Annoyed with the person at the door I stepped to the door and opened it. my face was all red with anger. I was ready to give whoever standing out there a good scolding. I opened the door to see a tall dark figure smiling at me. She was wearing a black jeans, red blouse with a marching red Boots. Her air was covered with a bandana with Kenyan flag colors.
What on Earth is she doing here? She is Bezaleel's sister Dulce. Do I call her sister-in-law? But then we aren't married yet.I was wondering on this till I forgot to welcome her in. She waved on my eyes that's when I woke up from long train on thoughts. "Come in" I welcome her in and offered her the cold juice at the table.
"Salma?" she started a conversation.I looked at her giving her all my attention."Our mum is sick. Why don't we go see her on the weekend?" she asked. I wondered Bezaleel has not said anything about his mum being sick.
"Sure we can but then my exams are starting on Monday." I told her
"So what if your exams are starting on Monday? I also have exams but mum is important too. So tell me, are you accompanying me to see my sick mum tomorrow or exams are important to you?"
I was rendered speechless. what's wrong with her. I did say I would accompany her. then where's the big deal?
"I did say I'll accompany you but for a brief minutes. Why are you making it a big deal?"
I honestly don't know what to do with her.
"That's better." I remained silent
"By the way I need to borrow your shoes. Mine are dirty and I'm going for an important appointment right now. I'll come to pick them up when you've cleaned them" she said with no shame
'The nerve of this woman.
'This is too much. may be I'm too lenient on her. I'm never going to allow her walk all over me'. I thought to myself
"Why didn't you Carry your extra pair of shoes?
you knew it would rain." I asked looking straight to her.
This is crazy.
Even Bezaleel has never treated me this way. And to make matters worse I'm just dating her brother...what if I get married to him. What will she make me do? probably bath her!
For six months I've known Bezaleel. My friend introduce him to me and we've been doing well until we fall for each other and started dating. All was well until he introduced me to his family especially to this spoiled brat Dulce.
She is always on my toe always checking on my moves. Sometimes I'm tempted to think he sent her to test my patience. But I've never complained to him when she mistreated me
but this time round I'll teach her a lesson she will never forget.
"Listen Delce. As you can see I'm too busy studying for my exams to even to do my own laundry. what makes you think I'll clean up your shoes?"
She raised her eyebrows. Probably she is surprised. She never expected this from me.
"It's just one pair of shoes" She stated shamelessly
I got really angry this time.
You know what? I'm to busy to start any arguments with you. Come some other times and will entertain your presence." I told her
"Are you throwing me out your house? My brother will know about this for sure."
I didn't listen to her. I just walked to the door and opened it showing her out.
I couldn't stand her any longer. I could have said something I would regret later.
After she left I remembered my phone. I've not spoken to Bezaleel today. Checking my phone I got several missed calls from him.
I called back when someone else received my call.
