Half of me

Chapter 1

The atmosphere was deem and dull. As at 7:00 am in the morning, the clouds were still hovering around the skies. The nature of the atmosphere made me think of rounding off the day and skipping work. After all who cares about Fridays. Still laying on my bed,I thought of how my day was going to be without work. At least a twenty-four years old dentist could send her launderretes to the wash bay, undertake some general cleaning, call her mommy and daddy before cooking some of her favourite mouthwatering delicacies to celebrate a day off. My cell phone rang from where it was,on the center table and interrupted my thoughts. Feeling reluctant to stand, I lazily dragged my feet and managed to reach out to the phone............ Guess who? Mr. Ansah!
As if I knew, he distorted everything I planned on my day's schedule. He has booked an appointment with me for his dental check up before he leaves abroad.
Mr. Ansah being a rich old boy, he gives me little tips to serve as an allurement to rendering a professional service. Of course who would like to miss the tip together with the treats. Despite the fact that I would have to abort my plan, the sense of supplementary cash impregnated zeal into my spines. I hurriedly carried myself to my bathroom and lazily showered. The appointment being an abrupt one called for me skipping my breakfast . Well it nothing new to me, because I was on an acclaimed diet course.
Being in my little room alone, I walked nakedly from the bathing area to my room, just to hear noise of quarrel from the outside. It was just obvious, it's Afriyie and her"two by four"  husband again.Still naked I gossipy peeped through my luvre blades to have a view at the still casting scene. Huh my guess was right. Last time it was about theft , today Afriyie is accusing her husband for meeting another woman in bed before coming home, owing to her husband's early ejaculation that night. Ah! This century wives and their soso matters,I'd better remained a spinster than turning into an old lady at twenty four. Let me start leaving before Afriyie finds me peeping at her and descends her angers on me.
Blue or Ash? ......... "Lemme take blue". I wore the blue straight dress maame got me last year, it wasn't crumbled at all so I don't have to iron it.
I felt the pain of terminating my day's schedule when it was time for me to leave. As I turned off the Television sett which was live telecasting one of my favorite TV show,hosted by Mr. Ephraim Ellie one of Ghana's ed veteran Presenter. I started my day very holy with the Rhapsody of reality chapter my friend Hupkorti Desmond sent me . Life so unfair,how can that boy(Desmond) who used to womanize a lot become a pastor........ Hallelujah by the way.
Compound house , it's individuals and their related matters are just a. As I locked my door to leave,those three ladies of my age or maybe older and currently jobless gathered around their entrance which is probably two doors from mine,sat there and shared giggles among themselves. I realized they where staring hysterically at me . Well, what's a mistake on me,for all I know and care is,Lorrita Agyeman is a beautiful woman. Yes I can boast of photocopying maame's killer curves ,and  as for the back goods I robbed it . Brown skin like caramel,cute lips , mesmerizing hazel eyes and an innocent acne free face .....
Today being Friday, the road was going to be busy of countryside travellers. So I decided to board a public transport instead of using the Honda Accord a client gave me last year as a Birthday gift.
After forty minutes of standing under the hot scorching sun, the edges I had carefully laid started to follow the snake movement of my sweat. "Who would ever wonder that it would shine this much?"
I stood beside the road for an extra ten minutes before a car drove past me and reversed. It was Dennis, one of my high school mates. Before he could offer me a ride,I was already seated at the front seat of his Toyota RAV4,directing to my work side "Eii Lorrita "he teased. According to him, he came to drop his little"princess" at Prelex Montessori School, besides it was her first time in school so you can imagine the stress .Hmmm Dennis that used to annoy me back then in school,seems to be caring now. No wonder his taking his daughter to an expensive school like Prelex Montessori. He dropped at my hospital's junction and we exchanged contacts. In addition to the lift, he gave an extra Gh¢50.00 and some chocolate produced in his factor's company. Dennis is now the head manager of the sticky tongue chocolate company. Before I entered the reception of Danx hospital, I went through my phone to find a suitable memory verse to continue my day. I laid hands on psalm 145:3. After a short prayer, I was good to go. I walked few meters before finally getting to the dental clinic at Danx. Mr. Ansah was waiting there before I walked in. "I'm very sorry for the delay" I apologized. After we exchanged pleasantries,we got to work. He usually does check up on general oral matters, so in no time we were done. Mr. Ansah and I had that"daughter - father" relationship,so his presence was great to me. After the one hour, thirty minutes appointment,he offered a huge sum of GH¢1500 and a breakfast with him. I joined him dine at Monera hills Restaurant,a five star eatery in the same vicinity with Danx. I had a great treat of milky fruit oat with toasted bread and omelette , spiral sliced ham and fruit juice."oh yes.i ate it all"..........
Coming to think of it, I have known Mr. Ansah for yes now, yet still I don't know the occupation of this 65 years old man. Mind you he is strong and speaks elequent English. I was very shy to ask him his occupation,so I remained silent and completed my given task"the food".
As I ate ,I caught a gentle man staring at me hysterically from two eating tables behind. In my next glance I took at him , I caught him obliging at me. It pissed me off ,so I stood and left the hall instantly.
As I left the hall, he followed me,he got ways and met ma at the reception. He waved at me and I feigned a smile. At instance the gentleman offered me cocktail. I took a critical stare at the little man in front of me."sure..." I accepted it. "He might have an annoying character" I guessed. From his introduction,I learnt that he was called Fredrick . His Dad owned a Hospital in Tema and so many other things that he said......... He spoke for a long while,of which I barely listened. I took his contact and left immediately my drink got finished.
