Clara who was at the beach with her friends. She was wearing a green bikini showcasing her slender legs. Her figure was well proportioned but always felt jealous to whoever was better than her . Seated on the inclined chair with her glasses,she quite attracted men who seemed to ogle shamelessly at her body. She scrolled through her social media handles but when she scrolled through TikTok,she clicked on Annabelle and Priccy's live video and felt an intense jealous browsing inside her mind.
Clenching her hands on the phone that she almost crushed it. " Hey girl! ,I brought your drink but what's wrong with that look?, has someone just pissed you off." Barbara Clara's friend asked worriedly.
" You remember those girls who took the crown at the dance competition?" Clara asked while playing with her long red nails.
" Yeah! ,I kinda of remember them, Ohh those with graceful figures, no one could ever forget them." Barbara said but suddenly stopped talking as her friend's face looked like it could bore holes into her body.
" I didn't tell you to start admiring their figures but right now I need your help as it will come in handy with what am going to do, if not they will always get the spotlight." Clara said with a menacing gaze. Barbara just shrinked back in her seat because whenever Clara looked like she was gonna kill someone it wasn't good news. Though they are friends,but she has never truly understood her friend's train of thoughts and if not for the benefits she received,she would have escaped like someone in a toxic relationship.
Sending a text message to unknown number,she clicked the send button and Barbara just prayed to whoever got her friend's attention to brace themselves.
Back at Annabelle and Priccy's apartment.
" We've quite attracted a number of viewers on our live video today. Sometimes when things sail smoothly without a single obstacle I feel weird in my heart." Priccy voiced her worries to Annabelle who was replying some texts from the new fans.
Placing the phone on the coffee table, Annabelle shifted her gaze to Priccy and gave her a comforting hug. " What you should know that I also have my fears but I have never let them to rule over me. If fear is bred in your heart,you will eventually lose confidence in yourself. So my dear don't let the devil to take control of your because of the fear of the unknown but we should just prepare ourselves like soldiers going for a fierce battle well armored.". Annabelle adviced Priccy who was amazed.
" Wow! ,you should have become a motivational speaker for instance your courageous words always spike my confidence, thanks so much Annabelle I don't know what I would have become if not for your constant reassurance." Priccy said with tears in the brim of her eyes.
Letting go of each other, they picked up their keys as the sun had faded up in the sky to welcome the moon.
At Entebbe international airport,at the arrivals. A lady dressed in a long light green dress with a turban on her head held her suitcase and looked amazed at how Uganda the pearl of Africa was developing. She had come back home after spending several years in Arabic countries working as a house maid.
She had left her motherland to work hard for her family and also provide a better future for her children since it was hard to get employed when you're not literate. Truth be told but living in diaspora is like walking on edges because everyday you wake up alive without being tortured by your Boss' is a blessing. Others who had left with her were unable to return as their cruel Boss' didn't give them an opportunity to leave unscathed after committing a mistake. She would also have become like them who are now like wind that brows clothes dry. They yearned to come back to their motherland but we're not given the chance.
She escaped the household when everyone had gone to the mosque but she was almost caught but the creator sent her someone to her rescue. Reminiscing about those terrible days made her heart to spike vowing to never return to such countries. But not all Arabian Boss' are rude, some treat their maids very well unlike others that even talking to the husband may risk your life.
A taxi from Rida parked outside the airport and two silhouettes stepped out of it. Paying their bills, they strode towards the gate for arrivals and saw Agnes who was tilting her head with her suitcase. Priccy was the first to sight her mom though they had taken several years without seeing each other,she could never forget how she looked like. When Agnes's gaze met Priccy's,her vision blurred with streams of tears because she couldn't believe that her daughter had grown into a beautiful lady.
Time stood still but Annabelle tapped on Priccy who was crying,she suddenly sprang and gave her mom a hug. They spent few minutes like that until Agnes saw Annabelle who smiled just like an angel. Separating from her daughter's embrace,she felt some how ashamed as Annabelle got to witness their emotions that raged like a beast in the jungle.
" Sorry for that my dear,I just got too emotional a while ago I hope you don't mind." Agnes said to Annabelle who just hugged her. Holding the suitcase,Priccy held her mother's hand like she would suddenly vanish into thin air. Agnes wondered that if Priccy could behave like this what about her son and beloved husband.
Annabelle phoned a taxi that arrived in few minutes as they sat at the cafe ordering snacks to take back home. Priccy's dad who had just finished preparing dinner was all smiles as his beloved wife had returned back home. He couldn't stop smiling because the moment they lost contact with her ,he almost went crazy and kept regretting to agree to her request of working a broad. His young son was happy but he controlled his behavior as some people could call him weird.
They arrived at Nansana where Priccy's family was residing from. The gateman rushed to the gate but was bewildered when he caught sight of his boss who had spent several years a broad. He became emotional but instantly smiled as joy filled every inch in his body. Agnes just smiled because she couldn't believe that their gateman would still stick to them in this kind of situation. Other employees had quit after finding out that they were bankrupt and had to resort to rent a house in the ghetto's of kamokya were they got an opportunity to be welcomed by Sabrina and her daughter Annabelle.
Entering the house,the delicious aroma surrounded them . James who was still wearing an apron broke down in sobs because of too much happiness. Agnes dropped her suitcase and hugged him like there was no tomorrow. Priccy held Annabelle's hands and went upstairs to give space to the couple. Their son also joined the hug since his mother left him when he was just five years old. He always yearned for her love but his dad always played the role of both parents so well.
Sitting on the couch, Agnes ruffled her son's hair though he didn't like it but anyway this was his most beloved person.
" My baby you've grown into a fine man,but am sorry for leaving you back then." Agnes said with tears in her eyes.
" Mom! I don't blame you at all ." Ben said with a huge smile plastered on his face.
They talked about her life in diaspora until James remembered that he had made dinner that might turn cold. Priccy and Annabelle came downstairs to help serve the dinner. Arranging the utensils, James started serving pilao with meat and cabbages. The aroma made Agnes's stomach to grumb. Thanking the mighty,they started savoring the taste of pilao.
Agnes brought her suitcase and started distributing the gifts to everyone. Agnes had brought all the necessities for a lady ranging from make-up to trendy clothes. Annabelle and Priccy became so excited because they were worried of going for shopping yet next week was serious business.
James and Ben received their share but decided to open the gifts later .
Agnes requested Annabelle and Priccy to spend the night with them. They decided to stay since they would wake up before dawn to prepare for tomorrow. They chatted until midnight when everyone started skating back to their rooms.
Clara in the bar with her friend requested for strong liquor to relieve stress from her body. Several guys wanted to hit on her but she wasn't a bit interested because her mind was already set on someone. She would do whatever it takes to make the guy fall for her. He was the kind of man who's handsomeness would blow every woman.
