"Tutu tutu tutu" the sounds continued endlessly it was mixed with thrilling laughs,the drum table by the table was endlessly producing loud sounds an indication that a ghost was in the room since no one lived with me.

(i was just a young girl straight from college trying to start my life.)

I was so scared but braved myself knowing that i was from a supersticious continent hence i had to protect myself in my own way from my enemies.

Wat a short night i thought as i was woken up by the bright light beaming through my window aaah! It was time to go for work,damn i had to get up and get ready.

My clothes were perfectly ironed and clinged on perfectly and my make-up was just right and my high heels completed my attire.

I rushed to the bus stop to catch a matatu (meaning sort of a bus.) so that i could get to work on time.

On reaching i found my cousin who was my manager and i was next in command waiting impatiently for me so as i could design the end year attire for her to the companys' party.

(she was such a show off,but i still loved her.)

she went into detail how it was to be made and prompted me to design it perfectly.

Just as i took a step from the door where we were standing a car slammed into the wall just beside me bumping in to the wall.shivers went through my spine and made me quiver like i had malaria or like a lethal injection was taking charge of my system paralysing me,i went into shock.

My last night scare came back vivdly to me and i now strongly believe that someone was out to get me for i was succeeding quickly.I had to take drastic measures and that i went to do.

Being given a home asignment considering we couldn't work at the office anyhow due to the damage,i sneaked from my root and went to a soothsayer determined to know who was tampering with my fate and how to deal with it.

From the house i heard a voice welcoming me "karibu sana" (meanin you are very welcome.)

I couldn't believe his accuracy to know that i was there yet i hadn't knocked.I had questions lingering in my mind and was torn between entering or leaving.

Curiosity took the better of me and i decided to get in to know the truth.

"hahahaha" the sayer laughed looking at me indifferently and said i was making a mountain out of a mole hill,this meant i was making it seem like a big issue but was not.

I was told on the dos and don'ts on my part and i reluctly agreed.On of the conditions was never to talk to my enemies in the morning so as to avoid bad omen to me.

I hurriedly rushed to a fabrics shop to pick my cousins material and i got the most suitable design.

The sayer had described one of my enemies and my cousin fit the description or was it? I din't know what to think anymore,but what was for sure was that i had to be keen and trust ONLY MYSELF.

Yeah!that was settled for now, i hard to architect my bright future which was beckoning at me.

Oh i got home tired but felt i had accomplished a whole weeks work in a day.
