PIA Episode 9 by Amah’s Heart

I couldn’t go back to bed even after the man instructed me to go and relax, my heart was filled with joy and sleeping again was not in the line for me,
I went to the kitchen to assist Ben, he was happy to have me around and I was also happy, I asked him to leave the cooking I Will do it but he said no and when I insisted he later left to do other things,
I was looking forward to seeing Jerry, I kept checking the time to know when he will arrive, my boss came back with bags of cloth and shoes, and handed it over to me, I try to kneel down and thank him, I wanted to show how grateful I was, nobody has ever gone shopping for me since I was born, the first person that ever bought something nice for me was Jerry which Aunty Koh pieces on my body,
I have never own anything nice before,
but my boss really surprised me by going to shop for me by himself when he could as well send one of his house or office staffs or even send me, I felt important, I felt I was somebody, it was an extra ordinary feeling which I can’t just explain, when I knelt down to thank him, he asked me to stand and gently told me never to kneel before him again because he is just an ordinary being like myself, he said he will give me money and his driver will take me to get other things that he couldn’t get for me, like the undies, pants, bra and some sanitary pad,

It was mind blowing, just imagine myself in one of his cars, and his driver driving me to a shop almost takes my breath away,
I can’t remember owing a new pants except what aunty Koh and her daughter gives me, most of them are mostly worn out especially Aunty Koh’s own, even though her pants are over size for me she will ask me to mend it with needle and thread until it becomes my size, and I will gladly do that, and I’m always happy and grateful when I’m given anything, I will always go to her, kneel down to thank her because that’s what she requires of me, when I started my monthly flow some years back and I told her she scolded me for telling her because she’s not my mother, she said I was disgusting her the more by telling her such thing,
so I was suppose to sort myself out and I started with the tissue papers but she bans me from touching her tissue, she said I was wasting her husband’s money, after being ban from tissues I went to my corner and pieces most of my cotton cloths, and I started using it, Aunty koh never asked me what I use, but she always check her tissue papers to make sure I don’t touch them,
I watch her buy sanitary pad for Lano her daughter and I stole one piece from her one day and she didn’t notice, the following month I stole two pieces of it and she found out and told her mum and it landed me in a serious beating, I’m not the bosty type, so i don’t wear bra,
maybe because the one i got from Lano who felt she’s doing me a favour by given me her old stuffs was bad, Lano was bosty like her mum, one of the bra Lano gave me, the iron pin from it almost injured me, and no matter how I sew it up or amend it, the iron will still pull out, I have to dump it and start wearing big cloths instead where my small breast won’t be easily noticed,
well I was always getting into trouble in that house, nothing I do is ever good, I was always a nobody, an ugly bastard who will eventually end up like her mother, this was always there believe which I sometime agrees with them, on being a nobody but I wanted to make sure I don’t end up like the picture they created of me
just sitting down and holding the money that my boss gave me to go shop for undies and other things made me to flash back
It brought sad tears to my eyes and I quickly clean it up,
is a terrible world we live in but not everybody in it are bad,

I was still looking out for Jerry and who ended up not coming and even the following day he didn’t show up,
My boss told me to let him know any day I’m ready to go with the driver to buy my stuff so that he can release him for me,
I almost ask my boss about Jerry after one week,
I was so worried about him, I haven’t seeing him since I started staying with my boss, what could be the problem, I hope I didn’t offend him
One evening after making dinner and cleaning up the whole place i started praying for jerry to show up, I was still hoping and praying that Jerry will come but he ended up not coming again

The following day was weekend making it two weeks, I have already made up my mind to ask my boss, after making breakfast that morning I was trying to rehearse the way I will ask my boss about Jerry so that he won’t be offended or even collect Jerry’s number so that i can call him with Ben or puff the kind security guard’s phone,
just when I muster courage to go meet my boss I saw a car driving into the compound, and he was the one, it was Jerry, my joy was full and I screamed before running out, my boss was just laughing at me
I couldn’t contend myself on seeing him, I ran outside and threw myself into his arm, he held me so tight, I Almost thought I will disappear inside his body,
And when he released me I was in tears while he was smiling, he wiped the tears with the back of his hand,

“I’m glad to see you Pia, hope those are tears of joy, it better be because nobody will bother you ever again, you are safe now, you look good by the way, I trust Mr Ken, your boss, he is taking good care of you…

