S01E05 Cyclone Homecoming
"Its all bed of roses when people of the same mind are fixed in one group, all hell can though break loose when someone gets in between them and division occurs"- Hashili Hafeni
@Ongwediva Police Station
"Wait what?" Asked Marry so shocked looking at Cecilia. "Miss Hashili?" Called the police looking at Marry as if trying to intervene and bring down the tension she sees building. "Hold on one moment detective" said Marry holding up a hush finger in the air and turned back to Cecilia, "I think I know what's going on here, did my father get to you Cecilia?" asked Marry, angrily and putting her hands down onto her purse. "Miss, we can offer you protection if something has happened, are you being threatened or something, we know this is a high profile case and we are very well aware of what high profile people can be capable of, and we can only help you if you speak up, are you sure you're okay?" asked the detective with hands intertwined and trying to get the nervous looking Cecilia to speak up. Cecilia hesitated for a moment and looked at both the police officer and back to Marry and finally spoke when she made up her mind and concluded that their protection might not really be enough. "Detective, I really don't know what she is talking about, I just got a call to come to the station and I came because I was at the hospital that same night and as she said, I attended to the woman sitting here and her father as she is saying but I haven't seen an old man, or any man as she claims, the only old man I have seen that has anything to do with the patient is his father, so if I can go please I want to get excused, I have patients in the hospital so can I go?" asked Cecilia speaking confidently yet one can tell the fright squeak in her voice. "I'm very sorry ma'am for wasting your time, you can go" said the Detective, dropping the pen she had on the desk and signaling with her hand for Cecilia to exit. Cecilia stood up with her purse and left the office with Marry looking at her with a pleading look before she turned and looked at the detective again hoping that maybe she will stop Cecilia from leaving but the detective also just shook her shoulders as in this case it was out of her power and she really didn't know who to believe. "No, no you cant let her go just like that, she is not telling the truth and you know that" said Marry loudly and crying looking at both the disappearing Cecilia and back to the detective with teary eyes. "Miss Hashili, this is a police station office and we don't make accusations without solid evidence, I don't know you too, how do I know you aren't lying either?" asked Detective Hamutenya with one hand placed on the forehead for head support and the other hand playing with the pen she just dropped earlier. "I'm not lying, open this case again and investigate my father, I'm telling you you will find something, please detective I beg you" said Marry crying with her voice becoming shaper by the minute. "Look, Marry, I know you are new here and I don't know how you do things from wherever you came from but this is not how we do things here. We have procedures we follow and we for sure don't go around poking bears and on false accusations even for that matter, Mr. Hashili is a big deal in this town, he does donations everywhere and he donated this office so justice gets served so get out of my office before I lock you up for false information and name slender, if you want to ruin your father's reputation, find other ways to do it without involving the authority, we are here to protect people, not to violate their rights" said the police woman angrily and tearing the file she opened for Marry and threw it in the bin. Marry stood up demoralized and crying, took her purse and walked out of the station.
Another day and night has dawned over the town and its residents, and today was another shiny bright new day with butterflies flying over the flowers and birds chirping to welcome a great morning, but inside all the walls that looked all perfect, the sunshine isn't embraced by the human as much as it is by the birds.
