I left in a hurry saying to myself.."How could this be, I never thought that the ritual is this quick in providing results. Brother Abel was holding my luck all this while and he'll be very excited when he comes back"
I wore my old church dress which I consider the most beautiful and left with sister Isabella. In her car, I felt so happy and envious. I afmired the way she was driving and gave myself hope that I'll soon be like her.
When we reached in the city.. the buildings, people, smell and movements pulled my mind away. I was more than happy and my heart felt like it was going to pop out."Hello Magreth, I'm coming to your shop.." Sis Bella was on the phone
We went to the shop which sister Isabella introduced me the owner named Magreth..
"Hi Magreth" Bella said
"Hey Bella, how have you been dear.. it has been long since I last saw you" She replied
"I'm so fine, this is my young sister Oliva.. I came to do some shopping for her.." she said
"Okay, please go on.." said Magreth
Sister Isabella took my hand and started pointing out nice city clothes and shoes. I really felt like I was being born again because it was something I never expected. She finished the shopping and took me to a salon to have my hair and nails properly done. I put on new clothes and I was finally adopted into a city girl. All these happened while all my thoughts were still pointed at how excited brother Abel will feel when he sees me.
"Oliva, are you hungry?" She asked
"Yes, haha" I answered
"I'm hungry as well, lets go and grab something to eat" she said
We went to a very classy restaurant and she ordered a very nice food which by then I didn't know the name. I ate and enjoyed a lot. In the middle of eating, sister Isabella's phone ringed, so she left and went to answer the call at a distance. I remained at the table eating and suddenly I saw a man passing by my table but unfortunately dropped his wallet.
"Oh! How could he be so careless.." I said to myself, picked the wallet and ran to him
"Sir!" I called
"Yes.." He replied. By appearance, he was an aged man in his late 50's or early 60's and seemed to be very rich
"Sorry, you dropped this" I gave him the wallet
"Oh! Thank you so much, this wallet has so many important stuffs that I would never ever get again.." he was excited
"Oh.." I smiled, "Okay sir, I'll be taking my leave now.."
"Wait.. what is your name beautiful young girl, I'm really impressed by you since it is very rare to find innocent city girls like you" he said
"I am Oliva sir.." I said
"Olivaaa!!" Sister Isabella called me
"Sir, I'm leaving, my sister is calling me" I told him
"Oh! wait please, just a minute.." He searched his wallet.. "here, take this money and this is my business card, please let me know anytime you need help.."
Oh my God!!.. He gave me dollars, for the first time in my life I touched dollars..a lot of dollars
"Sir! Thank you so much, I'll let you know anytime I need help" I said and ran back to the restaurant.."people really have money.. I can't believe this"
"Who was that man?" Sis Bella yelled
"I have no idea, he dropped his wallet and I ran to give it to him.. that's all" I answered politely
"Oh! So he even gave you money?" She asked
"Ah! Yes.. I think he was just being thankful, nothing major" I assured
"Ooh! You are very lucky, but dear.. make sure that next time you mind your own business, this is the city and not everyone is human. Don't be so nice to just anyone and trust me, men in the city are very evil" she warned
"Okay sis" I said calmly
We sat and ate our food and finally started the journey going back home...
