The highway was very busy as cars ran through the road,ama rode her bicycle carefully as she avoided car coming with full speed;she almost made it pass the highway when an accident occurred.
She stopped her bicycle seeing the smoke coming from the car,the car was rolling down the road with force;she wondered what happened.
pedestrians and road users gathered round the scene as they watched,ama ran to the car trying to help the person out;she met with a young guy who had blood on her head.
he had passed out,ama rushed him out when the police van arrived;she felt scared but she couldn't leave the dying victim.
"Help him please,he is dying",she said in a panic voice;she cared less of what would happen to her later.
the ambulance took the young man from her but she insisted on following them,they were at the hospital when ama's cellphone rang;fear gripped her heart when she saw that it was her uncle.
did her cousin tell on her,she bit her lips while watching the man on the bed;she did the right thing and she didn't care if she was punished.
"Hello uncle,i got stuck in traffic",she lied while pacing around;she didn't want her uncle scolding today.
"get back home,i am very hungry and i can't wait anymore",he screamed before hanging up which made ama breathed out in relief;she would have been dead if her uncle knew the truth.
The doctor came to her,"how is he";she asked;"he is doing fine but do you know any of his family".
Ama shook her head,she knew she could find something about this man but does he want to be found;she walked out of the hospital with a heavy heart.

Choas filled the house as everyone ran up and down,they held their heads as they wished they just died;what would they tell their master.
"We have died,where did the young master go",one of the maids asked the butler who looked unsurprised;"get back to work and let me handle this matter".
she nodded at him and left for her duty post,she wondered if the butler would be fired;she hoped not because he was the nanny of the young master and he knew everything about him when his father didn't know.
"Where is my son",an angry voice yelled out;the butler stood looking unaffected.
"the young master is on a trip and wouldn't be coming home for some days",he said when the man laughed;he held the glass in his hand before having a slip.
"a trip,i would like to see him when he is back",he said before turning his attention to the newspaper that he was reading;butler sam breathed out in relief hoping the young master was alright wherever he is.

Ama got back home as she dashed into the kitchen,"what do you think you are doing";her cousin asked from behind.
ama didn't say a word but kept bringing out the ingredients that she bought,"i want to cook,is that a problem stephie";she asked while arranging them on the shelf.
"I have already made something,don't touch the things i have done already witch",stephie said rolling her eyes at her;she felt irritated that her father took this brat into their house.
ama dropped the things that she was holding and turned to leave when she felt a hand grabbed her wrist,she received a hard slap on her cheek and she turned to see her uncle;"uncle".
"You little witch,i have been waiting for you and you are here proving..what",he spatted out;ama felt her tears rolled down her cheek.
she sniffed in before standing up to walk to her room,she looked at her swollen cheek;ouch it stings a lot.
she went on her knees as she cried her eyes out,she couldn't even sleep well so what was the need of shelter.