@Hashili Manor
Sonja stepped into her en-suite bathtub filled with water and fancy tulips to get the most exhilarating shower she ever had, in the kitchen, the house help is busy making breakfast and laying the table fit for a king and queen as it is an everyday thing in the Hashili household. Gardeners outside are busy trimming the bushes and the butler is carrying in the mail. Sonja is stepping out of her bathtub and walked to the room wiping her hair with a towel. Evelyn is busy dressing up for breakfast and to look as presentable as always, she stood facing her mirror with an unzipped dress when her husband walked up to her from behind reaching down for Evelyn's zipper to close it. she held her hair to avoid it getting caught up in the zipper and asked her husband seductively, "How do I look?" she asked looking at his reflection in the mirror. "You look like how you did when I met you twenty years ago my love" responded David seductively smelling Evelyn's neck and slowly zipping the dress. Sonja Is putting on her pair of stalking wearing a red two-piece trouser suit, with a kerchief for a neckpiece, she slipped into her black stiletto and stood by the mirror, and took her make up kit. In the dining room downstairs the house help laid the table with all different kinds of food and stood there waiting for the house owners to emerge, Hope and Hussein where already sitting at the table waiting to get served, David and his wife came out of the room looking all elegant and sat at the end of the tables when Sonja also walked out of her room looking all pretty. "I see, you went all out on the expense of the Hashili money?" asked Evelyn folding her kerchief to avoid spilling food onto her dress. "I'm okay Evelyn, how are you too? Hi dad" said Sonja and sat down the table "Are you going somewhere productive?" asked Evelyn jealously and looking at Sonja while taking plates to start serving herself. "Not at all, but I'll be going to check out a place for my studio later, that daddy will buy for me, I would invite you but, we don't really roll like that now do we?" said Sonja eating from her plate and looking at Evelyn. David and the rest of the people were just busy eating and ignoring the shady conversation. "But you look quite exquisite today, right color choice, you'll have places to go today" said Sonja mocking Evelyn. Evelyn ignored all of that and her mind was only concentrated on the studio that Sonja mentioned, she turned and looked at David. "A studio? Really David? We didn't talk about this" said Evelyn looking at David "Just let her have fun Evelyn, if she gets a studio, she will be out of your face, now can I have a moment to eat my breakfast in peace" said David just moments before the doorbell rang. "I hope its some good news finally this day cant get any worse" said Evelyn throwing down her hand kerchief, "Ill get it and trust me, it is good news" said Sonja dropping her kerchief also and walked to the door and opened the door. Sonja came walking following Evelyn's lawyer who was walking towards the table. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Hashili," said the man placing his case on the table, "Morning young man, how can we help you?" asked Evelyn looking at the lawyer worried, "Uhm I have bad news ma'am, I am from the OSH lawyers and I came to tell you that you father has passed away last week" said The lawyer looking at Evelyn sympathetically. "What?" asked Evelyn shocked. "Why didn't I get told earlier?" she asked afraid with teary eyes and looking at everyone as if looking for an answer on their faces, "We called the mansion last week but we got asked to deliver the news in person, I am very sorry ma'am" responded the lawyer also puzzled. "Uhm told to come here by who?" asked Evelyn with an apple in hand and looking at people's faces until she came across Sonja's face and froze in a death stare "Oh you" said Evelyn looking angrily at Sonja who started walking towards her "Oh look, they die too, who would have thought?, and by the look of it, you don't have an appetite anymore, I guess you don't need this" said Sonja and took the apple from Evelyn's grapple and walked out. Evelyn got so furious that she pulled the cloth off the table, crashing everything down.
