[Story] Most wanted maid Episode 3

EPISODE 3

The arrival of Sonia gladdened

Angela heart. She was

delighted. Sonia on her own part played not only the

role of

a maid. She felt much

comfortable around her madam; she just took Angela as

her elder sister.

Sonia took charge of the household chores. She took

charge of preparing the

meals. She even offered to

wash the clothes instead of taking them to the dry cleaner.

She was in desperate need for money to support

her

mother’s failing health. She was able to finish her

secondary

school but couldn’t go further to higher institutions because

of lack of finance. So, since then, she has been

looking for

money through any possible

means inorder to keep living and support her mother

who was always sick.

David bumped into Sonia as he

hurried out of his room with

his briefcase. He was getting

late for work.She fell down as

his body brushed her. “Oh.i am sorry. get up, give me

your hand” David reached for

her hand to help get her up

from the ground.

“Good morning sir.I was

actually coming to tell you that your breakfast is ready” She

announced as she got up from the ground.

“I don’t think i can still have

breakfast. I have to attend an

important meeting this

morning and i am running out of time. Where is your

madam?” David was in a hurry.

“She is still sleeping” Sonia replied. She had a way of

talking that made her

outstanding. Talking slowly

and pronouncing every word to the end. David made to Angela’s room to notice her of his

early

leaving because of an

important meeting.

As David drove,he thought

within himself how Sonia handles the house duties as if

she was actually a member of

the family. She was in good

terms with both husband and

wife. Angela had been right

about bringing her in,he thought.

1pm

The door bell rang.Sonia was

the only one at home. Angela

has gone to her shop. David was away in his office.

She wondered who might be at the

door.

“Who is there?”she asked

standing close to the door.

“It’s me o”A voice said from

outside.

“who?”Sonia asked again.

“Soni you can’t recognise my

voice ni?

Sonia smiled and opened the

door.She knew it was Bisi, due

to the way she asked her the last question.

She had told Bisi where she

now lives.

Bisi her dear friend

had no choice than to come

and visit her there since she

knew Sonia was always home alone when her employers leave

for work.

“Soni you are enjoying here o. you are really

enjoying

here” Bisi said.

“That’s what you think. but you are wrong my dear”Sonia

defended herself.

“hmmmm,soni,if i were in your

shoes,i would be very very

happy o”Bisi said as she

glanced around the compound.

“Why do you say so?”Sonia

asked.

Bisi smile and held her friend.

“You are my friend and i won’t

hide anything from you. If i were you, i would get

close to your madam’s husband. you know what i mean” Bisi

rolled

her eyeballs.

“Do you know what you are

saying?”Sonia was calm

though.

“You are very pretty my dear,and that is a great

asset.your mother needs money for her drugs and

we know too well that you are a young woman who

wishes to make money like others. this is your

chance”Bisi said as if she knew exactly what she was

saying.

Sonia was quiet. she was actually thinking about it.

“But be careful to avoid your madam’s suspicions.

She is a woman and will understand every step you

take. I have to go before they meet me here”Bisi

said and left.

Sonia pondered this in her heart.Bisi has been a friend for long.They had suffered together and so share so many things in common,despite the fact that they both hailed from different places.

She remembered Ebere who had called her up to take the job as a maid.Ebere had told her that she will have a discussion with her in four days time and nobody should know about it.She wondered what the kind lady might have for her.

“Bisi my dear friend.you may be right but i haven’t got that kind of heart”she soliloquied as she watched Bisi walk lazily out of the compound
