His looks was beginning to frighten me,he was not ready to look away and I totally was distracted.He signalled me to come over I had to ask if it was really me he was calling.He shook his head in affirmation.I walked towards him slowly and my steps betrayed me as usual.I got to him and I couldn't look at his face...
Helena:What ca....can we offer you sir..."(My speech began to break and I had to find my balance so that I would not fall in front of a man I did not know).
Man:"Well what is your name,"He..le..na"was what I could here myself saying.He smiled and asked me to get two shot of London beer,one of the best drinks we had in our bar.He had people around him and they all had guns with them,"He would be of great influence for this kind of men to escort him"I thought to myself."Well would you get going now or can we join you in this fantasy of yours"one of the men with him said and they all laughed.I walked as fast as my legs could carry me and ensured I avoided contact with any of those men.I gave him what he requested and went away with great relief.
I was trying to get my mind back together when one of the bartenders came to me to inform me that my presence was needed by the bar manager"I hope I have not done anything wrong"I thought to myself as I went to his office.I got there and knocked softly,he ushered me in and with a big smile....."For today,you would serve Mr.Hanzel till he leaves this bar".Like he knew what I was thinking of,he directed a bar attender to take me to him and there Mr.Hanzel was(the stranger I served some minutes ago),It was like the ground should open immediately and cover me up.He saw me and with the cigar in his mouth he tried to smile.
"So now I am somebody's slave for a day and I can't walk away from this situation or I would forfeit my Job,this is the worst day of my Job and I am not ready for what is to come".I frowned back rather than smiling.To me it was as if he was just trying to fustrate me because he countined to call me for various kinds of orders and I would waste no time on walking out if I had the opportunity to.
"Get me a new pack of cigar,we have used up this one"He ordered.Look at the way he talks I said to myself.I got the pack of cigar and got back to him,"You are so good at errands he said,you would make a good housewife"He said.His statement got me off my balance and I almost threw up"Emmm....mmmmm,I did not get you well sirrrrr"I said,They all laughed at me like I was a comedian.My working time usually ends by six so I would be able to get home on time but I would have to work overtime today because of this proud individual.I was able to end everything by some minutes after eight and they got ready to leave after a lot of girls had messed up themselves on these guys except from Mr.Hanzel who kept on looking at me.My boss was paid before he left so I had no problem collecting money from them again,I cleaned the bar and walked out of the bar together with them to start my journey home.
I walked some miles away from the bar and got to the bus stop in order to board a bus back to my own town.I waited for so long but no bus was going towards my town,those that were going there called a high some of money because it was late already.I caused Mr.Henzel under my breath"Only if he was in my position,I would make him sleep in the bar",I was thinking of what to do when two cars of high quality came towards me and stopped, only rich men had opportunity to ride these kind of cars here.The windows came down slowly and Mr.Hanzel asked me to hop in,"No wonder he was so bossy,so much for a man with cars"I began to curse him again.
"I would simply drive away from here and you would be left with no option but to walk home and I am sure robbers would have no use for someone like you"He said while glaring at me from head to toe with another cigar in his mouth.I was not ready to walk home alone and I needed to get home fast,it was like I had no other option but to go along with him.I agreed to follow since they were heading towards my town,he door opened the door from inside and I sat close to him.He instructed the man driving to go ahead,but we didn't say anything to each other for close to fifteen minutes before he broke the silence."People like you are supposed to be in high school,what are you doing in a bar with an oversized uniform"he said smiling, "I lost my pa...rent when I was young a.....nd my gran...grandma that took care of us also died later so I am trying to make a living so we can survive"I struggled to say."And who are you referring to"he asked emphasising "WE".
I told him I had a junior brother,he asked me more questions and I had a hard time providing answers.We got to my bus stop minutes later, I tried to open the door which he had to assist me with then before he went off,he threw some bundles of money on me.My eyes almost fell off the socket seeing the bundles of money he gave to me,I could not believe my eyes.He laughed hard and drove off as I continued to thank him even after he had gone.I picked the bundles of money and attempted to count it but for safety reasons,I put it all in my bag and ran home to do so with my brother.A smile that had not been on my face for quite a long time found its way back to my face that moment-------.
