Yet another sleepless night
How long do I have to deal with this bags under my eyelids and this weight on my shoulder.. And this thud in my chest
Last night.. Everything took a different coarse.. Instead of playing the victim. Have decided to switch cards and be the devil
I'm not going to act naive and innocent.. I'll let him think we are the same.
I know it's not a safe idea but at this point I dont want to play safe.. I want to be in his face and in his mind at all times so maybe I can Drive him nuts just the same way he drove me crazy
I was still thinking wild when I got a call from Julie asking me to pay her a visit
I had nothing better to do anyways... So I got up, freshen up and head to her house
When I got into their main living room.. Someone was watching TV.. I moved closer to the person and she looked so much like Julie
The major different was that this person looks plumby and shorter. I swear I would have mistaken her for Julie if I didn't look well enough
"Heyyy.. There you are girlfriend "
The real Julie was climbing the stairs all dressed up
"Ohh hi Julie... I thought you were the one sitting here "
"Really.... No.... This is my mom... Mom this is my friend Genesis "
"Ohh nice to meet you ma'am "
We exchanged pleasantries and air kisses
"Wow... Your daughter looks so much Like you "
"I know right "
"And so young and full of life... Wow.. You'd easily pass as sisters "
We laughed and chatted on as the door opened and julie's girls walked
"Grandma.... "
They hugged her and I just watch the family do their thing
Julie's girls are absolute adorable.. This is actually the first time I'm seeing them and they are so lovely
I smiled and watch them
A wave of reality swept pass me and I realized
This could have been Me
With my family.. My daughters, my mother in my home
I could have been this happy and filled with Joy
Why am I so unlucky, with no family, no mother, no home
Even after all this years... Am still alone.... I have no one.
Its sucks to be Me
With no future... No child to hold onto,all I ever wanted is staring right back at me in the face but I can't have it...... I could never have it because that bastard took it away from me
Maybe if he had given me this... I wouldn't be complaining.. I would be more than happy
I dont even know what my mother looks like,does she look like me.... does she talk like me or smile like I do
It is unfortunate that even as I'm rewriting my own story.. My past still takes a tour at me every now and then
I can never be happy
"Genesis.... Genesis, Are you OK"
I jogged out of my thoughts and everyone was staring at me.. With Julie's hand on my shoulder and I didn't notice. I must have been so lost in my thoughts
"Yeah... Yes, am fine '
"You're sure .. You completely zoned out just now "
"Dont mind me... Ohh your kids are so lovely "
"Ohh thanks.... Jenny, precious.... Come say hello to Aunt "
"Hello Aunty "
"Hey sweeties... "
I held their tiny hands in mine and fight to hold my tears back
"Alright babies go get ready. We're leaving soon.... Joyce please wear them the clothes that I just bought "
The maid nodded and led them outside the house since their flat is at the other entrance of the house
Why would I have such adorable kids and isolate myself from them..
That's just insane
"Mom... Go get ready too"
She followed in the same direction as the kids... Am guessing she is not allowed in here too
"Oh Genesis.... How are you "
"Am splendid... Wonderful family you have here "
"Ohh thank you..... We are actually on our way to some orphanage homes to drop off some food items.. Would you like to come with "
"Is it for the campaign too"
"Yeah.... Did I tell you I fired the other campaign manager.... That lady was totally useless, she thinks of nothing other than seducing my Husband.. This new manager.. Mr Fagbon is actually very efficient.. He knows just the kind of things that people want to see.. He suggested this and it totally worth it "
"Really he is that good "
"Very good... How else do you think I dealt with that Victoria issue.... He wiped it out in a matter of days. Am really glad I hired him, as we speak he is currently at the first orphanage home we are heading to putting everything in place. All I just need to do is show up there with my family "
"What about Philip "
"What about him... "
"Is he not suppose to be here doing all this things for his own campaign "
"Philip is a busy man..... He doesn't have time for this.. Infact he just got back from the states yesterday... My dear you won't believe what happened yesterday...... I went shopping with my mom and I sent Godwin on an errand to go with the manager to get the supplies we needed for today's outing. I completely forgot that Philip was flying in last night and I didn't send anyone to pick him up.... He came back on his own late last night with his luggage.... I was beyond terrified. I thought.. No I expected him to be really mad but somehow miraculously.. He was in a very good mood... He just had his dinner and went straight to bed.... I never imagined he would take it like that and in the process of running around I left my phone at home so I couldn't get any of his calls.... I dont know the angel that he encountered on his way home but that definitely was a lifesaver "
I smiled.... A lifesaver indeed
. we left for the orphanage home with her family.... The first one was a big orphanage home... With quite a large number of yet another generation of motherless kids
They gave them foodstuffs and gift parcel for every child....
Jenny and precious were the ones handing over the gifts to the other less fortunate children and lots of pictures were taking
Julie and her MOM carried the smaller children for the pictures
You would be amazed that even a day old child is already an orphan
We wrapped up quickly because apparently we had Three more places to visit today
The car pulled into a bungalow building and I jumped at the familiar structure... I glared at the signage and read the name aloud
Spring Foster care .....
Its still here
I hopped down from the car, and looked around... although certain things looked different, but I recognize the building...
I stayed here for about a year and our routine was the same everyday. So its impossible to forget the same thing you kept doing everyday especially when it holds certain memories
The one that baffled me most was the night I came back here thinking that I had escape from that evil man only for me to end up back in that hellhole
What happened that night. I need to find out
But first I need to find Mrs Lawrence
