ANGELINA Episode 28 By Adelaide Asaf (Daisy Cartel)

Lady Molio was now in a hot soup. She was at the verge of getting caught, with her shivering hand,she slowly took the phone from Mr Brandon. Even though doctor Graham was still on the line,Lady Molio didn’t know whether to put it on her ear or not. She just kept standing there,starring at Mr Brandon. The !aid of the house arrived there,holding a napkin.
” Mr Brandon ”.
” Yes Diana… what? Is food ready? ”.
” No sir. Your elders from church just arrived and are looking for you ”.
” Oh okay. Please hurry up with the evening meal okay? You know Nickel must take his drugs ”.
” Okay sir ”. Diana said and left.
” Please Rita,when you ate done with the call,bring the phone back to me downstairs ”.
” I will do so sir ”.
Mr Brandon went away walking downstairs. Lady Molio closed her gate and sat on the bed with the phone. She looked besides her and sat a jar of water on a little table closer to the bed. She hanged up the call and quickly took the jar. She wined her hands on top of the jar for seven times and poured a small amount in a drinking glass and drunk it.
She then cleared her throat and spoke out. Her voice had completely changed and it sounded exactly like the original Rita. Mr Brandon’s phone rang again and it was doctor Graham. She answered and spoke well,exactly Rita. The doctor advised her to take care of herself then after that,she left the room to take the phone to Mr Brandon.
(Nickel’s Room).
I was still standing there and he was also still sitting. It was crazy because ever since Mr Brandon left the room,we had not said a word to each other. Even though I wasn’t looking at his face,I knew he was starring at me. I was looking through the window which was still broken from the last witch fight.
Mr Brandon had to call a carpenter or someone at least to fix it. I was already feeling annoyed, standing there just like that with he not saying anything to me. I got up and started walking away,and that’s when he had mouth to talk.
” I am sorry….” .
” So now you have realised what you’re about to loose? ”.
” But I can’t believe that,just because I called someone, ‘beautiful’…so I will loose you? ”.
” Oh Nickel, do you think am smiling? ”.
” Okay,but I said am sorry. Okay,Angelina just forget about that girl. Can we just forget that girl,she’s just my therapist… I won’t even entertain her as a friend if that’s what you want. I will keep my distance from her,as soon as she’s done messaging my leg each day,I will make sure to make leave the room as soon as possible… please Angelina, we’ve being through a lot to finally be together, please understand ”.
I was so touched about what he said and started feeling stupid about my actions. I mean I should be trusting him,he loves me and me alone. And besides, if any third party tries to get involve, I will just deal with whoever it is. I walked to his side and sat beside him on the bed.
” I..I am sorry too sweetheart. I shouldn’t have acted so rudely towards you,I should trust you in is relationship and not let anyone come between us ”.
” Yes…please don’t allow anyone okay? We don’t even know that girl please ” .
” Yes you are right. She should just do her job and leave us alone ”.
That statement I made was indeed funny and we both laughed. But I was not going to keep my eyes so much away from that Rita,because no !after what,I still suspected. Lady Molio walked downstairs with Mr Brandon’s phone in her hands and when she got closer to him and the elders, she greeted and handed the phone I’ve to Mr Brandon.
” What did he say? ”.
” He was just giving some little advice to take care of Nickel sir ”.
” Hahahaha…oooh my friend, he cares so much ”.
” Yes sir,please excuse me ”.
When he and his elders were done talking, he thanked then and they left. Diana was then done with the evening meal. She started arranging the foods on the dinning table. Lady Molio had walked downstairs with the love portion in her pocket and she kept on starring at the food.
Diana was still arranging the foods. It was Italian beans rice and brown beef stew with a pineapple juice for dinner. She looked around the room and realised that it was left with only her Diana. She pretentiously walked towards her at the dinning table and sat in one of the chairs.
” Mmmhhh…..wow,what a nice aroma. This food would be delicious, uuuuhh am starving ”.
” Hahaha,food is already ready my dear. Let me go and call Mr Brandon and Angelina ”.
” What about Nickel? ” She intentionally asked.
” Well,I serve him in his bedroom. He can’t come downstairs… so when I call Mr Brandon and Angelina, I will take his food to him after ”.
” Should I help you with it? I’d love to help. Maybe I can go and serve Nickel his meal ”.
