Alisa's Tragedy

Episode 3

Time flies,Alisa could hardly differentiate between love and hate, people around her seems to change, even though her father is not as wealthy as Malisa's,he makes sure she lacks nothing in her life,and both their parents have no intention of sending them to collage but a standardized Islamic school.it doesn't matter how long it takes,but the western education is what would be achieved after Islamic school, nevertheless mixing both won't hurt.Both Alisa and Malisa's parents had a concensus on where to get them enrolled, there is an Islamic school at Namibia, they can learn both Arabic and English said Malisa's father.

Alisa's personality is such a great one that everyone wants to mingle with her,her male friend jijo is the best companion she has,most people often think they are lovers,but truth be told,it looks like he has feelings for her.

The first thing that has ever come between Alisa and Malisa is jijo's appearance into their lives, Malisa loves jijo with all her heart,and what baffles her is how can he love her best friend Alisa.The first impression she had about them like other people do was they are lovers,what Malisa does was try to pick fault on everything little thing he does,jijo is cute, handsome and a hard working young man,he has been assisting his family ever since his father's fish business failed,not even that he is full of brains,he has been gathering his money to go back to the big city and complete his degree program after an obtained diploma in banking and finance.He always gives a tutorial to anyone interested in the town for free.Alisa always top the class and how unfortunate her best friend always refer to her success as a boyfriend's help,it is obvious her jeolousy has no umbrella to hide anymore.

Alisa I don't like this your friend jijo,Arrgh... but why malisa? he is such a nice friend... to you huh? she left briskly.What on Earth could be wrong with Malisa, ever since I met jijo,she always fight with me over him,but I won't let this come between us, while she continue picking stones from the local rice brought in by her father.

It's a breaking news that Nene's people are planning on bringing her back to her matrimonial home,and that she is a changed person now,well! she must have learnt her lesson and even though she is coming in to make more troubles Alisa won't be around to accommodate her nonsense..she should give it to her husband.

Alisa headed straight to Malisa's house in an attempt to apologise and keep to their vow that no one shall come between them.

Helloooo!!!

Hi answered kwame, Malisa's younger brother.she's in even before she asked of who she came looking for...babe you left angrily that's why am here, nobody can come between us,not even some poor tout...and who is the poor tout?jijo? replied Malisa.it made Alisa to believe her instincts that Malisa is a changed person, she now uses the word poor on people,well he may be poor but he has dignity,am here to apologise that's all...

Malisa busted into a great laughter,see who is defending him today..love one tin tin.. whatever as she head for the door.

it's crystal clear that Malisa has changed,she quarrels with Alisa at every little chance she gets,and anything that makes Alisa happy will certainly make her sad,all because she despises her but Alisa always tires to ignore her.

On getting home,Alisa saw women dancing and rejoicing,the only thing is Nene would be coming back today and that's what call for the celebration.

Alas!

it was Nene looking all thin like a person who has murdered another undergoing the penalty of fasting for 60days,there is no evidence of good looking on Nene,it's clear that she only gets to eat and make merry only in her husband's house.

welcome back Nene,she seems to be nice this time around, thank you my daughter,the word sends cold chill down Alisa's spine,well she better change she said to herself and walked away to her room.

One of Nene's blunt sisters drew Alisa's veil,can't you greet your elders you poor little brat,well am sorry but I greeted you all,may be you were absent minded.. How dare you say that?well it's not your fault,it's your father's for keeping you this old in the house, funny as it sounds, because Alisa never had any relationship and the only boy she knows is jijo who is just a friend.Mad world Alisa laughed.

Alisa's room was looking scattered, even her mother's photo that was hung on the wall fell,the bed was scattered to a ripped bedsheet.Her little cosmetic bag was torn and the powder poured to the floor,her most cherished inheritance was a charcoal iron left by her mum was thrown outside,her well arranged clothes in the box were scattered,the little provision bought in readiness for school was littered in the room...who must have done this? asking who does this is like looking for trouble but then her trouble was also looked for so I have to ask said Alisa to herself.I asked who did this? ....the only answer she got was that the little children they came with did that.

Well everyone who sees this knows it was not done by kids but by adults, Alisa has no choice than to accept it to avoid further troubles.

Alisa is a calm person, trouble can never be part of her or anything as such.

Baba's arrival...

The house looks deserted,as if a ghost has been circulating round the house for a while and everyone is scared to live in it, where is everyone?baba asked but every where was quite, Nene has gone back to her room and was sitting quietly in a corner like a new bride,and Alisa was also in her room tiding up the mess that was created,Baba went straight to Alisa's room to check on her,Oh my goodness! what is this Alisa?are you okay?did you have a fight with anyone?baba asked surprisingly.Its the kids baba ,I was not at home that was why they gain access to the room,baba was very angry at the time,he knew no child will do this,it's definitely Nene or her sisters.

Baba walked out of the room and went to Nene's room,she stood up immediately upon seeing him, welcome my husband she said full of happiness,hold it......

Nene.... why are you so wicked and heartless,what did this poor child do to you,why do you hate her so much?is it her fault that you have no child to call your own?,Nene bowed down her head and kept quiet because she fully knows what he was talking about, and she knew nothing on Earth will ever make him believe that she has no hand in it,so she just had to keep quiet and listen to him.Baba pulled Nene by the hair and dragged her out to Alisa room,on getting there he pushed her in and she fell unto the ground, please my husband,have mercy on me, I didn't do anything wrong to her,you can even asked her Nene said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Baba Nene didn't do anything it was the kids please pardon her,she's a changed person now, please baba, Alisa knelt down begging her father but baba turned a deaf ear.His heart was filled with anger because he knew the kind of hatred Nene has towards his daughter.

Nene! Nene! Nene!

Baba called pointing his index finger towards Nene,if anything like this happens again you are definitely going back to your father's house and never to return,he warned.Nene shook her head as Alisa helped her get up.Alisa took her to her room and started massaging her legs and back so she can feel some relief.

Nene thanked her and told her to go back to her room so she won't cause any trouble for her again.