” I thought i will never see you again, I have being worried sick, I’m so happy to see you Jerry… Where have you being…oh Jerry… Thank you…thank you so much for all your kindness God will definitely reward you, I owe you greatly…

“Shhh…you owe me nothing Pia, I’m so happy to know you are fine, God always have a way of caring for his people, he answered my prayer over you, our path crossed for such a time as this, that you may come to know him and understand God loves you just as you are, I was suppose to travel but postponed it because of you, I felt in my spirit something was wrong, and I started digging, well all glory to God for leading you out of what could have destroy or harm you, i came immediately Mr Ken called me that you are here, I went to your quarter and saw you on your kneel… sleeping, it was a sight to behold, I gently lay you on the bed before covering you up and leaving you to sleep in peace, I felt happy and my mind was at rest, so knowing you are in safe hands, I have nothing to worry about again, I just went home and thank God and i traveled the following morning for work and came back yesterday…

he held my hand as we walked in to the house, he greeted my boss who was smiling and gave him a handshake, and he ask him if he was able to finish the job he traveled for and he replied affirmatively, Jerry also greeted Richie, my boss younger brother who glanced towards me before replying,

After the whole pleasantries I couldn’t wait to take him outside and have a long gist with him,
I remembered the money my boss gave me for my extra shopping was still with me, maybe I could ask Jerry to take me instead of his driver, it only depends if Jerry is free for a ride,
After I was done with the little chores, I whispered to Jerry if we can go for a ride and he said he will love to,
So I quickly took permission from my boss who said it was fine, and told me not to stay late outside, I assured him I won’t, Richie my boss brother said he was going for shopping tomorrow I should Wait till then so that he can take me but I just thanked him for his surprisingly kindness, and told him I will go with him next time, I’m going with Jerry today.

I will rather go with Jerry than with Richie, who recently looks at me in a way I don’t understand

I rushed to my quarter and got dressed, before leaving with Jerry, he was the first to speak

“You are adding up, looking more fresh and beautiful compare to the last time I saw you, and you also look relaxed and happy…I can’t stop saying that,

” thanks to you Jerry, you are God sent to me…I can’t stop saying that too

We both laughed at same time as he drove me down

“So where I’m I taking princes pia to…

I laughed even more with the way he attached princess to my name,

” we are going for shopping, my boss gave me enough money to go and buy what I will need…..even after he got me lots of stuffs, so I just want to go and buy some personal things,

“Wow…I will select good “personal things” for you, don’t worry, I’m always here for you, I’m glad to be your boy, your driver, your hand bag…and your friend…hope you will buy some personal thing for me too…

I laughed even more just hearing him say all that, and he said it in a funny way, he also laughed, I felt so free with him, he was my second best friend after June, I’m so happy to be sitting beside him,

” I feel so happy watching you laugh, I know sadness is the thing if the past now, joy has come to stay in your life Pia…

And with his word I said a very loud Amen, still with a smile and I know even God heard it.

PIA Episode 10 by Amah’s Heart

After our first outing Jerry comes around most weekend,
my boss brother, Richie had started acting nice unlike before, but I’m not always comfortable with the way he still looks at me, sometime he will intentionally brush his arm on me and act like it was a mistake, I found out it was not a mistake when he did it the third time, there was a day he even brushed his hand towards my breast, he will sometime stare at me as if there was a sign Post on my forehead,
it was a sexual advances to my litle inderstsnding, which i wasn’t comfortable with, it send cold chill down my spin, I hate it when he is doing that,

Richie works in his elder brother’s company, if he is coming back from work sometimes he will buy me cold Stone ice cream and shawama, sometimes even pizza, and will want us to eat together, the first time I rejected his presents, he was angry and said he doesn’t like his gifts to be thrown back to his face,
so what I do is I collect them and thank him, I will tell him I’m not hungry now but I will eat them later, so later I will take them to puff at the gate, Puff has children so he will take it to his family whenever he is going home, I give some to Ben, I don’t feel comfortable with Richie at all, sometime I think I’m overacting or too suspicious of him,

One weekend Jerry came again and we took another ride out, I wanted to tell Jerry about Richie but I quickly waved it off

