POOR LITTLE RICH ME.

Re-assassinated and re-born

I had ensured that i showed enthusiasm towards this trip, therefore they didn't suspect i was up-to  speed in this game. My age didn't matter anymore, what mattered is my family was somewhere out there because of the reasons best known to these people and God knows who else, i was going to beat them in this game, no way was i going to join them or give them the last laugh,no matter how long it took.

Immediately i boarded the plane, i headed to the washroom and changed from jeans to a floral summer dress & a big hat (yes you guessed it right, i stole from "aunties" collection) the clothes i had, i put them in a woven bag, traced my seat and placed them in the space provided  above and locked it(while leaving the house, she had pinned a personalized gift on my hoodie told me every time i look at it, i should remember that she loves me as her own..... what the... what did she just say? after making me one of her house help and ensuring my identity was scrapped, therefore i was to disappear without trace, but anyway i was a notch high in technology and i knew it was a tracking chip, so even now i know they were on their phones tracking me and they think am now settled ready for take off, they were in for a rude shock) Immediately i exited using the back door, thankfully someone had engaged the hostess and she didn't notice me, i quickly but confidently climbed down the stairs and hid inside the "stairs" lorry, luckily behind the drivers seat was plenty of space where i fitted together with my luggage, even the heavens was coordinating with me, now i had to wait till local airlines arrives because that was the only way and easiest of getting "back" in the country since they didn't check passport, compared to internationals arrivals, thank heavens for the traveling exposure i had, i knew how to differentiate the local and international planes.

However these local ones seemed to take ages i almost dozed off, then i heard someone converse in Swahili (thankfully had now learnt, though i wasn't really fluent in it,i understood most of the words) The driver was told to take the stairs that they were going to use that one since there was, "plane traffic" this is lady luck smiling on me, best thing when he positioned it, he alighted probably he went to help his colleagues with off loading luggages. i waited for few minutes, then peeped outside and when i was sure it was clear i alighted very fast, waited for a while then joined a certain family with several kids, i started conversation with one who looked like my age mate, how the flight today was rough, there were several turbulances , experience is great because i responded as if i was in that flight, bearing it landed from the coastal side, i was dressed rightfully but there was no way i was going to remove the hat and the sun glasses. I got "back" in the country without any drama, i had to bid my five minutes old friend goodbye they were picked in two vehicles, she had asked me where i was going and i told her my driver was coming to pick me.

when they left i was stranded, didnt know where or how to board public vehicles or where they went but airport was the last place i needed to be because i didnt know if my escort had left, i observed for few minutes and realized, there was some long buses that people were boarding, i tried my luck and got in occupied a seat and the vehicle started moving, i had no idea where it was headed, at some point someone came to my seat and asked me for some cash, i thought it was a beggar though this must be a very sophisticated one, i gave him two hundred and suprisingly he gave me change!! how ? anyway i just told him to keep it, had forgotten that i was no longer the Angelica from the rich family, i should have taken it because what awaited me, i wasnt ready for it. people were alighting and getting in at different stops but i didnt know when i was supposed to alight, but before long, it came to a stop and everyone alighted, i was still sitted confused by the so many people i saw, its like the entire country had a meeting, what was i to do, the guy who had asked me for money came to where i was still sitted and told me that was the final destination, he realized i looked confused but that once landed me in trouble.

So i told him, there is a park nearby, where am supposed to be picked from and i seem to have forgotten its exact location (not that i had gone there but i guessed in a big city there must be a park), he offered to take me and i was greatful, he carried my hand luggage and held my hand, i have never walked in the midst of so many people like this, they walked carelessly and some even hit someone as they walked, it was so disgusting, crowded and i didnt like it but had to endure it.

After a few turns he took me to the entrance asked me if i had a 20 shilling coin, which were the charges, i looked at him and requested for my bag to check but he offered to pay for me, then he told me, "young madam, my advise is if you have anything of value in this bag put it in a smaller bag that will always be on your back. since i felt i was safer with him, i requested him, if he could stay with me as i do so, so he paid and got in the park with me, identified an empty bench under a shade and told me we occupy that one. immediately we were settled,i opened my bag and removed the backpack, which was the only thing i had from my previous life, took the documents had stolen from "auntie" he saw the writting on the top and asked me if i knew  anyone from that company, i pretended like i didnt because recent events taught me not to trust anyone, i told him i had no idea what the cover meant its just an enveloped i picked up somewhere, he gave me a look that said he didn't believe me but i smiled at him. After separating the most important items including the new passport with my new identity, he told me he had to leave that his bus was almost boarding passengers, he asked for my name that's when i realized that i hadn't even memorized my new identity, so i fished the passport from the bag and showed him, he laughed slightly at this and then bid me goodbye. immediately he left i checked the name and i almost dropped, from my beautiful name "Angelica" they now called me Helena? of all the names there are but anyway, it was just a name and i decided to even change it again i called myself, Alice and with that i tore that passport, bidding Angelica and Helena goodbye and now i embraced Alice, now i was like Alice in the wonder land. after thinking of how many times i had changed my identity, it felt like i had been re-assassinated and re-born... I stayed for quiet sometime thinking of how my life had really taken a huge change and i was hungry but didn't know where to get some food. i decided to lie on the bench as i figured out my next move, with my back pack on my back, i placed my head on the suitcase and before long i was deep asleep, this i attributed to waking up early and the events of the day, i really needed a shower but i had to endure it.

I don't know for how long i was asleep, i heard someone calling a Helena nearby, i didn't bother, so i continued sleeping but then someone shook me and i was so shocked, when i opened my eyes at first didn't realize where i was but after seeing the person who woke me up, reality came back very fast, it was the same person who brought me here, was this person following me or was he a guardian angel? After sitting down he asked me, if i had eaten something and told him no, he asked if i had a phone , to which i told him i did but i accidentally blocked the sim, he asked me for the phone and told me to wait for him, he was gone for quiet sometime but he eventually came back, he had carried some food and now the phone was on, he told me he had to register a new line for me which was under his name once i got back home, i should discard & have them replace my old number, i was greatful to him, he then handed me the food which was hot and delicious, i was starving and without thinking i ate like a starved rabbit. He was still seated next to me, i asked him whether he was done with work and he told me not yet but at that time traffic was heavy so they usually take time, he went to the park office, i saw him writing something down on a paper he borrowed and brought it to me, he had written his name, number and vehicle registration number, he told me whenever i traveled that i could always call him since he plied the airport route. I thanked him and before leaving he asked me if i was sure i was fine to which i assured him i was , also assured him i was going to be picked any time from now and with that he left, though i had known him for just few hours, when i saw him going i felt shuttered i felt as if my world was coming to an end but i didn't know who to trust and who not to. It was now getting dark, i didn't know where to go. Then i heard a phone ringing, i was wondering why was the person answering his phone then it just occurred to me it was the phone that i now owned, but who was calling?