” I would be glad. Please it is in the kitchen,near the stove… you can go and take it ”.
Diana said and left the hall to upstairs. And Lady Molio left to the kitchen. On her way upstairs, Diana meet Angelina.
” Is the food ready Diana… I heard the aroma from Nickel’s room ”. I said and we both laughed.
” Oh yes…I was coming to call you and Mr Brandon ”.
” Well,I would prefer to have dinner with Nickel in his room. So,where is Nickel’s food? ”.
” In the kitchen… Rita offered to serve him,so I think she’s on her way with the food ”.
” What?! And you let her? ”.
I quickly started running down the stairs towards the kitchen.
(The Kitchen).
Lady Molio poured a pineapple juice into a glads and took out the love portion.
” Oh,what a pity Angelina… too bad your man would be mine. It will be so fan making you jealous over something you don’t even know. You would think it’s Nickel real feelings, but then it would be this love portion, doing all the work. And after these seven days are over,Nickel would have being dead,and Mr Brandon too.Then you will have no other choice but to come back into the cult and be Lady Sona…. who you truly are ”. She said and dropped the love portion into the juice and it started foaming.
I arrived at the kitchen door and poked my head into it and saw her standing close to the food and looking into it mysteriously. I kept quiet and kept watching her,but surprisingly, I saw her put nothing inside, when I saw her carry the food and juice into a tray,I entered the kitchen and took it from her and placed it back on the stove deal.
I raised my head up,looking at her face closely with mysterious eyes.
” Oh hi Angelina… you’re here. I was just taking Nickel’s food to him ”.
” I am not sure this was the job you were given,was it Rita? ”.
” Excuse me? ”.
” Let me explain better young lady…your job here,is to Nickel’s legs for him to start walking again…is that clear? The only person in this house, who can serve him his meal…is either me or Diana. Apart from that,no one else…so better keep that in your head ”. I said with an angry tone.
” Oh come on,why are you acting so hostile all of a sudden? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me taking his food to him…or has it being written on our faces of our places in his life? ”.
” It seems you didn’t hear me well…it is only, I,or Diana, who has the right to serve Nickel in bed,don’t even dare try to get closer to him more than his therapist Rita,I know your type…if you like..just dare me..and I will make you feel sorry ”.
As I said that, I didn’t even wait for her to say anything and took the food and drink away.
Lady Molio stood there looking at Angelina walking away and she kept on smiling victoriously, she knew for sure that,that was her lucky night. And she was going to win over this mission and be rewarded handsomely by the queen.
(Nickel Room).
I entered with the tray and Mr Brandon stood up and left the room to have dunner downstairs. I served Nickel on a wooden bed table and sat on bed with him.
” Wow…nice aroma ”.
” I know right? Hahahahaha,Diana should be given an award ”. I said and tacked in as we begun to eat. ” What did your father say? ”.
” His elders said that,the big bishop, their leader and the head of pastors in the country has called on all pastors to prepare themselves for a seven days prayer in the mountains ”.
” Tomorrow morning. Diana will pack the things he may need. All head pastors across the country are leaving their homes for the mountains ”.
” And he didn’t even tell me? ”.
” But I have told you… or? ”.
I quickly loosed my appetite and took the fruit juice and drunk some of it. And I quickly had a strange feeling in me. It’s as if I felt like vomiting. Nickel kept enjoying the food and he took the juice and also sipped a little, but Nickel was acting normal and kept enjoying his meal.
” Won’t you eat anymore? ”.
” Are you okay? ”.
” Absolutely, why? ”.
” No,nothing. .I loosed my appetite, just keep on eating ”
I was thinking, if Mr Brandon leaves,who will be my spiritual helper? And how do I look after Nickel on my own? Danny has also gone to school. Mr Brandon has offered to sponsor his education, he’s in high school and in a boarding. I am left with all this.
My birthday is exactly seven days time and I hope Mr Brandon would arrive and be with me when am throwing a party. I have no friends though, but I knew Nickel would invite his friends to celebrate with me. When he was done eating, I cleared the bed and went to put the things in the kitchen sink and went back upstairs.
(Next Day).
Mr Brandon apologized to me for not letting me know earlier, he pit his bags in the car for the mountains, and Nickel sat in his wheelchair. He advised us to stay united and together. And that he would return soon. He sat in his car and drive away. I took Nickel back into his room and Rita entered the room without knocking with a first aid bag containi God knows what.