“I guess Mr Ken told you I met your little friend, June… the day I went looking for you..she is such a smart kid unlike her other siblings, she said If I happen to find you i should let you know that she will be praying for you, and you can also check her up in school during her break period which happens to be 12noon, she knew God was with you and nothing will happen to you, she says her break period last for 30minute, well…. she is wiser than her age…any day you are free we can sneak down to her school and take a peep at her… I guess she will love that…but Pia…why didn’t you speak to anyone about all you were going through… Why didn’t you talk to me or somebody else about your aunty and her family…what if she disfigured you or something worst happened…

” there’s nobody to talk to…nobody…I don’t have anybody..and I couldn’t just start telling you about myself, you took my trouble upon yourself to help me get a job, I can’t add more to you Jerry…you made me to understand that some disappointment is a blessing in disguise, the day you splashed mud on me… at first it was normal for me to get the worst thing out of life and you surprised me by reversing back to apologise and you later started telling me the power of words…you told me to always speak positively to myself and no matter what people may say about me, I can tear down and also build with my word, I didn’t believe you then I just saw you as one of those motivational speakers..but I do now..you said you will be praying for me even when I didn’t really believe there’s a God somewhere who loves me just as I am…thank you for allowing God to lead you into my life, and for helping me to believe.. I will never forget the first day we met, So how do you come to know my boss…

“I use to work for him, when he was building his company, he is into oil and gas, he contacted me and I did a good work for him and we built a good relationship from there, he also contacted me when he was building his house, we have being cordial friends, I visit him sometime and one day he talked about getting somebody who will be assisting Ben in the house, because Ben can’t do everything, cook, wash, clean and still put other things in place, I told him then I don’t have anybody but you suddenly showed up and I quickly contacted him, he trust me and I trust him too, he is a good man Pia…you being under his roof is a very good thing because I know you are safe…Mr ken has a good heart and he is very humble..

What of richie…do you trust him too, Do my boss has a family…where is he from…what of Richie his brother…is he the only brother he has…tell me more about my boss…

” hmmmm I can’t tell you more than what I know, if you have any question go and meet him…he has a kind heart he Will answer you, ask him anything and he will tell you what you need yo know, he is transparent to those who are close to him, he can also be tough if you disobey his orders…

I always enjoy talking with Jerry, I feel at peace when ever he is around,
Jerry later traveled again and this time he stayed more than a month,

The young security guard at the gate has being avoiding me, probably he is thinking of the way he acted towards me the first day I came down looking like a crazy being, if he has succeeded in chasing me away I would have ended up in the street,

who knows what would have happened to me by now but God used Puff to save me from him, I have tried to be nice to him just to make him understand that a person is a person no matter how unkempt he or she maybe, but he still avoids me, he is absolutely not my problem, I know he will come around when he is ready,

is been over a year now I have being here and I’m growing in height and wisdom, God has being so good to me, my boss as being paying me and I’m saving for the raining day, I may have opportunity to go to school again, so I’m saving up, and he sometime gives me money for my upkeep aside the normal money he pays me on monthly basis, he promise to put me in school by next year, he even registered me in a learning center, so that I can be academically sound before entering university,

he told me to come to him anytime I have any issue, I shouldn’t be scared,
so today I saw him sitting down alone thinking about something, I wanted to go and talk with him but I guess today is not a good time for that, I don’t want to disturb him,

I went back to my room because it was night already, after thirty minutes I hard a tap on my door,
As I open the door it was Richie, he stepped pass me and sat on the bed, so I asked him

“Do you need anything sir…

” you…I need you…don’t you like me…don’t you want me like i want you….. no tell me and I will understand, I also wanted to ask..is Jerry your boyfriend..or are you afraid of cheating on him…you know I like you very much Pia, well I don’t really fancy you before, you were not my type of girl, you were too thin and not good to look at until you started adding more curves, do you see how beautiful you are now, my big bro is pouring too much money on you, pia my brother and Jerry doesn’t really have to know if you agree to date me…it will be a secret between both of us, and I will make sure you have the best of life, I will do for you more than what my brother or anybody has ever done for you… I promise you pia…please…

“Please you need to leave sir…I can’t date you… Please leave or I will shout…

He smile before moving close to where I was standing and lowered his mouth to mine, I turned my face, and he held me and drew me close to himself,
I struggled under his arm, then he started touching me inappropriately I needed to do something quick,
so I started screaming, he tried to hush me to keep quiet, I kept screaming, he tried to cover my mouth but I bite his hand hard and screamed even louder,

as he was about rushing out of my room my boss with the security was at my door,

I was happy watching him try to hide his face on seeing my boss…
