TITLE: WALL

Episode 1: HOUSE PRISON Written by: Authoress Dee Loveth's POV Have always known love wasn't meant for me but I just couldn't stop falling in love, Have got to know I lose my feelings gradually or should I just say it doesn't grow and the moment I find a man I always believed he was meant for me forgetting that love is not my thing. " Love" might be original word to others to me it means something, i always want to give my best into loving someone but the more I try the more I get negative outcome. I really want to have someone I will call my own but I'm the one driving them away. Have been in several relationships and sincerely I cannot but see myself as a possess demon when it comes to loving, relationship and emotional stuff. My first love was Paul, I could still remember vividly we met in the church during Christmas Eve, it was an awesome service and everyone couldn't stop thinking about the enjoyment that will definitely come up the next day. After church service, I was so eager to go home with my brother, my parents and my elder sister have decided not to go to church so it was only myself and my immediate younger brother, I rushed out of the church holding Micheal ( my immediate brother's hand) when I bombed into someone. Ohh so sorry ( we both said) No problem he said to me, my name is David and yours? I'm Loveth I said without maintaining an eye contact with him, I held Michael's hand and went home I didn't bother to turn back to confirm if he is still watching or not but I noticed my legs couldn't lift my body easily, I had to act cool and try not to fall. Two days after Christmas, my parents said we would be relocating. Have always been so excited that one day I would finally be out of this area, there is allot I hate about where we stay firstly, I don't think it suite our personality My mum is a full house wife as dad insisted that he ddidn't want her to work, my dad is a well known reporter in short we have what it takes to be called the elite, so I really couldn't find a tangible reason why we have to stay in an environment like this. But that was then, right now I don't want to leave anymore Since Christmas Eve, I couldn't just forget about how soft his voice was, how comforting and loving it was. I just want to see him again and give those complementary words to him, he made me believe in Men again, his voice was soft and calm not like my dad's own that only made me cry everyday, As I said earlier "maybe some people were not meant to be loved" My parents are rich, but my dad didn't believe in sending female children to school I could still remember when I was 12 years old, my mom and dad had a misunderstanding about myself and my immediate elder sister's education, my mom want us to go to school and least to just have alittle understanding about education but instead my dad got mad at her and beat her up, he said female child would only end up in another man's house, he said he would rather invent his money in something tangible that sponsoring us to school, have cried have prayed and right now have given up, have accepted that as my fate, Maybe is true he should invent his money. But instead dad would only spend the money on his concubines won't dare talk about it, Mum promised my sister and I that she would gather some money and send us to school, I actually know that all hope is not lost but one way or the other I'm not seeing my mom getting those money successful, I don't want to be disappointed so I stopped hoping. I couldn't hold my parents back so we had to relocate, Our new environment was beautiful and quiet, Each house has it gate and a big compound, Our apartment was big and beautiful. When we got there, I thought I would be staying with my sister as have always been but dad insisted that it's a room per person, I was so excited I can't believe I can have a room to myself at 14 years old, my room was painted in pink which happens to be my best colour, I put everything in order before dad called us for a meeting. During the meeting, some instructions were made Known to Myself and Sharon, My dad gave express rules which I find difficult to follow but the punishment provided wasn't something I could play with to so I have to abide by the rules. One thing really made me overwhelmed about the meeting, my dad later agreed that we should study but not in a school, A teacher will be invited home of primary education, even though I wasn't comfortable with it but one said a bread is better than none. Teachers were been invited to our house, my dad make sure the security man is with us during the classes, when I asked him for reasons, he said he didn't trust Male teachers he said they might take advantage of the situation. I found it hard to understand mathematics but my English were solid. I was so happy that I'm finally learning and mum was too. Few weeks after Mr Thomas our English teacher was the only one coming, in which he told us that our mathematics teacher Mr Amos won't be able to come because his mother died. I was so happy about Mr Amos departure at Least I can now have my English language everyday with mathematics, Mr Thomas' class was always fun to be, he made learning easy for me Our few days, Our security man has to travel to his village and my dad also went on business trip but my mum was always with us. One fateful day, While the class was going on My Mum came to inform us that she was going out and would soon be back. Even though Sharon will always tell me how cute Mr Thomas was I Never knew she meant something else, she only told me his voice was cool and calm and I told her that David's voice also sound cool like that, but instead my sister went overboard. After class, Mr Thomas was about to leave and I have to go to my room since the class was over, after few minutes I came out of my room to get a glass of juice when I overheard Sharon and Mr Thomas' discussion. I really don't know what transpired between them I could only gather some information that looks suspicious to me. Sharon: Mr Thomas, but you just said it now that you loved me also. Mr Thomas: I never said I didn't, but at least think about the consequence if your father find out. Sharon: he won't I promise. Mr Thomas: he will, how old are you? Sharon: I'm 18 years old. Mr Thomas: You're really mature than I thought. Sharon: Mr Thomas how old are you? Mr Thomas: I'm 21 Sharon: Thomas, try to consider me you're the first person I will fall in love with since 18 years ago and you're saying nothing about it. Mr Thomas: Okay fine, have heard you. Sharon: does that mean you've accepted. Mr Thomas: yes Sharon: Thank you I immediately sneaked back to my room before I got caught, I really don't know how I feel I'm kind of Happy for my sister but at the same time I'm feeling abit confused about the whole situation. What if dad find out? Will dad not kill Mr Thomas? I'm scared At the same time, I envied my sister she was really brave unlike me who could neither look up to a boy nor confess my feelings to him, then here I I'm now blaming myself for been stupid.
