SHATTERED EPISODE 8

From the writer of

That moment when you find love, trust and honour in the eyes of everyone.
That moment when your worst enemy becomes the demon himself.
That same moment when your best moment becomes your worst nightmare.

Enjoy the thrills of how far life would sacrifice for love. Yesterday is always a shadow you can not escape, today is a dream worth living, yet tomorrow shall forever remain the wonder of nature hidden to all.

A *shattered* past in itself is a shattered tomorrow.


*SHATTERED*

EPISODE 8

I pray he leaves her to join us tonight, I added.
There was a knock on the door. That was my landlady's daughter. That was hasty you know? I would have spent more than necessary hours on my way if I had gone there myself. I rushed to the door, picked the things and thanked her. I tried so hard not to interrupt Atswei's sleep. I quietly picked a plate and knife I placed on the fridge to slice the bread for her.
Ooow! She woke up. The polythene bag was torn so the milk fell out of it. It didn't drop anywhere than the stainless bucket which I had placed there few minutes ago.

The sound alone was enough to wake a corpse. I apologised to her for disturbing her sleep.She appeared lost in thought for the first few seconds but that was short lived. She smiled and sat on the bed. "I hope I didn't spoil your sweet dream, and anyway, a very beautiful morning to you", I said. "No no, not at all. I was only struggling to open my eyes", she replied.
Though I saw her with nothing, I pretensiously asked, "did you come with your sponge and towel?" She shook her head like a 6 months old baby who was being introduced to complementary feeding for the first time. I went into my things and got some old towel and sponge, picked a new brush and took it to the bathroom. Toothpaste, soap and water were already available. I told her to wash down while I sliced the bread. I opened the milk and placed it gently on the table. I was getting tired now. I dressed the mattress and laid on it while she washed down.

We would talk once she was back and making justice to her food, so I would know where she came from and how she managed to get my address.
She didn't keep long at the bathroom at all. I showed her where the cosmetics were so she could make do with them. I pointed out her food to her and told her they were oat and lipton so she could take any. I realised she wasn't okay with it so I told her to take it because that is what we took in the city. There was no time for one to go to the kitchen to get fufu or banku while you know you had limited time to go to work or school. She sat down to take it... Whether she enjoyed it or not, that was her own headache.