” Good morning family ”.
” Good morning Rita,how are you? ”. Nickel asked.
” I am absolutely fine,since today is the day I start my work…won’t I be fine? ”.
She said and opened the bagand started removing massaging oil and ointment and other stuff she knew. I left Nickel’s side and stood at the gate to keep an eye on this so called therapist.
” Have you eaten already Nickel? ”.
” No please ”.
” Oh,you should at least take in something small before I start massaging you ”. She said and turned to me. ” Angelina, please can you go to the kitchen and bring Nickel some mango juice, or any other thing. He needs strength to access the pain he’s about to go through when am massaging ”.
” But he’s a man already… I mean,I have been !massaging his legs little by little and it does not hurt him,right Nickel? ”.
” I think Rita is right Angelina… please just bring Mr an apple juice, am very weak right now ”.
” Are you sure? ”.
” Yes ”.
I felt worried leaving this snake with him,I had wanted to shout from the room to downstairs to tell Diana to bring the juice but I would have looked like am feeling insecure. I just left the room and walked downstairs.
” Jeez,your girlfriend is so insecure and some one jealous human being ”. Lady Molio said.
” Tell me about it girl…she’s so jealous of everything, it annoys !e so much! ”. Nickel groaned. ” I just keep quiet because of my dad ”.
” You need someone much better than her sweetheart ”.
” You called me sweetheart? ”
” Yeah…why,don’t you like it? ”. Lady Molio said and started walking cunningly closer to Nickel.
His eyes had turned blue,and it turned back to it normal colour again. The portion had started working… Lady Molio sat in front of him and caressed his hair.
” You’re so beautiful Rita…you’re an angel ”. Nickel said as he layed on the bed.
” You’re also so cute Nickel… and you and I deserve each other, not that stupid Angelina ”.
She said and slowly got her head closer to Nickel face and they both locked their lips to each other and kissed romantically and touched each other tightly. Nickel kissed her in a way he had never kissed Angelina… his body language had changed and they swam their hands all over their bodies and kissed deeply with closed eyes.
(Downstairs).
Angelina had poured the apple juice in a glass and placed it on a tray. She walked to the living room, the television was on,and she went closer to the television was on,and she went closer to put it off but there was a news on the set.
” A body has being found near the safari bush area and we are yet to identity who the dead young lady is because she was stripped naked and the murderer left no evidence or clue behind. We have found sources which may lead us to finding who she is. We will soon deliver any information we get later on. Good morning once again ”. The journalist said and the channel changed to another programme.
” Ei people are really dying this days. Poor girl,she must have being killed by ritualist ”.
I said and put the television off and started walking and got to the front of his door……

(Nickel’s Bedroom).
As this two were busy and continuing kissing, they heard footsteps walking closer to the door. And in fright, they separated from each other and Lady Molio started massaging Nickel’s legs.
I entered the room with the apple juice and she was massaging Nickel’s legs. I went closer and ga e him the juice to Nickel and went back to stand at the door.
(For Life Hospital=Doctor’s Office).
Doctor Graham was busily writing on some documents piled up on his desk and a nurse entered the office in tears and anxiety.
” Doctor! Doctor… Bad news,bad bad news sir! ”. She said,breathing through her mouth.
” What is it? Please don’t tell me the pregnant woman in coma has dies ”.
” This is even worse doctor! It is about Rota ”.
” What?! Rita Lawrence? ”.
” Yes doctor… It’s on the news and everyone has heard it. Rita has being murdered doctor ”.
” Jesus Christ ”. He shouted and jumped out of his seat. ” Naomi stop joking… I have sent Rita to the Brandon’s mansion to take care of pastor Brandon’s son. I even spoke to her yesterday when she arrived in the mansion. So what are you talking about now? ”.
” Sir,you can put in the television and see…her body has being videotape. Everyone is talking about it. It is Rita ”.
Doctor Graham switched in the television in his office and saw the news being aired and he was shocked.
” Oh my God,so if Rita is dead,who is the one I spoke to? ”.
” Doctor, I think something is wrong somewhere… we have to find out ”…
(Brandon’s Mansion=Nickel’s Bedroom) .
