I stirred the porridge gently in the pot as l watched as ma'am susan jotting words down with her feather pen , lve always wanted to write but l have never gotten the chance to since l started working as a maid since l was a little girl . I poured the porridge and went to serve her
Me. I love your handwriting
Susan . I know
Me. U must be a very bright student

Taking a spoonful of porridge

Susan. Well ur not very bright at cooking are u

Me. But ...l
Her . This porridge is too sweet ,l hate sweet stuff 😡
Me. I'll ....
Her . You will what ... Wait for mom to come downstairs huh Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me. Please lll cook you some.......

" Yes dear" . And then she arrived wearing her long floral dress looking on point as usual her dress hugging her figure and her make up on point . She was beautiful .... But not in the inside that's for sure
Me. Morning madam
Her. Wats wrong sweety
Susan . Kathy cooked porridge with too much sugar and l hate sugery stuff and she knows that but she cooked anyways on purpose
Me. It wasn't interntional
Ma'am. Don't u dare talk unless you are told to u hear
Me. Yes ma'am but...
She took the hot pot and spilled the hot porridge over my head without hesitation l just stood still in shock
Susan . Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkhahahahahahahahah
Ma'am . Get out of here and go get yourself cleaned up come back and cook proper food u hear
Me.....
She gave me a hard hot slap
Her. I said u hear
Me . Y....e...s ma'am (rubbing my cheeks with my hand)
Ma'am. Now look my hand is covered in gross porridge
Me. Sorry ma'am
Ma'am . Wat are you still doing here
I walked away limping covered in porridge . And was about to walk out when sir Francis walked in
Him . Wat the.....
Me . Gud morning sir .....l......
Him. It's okey l get it .....sorry
Me . Thank you (l whispered)
Sir Francis was the only good person in that family hes just 16 but knows more morality than his other members
I went outside and saw Clarrisa in my room
Me. Wat .. how
She just pulled me in for a hug
Clarrisa. They're selling me to a farm
Me. Clarrisa WAT you can't leave me here alone l don't know what to do here all alone
Clarrisa. Kathy stop
Me. I'm gonna have to kill myself because eventually they will kill me either way
Clarrisa . Kathy stop!! Okey don't say something like that
Me. Wat do you want me to say huh they took mom now you lm all alone now all alone!!!!  I can't survive here look at me lm covered in hot porridge here and have burn marks all over me huh u who will help me get these marks off
Clarrisa. Let me help...
Me. But who will help me wen ur gone
I was now covered in tears and my heart had crumbled into small pieces l have had enough of this
Clarrisa . Don't cr....y please
Her voice was now breaking and l could see that she was holding back her tears
Me . U promised me u said we would die together and we will always be together remember together we're stronger
Clarrisa . I know l know okey don't u think lm hurting too
Me. All u had to do was wash thee damn clothes and ull not be going anywhere now !!but u had to be Soooooooooo dramatic
Clarrisa. Dramatic really is that wat u think of me
Me. Yes yes that's exactly what l think
Clarrisa. I'm out of here  ..... Gud luck on ur own
Me. Fine go leave me ....here
I watched as she left the room . And as soon as she did l fell on the ground and broke into tears even the burns of the porridge felt like nothing to me 1 hour later
I think cried myself to sleep  . I woke up changed my potato sack clothing and l looked at myself though a small piece of Brocken glass .. l can't believe that l used to be called beautiful by some people . My hair is natural and l hate it and l hate my colour even worse black huh l laughed at myself
And then l went to the main house to go continue with my chores and l realised that the burnt marks on my skin were begging to worsen but honestly who care either way lm always gonna be ugly . I almost opened the door but then l remembered that l hadn't cook porridge within an hour and it's now too late to clean the house so the door is probably locked and everyone has gone

Oh no no no no no no
I have to get inside and clean up before anyone comes inside but how ... Times like this Clarrisa would pop up one of her smart or either funny ideas but she's not here now lm all alone and stranded ll have to sneak in through a window  that wasn't gonna be easy the only window open was the one in the ma'am s room and l had to climb up there ..... I went in the garage and got a ladder hopefully l would climb my way up and get in clean up real fast then exit
I climbed till l reached the open window then got in safely just as l had entered the room
" Wat are u doing in here" l swear l froze and l couldn't even move a muscle l was just in shock  ... " Wat are u doing in here" this voice sounded Soo familiar though it was oh no sir Francis l turned around and looked at him ... Now he probably thought l was a thief or something
Him. Why would u sneak through the window wen the front door was clearly open
Oh God l forgot to check if the front door was open 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ lm busted 🙇🏼‍♀️
