After minutes of savouring the taste of the food I was done.
"That was nice" I said licking my fingers one by one.
"Am glad you enjoyed it"
"Thank you" I drank the water.
"Why were you trying of committing suicide?" I looked at her with an annoyed look, she just reminded me of how stupid she is stalking a stranger.
"The real question here is why do you keep following me?"
"Me?" She asked pointing at herself. I slapped my hand on my forehead disappointed. "Oh, ok, I find you interesting and fun"
"So you don't have friends?"
"Of course I do"
"Are they making you act crazy or you where born like this"
"Wow, your so rude and I like it" She said smiling widely, how did I end up with her😭??
"Let's make a deal, if you stop stalking and talking to me I will pray for God to send you some sense" I bargain.
"Nice offer, I will think about it but first let's be best friends" I gave her a 'Never happening' look nodding my head sideways."Close friends"
"Whatever" I just want her to talk everything she has to say so that I can disappear from her sight forever that's if it's possible.
"Yes" she said clapping her hands like a child."Secondly, as close friends we need to know everything about each other so you go first"
"Why can't you go first?"
"Cause you already know quarter of me and I haven't known anything about you"
I sighed heavily " Am from the orphanage and I hate my life"
"That wasn't anything, please tell me everything about you. Your life in the orphanage and growing up?, did you have a boyfriend?, Why do you hate your life?" She asked so many questions about me. I would really love to tell her everything about me so that she stops disturbing me but she's a total stranger and she behaves strange.
"My life In the orphanage was normal, yes I had a boyfriend........" Should I tell her?, Just thinking about him makes a tear fall down from her eyes. I truly miss him.
"Don't cry darling, am here for you" She said putting her hand on top my hand.
"Am not crying, it's hot in here I need fresh air" I said standing up.
"No" she said standing up too."I'm not going to let you out of my side again" she said seriously. She dragged her chair putting it beside my chair and sitting. I sat back on my chair accepting defeat from this crazy lady.
"Let's strike another deal, if you tell me everything about you I promise to leave you alone"
"You promise?"
"Yes" she said firmly.
"Okay" I breathed In and out. Everything I told you is partially true.
"It was obvious, you wanted to get rid of me" she chuckled.
"And I still want to. Am an orphan my mum died through child delivery, my father died as a result of stroke. I had a stepmom and sisters who always maltreated me. My life became horrible with them, they would beat me, injure me, sometimes starve me, basically they just loved inflicting pain on me. The truth is that I always got scholarship in all the schools I ever went to, my stepmom would just form a lie so that I don't feel happy about passing the exams to get the scholarship then she changes my school. I went to a new school where I found the love of my life he's name is Antonio we dated for a while until my stepmom threw me out of the house and we couldn't talk or meet. Even my best friend Sofia I haven't seen her for a year now and I miss her so much" I said as so much tears streamed down my cheeks.
"Am sorry about that" she said hugging me.
"Sometimes I wish that when my stepmom sent me out of the house I should have gone to stay with Antonio cause now my life is a mess and my loved ones- Sofia and Antonio are in so much pain because of me"
"Stop trying to think, regretting what you did in the past just focus on planning your future"
"But it's so hard" I cried more." I miss him so much even Sylvia. I still love💖 him"
"I understand you can't do this alone that's why am here" I looked up at her face she was crying a little I rested my head on her shoulder. She looks reasonable for once, her eyes were showing trustworthy.
"That's not all. Even after that it was as if the world wanted to punish me that it sent me to met a terrible woman- Mrs. Smith.
I tried committing suicide it didn't go well and i was saved my a woman.She was nice, calm, beautiful and caring. She treated me like I was her only child spoiling me with whatever I asked but I didn't know that that was her plan. She wanted me to look good and sexy for a man, am sure her plan was initially to sell me off to the man.
She set me up with the man in a hotel he tried rapping me but I escaped. When I got home to tell Mrs.Smith she answered me like I was sex toy, she made me feel low of myself, it turns out the man was in the house and he tried rapping me again he only succeeded in kissing me before I gave some attacks and I was free, I ran and ran till I reached the back of the restaurant you found me in.
I felt betrayed and confused, After trusting someone with your whole life is that how they forsake you and forget you. I don't like remembering about this particular event it makes me feel guilty"
