****************************
*Hard rock music playing*
A blue BMW convertible car speeding along an estate road in a hectic afternoon with two girls dancing to the rhythm of the music playing loud in the car.
The girls ran into a Freya Curtis masked up in a hippopotamus designed dress sharing a flier for business patronage. They both got so excited to see such a dress markup and drives back to meet up with her.
The girls notice she was concentrated on sharing the fliers to passerby individuals in their cars. Freya finally took the mask off her head at some point she got exhausted and wanted to take some fresh air. Then she saw the blue BMW car parked in front of her and both girls laughing at her.
“is that hippo?” the girls screaming to each other in amazement of Freya dress as they reversed backwards to meet her.
They continued laughing at her.
“Hello there?” one of the girl's greats but Freya never bothered to reply.
“What are those in your hands?” she dragged the fliers forcefully away from her.
“No…no…give me back my fliers, it is my cousins place” Freya stammers
“No, you don't know that place. I know the owners of the restaurant and he is not your cousin” the girl replied with a smirk.
“And so what, blah, blah blah” Freya mimicking her styling talking in rage.
“I like your head” the girl snatched Freya's hippocampus head from her.
“No give-me-back, No give-me, give-me”
The girls both begin to pass it around, “There you go, come take it”
“Come on girl be careful, be careful” they girls chuckled at her.
“Stop! Stop! Stop!” Freya blocks the front of the car as they tried to run away with her hippo head.
“Careful hippo”
“stop!”
“Careful hippo”
“I said stop!”
*Laughing at her*
“Give it back to me, just give it back to me” Freya yelled at them.
“Come on, come and get it”
“just give it back to me, give me” Freya stretching her hands to get hold of it.
She eventually dragged it off their hands.
“She got it. See you soon. bye,” they laughed as they drove away.
“Wicked people!” Freya wailed
*Heaving horning from an income car*
Freya turns around and got hit by an oncoming car. She fell to the ground unconscious. The car which hit her immediately drove away before it can be traced. Freya led on the road but eventually got herself back, woke up and began to walk home with pains from the incident.
Freya got to her home, opened the gate tiredly.
And sighed.
She began to move slowly through the passageway.
"The compound is a big one. It has a swimming pool that can be turned into an Olympic size and the behind….."
“Who is there? Who is there?” Freya yelled at the stranger's voice she heard inside her late fathers' mansion.
It is the bank representative who has come to show Freya's fathers mansion to a buyer as to help her oversee the loan her late father took from the bank to build the house since he has not been able to raise the balance to pay off the loan herself.
“Mr banker what is this?” Freya asked surprised at who she was seeing with the banker in her compound.
“Freya, good day to you” Allan the banker greeted warmly.
“This is Randy and his associates. He is a very important client of ours. He has come to look at the property”
“For what? It is not for sale”
“Madam..” Allan paused
“But I have 10 days left to pay back"
“Just where exactly do you think you will find the balance of $18million in 10days?”
“That is my business but I still have 10 days”
“Freya, if by some miracle you find this $18million in 10 days the bank is not going to take it”
“Why?” Freya glared.
“Your father gave us $70 millions and you have managed to give us $12 million with $18 million it equals $100 million, that was the mortgage value of the house when your father built it 30 years ago but today it is valued at over $600 million”
Freya got frustrated and tired to hear that, she thought she had the bank on her side.
“But that is not all bad news for you Freya. Mr Randy here is ready to pay the current mortgage value for the house to the bank and still throw a $40 million cash to you to get yourself together so everybody wins, Ehh! Mr Randy gets his house, the banks gets his money and your get $40 million cash”
“You bankers are all the same. All you cared about is money. No sense of responsibility, family, royalty, nothing! My father died for that bank and all the only thing he cared for more than his family was this house. I will be damned to let you come to have it just like that!”
“So you know what? tell Mr Randy or whatever you call him and that insects beside him that this house is not for sale”
Mr Randy felt very insulted.
“Mr Randy, I am very sorry. I am so sorry, I am so sorry Sir” Allan pleaded on Freya's behalf to him.
“Freya! Freya!” Allan calls her name to get her attention and be cautious.
"Get out" Freya picked up a mob stick to hit at them as she yelled.
“Freya! What is this nonsense?” Allan got stunned at her attitude.
“You have to see yourself out or I will throw your guys out” Freya replied pointing the mob stick to their face. Freya said furiously.
Mr Randy got offended and turned around to leave the compound but his female associate got up to fight Freya as Allan stood aside watching.
“What is it with all these skinny girls? you want to fight me?”
Freya lifted her mob stick to hit her first but she defensively got the mob stick from her and use it to hit her first before slapping her in the face with her kick. They all left the compound after Mr Randy associate had dealt with Freya.
"Did she just slap me with her leg?" Freya staggered to the ground.."Get out!, Go! Ooh my God! so painful a kick"
Freya got inside her house she was so tired about all that was happening to her so she decided to eat, then take a prayer before going to bed for the night.
*Freya singing*
“Just do many things in my life.
Anyhow you like in my life.
Just make sure they are plenty in life.
Ooh, lord!
Just do many things in my life.
Anyhow you like in my life
Just make sure they are plenty in life.
Ooh, lord!
Father Lord!, the hustle is real.
Father, only me. Only I is doing all these things.
See me wearing bush rat dress, see me working in an office. Only me doing all these things.
Lord help me, please!
It is only $18 million, you are more than that.
Thank you.
Ooh! heh! Before I forget.
Husband wherever he is let him not sleep.
He should be calling my name, Freya! Freya! until he finds me.
Send him forth to me, come forth be calling Freya nonstop.
Everywhere you go be calling my name, in your house, in the office be calling my name because I am your wife. I am your wife ooh!
Find me, find me, husband find me!
Amen"
After her tedious prayers, she went to bed that night, hoping her prayers are answered and things will change for good.