For about two hours,she was still not done with the massage. I was already feeling so restless and getting annoyed. I was also feeling hungry. Nickel’s eyes were closed when this was going on.
” Rita,isn’t it enough? ”.
” Do you what your boyfriend to start walking again or not? It seems you are feeling insecure with me massaging him,you can ask doctor Graham to change me ”.
” Oh how I wish I could do that ”. I whispered.
” Excuse me? ”.
” Nickel, what would you eat? ”.
” Just bring me some fruit salad and pancakes. I am really not feeling okay Angelina… please hurry because am weak ”.
” Okay okay…I will be back ”. I said and got out.
(Downstairs).
Diana was having coffee in the kitchen so she could cook lunch. And she heard the telephone ring from the Hall. She got on her feet with her coffee and went to the hall to answer and it was doctor Graham.
” Hello…this is the Brandon’s residence, who am I speaking to speak? ”
” Hello?…this is doctor Graham of For Life Hospital. Where is pastor Brandon? ”.
” Huh? Oh wow doctor…this is Diana ”
” Diana how are you doing? ”.
” I am fine doc ”.
” So where is Mr Brandon? ”.
” Well,Mr Brandon has left to the mansion this morning to the mountains to pray for seven days ”.
” Oh my God ”.
” Doctor why? ”
” It’s about that nurse in the mansion… you forget about that,I am on my way right now,something is wrong somewhere ”. He said and hanged up.
” He…hello??? Oh he hanged up…but,what about the nurse? ”. She said and put the phone away.
I walked down the stairs and saw Diana walking to the kitchen with coffee cup in her hands. She is the perfect to fry the pancakes and make fruit salad so I could go back to check on this nurse who is till in the room with Nickel. I didn’t want to make any complaints anymore since Nickel and I just reconciled yesterday… If I should complain, I would be looking bad in everyone’s eyes and I didn’t want to do that….I have a feeling that nurse is up to something. And I know my feelings are never wrong. I will have to do something quick before something am not expecting happens.
” Diana wait! ”.
” Yes? ”.
” I heard you talking… who were you talking to? ”.
” It was doctor Graham on the phone… he was looking for Mr Brandon ”.
” Oh okay…”.
” I can’t hide this from you Angelina. There is something you should know about what doctor Graham said. He was sounding very weird and worried ”.
” About what ”.
” Do you know that he was asking about the nurse? ”. She whispered to me.
” What…Rita? ”.
” Exactly… He wanted to talk to Mr Brandon about the nurse,but since Mr Brandon is not here,he is coming here on his own….he Ben said,something is wrong somewhere. I am beginning to suspect that,the girl in this house is not a nurse oo ”.
” What?! ”. I was shocked.
” Keep your voice down now ”. She whispered. ” Just be careful okay? At least until doctor Graham arrives and we see what happens ”.
I started shaking under my feet. Thinking about this,I started remembering about the anaconda and the actions of this so called therapist. Have I being blinded all this while? Am I sleeping while my legs around outside? I was confused at that particular moment? I had to act fast since she was in Nickel’s room.
” Errrrmmmm….Diana, please can you go and fry some pancakes and please combine on apple,pineapple, grape and strawberry and make it a fruit salad for Nickel okay? Please make it fast ”.
” Okay ”. She said and went into the kitchen.
I was restless. I wanted to go back to Nickel’s room to check on him bit I decided to go and start my investigation. I tiptoed upstairs and walked closer to Rita’s door. I slowly opened it and entered. I felt so weird entering the room. But I did any way. I closed the door behind and begun to search through her bags and clothes if I could find any clue whatsoever….
(For Life Hospital=Outside).
Doctor Graham stood besides his car getting ready to go to the Brandon’s mansion. He stood there with one of the nurses. Queen Marina appeared there in horror but she invisible to them. She stood in front of the car and opened her mouth,letting out a big green anaconda out of her mouth. She disappeared and the anaconda crawled to the door of the car and entered through the door and entered the car.
” Naomi,I want you to look after the hospital until I co!e back. Take my place and look after my office until I return…. okay? ”.
” Yes doc. Please take care of yourself and if there is anything you may need,please call me and I will be there immediately ”.
” That won’t be necessary. I guess pastor Brandon is not picking my calls because he is busily praying ”.
” Yes,you are right doctor, Mr Brandon is praying by now…please sir,we should make sure to get to bottom of this ”.
