Ever wondered what God and His Angels were doing before they decided to create us. We all have heard so many myths, legends and folklores , You probably have also heard stories from the bible about how it all went, but is that really how it happened tho?
Ever wondered? Ever wondered? Why we really were created? To what purpose? Sometimes it feels like The Creators and The Universe no longer listen to us. Why create something and just abandon it.
Who are the creators sef? Shouldnt a creator have a creator? Or creators? Or gods? Or ..God? Who is this God? Does God even exist ..Thats a really crazy question though, that's like asking for the smell of colour blue, /Grins Uncontrollably/ or The smell of ... /Sneezes/ "I really want to do that again!!" /Sneezes/ "Wow, another one is coming" ... "No it's not" ... "Oh snap, it's comiiiii..." /Sneezes/
Annie Mako was so lost in these usual near-crazy thoughts when she perceived something unusually pleasant, it was really strong and it was giving her the urge to sneeze another round.. "OH MY GOD!!" , She screamed! It's Jollof rice for fvcks sakes, with curry and Chicken Flavored Maggi, being cooked under a tiny room with shut doors and half closed windows, how did she not perceive it, she must have really being immersed in her thought to the extent of not being aware of her surroundings .. "I'm dead! Oh, Lord, I'm dead ,now I just gave him another excuse to touch me"
She knelt down near the stove and dozed the firewood with some water then crawled to the door where she found Janice knocking. "How long has she been there"?, she stood up and felt a sharp sting on her crotch, it hasn't healed yet from Mr Mako's last night "touching", she slumped and felt back on her knees.
Annie : "JANICE!"
Janice : /Screams/ "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" /Her facial expression instantly changes when she saw Annie sweating profusely/ "fvck is wrong with you? I've been knocking for the past 10 minutes? I thought you've lit up the whole house like last week again, the whole compound smells of barbecue" /chuckles loudly/ "..what is burning, dumbass?"
Annie : "Do you have any idea where Mr Mako went to?"
Janice : "uhn? No? And why? And what's burning? And ..for fvck sakes, Why do u like calling your dad that? And why are you kneeling??"
Annie : "He prefers I call him that …"
Janice : "Not weird at all, so not weird at all" /pulls a smug face/ "... sooo ....that magically answers all my questions??"
Annie : "The rice" /Tears clouding her eyes/ "the rice has burnt black, he's going to kill me" /now sobbing uncontrollably/
****************************************************************************
Except for Janice Lincoln and her little brother,Matt Lincoln, Annie Mako has no friends …Annie is a very shy person so shes always keeping to herself. Academically, she's an average student, but socially, she's off, she never interacts with her fellow students neither does she participate in any extra curricula activities in school. No one really knows anything about Annie except that her mom died when she was young and she's been living with her dad after he was deported from Japan into China.
Annie's Dad, Mike Mako is a native of Zhao Clan China, he met Annie's Mom in Nigeria when he was on World Tour with his Musician-Bestfreind, Jack Joe. After Mr Mike Mako was deported from Japan and went back to China, He finally decided to come to Nigeria with Annie to find greener pastures and continue his Wine Production Business.
Luckily, his business flourished and he made lots of money even more than when he was in China and Japan. So he finally settled in Lagos. Mr Mike Mako now moves about with Politicians and made friends with most of them. Work at daylight - party at Nightime, This was the usual Cycle. He never had time for his daughter because he often comes home wasted, very late and drunk and tired. Although, he always makes sure he wakes up early to get her dressed for school then sends her to the Lincoln's where they wait for the school bus
Annie understands her Dad's business and never disturbs him with any personal problems. He is never hesistent to pay her fees, and always give her twice the amount for allowance than an average student, Money is good, isn't it?
Mr Mike Mako is a reputable man in his society, very religious but like the saying goes 'No one is 100%', Mr Mike Mako has a mental condition called 'Pedophilia' no one has noticed because he doesn't look it. Intact you wouldn't either except you are very close to him.
While Annie was growing up, The Father-Daughter Bond between them was so strong to the extent that they were envied by other parents in the neighbourhood. Even some lagos housewives were so attracted to him and his name comes in conversations at the salon. You couldn't suspect anything cos afterall He is HER DAD!
Mr Mike Mako was once having a bath for Annie at age 6 when he started doing some 'exploring', could it be the Father-Daughter Bond or something else?. When Anna clocked 13, He once came home so drunk that he forgot he was no longer in the strip club he was coming from, So he told Her to strip, Anna thought it was funny so she did it, and followed his next 'INSTRUCTIONS' afterall He is HER DAD!
This has been going on for a while now, She was so used to it and so she didn't see anything wrong in stripping and sleeping with her dad , and she didn't tell anyone about it either. When she clocked 15, Annie, just like her mom, was Light-Dark African skin tone, Small Asian eyes, curly hairs. Was it the alcohol or is Mr Mike Mako just Deluded from the fact that Annie was starting to look so much like her mom.
There was a night when he came home so drunk and he did his usual, but this time she was injured, Annie cried so much that day ,no one was there to comfort her. The drunk man already fell asleep after spilling his juice on the sheets. She started getting conscious of what was really going on and was starting to get tired of It and just wanted a normal life. It was until the next morning he met her still crying, unable to walk, when he apologized.
Annie : "I'll be okay? ,is that what you want me to say? If you wake up tomorrow and found out that I had killed myself, would you even care?"
Mr Mike Mako : /Tilts her face towards his direction trying to make eye contact/ "If you wake up tomorrow and found out that I had killed you.." /Grins and winks at her/ "..would you even care? "
Annie : "Dad!!! You think this is a joke?"
Mr Mike Mako : /Looking pissed/ "Hey! What did i tell you about calling me that?"
Annie : /Bows her head but gives a smug face/ "Mr Mako, I'm sorry but…" /raising her voice slightly/ "…I can't do this anymore" /Tears clouding her eyes/
Mr Mike Mako : "You ungrateful bitch" /Gives Annie A Slap/ "After all I've done for you! you think I really wish to have you? You are someone's else's junk! Your stupid father is probably out there flexing! Your goddamn mother was a harlot! A one night thing for me! Didn't know she was gon get pregnant, You should have been aborted! I took care of you all this years, now you are raising your voice at me?" /Grabbing her by the neck/ "NOW YOU ARE RAISING YOUR VOICE AT ME UHN?"
Annie : /Now sobbing uncontrollably/ "but ..but.. I didn't.. raise my voice at you, you're.. hurting.. me.. Dad!"
Mr Mike Mako gives her another slap and stormed out of the room.
