Chapter 4🧹🧹🧹📚

I sat on the car seat comfortably and couldn't stop smiling this was my first time sitting in a car . I've always wished that one day l would own a car of my own . But that dream would never come true anyway

Francis . Why are u smiling at a time like this
I looked at Francis who seemed to be very focused on the road and had a serious look on his face .
Me. It's nothing sir
Francis . Well it looks like something
Me. It's just that... I've always dreamt of u know.. getting in a car and seems like my dream has just come true.. Soo that's all
Francis. (Sighing loudly) lm sorry
Me. For
Francis. All my family and relatives have put u and ur people through
Me. It's not ur fault
Francis . Yes it is coz lm not doing anything to help
Me. ......
Francis. They make u suffer for nothing at all and l just stand there and watch like a coward
Me. There is nothing u can do about that .... they hate me
Francis. That's the problem it's not ur fault ur skin colour is different right Soo why would they punish u for something soooo .......... unreasonable
Me. I....l
Francis. Look at u . U sneak into my room everyday just to read one of my school books , u spend ur day working without any rest and ur too young for that . Just look at the burns on ur skin right now why in the world would someone in their right senses pour hot porridge on someone .
He looked fuming and l could hear the rage that came with his words , he's not wrong though but wat could he possibly do it's not his fault that he's family is heartless .
Francis . How do u feel about u know  whites

Wow this was really getting intense to be honest l feel hatred anger disgust and rage lots of rage

Me. Pity

I didn't even have control of my own mouth
Francis . Pity that's all
Me. Yeah
Francis.why pitty
Me. Because they rely on us to do everything for them without us they would be nothing
Francis. ........
Me . No offence sir
Francis . I....
The phone suddenly rang and l could see the caller ID was written *mum*
Francis . Hey
Caller. .......
Francis. Shez here with me
Caller. ..........
Francis. I need her to help me with something
Caller. ...........
Francis.  Mum l get it but only for today
Caller. ........
Francis. Mum come on u know how to cook
Caller .........

I could see a road block surfacing

Francis. Talk to u later mum lm driving right now byeeeee

He cut the call and put the phone in the cup holder .
Francis . Seat belt on

Oh this was going to be real hard . I took the belt  and tried to buckle it in the little buckler or wat ever it's called🙄and started pressing and pressing till l was buckled
Police officer. Gud afternoon sir
Francis . Afternoon
Police officer. Might l ask were are u going
Francis. Fananble farms
Police officer . Well that's very far
Francis. Yes true so we need to hurry so let's stop wasting time
Police officer. Yeah but we need to search this first

He  waved his stick at my face
Francis. Is that necessary
Police officer. Well that's the rules u can never trust these types of people they are drug dealers or even yet gold smugglers
Francis . Oh Uhm if that's the law
He pressed a button on my seatbelt and it unbuckled
The police officer opened the door and pulled me out real roughly . I put my hands in the air and he started searching my body with his hands . I felt humiliated as tons of whites were staring at me
Francis . Hey would u stop already ur searching is enough okey she's clear now leave her alone
Officer. Fine but if shez a problem u could give her to me

We just drove off  and after some time l couldnt contain my tears and started crying softly
Francis. Hey look stop crying okey
Me. I'm tired l want to sleep

That's all l could say right now

Francis . Okey ( he stopped the car) go sleep at the backseat ull find a blanket there
Me. Thank you sir( in a weak voice)

I opened the door and went into the backseat of the car l saw a small blanket and covered myself layed my head down
and just closed my eyes the seat was Soo much more comfortable than my mat back home and the blanket smelt like fresh flowers . I was already sleepy now

Francis. I'll wake u up when we reach there okey
Me. Yes sir
Francis. Don't call me sir okey
Me. Okey sir. .....I mean just okey
Francis. Now sleep we have a long way ahead of us if we want to get back home by tomorrow

I instantly fell asleep and for a moment forgot all my problems 💭💭
