LARAS FAITH EPISODE 3 :::::::::*******: Ijoba Orun, lere oni... Laras phone rang waking her up rudely from her nap. She squinted at her phones screen- Mummy was all she could see. Hello? she said in a sleepy voice. Iwo omo buruku yii, what on earth is your problem? Funke -her mother screamed into her ears. Mummy, is anything the problem? she rubbed her eyes. Nonsense! came her mothers reply. People use what they have to get what they want in life, is anything wrong if I give my only daughter out to a rich family? She sounded aggressive. Lara glanced at her phone screen again in terror, before placing back to her ear. Mummy, If I did something wrong, just tell me... she began to say softly. Do I need to remind you of your deeds? Youve become disrespectful, you no longer cook for your husband, youre even threatening to leave your matrimonial home! her mother queried. But..mum... No buts, Rubbish! And let me remind you, dont just come to my house if your husband divorces you due to your stubborness. her mother shouted again. Lara bit her lower lip. Mum.... the line went dead. She stared at her phone in silence, what kind of life is this? Tony had told her mother fake stories about her. How can her mother be this selfish? She pondered. Hello... Tony intoned behind her. She turned sharply, her eyes widened, how did he get there? So are you ready to turn a new leaf? he wore a mischievous smile. She pursed her lips, fidgeting at her dress. Go make me a mug of choco. he ordered walking out of her room. She swallowed hard, she felt her heart split. She ran her fingers gently on her chest. Its well, Ill survive, somehow, anyhow, one day, itll be over. she whispered to herself as she fought to keep back tears. :::::::::******** Lara wiped her hands on her apron, she pushed the flask of food away from her, before proceeding to peel some plantains. Tony had called her earlier, to make a meal for two, as he was bringing a guest home. Whoever the guest was? She shrugged. She began setting the table when the door bell rang, she rushed to open it. Welcome she said as Tony brushed past her. She turned to look at the guest, she almost mistook the guest to be a male. Good day. Lara said softly. The guest was wearing a trouser suit, she was masculine, her hair cut very low. If not for the earrings, she could be called a male. Hy, the guest said coldly. Errm, Sophy, have a seat, make yourself comfortable.. Tony began to say. Not so fast, wont you introduce me to her? the guest said with a low laugh. Welll...okay..., sophy, meet my Illiterate wife- Lara, errrm, Lara meet my cutie pie-sophia. he chuckled. Sophia laughed out loud. Well Lara, Ive heard alot about you... she extended her hand for a shake. Lara shook her head in pain, she didnt take sophias hand. She began counting her toes. Errm, sophy darling, lets proceed to the dining area, I believe she should have set the table by now . Tony led Sophia towards the dinning room.. Lara watched them from the corner of her eyes, her eyes stung her as tears rolled down her cheeks. Hmm, she cooks well... sophia said eating in mouth fulls. Oh yes! And thats the main reason Im still keeping her, else, she should be in her parents house by now Tony said loudly. Oh sweerie, that was too rude... Sophia laughed. Lara walked lightly into her room, she went on her knees. Is this real? She thought. She felt she needed to talk to somebody. Her mum was out of question, Deji isnt in town for now. She decide to pray, though she doesnt belive in prayers. God... she looked towards heaven. I know you can see all thats happening, do I deserve such treatments? she sniffed. I have no one to talk to, nowhere to go...you are all I have now...my father is no more... she sobbed. I heard you are a father to the fatherless, dont forsake me OLord....help me dear father.... her body shook with sobs. She laid on the hard floor, she liked its coldness, it gave her some sort of comfort. Tony isnt a human being...she thought. He is either a beast or the devil himself. He dared bring his mistress into their home...he knew theres nothing she could do. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 4 TIME: 10Likes,5 Shares,8comments. Oya leggo
