Akosuah forced herself to sleep so daytime can come early. The Adjei family live on the fifth and sixth floor.
They rented the entire two floors paying more than five hundred thousand points per month.
There are ten bedrooms, two kitchen, four bathrooms and two living rooms in total.
There are few villa buildings in the base these days. Land is precious so most buildings are fifteen to twenty story buildings.
The lower the floor,the more expensive it is.
Akosuah woke up at dawn with excitement and entered her space again.
It's still there.
She jumped up and down , started running around like a child. She went to the stream to fetch water with her palm to drink.
She drunk to her fullest before stopping. Even though their family is part of the wealthy class in the base, they can't use water anyhow to their comfort.
The water for bathing is filtered and treated with chemicals. The base scientists have warned everyone the dangers of drinking such waters so no one would dare to drink water that is not from water supernatural power.
Using water from treated well water for other things except cooking, drinking or dispensing medicine is ok.
The probability of getting mutated bacteria and worms into the body is greatly reduced this way.
Akosuah Adjei walked out and knocked on her mother's door.
"Mom...mom,can I come in?"
"Yes you can dear".
I entered and sat on the couch in the room.
Felicia Oteng looked at her daughter who has dark circles under her eyes with heartache thinking she was too sad to sleep last night, but what needs to be done has to be done.
"How are u doing this morning?"
Akosuah Adjei replied her, " mom I'm fine. I hope you are well too"
" Don't worry about me, I didn't want to talk about what was happening yesterday with you but I think with the way the situation is going right now, we have to talk"
" Where do you think is best for us to stay in the base? I was thinking of area C considering our financial situation."
The Adjei family is in area B. The base is divided in five areas. From area A to E.
Area A houses the base commander, scientists, three deputies of the base, and the few people who have made great meritorious deeds and contributions .
There are only villa houses there. Each family lives in one Villa. There are only thirty eight villa buildings in area A. The people there are the real powerful people in the base.
The area B is for the rich and the army in the base. Area C to E is open for all but it depends on your financial situation.
Area E is very crowded and there are lot of criminals there. The buildings there are also story buildings with the highest having fifty floors and the the lowest is thirty eight floors.
There are no single rooms here. It's four five, six or eight people in a room.
Area D is also like that but theirs is two, three or four people in a room.
The prices are also cheap. Ten to fifteen points a month in area E and twenty-five to forty points a month per person in area D.
Akosuah Adjei thought about it, " mom, let's rent in area B here. I have my reasons. I know we will be stretched for the first two months if we rent here but we can rent a chamber and hall for twenty thousand points here. "
" I have twenty three thousand points on my card. We can add it to your points and rent for first three months."
"By the end of the three months, we would have made arrangements for the future. Let's take it one at a time".
Felicia Oteng thought of it, felt she was right.
" Yes, you are right, we are two women and area B will be more safer for us compared to area C . Hmmm... I didn't think of it more. I only thought of our current money. Forgetting that I can still work."
"Mom.....what are you saying,I I will also join a team to go out with you when you find a good team for us to join."
"What?! Are you going crazy or do you want to give me heart attack? I beg, don't even think about it" Said Felicia Oteng.
"Mom please listen to me, I have to go. You alone won't work"
"Then I'm not going anymore " Felicia Oteng retorts angrily.
PA Pa Pa.... the first concubine opened the door and started clapping.
"what a touching scene "
The first concubine says mockingly
" You guys don't even know that the shop in my dear sister's name has been sold cheaply just last night"
" My dear Felicia, you should be aware of how cruel the old man can be, and yet you believed him yesterday, when he said, ok , you can take your personal property away"
"It's better to check your balance fast on a card reader to see if your points are still there. I hope you don't trust his words that much"
Akosuah Adjei and Felicia Oteng were so scared that they didn't know what to do. Felicia Oteng started fumbling for the card to check the points as the first concubine said.
Felicia Oteng was still so naive at this time. She shouldn't have measured Mr. Adjei senior with other people.
He is just too dark and Felicia Oteng thought too well of human nature at this time.
She should be thinking of the worst that someone can do at this point.
Felicia Oteng quickly checked and luckily her over hundred thousand points are still there. She turned to the first concubine and asked,
" Why did you tell me about the shop and have I not warned you not come to my room without knocking nor eavesdrop on my conversation?"
