The Next Tomorrow

Just Before The Storm

Mara's Pov.

" I'm not saying you are a thief, Devi. I just want to know why you would transfer two hundred thousand Ghana cedis into an account I don't know about!" I snapped.  "Don't shout at me Mara, you know very well that you permitted me to spend and use all the money I wanted. I did just that." She retorted, pushing her hair back. Myy sources told me that it cost two thousand plus . I wanted her to spend to that extent but not to two hundred thousand!, it was too huge. I huffed a frustrated breath. " I want you to transfer that money back with immediate effect." I said with a calm expression walking back to my seat behind the desk, the only noise being my heels clicking on the tiles.
Waw
I sat down and started off with the paper work. After some few moments,  I looked up to see Devi looking straight at me with a weird look. " What's wrong Devi?" I asked confused and worried.  " Nothing,  I'll send the money by noon" She said, picking up her gucci bag and waltzing off.
I gave out a sigh and continued.  I hope this doesn't change anything between us.

I walked tiredly into the house. It was quiet, Aunt Claire called to tell me she'd be leaving with Stella to some family members to settle an issue. She was acting strange but I was too busy to ask further questions and I guess Delvis was not back from his exploration. He was now into photography and would go out to take pictures.  I actually expected him to ask for a job at Cann's but he didn't. People said he was lazy, but I think he had enough of working when he was a gardener. He told me he had been working for three years to feed his sister. His sister that I've only seen her pictures. He wouldn't agree to I meeting her. I was devastated for weeks about that issue. The fact that I didn't know anything deep about him and he was so secretive. I used to go to Devi to ask if she knew anything.  She'd just sack me saying she was tired or busy, adding up that why don't I ask him myself. I let it go when the company work set in. I walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. I took off my shoes and gave out a breath.  I was hungry and tired. But Claire was not around to cook and I wanted none of the foods in the fridge. I laid down quietly watching the roof.
That's when I heard it. It was loud and clear. I guess the thinking took my mind far. There were groans and moans being heard in my house. No one was supposed to be in by now.  I got up and rushed quietly to the kitchen and took a knife, walking towards the sounds, my heart pounding at the possibility of who they might be. I walked quietly up the stairs. They were up...the sounds got louder as I went closer. It was from my room. Which people could be in my room, f*cking themselves. I opened slowly to find out it was not locked. I opened wider to see Mt best friend bent down on all fours and my boyfriend pounding from behind. The knife dropped from my hands as shock run through my body.  "What the?!" I whisper-shouted. Delvis stopped and looked up. He gasped and got off the bed covering up. "Mara, I'm sorry. It's a mistake . It not what you think. Let me explain " He rattled out. I looked at him as if he had ten heads but quickly turned to Devi when I heard small moans from her. She was touching herself. She didn't care. I scrunched up my face in disgust. "Mara, Mara!" Delvis kept calling to me when I walked closer to Devi. She was done and had gotten up to wear her underwear. I went closer and slapped her. She gasped and looked at me with something I've never seen on her before.  With rage, hatred and disgust. I didn't cower in fear. I stood my grounds. "You b*tch, I didn't ask your dear boyfriend to come to me. We were eating when he leaned down and kissed me. Why can't I have a little fun. " She shouted. I slapped her again with anger. She held my hands when I was sending it down to it's position. " I won't accept for you to treat me like  a rag. Move aside!" She shouted again. As she left, she blew a kiss to Delvis. Frustrated,  I rushed to her again for a beating of her life, just like that, Devi bent down so quick and picked up the knife I brought. The pain shot through my whole body. Delvis screamed and Devi just smirked before I fell, everything falling black. Whoosh!, ...tiny stuff poured on me. I woke up to see petals flowing from the ceiling with soft music playing...