@ Ongwediva Clinical-Park Hospital
Sunday pulled up at the hospital in his fancy car and black shades and went inside the hospital. Marry also pulled up from her car looking all fly and followed in the hospital with a bouquet of flowers and gave her card to the receptionist who filled in her visitations and let her go through. Sunday opened the room and entered with his hands pocketed and walked over to his brother's bed, he looked at his brother from head to toe and let out one big breath still looking at his brother. "You'll be okay big guy, you will be just fine, we can get through this, you kept everyone fine and safe, now its our turn" he said removing his one hand from his pocket and fixing his brother's pillows. Marry walked in with her flowers in hand and her handbag over her shoulder. "Well I thought I would be alone here" said Marry closing the door behind her and walked over to the bed. "You know I cant let that happen to my big sister" said Sunday turning to face Marry with his arms open for a hug "Well, step sister per say" said Marry walking towards Sunday and smiling wide, "C'mon, you know you're a Hashili more than we could ever be since your mom gave you her husband's surname" said Sunday smiling and rubbing Marry's back. "LOL, the only best decision I think my mom ever made" said Marry pulling away from the hug and smiling also. "Yeah, Sonja told me about your meeting with the police how did it go?" asked Sunday sitting down on the sofa in the room. "well," said Marry putting down a water mug she had in hand and looked at Sunday. " it didn't go as planned, I guess somehow, adoptive daddy dearest got tipped off and got to the Nurse before she could get to the police so when she got there, she was shaking like a soldier in a game of thrones winter and I looked stupid in front of the chief detective" Answered Marry Putting the flowers she brought into a vase and throwing away the plastic ones she found provided by the hospital. "Why am I not surprised?" asked Sunday shaking his head with his hands on his hips. "Yeah, it felt too easy anyways so I was actually afraid of it but we now can't ignore the fact that this man has eyes and ears everywhere so I think we need to be discreet about whatever we decide to do from now on, seems like he beat us again" Said Marry wiping the brother's forehead with a wet cloth to relieve his temperature. "We really need to nail this guy" Responded Sunday. Stephan's doctor walked in and greeted everyone asking them to leave the room as he needed to administer the patient's injection and visiting time was apparently over. Marry and Sunday got up, took their belongings and left the ward, they continued with their conversation in the corridor while walking to their cars.
@Studios
Sonja although made sure she ruined Evelyn's whole day, she was making sure that no one will ruin her day so feeling as good as she looked, she steps out of her car in her red two piece suit holding her beaded clutch purse and her portfolio case walking into a glass building with her heels pounding on the ground sounding like power has just arrived and then put her portfolio on the receptionists desk, removed her shades and looked at the secretary like she owns the building. "Good morning mem, I am Miss Sonja Hashili" said Sonja whom the secretary cut short as they were already expecting her to pop up. "Ow, uhm you're here to see Miss Alexandra right? she has been waiting for you in her office" said the secretary interruptedly smiling wide and pointing the direction out for Sonja. "I'm here for the studio hunt?" said Sonja a bit unsure. Alexandra spotted Sonja from the window office and came down to meet her halfway, "Ow Hi, you must be Sonja Hashili, it is a pleasure to finally have you here with us, I run the building and the real estate you want to enquire with" said Alexandra walking from an elevator extending her hand to Shake Sonja's. "Ill take it from here thank you very much" she added, telling the secretary and looking at her while shaking Sonja's hand and holding her shoulder "I'm Alexandra, Alexandra Kucherova" added Alexandra walking away with Sonja, whose face lit up when she heard the name "Thank you so much Miss Kucherova for fitting me in on your tight Schedule" said Sonja, holding her Portfolio case and her jacket laying on the other arm walking through the corridor towards Alexandra's office. "Say nothing about it my darling, your father and I go back a long way so it's the least I could do for all he did for me, I probably would have remained in the streets to this day if it wasn't for him" said Alexandra opening the door to her office "Well, daddy can be full of surprises and we wouldn't want you to remain in the streets now would we" Said Sonja walking into the office. "Yeah, and speaking of suprises, he didn't tell me he has an artistic daughter though, well until a while back." Said Alexandra standing over her seat extending her hand pointing at the seat in front of Sonja directing her to seat "Trust me, he also had no idea as I haven't grown up around the town, I've been in boarding school my entire life and always painted for pleasure and not for business" said Sonja giving her files to Alexandra who took her glasses and started paging through. "Well, this are brilliant, so can we go on that studio hunt Miss Hashili?" said Alexandra so excited and looking at Sonja over her glasses.
