Chapter1:The pitiful waitress
My mother passed away when she gave birth to me.When I'm 6 years my father died.Now my grandparents who I'm left with their are no more.I’m kind_hearted intelligent and ambitious but those qualities In me seemed to unnoticed by people
I narrated this to my friend Racheal.
Racheal: This is so touchy , sorry my dear the Lord will protect you.
My eyes were red as l cried.
She breathed.She wept sorrowful.The poor girl looked pitiful.
Racheal: it's okay my friend,the lord will guide you and protect you”.
Racheal assured her friend.
Few weeks ago after my grandparents who died in an accident was buried.I relocated to madam Sonia house.
Madam who is not caring.
I slowly opened her eyes to the sound of alarm blaring,gorgily,she reached over to silence it,rubbing the sleep from her eyes.I sat up and yearned, she slept back.
Madam Sonia walked to me.
Madam Sonia: wakeup you this crazy fellow “.
I quickly got up.
“Good morning madam Sonia”. I greeted her.
Madam Sonia: “Damn you!,you this bastard. You're still sleeping by this time of an hour, your mate have already gone to work”
Useless fellow,she insulted me .
This statement makes me feel hurt.
Me:”Ma I'm sorry”.
Mtcheew!! She hissed.
I was sad.I walked outside,I stood at the house balcony,I cried out loud.
Me:”God why me,why did you do this to me”.
I continued crying.
I started singing,as I sing tears rolled from my eyes .I knew it was tears of joy.
Madam Sonia:”Did you realize you're making noise “.
“I'm sorry ma,I quickly apologized”.
Mtcheew!! She hissed.
The next day Madam Sonia sent me away from her house.
Madam Sonia:You this crazy fellow, bastard go and work “
“Or did you think I would be feeding you?
Madam Sonia questioned me.
I felt sad,tears rolled down my eyes.
As she sent me out of her house.She closed the door.
I didn't have where to stay.I sat down in the backyard.My friend Racheal has relocated to Canada.
For the past two weeks I’ve been sleeping in an uncompleted building,I knew it was dangerous but I don't have where to stay. Untill I taught of going to the nearest restaurant
I moumered ,”should I go to the nearby Restaurant “.
I thought of this.I slept outside Madam Sonia compound.Since I didn't have anywhere to sleep.
It was cold outside.
I walked to her door.
Knock!Knock! .A knock at Madam Sonia's door.
Madam Sonia;Damn you!,get the f**k, get out ,she shouted at me.
Me: “Please allow me in”.I said in a cool voice.
She replied never .
I cried ,and I managed to sleep on the balcony.
The following morning.I dressed in a silk black suit, that's the only cloth I have.As I walked out from Madam Sonia compound.I went to the nearby Restaurant.
As I walked in the restaurant,the gatekeeper questioned me.
The gatekeeper:Who are you looking for,he looked down on me”.
Me:I……
I starmerd.
The gatekeeper ask me to go in,
I walked in,I sat down great,I was hungry,I didn't eat for 2 days.
One of the waitresses came to me .
The waitress: what will you like to eat”
I nodded.
“Jollof rice and chicken “I said.
She served the food,I was unable to eat the meal because I'm not with money.I try to eat the food.
I ate the food,I looked pitied,and a lady was observing me.
The waitress walked up to me:Pay your bills,she said “.
Me:I……
I starmerd.
The lady moved close to me,how!“much is her bill?”.she questioned the waitress.
The waitress:$2 ma.
The woman paid.
“Thank you ma”I said.
She sat down beside me.
The lady:”Where are you parents?" She asked.
I screamed and cried.
My parents are dead.
The lady said “oh common do not cry”
She said “I'm the manager of this Restaurant,and can employ you as a staff member.
Me:”yeah sure”
I asked her if I could start today .
The lady replied yes sure,if you want gentle girl.
“Thank you ma,I appreciated her”.
She replied”you're welcome dear”.
The following day,I started work.But another condition came in ,I didn't have a place to live.
I went to meet the lady,I said quietly “ma can you accommodate me?”
“Yes,there's accomodation at the restaurant,”she said.
“Oh!wow!
I exclaimed.
I screamed ,”thank you ma”.
She replied you're welcome, dear.
I said in my mind, I've now got where to live.
I smiled.
I started living in the restaurant.
One day I dreamt that I was married to a billionaire man.While I'm still the manager Mrs Ruth entered my room,she wake-up me up.This makes me annoyed but I wake up .
Me: Good morning Mrs Ruth.
Mrs Ruth :”Morning my dear,go and prepare , it's time for work she said “.
I walked to the bathroom,I opened the door of the bathroom ,the door clicked.I had my bath.
I stood at the mirror,in the room,I dressed myself,I brushed my hair carefully.I imagined the dream I dreamt.I laughed,I went out.
The following night I had the same dream.
I dreamt that” I and the billionaire's man lay in each other's arms and he lowered next to me lying by my side,he kisses training over my skin,his mouth moved along my throat,down the delicate of her neck and until his lips found my breast and he took my n*****s into his mouth.I Smiled gently.
I coughed,I woke up,”Ah , it was a dream" .I said.
I yawned.I checked the time, it was 4:am.
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes,I slept again.
The following day,I narrated my dream to the manager.
She said I should keep on praying.
Thank you ma I said.
I went back to my duty.When I got out the day.
I bought out my bible.I started praying to God,everyday I always pray to God.I Knew my dream will come true .
Me:God please answer my prayer,do not push me to shame, I'm tired of this life,change my life for the better.
I murmured,I know I will soon be rich.
I smiled.
As I started work,the little amount they paid me,I was using the money to take care of myself.Thing started getting better.
Although I’m hard working,I started working hard at the restaurant.I was loved by the manager.One fateful afternoon,I remembered my parents and my grandparents.I wiped.I cried bitterly.
As I remembered no one would beg me.I cleaned off my tears.I continued my duty.The manager noticed my face.
“The manager: Your eyes were red, hope no problem”.She asked.
I nodded.”No ma ,I said In cool voice.
“Do not think,with God all things are possible”.
“Thank you ma" .I said.
Hmm!I breathed.I started singing.I have a passion for singing.
My colleagues laughed at me,as I was singing tears rolled down from my eyes.I cleaned my tears carefully with a White handkerchief.
“Do not relent in praying”,the lady said the same thing to the manager.
One of my colleagues said.”Little lady cheer up”.
The staff were nice at my work place.Everyone of them treated me nicely.
“Let gist ," the lady whispered in my eyes.
I smiled.
We began to gist.
“Did you enjoy the gist?" she asked.
Me:oh sure I love gisting”.The lady makes my day lovely.I smiled.”Thank you “.
