AFEERAH'S P.O.V
MY life has always been the same.
Everyone controlling, abandoning me, disgracing me.
From the day i was born, my parents hated me.
I had a twin brother but he died after spending 10minutes in this world.
My parents were really poor and my mother never accepted me. She always said I wasn't her daughter and when my dad, the only person who loved me died, she threw me in the foster home and left without a word. That was when i was 6.
I lived in that foster home for ten years. Nobody wanted to adopt me. Nobody liked me because i was too quiet for them.
And just last week, I met Mr Othman Lukman, he was visiting the foster home and he was the first person that actually took interest in me. He talked to me but i was a bit shy, he brought me presents and after two days, i had a warm spot for him.
He then told me one day that he couldn't adopt me but he could offer me a job at his house as a maid.
I accepted because i badly wanted to leave the foster home. He also told me that he had a school and i could start going there since i was young and bright.
You see, since my mum brought me to the foster home, I didn't really socialize so i spent my ten years reading and studying counting the days left before i could be free. I dreamt of going to university because i could leave the foster home when i was eighteen. But Mr Othman just got me a shortcut.
Little did i know.......
Little did i know I'd meet someone who hated me with a burning passion.
Little did i know I'd come across Sahla Othman Lukman. The most devilish person I know.
She embarrasses me, she always makes sure I'm reminded who i am.
Just a stupid maid.
Just an orphan.
Just an unwanted person.
Having to work as her maid is much worse, she always throws insults at me but i have to bear it. After all, there's nothing i can do.
For Sahla has power.
And I'm powerless.
