MRS HARUN POV
I had just returned back from that cook's quarter, my husband had to rush to the office for a short and urgent meeting . I am currently sitting in my room, just trying to plot a plan against that cook and her daughter, No I can't let them and my husband get that close, that cook can't use her bad luck to kill my husband like the way she killed her husband, I have to get rid of them immediately. I thought to my self and shook my head to figure out how to get rid of them... I sat down on the chair by the wall, then stood up to pace around in my room for a while.
It finally clicked, " Yes! " I gushed out loud out loud in the process, I have finally come out with a plan,.. I bolted out from my room, going into the sitting room and called out one of my most trusted maid servant, she is my right hand maid, within few seconds she comes running up to me.
"Yes madam you called for me? " Hibti say to me.
"Come with me to my room now " I say to her and turned to walk towards the stairs as i made my way back up to my room and she quietly followed behind.
We entered my room and I I twisted the door knob locking it from the inside
" Okay so this is why I called you " I said to her as i approached my dresser and pulled out the top drawer to get my jewelry box out and pushed the drawer back close.
I turned and walked towards my sofa at the center of my room then sat down, I gestured for her to come sit by me by tapping my hand on the sofa, I then placed my jewellery box on the table beside me then removed one of my most expensive golden necklace from Paris, it's really costly, my husband gifted it to me on my birthday last year.
"Take this... It's really nice right? " I say to her as i place the necklace on her lap .
" Oh Goodness madam, why are you giving me such an expensive gift? " the look of shock and confusion is evidence on her face, i almost laughed out loud but had to compose my self because I mean serious business..
"Well am not gifting it to you, actually I want you to use it for a job today, in fact after an done instructing you about what you have to do because I noticed that cook and her daughter are currently in the kitchen. ".
" Hmm OK, madam, but please what does the cook and her daughter has to do with this, if I may ask? ". Hibti further inquired.
" Okay, here is what you have to do... Simply take this necklace to their quarter and place it in the wardrobe of Mrs Abdullah and yes... You better be discreet about this, this is forever between you and I, therefore no one has to know of this okay? " Hibti looked bewildered and quite scared for a moment but briefly nodded her head in agreement.
" That's my girl...i will give you the spare key to their quarter... And please make sure no one notices you going in there " I cautioned her with a smile on my lips because I am this close to accomplishing my goal.
" Okay madam" Hibti replied back to me.
" Now go" I instructed her.. She quickly stood up then paced out of my room after unlocking the door ones again and gently slamming it shut behind her.
Ten minutes later I heard a knock on the door, that could be Hibti... I quickly stood up from my bed and went for the door then unlocked it for Hibti to come in.
"Am done madam, I did as you instructed me to " Hibti confirms to me after walking in
"Good, remember this is between you and I okay" I further cautioned her.
"Yes madam i understand " Now go I finally say to her and she left.
I stayed in my room for a while before stepping out, I slowly descended down the stairs into the sitting room, crying out loud
"Someone has stolen my Golden necklace, I want all the maids here this instant!!".
Within few minutes almost all of them came rushing towards me frantically including the cook and her daughter. God this girl is so beautiful and I hate it.
" Who among you have stolen any necklace, you better own up now before you get yourself into more trouble " I deadpanned angrily .
"I swear madam, I didn't take it, i haven't seen it before let alone take it " one of the maids say to me full of fear in her eyes
"me either, madam, me too " Almost all of them said in turns.
" I swear to Allah madam my daughter and I have never been into your room before talk less of stealing anything from there, besides our job is only in the kitchen " The cook proclaims to me on behalf of she and her daughter, fear evidence in her eyes as she spoke, but they don't know what is coming to them.
" Oh please you all should just shut your dirty lying mouths, you can all swear for all i care but I am not believing a single word you all say until I investigate it thoroughly... I will search each and every one's room till I find it. ".
" Okay madam, as you wish " this is the cook speaking again. At this moment I see my husband walking through the main entrance from the sitting room, I am wondering why he has come back home, it's still early. But I guess it all add up to making this game more interesting I thought to my self.
"What is going on here? " my husband questions with the look of surprise and confusion on his face.
"Honey, you won't believe what just happened, someone broke into our room and stole my golden necklace, remember the one you bought from Paris for me, you gifted it to me on my birthday, last year , ...my favorite for that matter. Now it's gone and I don't know who stole it ". I narrated to him, full of fake tears after I rushed to him, holding him by his hand.
I couldn't stop crying, well I had to.
"What!!!... This is unprecedented, a thief in my house and into my room... I won't spare the person who has committed such a heinous crime after we have found out " my husband roared, full of anger. This is exactly what I wanted ,now the game is getting more intriguing, very good.
"Yes hon, I was just about to begin searching through out each of their rooms, starting from Sulley 's " I say to my husband full of despair.
"Good I will accompany you, let's begin the search " He further said to me and the rest of the immediate servants that has gathered around us.
We all matched straight to the servants quarters then went into Sulley 's room, we rummaged through his belongings and almost turn his room upside down, of course we didn't find anything. We then proceeded to another servant's room and also searched thourouly in her room, but obviously we didn't find anything either ... We went to five other servants rooms before we all now decided it is the cook's turn to be searched.
