James.

I really had no intentions of going out to look for her but the more I tried to forget her existence,the more I saw her in my thoughts.
I became restless, confused and helpless.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I've never wanted something so bad in my life talk more of going after it.

I briskly walked to my car while offering her mum a ride home.
At first she declined saying the house was close by but I had to persuade her to come along with me so I could drive her home.

Nana and two younger girls which I assume are her sisters
Due to the resemblance, said they had allot to clear up but they'll come right behind us on foot.
I knew she didn't want to be anywhere near me...I don't blame her.
I was all bad ass on her the first day we met.
I screwed up from the very first start.....I guess I have allot to make up for.


Just turn to the right and we are there her mother pointed out.
Okay ma I answered before turning to the right.
You can park there she said pointing to the frontage of an old building.
Soon enough I had parked and her mother was already out of the car before I could offer to help open the door for her.
Don't worry..
I'm fine she said as she made her way to open the door belonging to the compound.
Come in  she offered and I obeyed.
She opened the door to the house offering for me to come inside but this time around,I said I'd be fine outside.
Okay let me get you a chair she said as she walked towards a brown old wooden bench.
No no it's fine I can get it I said as I quickly went to grab the bench from her hands.
She simply smiled at me and said okay... make yourself comfortable I'll be out soon she said as she walked inside.

I kept the bench, brought out my handkerchief, cleaned the bench and sat down.
As I sat quietly,I couldn't help but take note of my surroundings.
Is this where she lives?
She also has two sisters.
Where is her dad?
Does she have any brothers?
How do they manage to survive in a place like this?
But one thing I noticed with her and her mom is that they both look beautiful and well packaged.
The younger ones not excluded.
One would hardly believe that her mum is married and has three daughters to look after.
Another thing that amazes me is how they behave.
From the outside, you will hardly know that they are struggling cause they are all smiles and laughter.
What's up with this Nana of a girl that I find myself wanting to know more about her?



Hello!
The voice of the young girl made me jump out of my head.
Sorry I was in my head I didn't notice you guys are here already.
No need for apologies the girl said while smiling at me.
She sat beside me on the bench.
After a few minutes of silence,she forwarded her hand to me and said.....I'm  Nina and that's my younger sister Mima.
Nice to meet you I said while shaking her hands and I am
James she completed for me.
How..... how did you know that?I asked.
She gestured to me to bring my ear closer and I did.
She always talks about you.
She whispered into my ear.
Who?I asked.
Nana she replied.
Really?I asked.
Yes ooo but don't tell her that I told you or else she will deal with me.
Promise?
Yeah promise I replied while smiling and we shook hands again.
Smart girl I thought to myself.




Nina would you leave that place before I slap you came her elder sisters voice.
Bye she said as she jumped off the bench.
I'd better get going before big sis swallows me.
From the way Nana was staring at me,hmmmmmmmmm
Someone would think I killed her father.
Soon she walked towards me with a small tray containing pure water and a canned malt.
She smiled at me but I knew that the smile was not from her heart.
Here sorry we don't have cold water hope you can manage?she asked.
Never mind I'm not really tasty I replied.
She silently kept the tray and walked into the house.
Immediately, her mum came out with a plastic chair and sat in front of me.


When I saw the serious look on her mother's face,I couldn't find the words to use and worst of all,my voice betrayed me.

You said you were here to see me she asked.
Yes ma.
Alright I'm right here she said.

I'm s.o.r.ry ma I'm James Alexander....I...
I know who you are.
My daughter worked for you.
She told me everything.
Yes ma but while she worked for me,we were not really in good terms I announced.
Really?
She didn't mention that to me her mother replied.
Ohhhh errrr I stammered as I scratched my head.

Mr James can you just go straight to the point?her mother asked.
Yes ma I replied.
Ma the thing is that I want her back.
I mean ......I want her to work for me.

You want my daughter to work for you?why?
The question caught me unaware.
I.....I....i.really just want her to work for me.
She is very hard working and..........I.... really....
My siblings like her very much and they miss her.
We grew fund of her and she just left without saying goodbye to them.
Her mother looked at me very hard as if looking for faults from my face.
I started sweating and I became very nervous.
It was as if I was on a hot seat.

