ANGELINA Episode 8 By Adelaide Asaf (Daisy Cartel)

” Your house? ”. I couldn’t believe my ears heard that,such a small girl owed that house.
” Yes…my house. Can you leave? I need to enter, it’s a remote control gate so leave my entrance ”. She said and turned back to leave.
” Madam! Please, am so hungry,can I have something to eat? ”.
” What? ”. She said and turned back to me.
” Please,I beg you,am homeless and an orphan ”.
” Whose child is that? ”
” It’s a long story…please ”.
” Hmmmmmm…”. She said that cunningly. ” Enter the car…enter into my car with me ”.
I didn’t care who she was,if she takes me for rituals and killed me,I didn’t care. I wa stored of life as it was. I slowly walked by the side of her car and opened the gate to the backseat and sat there quietly. She entered and blew the car horn and her house gate,opened by itself. It was amazing and I was surprised. She drive into the magical compound and the gate close and locked itself up.
We both got down and she ushers me into her hall with my dirty self. I was surprised, who was this girl really? She leaded me into the dinning hall and !ade me to sit. My baby was already asleep in hunger. But I had to get strength to breastfeed her. She looked around and saw that no one was in the room. Then she went closer to a certain door and switched on the lights in the hall. I really had no time to notice the hall because I was feeling hungry and sleepy.

