Nana I am just beginning to get used to you and you are leaving already Juliana said as she wept.
I wish I wasn't rude to you when we first met.
I'll miss you Nana.

Believe me when I say Juliana is a drama queen she just has issues with everything.she would cry,laugh, disturb all at the same time.
She can make you love her and still make you hate her with her attitude.

Enough of the crocodile tears madam I don't want the tears to finish today.
If the tears finish today, when I eventually die,what will you shed? blood,?I asked her.

See this bush girl oo
Because I am even crying for you.
You are not serious let me even wipe my tears.
You don't deserve them Juliana answered as she stopped crying.

That's exactly what I wanted.
If I hadn't spoken to her that way,I know she won't stop.

Cry cry baby I said teasing her.
Come to mama, come to mama
I said embracing her in a warm hug.she started laughing.
Stupid girl she said pushing me away.
Yeye girl I said poking my tongue at her.

Lisa had been sitting quietly and just staring at us.
You won't you miss her? Juliana asked her elder sister.
What is your concern with my missing her Lisa asked back.
Aunty no vex oo
Na just ask I ask.juliana replied.

Wait ooo
When did you guys reconcile,?Lisa asked us.
What is your concern with our reconciliation? Juliana asked back.
Aunty no vex oo
Na only ask I ask
And all of us boasted into loud laughter.
This girl's will not kill me I swear.

Soon enough my uncle was done.
We were leaving together with him.
I took my bag and started towards the door with the two girls by my side.

Don't worry babes,I'll be back before you know it I said winking at the two girls who were just staring at me.

Deep within me,I didn't want to leave but I don't have a choice.
I need the money.

We took a cab and soon,we arrived at the gate of a house.
We offloaded and paid the driver his money.

This area is called tumfure.
It's a part of Akko local government but people think that the area is part of Gombe city my Uncle explained.

Follow me he said to me as he walked into the house with the brown gate.
I followed quietly.

We were welcomed by a very slim good looking tall woman.
Have a sit.
Let me bring drinking water for you she said as she started walking towards the direction of where I guess is the kitchen.

No.no need my uncle said standing up.
Actually I am on my way to work
don't want to be late.
This is the girl.her name is Nana
She is really a nice girl you will enjoy your stay with her.

Nana this is Mrs okoro.
She is your new madam
She is the woman you are going to work for.be a good girl.

I'll take my leave he said as he walked out the door.
Let me walk you to the door the woman said from where she was standing.

No need.just don't worry about me I am fine.
Nana take care my uncle said as he closed the door behind him.

The smile on her face  disappeared as soon as uncle was out of sight.
Then I realized that she was not even as pretty as I thought.
ghen ghen........
Nana you are in trouble I thought to myself.
From the Igbo films I watched
All the people that bear  names like Okro,Okon hmm fear them.

The clearing of throat brought me back to my senses.
I turned to the woman.
I am Mrs okoro as your uncle introduced.thats all you need to know.

Follow me.i slowly stood up and followed her.
She took me round the house, showing me all the places I need to know.
Finally,at the backyard she opened a door that belongs to a room looking like a dog house.
I thought she would say this is the dogs house.
This is your room.
What!?
I said this is your room.you and your belongings will live here.
I don't want to see you near my sitting room unless you are called to serve food.

How much is my pay?I asked.
30k.she answered.
If you don't want the money, you can leave.

I stood there staring her from head to toe.
I noticed that she had almost all the rainbow colours on her skin.
Yellow, black brown, white,pink,red....... name them.
She wore a purple wig that made her look like masquerade.
She also put on artificial eye lashes and long nails too.

chai I am dead I told myself.
Nana you are dead.

My first day was okay.
I did my work and went straight to my room.
Later that night,I realized she had a husband.he came home all drunk and began to beat her up.

I just stayed quiet in the small room I cleaned earlier.
I can manage I said to myself and drifted to sleep.

The rest of my days in that house were terrible.i was just waiting for the end of the month to come so I would collect my money,run away and never return..

There are days when she would beat me up and lock me up for days without food.
My body will hurt with bruses on me but still yet I had to work.
Just the three of us lived in that compound but the work in the house is just too much.

I would work from morning till evening and only eat when am done with all the work in the house.

My body was now full of scars.
I had suddenly become so lean
My hair unkept,most of my clothes were now faded and torn.
I can't do this anymore I told myself as I walked straight the sitting room.

What do you want useless witch?
She barked.
It's the last day of the month I replied.
So?is that why you came here as if you want to fight me?
Am asking you.
Will you not answer me?
Don't you think that I know today is the last day of the month? you want to show me that you know abi?
Madam I too know
Your Sabi Sabi is too much.

Take, Take your money before you swallow me she said as she pushed the money in her hands into my mouth.

I pushed her away, picking the rest of the money that were lying on the floor.

I stormed out of the living room.
I need to run away this night.
I can't continue,I can't I said to myself as i walked to my room.

At about 8:00pm,I was done with all the house work.i served her and her husband dinner and walked back to my room.
Time to escape.i slowly began to walk towards the gate making sure no sound came from the steps I took.

Where do you think you are going ?I turned to see her standing at the door.
You want to escape abi?so that your uncle will think that I am a bad person.
Come back here
But I already started to run.
I said come back here she said chasing after me.
No,no I won't.
I opened the gate and continued
to run towards the main road.

She kept coming after me.
I was too occupied with running that I didn't see the car coming.

There was a loud sound,
I saw myself lying on the floor with blood all over me.
There was pain all over my body
but the car didn't stop.
The car that hit me didn't stop.
I saw people rushing towards me shouting and saying other things I didn't understand.

I am going to die.
Nana you are going to die I heard a voice say in my head.
I slowly closed my eyes.
Everything went blank.
