I am fed up! I am fed up!! Zara, you can't continue to live here, ever since you stepped to this house, it has been struggle upon struggle, what happened, am I the one that killed your parent? Mrs. Hadiza yelled.

Aunty please, please aunty, (sobs).. Zara cried as she plead, aunty please, aunty. She wailed.

____

So that is the only thing you will have to do here and if you can agree with it, then you are most welcome to stay with us- Madam kojo announced. Boys well done!, ... She's ripe and agile. She added.

(Shaking and stammering) Yes... I..i...

Hey, hello young lady, that is not allowed here, you have to be bold to do this and if you can't do it, speak up or never.. Madam kojo interrupted curiously.

If I say no, then I am done for, where else can I find an accommodation and when? I'm here already. Zara soliloquy. I will do it ma. She announced.

You've never had a choice!... Lead her in and change her clothes, we will have to teach her on how to attend to customers. Madam kojo ordered ajarat.

Zara, in this place, it is very rare to go out and before that gate can be opened for anyone to go, ... Is only when madam kojo send you out or you quit and it is also not easy to quit. Ajarat explained.

But why can't I go out and why can't I stop anytime I want? Zara asked.

(Chuckled)... Zara, police always look for us... Police don't desist from chasing and arresting us if the opportunity comes up. Ajarat paused.

(Shocked)... Why is police after us? Zara asked further.

Prostitution is illegal and also an abomination in Nigeria! so that is why we can't go out and in conclusion, it is not easy to stop because... It might attract danger especially when the person that quitted is a loosed-mouth or recognised by the police, then we all may be in trouble, all we need are provided by madam kojo. Ajarat monologued.

(Exclaimed)... What if someone among us falls sick or got pregnant? Zara asked again.

[Footsteps coming from the veranda, sounding as if a ditch of two moving towards the room].
Shush! ... When you are sick or pregnant... You will know if it's possible to go out! Ajarat muzzle.

Ajarat, why are you taking so long, the new girl needs to get out quick so we can begin some tutorials. Vivian disclosed.

Y-yes! Zara you have to come along... The tutorial need to start soon. Ajarat echoed.

She is the lady coordinator, she walks all around with pride... And don't be surprised if she mush at you... she's always hot-tempered. Ajarat murmured.

____

So... Any question on all you've been taught? Madam kojo enquired.

'Zara was lost in deep thought and didn't hear all what she was being told and even now, no response' How will I cope here, I hope I haven't taken the worse decision? But if I didn't take this, how can I ever get a shelter... Even though it sounded like a force and obviously kidnap. Zara keeps thinking..

(Irritated).. What is all these?... Where has she gone? She couldn't give any response! Madam kojo mush.