She sighed and spoke up.
Look young man.
I love my daughter's so much and I promised myself not to give any if them out to any stranger especially Nana.
As you can see she is a young beautiful girl growing up.
I don't want to expose them to the dangers of our present society.
All I want is to be able to protect and provide for them until they become independent women.
James you have a sister right?
Yes ma.
Good.how would you feel if someone outside molest's her,take advantage of her or even rape her?
Can you assure me the safety of my daughter?
Can you guarantee that she would be free from molestation in the comfort of your home?
Am I even sure that you would not be the one to hurt her?


I could feel her mother's pain from where I was.
If I were in her shoes,I'd feel the same way she feels about giving my children to someone I barely know.
Now I began to wish I never came.
If you ask me how I got here? it's a long story.
One thing I'm sure of is that if I didn't come, I'd regret it.

She was once hit by a car her mother declared.
At the mention of that,my heart leapt and once again,I started to sweat profusely.......
Really?I asked in a voice that was barely a whisper but I know she heard me.
What if she died? what if my daughter didn't make it?
And guess what..hmm.
The rascal didn't even stop neither did he give a glance to the poor girl fighting for her life her mother told me.

I couldn't take it anymore.
Tears began to stream down my cheek.
If only she knew......
If only they knew..........

____ ____ _____ ____ _____ ____  ____

Flash back.

Speaking of her,I said I have something to tell you and you didn't care to ask my brother said.
Sorry I forgot I said as I closed my laptop signaling to Julian that I was all ears.

My guy wahalla dey ooo
What do you mean by wahalla dey I asked him.
You won't believe me if I tell you he replied..
Mr Man talk now
Which one is I won't believe if you tell me?
What is it?
Alright then he answered.
I'm sorry to announce to you that the girl you hit that evening on your way from Jessica's house has been found.
Really? but I was told she died.
Yes two accidents happened that day but the other girl died he told me.
How sure are you that the other girl is not the girl I hit?
I'm very sure infact I'm positive he told me.
Hmmmm I sighed.Thank God she didn't die.
I don't have anyone's innocent blood on my hands.
You said she has been found who found her?
Me he replied.
You?how?I asked.
It's a long story besides,I have my ways he replied.
Alright so where is she?
She left this house one week ago he answered.
What!!
My heart Started beating faster.
You mean the girl I almost killed is Nana.
Yes bro you got it right and all through her stay, you have been nothing but rude to her he said.
Wait why didn't you tell me?I asked angrily.
Because I didn't know how to to tell you.
I didn't even know how you would react or how she would react if she knows about it cause I also avoided her by all means.any time I see her,I feel guilty he replied.
She worked in one of my friends house before she came here.
He told me about her and since from then,I had been stalking her but I was surprised the they we met.
I didn't want to take any chances so I gave her your card.
She was the one who called that day when you caught me with your phone.
She was looking for a job so I immediately offered her a job to work for us that's why she worked here.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you all this James but am telling you now because I can't hold it anymore.
James you need to make it up to her were his last words before he walked out of my room.


I was so dump founded and speechless but his words kept repeating itself in my head.
You need to make it up to her James.
You need to make it up to her.
I need to make it up to her
The question is how?

End of flashback..............

_ _ _ _______ _______ _______ ________

I kept sobbing and this time around,her mother was the one comforting me.
I've never imagined crying in front of anyone apart from my family but here I was
being comforted by the mother of a girl I almost got killed.
I'm sorry for being too emotional ma I said as I whipped my tears with another handkerchief.
Sorry about the bad incident ma
I promise to protect your daughter for as long as she is with me.
I won't let anything bad happen to her if at all it happens, hold me responsible.
Don't make promises yet my dear her mother said while tapping my back.
One more thing.
Yes ma I answered.
She must go back to school.
Yes ma she will.D
o you mean she can now work for me?I asked.
Hmm I'll have to ask her first her mum replied.
Okay ma I'll be on my way.
You can give me a call to come pick her when she decides.
Alright James she replied.
Good night ma.
Good night James.

As I walked to my car,I kept thinking.... what can I do to make it up to her?
I couldn't even tell her mother talk more of her.
I don't want her to know cause if she does, she will hate me and I don't want that to happen so I'll just play cool.
