I got home and found my mum and sister outside crying..

” what is wrong “. I asked

Just then I noticed our loads were outside, I sat down on the ground and started crying…..

” when will all this suffering end?”. I asked myself.

I stood up and ran to the landlord house, he lives a stone throw from our rented apartment.

I went on my knees as soon as I saw him,

” please sir, give us a month, I will pay you the rent”. I pleaded

He looked at me and smirked

“Next month?, I can bet my life you won’t be able to pay even if I give you a year”. He said

I bent my head in shame, he was kind of right, even if I was able to gather the money from my odd jobs, other expenses will arise.

” please sir “. He pleaded

He walked towards me and bent down

” Sofia , you are a beautiful girl”. He said caressing my face”.

I stared at him speechless

” if you agree to date me, I will make sure you and your family are comfortable “. He said

” sir, I am still a little girl “. I said

He looked at me assessing me

” stop saying that, with this your great body you will make any man fall”.he remarked smiling

He leaned towards me and was about to kiss me when I gave him a slap

” what”. He screamed shrieking in rage

He gave me a thunderous slap and I winced in pain. I stood up in anger

” go to hell”. I cursed

He scoffed

” you , your demented sister and your crippled mother should get the hell out of my house”. He thundered

I ran off with tears pouring down my eyes….

I got to the house and my mum was talking to a neighbour. She was beaming happily

“Sofia”.come here, she called as soon as she saw me

I walked towards her and greeted the woman

“Mrs Anna has agreed to allow us stay in her farm house for a while “. She said smiling

I turned toward the woman

“Thank you ma”. I greeted

” it is alright dear”. She patted me and left….

We soon settled in the farmhouse and arranged the little stuff we had. We really did a lot of cleaning because the room was littered with chicken dumplings….

I went outside to sit after dinner, I was staring at the sky listening to Shayne’s music. My little sister came to join me

” Sophia “. She called

I looked at her

” I don’t like this place “. She complained

I smiled

” don’t worry, all will be alright “. I said

“When?”. She asked

” very soon”. I said

Very very soon…………

I am really feeling for Sophia , I pray all will be well with her.