” What would you eat? ”. She asked with a smile.
” Rice please. Or if there’s anything else,give me and I will eat ”. I replied in a hurry.
Lady Nash as she said her name was,clapped her hands three times and a woman like my Aunty’s size came running from my left side from a certain and arrived at our side.
” Welcome madam! ”. The woman stammered.
” Where you sleeping?! ”. Lady Nash asked harshly.
” No madam ”.
” Better. What food did you cook today? ”. Lady Nash asked.
” Rice and cabbage stew madam ”. She replied.
” Go and bring some for the girl. And also,add some fruit juice! ”.
” Okay madam! ”. She said and raced off to the kitchen.
Lady Nash sat down on my opposite, starring at me with wonder.
” Is that a new born you’re holding? ”.
” Yes madam! ”
” Call me Lady Nash ”. She said in a clam tone. ” What was your name again? ”.
” Angelina… Angelina Jordan ”.
” Interesting. The baby will get anemia if you don’t cover her body. She’s too weak and tiny.
The woman quickly brought the food and fruit juice and I was in wonder,the last time I saw this kind of food was when my parents were alive.
” Comfort! ” Lady Nash shouted.
” Yes madam! ”. The woman replied.
” Take the baby,and clean her fresh and dry…then cover her body with white sheets and bring her back to the girl..now! ”.
” Okay madam ”.
I didn’t hesitate to give the baby to her. She left with her and I quickly tacked into the food. Gosh… How delicious! This was tasty. I sipped the juice and ate more. The checked was delicious!. I turned into flash. I didn’t spend five minutes on that food. It was quickly don’t with. And I drunk the whole juice and licked my lips on top.
After this meal,Comfort brought back the baby,and she was smelling really good now. I carried her in my arms and smiled at Lady Nash.
” Thank you abundantly Lady Nash. I will never forget this gesture ”.
” Do you have anywhere to go tonight? ”. She asked.
” No..I have no one to go to. I will just walk around the streets ”.
” I will let you sleep over tonight. I’m very tired. I had a long day. So I will let you sleep,then tomorrow morning, we can continue our conversation ”. She said and stood up.
” Thank you so much ma! I can’t thank you enough,you have fed me,and now you’re going to give me some place to sleep,thank you so much! ”. I said in tears.
” It’s okay. Comfort! ”
” Yes madam ”.
” Take her upstairs and show her to one of the guest rooms. And come back then clean this table ”. She said and walked upstairs into her room.
” Let go young lady ”. Comfort said,as she ushered me up the stairs and walked me on the walk way to the rooms,I saw so many doors, quite beautiful, we reached in front of one of the doors and she opened it and let me in.
Oh my word!!! This room is amazing! Only this guest room is much more beautiful than my parents mansion put together. There was everything I needed in there. The bed was massively big and beautiful blue bedsheet was made on it with two pillows. I entered,holding my baby.
” Okay young lady ”….
” Call me Angelina, please ma ”. I said with a smile and she smiled back.
” This your room now Angelina. The bath hour is at your left. There’s soap and newly made sponge there with a clean towel. You can clean yourself there. Give me a minute,I will go downstairs and bring you some new clothes to wear for the night from the store room,okay? Just feel at home,I will be back ”. Comfort said,she closed the door and left.
I couldn’t stop looking around this pink room. The air condition, the flat screened television, the little fridge and woolen mat besides the bed. Everywhere was brighting. I layed my baby on the bed and quickly went into the bath house and took a cold shower. The water washed away all my sorrows and tiredness.
I came into the room and saw the new clothes Comfort had layed on the bed. I selected and wore one for the night. I was feeling like me again. I was feeling like Angelina again. I hadn’t had a good night sleep in a very long time. I slept besides my daughter and sleep quickly came for me.
(Next Day).
I heard someone tapping my tights. I opened my eyes and it was Comfort wearing an apron with a smile.
” Good morning Angelina ”.
” Good morning Comfort ”.
” I hope you slept well ”.
” Yes I really did ”. I said and slowly sat up.
” Well,break fast has being served,so Lady Nash wants you downstairs right now ”.
” Really? Oh then let me bath…..”
” Mo no…just go downstairs first ”. Comfort suggested. ” Wow,so you are this beautiful,aww..
.and you looked like beast last night ”.
I laughed silently and stood up on my feet then looked back at my baby.
” I will be back,Katherine ”. I said.
” Don’t worry,I will take care of her, I will give her some baby food here for now ”.
I named my baby Katherine. After my late mother. I walked down the stairs and got to the dinning hall and sat opposite Lady Nash like last night.
” Good morning ”. She siad while eating her toasted bread with braised eggs and white coffee.
” Good morning ”.
” How was your night? ”.
” Amazing. I haven’t slept like that like,almost a year ago,thank you ”.
” Serve yourself please Angelina, don’t be shy okay? ”. She said and sipped her coffee.
I took the jag of hot offer and served myself. There was enough bread and egg to eat,I did at also and started my breakfast.
” You know,in the United States and Kingdoms,they eat first, before brushing their teeth,and Africans are flexing about their own ”.
” Hahahaaa…yes Lady Nash, you’re right ”.
” You’re a beautiful girl. I have now seen you properly. Who is the mother of that baby? ”
” Me. I am the mother ”.
” How come? Tell me your story ”.
As we ate together,I didn’t waste time at all to tell her the entire story. I told her everything, I didn’t deduct some,I didn’t add some.
” Mmmmmh…you don’t say. So your uncle Tom destroyed you like this? He raped you repeatedly, got you pregnant,his wife maltreated you,and threw you out of the house? ”
” Yes…and you have no idea..how my heart thirst for vengeance Lady Nash ”. My face swearts and turns wicked.
” Wow..I love that tone you just gave Angelina, actually you know what? You and I have similar stories. But the different here is,it was my father..that raped me ”. She said.
How shocking. She told me her mother died when she was being given birth to. And when she was growing up,her father always blamed her for her mother’s death. So her father took her as his wife and raped her more often. She never got the normal childhood as other children did. And so she swore to make her father pay,until one day, she met a certain woman,who introduced her to secret cult which gave people independence and free life to live their dream lives and power.

” What?! Secret cult?! ”. I shivered.
” Yes…they helped me finish my dad. I killed him. Hahahahaa…that was the most enjoyable time of my life,when I sucked the life out of him ”.
” You killed your own….”.
” Angelina!!! Do you wat to gt revenge on your uncle and aunt or not?! They deserve more than death,after what they did to you! Do you understand?!!! ”
” Yes..they do ”. I frowned miserable.
” After I killed him,the money I got,was bigger than earth. This secret cult,has made me rich,and fabulous and free! Wouldn’t you love,to be like me? ”
” I do..I really want to get my life back back please! ”. I said.
” How old are you? ”. She asked.
” 13…you? ”.
” I am 15…”
I wa very shocked, so am not the only person older than my age.
” I assure you Angelina, you will never regret it if you decide to join the secret cult. They only require young girls like us…you only have to obey the rules…that’s all ”.
” There are rules?! What rules? ”. I asked in wonder.
She quickly ignored that question.

” So tell me girl….are you ready to join the cult,and make your uncle wish he wasn’t born? ”
” …….