” Take care okay…I will be back after seeing who is acting like Rita…after this is over,I will have to confirm her body at the mortuary ”.
He said and entered his car,he sparked and drove away. On the way,he drove speed on the road,thinking what to do,he tried calling Mr Brandon but the phone was still switched off. The anaconda crawled into the back seat and raised it’s head up and had opened it mouth with the fangs,starring at doctor Graham in the front mirror.
Doctor Graham spotted the snake in the mirror while driving speed,he quickly turned his back and faced the snake meeting a be strong poisonous bite on his shoulders. He screamed out in pain and he didn’t see the snake disappear.
He turned his face to the road but his car went crashing against another car and blood splashed on the windows and seats.
(Brandons Mansion=Nickel’s Bedroom).
It was left with Lady Molio and Nickel alone in the bedroom. And Lady Molio had started feeling attracted to Nickel already. She was feeling scared because she was not supposed to fall in love with anyone. But Nickel on the other hand had no idea what was going on in his world because all he knew was that he was in love with her.
After the massage, Lady Molio was quite surprised that Angelina had not returned with the food for Nickel… That was so unlike her. And she was wondering what was really going on. She decided to go and check herself. She arranged her things in the first aid bag and turned to leave.
” But are we not supposed to practice since you are done? Why are you leaving so soon? ”.
” I am just surprised that Angelina is not back with the food…are you not? ”.
” Forget about Angelina now…she is not here,just the two of us…okay? ”.
” But are you not hungry? ”.
” Forget about that and come and help me on my feet…we should practice at least ”.
Nickel tried standing up and Lady Molio went to hold him up,his legs were shaking and trembling but he was standing straight and he was so excited.
” Do you feel any pains in your legs? ”.
” Hell yeah…but it’s better than sitting down on that bed all day long right? ”.
” Sure ”. She said and smiled.
” Thank you…my love ”.
They got to the mood again and engrossed into each others arms in a romantic kiss. Lady Molio had her eyes closed and saw Queen Marina in a vision then she quickly opened her eyes and separated herself from Nickel.
” What is it Rita? ”.
” Nothing… I will see you later for the next massaging session. Good day ”.
Lady Molio got out from the room and she headed straight to her room.
(Lady Molio’s Room).
I kept searching through her things and everything seemed to look normal. She had nothing hidden anywhere. Was I overreacting? There was nothing to prove there was nothing wrong anywhere. I then prepared myself to leave the room but I heard footsteps coming towards the door. Demn am so screwed.
Looking around me, there was no place to hide myself. I was quickly having my eyes in all direction in no direction. I didn’t know where to hide now. So I had no choice but to get under the bed. I quickly layed on the floor and rolled myself under the be in silence.
Lady Molio entered the room and with fright, she threw the first aid bag onto the bed and sat down.
” Oh shit! Why did I let myself get carried away with him? ”. She said and stood up,walking to and fro around the room. ” I am not even allowed to go that far,I should be study. Nickel must walk again,that’s what matters most and the quee……”. And there was a knock on the door.
She walked to the door and opened it and it was Diana.
” Hello my dear Rita…lunch is ready,please your food is in the dinning hall ”.
” But Diana, where is Angelina? ”.
” I have no idea…I have searched everywhere for her. She just came to the hall and asked me to prepare pancakes for Nickel…that was it,I don’t know where she is ”.
” That’s strange. Okay Diana, let’s go… but I hope you have served Nickel ”.
” Yes I have ”.
They both left the room and I got on my feet and left the room too.
” There is something very fishy about this Rita…what was she talking about right now? Oh come on,and Diana came to interrupted her…something is wrong. What did she mean by being carried away? ”. I was confused but walked into my own room.
(Mountain Geshon=9pm).
Prayers was being carried out. But the bishop called Mr Brandon aside.
” Pastor Brandon, bless you ”.
” Bishop, bless you too…anything the matter? ”.
” How is your son? ”.
” He is okay…at least,he was fine when I left home ”.
” I feel in my spirit..that there is something wrong in your home ”.
” Mine? God forbid. God would have revealed to me ”.
” Why don’t you switch on your phone to check home? ”.
” I assure youbishoo…nothing is wrong. Yo let me pray for this seven days ahead,and after that…I will go home to see everything normal ”.
Mr Brandon said and went back to the prayers…..