@Daniel's
Daniel was busy on his laptop when his wife came in with her kids in both hands, she dragged them into the house and closed the door behind her. "That was fast babe, already interior designed?" said Daniel closing his laptop halfway to look at his wife and kids "Daddyyyyy!!!" shouted the kids running to Daniel who stood up wearing his Boxers and hugged his kids "My babies!!" he added while kissing their foreheads, stood up and looked at his wife. "and their pretty mother" he added while putting the kids down and kissing his wife on the lips and taking her laptop bag form her. "Thanks babe, you're my cute husband too and we responsible for the kids looks I believe" answered Sophia, kissing her husband back while holding his arms. Sophia looked at her husband and smiled wide, gave him a peck on his lips and she continued to remove her scarf and jacket and putting it on the sofa. In her shirt and jean, Sophia took her laptop and put it next to Daniel's on the kitchen counter and turned it on, then looked at her husband with one hand on her shoulder. "Well I checked the place out, and ill need some input from the husband of the year to help design it" she added looking at her husband "Sure thing babe, anytime, I just need to shift a few things around and then I will help my baby" said Daniel walking to his wife and smiling.
@Hashili Manor
Marry walked in to the sitting room with her handbag resting on the arm and her car keys on the other hand, just like anyone else, her car keys also can't fit in her pockets. She found her mother seated on the sofa who fake started weeping when she saw her. She stood and looked at her mother, shook her head in disbelief, threw her BMW keys inside the bag over her shoulder and then put her bag on the table, she then stood facing the seated Evelyn "What is it this time mother? who died?" she asked being sarcastic yet annoyed by her mother's crocodile tears, With her arms folded wearing a full white dress and tapping her white Ria pink bottom stiletto. The Ria brand was the epitome of "I've made it in life" in Namibia and wearing either the designer suit or the shoes, gets one to stand out, thus this family was obsessed with them. "I'm sorry baby, but your grandfather has passed away and it has been a week now" said Evelyn looking up and sobbing deeply and looked down again clutching on to a kerchief "Ow, I'm sorry mother I didn't know that someone really had died and you're only telling me today after a week?" said Marry finally realizing that for once, her mother might be crying for real. She went sitting down next to the mother and holding her shoulders for comfort. "I'm sorry Marry, I also just found out today in the worst brutal way ever." Said Evelyn, scooching a bit to look at the daughter and putting her hands faced up on her hips so that she can easily explain and dish the story the way it is. "Sonja got the message but she kept quiet and made sure it only arrived to me today, which is a low blow, even for me" said Evelyn looking at Marry and blowing her nose yet deep inside, she feels that she might be able to stir up trouble between the two girls. "Wait Are you sure of what you're saying? I thought maybe in our darkest time you'll change, you're still accusing people" said Marry standing up not believing what her mother is saying and looking disappointed. "Why would I lie about something like that my baby? Cant we put our differences aside for now? After all we need each other" said Evelyn looking at Marry. Sonja walked in just that instant and stopped in her tracks when she saw Marry and Evelyn in the room. "Ow sorry, I forgot I walked into a funeral" she said with a smirk looking at Evelyn "So its true?" asked Marry fuming. "What did this witch tell you now Marry?" asked Sonja dropping her shopping bags on the counter in the sitting room. "My grandfather passed away and you see that as a gun in your petty fights with my mother?" asked Marry moving closer to Sonja. "I saw an opportunity and I took it, why the fuss?" asked Sonja putting her purse on the side table. Evelyn is looking at Sonja with a huge smile since Marry is giving her her back, and in a long time, Marry is referring to her as mother again. "This isn't how I raised you" said Marry in disbelief. "Please you only got lucky in all you did because you have my father's surname" said Sonja with an attitude. Marry thought for a while and smacked Sonja hard on the cheek, Sonja rubbed her cheek and returned the slap also. A cat fight ensued between the ladies and wigs flew all over the place "I disown you Sonja, I'm no longer responsible for you" said Marry picking up her wig from the floor after the fight. "I'm a grown woman now, you cant be in charge of me, and this is all my fathers properties and from today onwards we are enemies Marry" said Sonja holding one broken heel in the hand and a pulled out weave in the other and walking only with one intact heel to her room while Marry is walking out the house after grabbing her bag and holding her weave in another hand. Evelyn started smiling looking down at the table maniacally. She wiped her tears in one go on each eye, threw the kerchief down, folded her legs on the sofa then Took her magazine from the Side table and continued reading.
