cheering and dancing it was a wedding she thought, it was her wedding and she was also with a baby in her hand everything was going great until it began to rain and there were loud thunderstorms felt like the world was about to end.
Adria dream was cut short as a loud knock echoed in her house, she fluttered her eyes open as she carried the baby on her arm and went to answer who ever it was. She opened her door and saw a younglady standing there with a worried expression.
"Hello." she said as she saw who she was looking for "ahhhh he's here, thank goodness."
"Hi." Adria's replied calmly feeling grateful that this one could speak English at least.
"The baby." she pointed "is mine."
Adria gave her the child and shut her door not waiting for appreciation, she had to start work the next day so she needed rest, she turned off the cartoon and headed to hers bedroom. She laid there and she smiled smiled softly as she recalled her first work experience for someone else.

"Ugh! why do we have to do all this." Adria said.
"Well your business manager said it was necessary if you want to enhance your own company you have to have experiences from other companies." Ryan replied.
"Hmm i know, but I'm bored." Adria sat down as she looked at Ryan.
Ryan grinned "let's make it fun then." he said as his eyes moved around her, registering every curve and line on her body.
"How do we do that, there's nothing fun about this huge documents ." Adria who was oblivious of the desire in his eyes asked.
"Adria, come here." he called out to her in a hoarse voice.
Adria look at him and saw the look in his eyes. She scoffed "Really Ryan, really what if we get caught huh. This isn't my office that you can fool around ok."
Ryan stood up and walked towards her one step after the other, when he got to her he whispered. " F*ck what anyone and everyone thinks, your the only one that matter."
Adria hesitated. She shoved him off and tried to leave, but he held her hands above her head.
"Ryan." Adria whispered "Ryan stop someone might see." She said worriedly.
Ryan smiled. He brushed his lips against hers while holding up her hands tightly to avoid rejection, when she didn't refuse the approach he deepened the kiss.
Adria was lost in desire, she bit his lips and earned a faint groan. He left her lips and trailed kisses on her neckline down to her collarbone, he pushed her against the wall and held her up as he explored her. After some minutes he freed her hand and grinned sheepishly as he went back to his position.
Adria was panting heavily as she stared at him with anger written all over, when she caught her breath, she asked. "Why did you stop?."
"I thought you were scared of someone coming in." He grinned.
"I'm surely gonna pay you back! She spat.
"Just say the word and I'll be right there."he winked.
Adria felt frustrated as she was already consumed by desire, she felt like crying. She went back to her seat and began to arrange the files. She stared at Ryan and he smiled sweetly, her eyes trailed to his neck and then his collarbone and then his shirt which was opened slightly during their petty play, she studied him for a patiently.
Ryan smirked "Stop staring look you are drooling already."
"Oh am I? where huh come and show me." she scoffed "liar."
Ryan bust into laughter as he knew she was pissed with him and she looked cute.
He walked towards her and gently placed her on her office table while sitting on her chair, he glanced through few documents. he said. "why don't you look for someone to do all this for you while we head home huh."
"Who's home yours?." She joked.
Ryan stood up and looked down at her face lovingly, he hovered over her face and then captured her lips again.
Adria rapped her arms around his neck caught in the moment, they made crazy moments right there. Ryan trailed his hands beneath her shirt and just as he was about to get to her chest, Adria suddenly said "Stop!."
Ryan looked at her for a while "Are you hurt." He careful look at her body, he studied her body for a while and when she wasn't hurt he thought for a while before asking "Are you trying to get me back for what I did?."
"Shhh." she said as she tried to listen to her environment "Someone is coming."
They immediately went back to their previous position as they arrange their cloth. few seconds later the door swung open and revealed Berlina.
Berlina looked at the two people in the office and noticed something was off. Ryan was sitting down calm and void of any expression and so was Adria, she was so focused on the documents but what gave them away was they were both panting slightly and Adria's suit was not on her it was on the table and their shirt were slightly disheveled. Berlina smirked.
"Little pumpkin I'm here for the documents you mind giving it to me." she asked Adria.
"Umm yeah I just need to correct something on the last page." She gave Berlina a quick glance and turned back to the document.
"Alright, bring it to my office when your done." She turned around to leave and looked at Ryan in a threatening manner, she walked out.
Adria haves a sigh as she relaxed but immediately Berlina opened the door and said "And yh! you better look at the mirror after a section, your lipstick is everywhere on your face." Berlina smiled.
Adria eyes widened. "what really?."
"No." Berlina said as she chuckled softly.
Adria's cheeks turned slightly red, seeing this Berlina shaked her head slightly as a smiled. "Your bad at hiding things." she stated as she walked out saying "Don't mix pleasure with business young lag or you'll regret it and secondly be careful." She said as she walked out, she stared at Ryan sternly.
Adria and Ryan stared at each other and busted into laughter.
This was the first time Berlina saw them together, she wasn't even aware of this entanglement but she had suspected it tho, she was happy her little sister was living her best life, after breaking lot of hearts she scoffed.
THE PRESENT
Adria smiled as she walked into her room and laid in the bed awaiting the morning.
