#6 Olima Begging

1533 Words
Nathan dragged Olima outside from the mansion, and she sobbed and begged him, "Please, sir, don't throw me out. I don't have anywhere to go to, please..." Olima cried, and Nathan replied, "I'm sorry, small madam, but I cannot help you now. You have to leave this house." Nathan was also worried as he didn't know what Olima did. He had seen her when she returned home and ran back into the house, and now she was sobbing heavily as Mrs. Gina ordered him to throw her outside. Olima begged, "Please don't throw me out. This is my father's house. I don't have anywhere else to go to, please." Nathan let go of Olima's hands and raked his short black hair on his head in frustration. He was a dark-skinned man and was of average height too. Mrs. Gina stepped out from the mansion and questioned, "Nathan! Is that witch still outside there?" Nathan stared at Olima in fear and pulled the gate open as he replied, "No madam. I have sent her outside." Nathan wasn't yet ready to lose his job, and he opened the gate and told Olima to leave. Mia stepped out too from the mansion and followed her mother as they walked towards the gate. Mrs. Gina asked, "Then who am I seeing there at the gate that is still standing there with you, Nathan? I said throw her outside now!" Mrs. Gina stepped down from the mansion frontage and rushed out to the gate. She met Olima and Nathan at the gate, and she used both her hands to push Olima outside the house gate completely and said, "Get out! And don't let me see you here again. Else I will kill you myself for daring to poison my daughter and me. Leave!" Nathan frustratingly stood in silence, watching them. Tears flooded from Olima's eyes as she knelt and begged her stepmother, "Please ma, I don't have anywhere else to go to. You cannot throw me out this night. It's late..." Olima cried even as she knew the estate was heavily guarded with security men, but she was still scared of the bad boys lurking around, not wanting them to violate her privacy. Mrs. Gina asked, "And how is that my concern? Why didn't you think of the bad boys living around when you dared to poison my daughter and me? Nathan!" Mrs. Gina called. Nathan immediately appeared by her side. "Yes, madam." Mrs. Gina said, "Lock back this gate, and if I dare see her inside this compound again, I will arrest you both and jail you for attempting to kill my daughter and me. Lock this gate now!" Nathan immediately shut the gate closed on Olima, and she stood up from the floor, rushed to the gate, and banged on it heavily, screaming, "Nathan! Open these gates! Please! Don't lock me out! No!" Olima sobbed as she banged heavily on the gate, but Nathan had already locked it from within. Mrs. Gina said, "Nonsense! Nathan, don't ever open this gate for her again or let her into this compound ever again! Is that understood?" Nathan shakily replied, "Yes, madam!" Nathan was a 35-year-old black man and really needed his gatekeeping job to take care of his family and new wife at home, as he couldn't risk losing his job even as he pitied Olima. He had a pregnant wife at home with two kids, and he sighed and walked back to the gatehouse while Mrs. Gina and Mia went back into the mansion. Mia asked her mother, "Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?" Mia knew that she was the one that had ruined the soup by adding too much salt into the delicious soup that Olima had painstakingly prepared. Mia knew that her mother wouldn't question her if what Olima had said was true, as her mother would always pick her side and flog Olima mercilessly. Mrs. Gina scolded, "Why did you spoil the soup? I know Olima didn't add too much salt into that soup. Do you know how much the soup ingredients cost in the market now?" Mia frowned as she hadn't expected her mother to scold her. Mrs. Gina said, "You will be the one cooking from today onwards as your punishment. Now follow me into the kitchen. You won't waste all the meat in that soup that Olima had cooked. After you've finished removing all the meats one-by-one from the soup pot, then you will wash it out thoroughly and re-cook it tonight. Silly girl." Mia frowned as she followed her mother back into the kitchen. On getting into the kitchen, Mrs. Gina was slightly nervous for throwing Olima outside as it was already 10 p.m. She knew that the estate security agents would question her the following day once they saw Olima outside at that late hour and knew that she had thrown Olima out. Mrs. Gina yelled, "Remove all the meats quickly!" Mia shuddered in fear and started removing the cooked meat from the soup pot after washing her hands thoroughly earlier when she stepped into the kitchen with her mother. Mrs. Gina stood aside, watching as Mia took out all the meats carefully and away from the pot of soup. Until Mia was through, she re-washed the meat again and started cooking it as their dinner. -------- Olima cried and banged on the gate of her late father's mansion heavily, but Nathan didn't pull the gate open for her. She was still in her light blue gown and had been wearing it since morning. She shivered, feeling the cold night wind blowing on her smooth, soft, delicate skin, sending shivers down her spine. Olima's eyes were already filled with hot tears, and she thought to walk up to the estate gate to report her stepmother to the security men standing there. Olima knew that even though she reported her stepmother to the estate security men, it wouldn't change her stepmother's wicked attitude towards her. She wrapped her arms around her chest as she walked up towards the estate gate. She saw two men walking along the other side of the road and calling after her. Olima stared at them and saw them crossing the road as one of them called her, "Hey, pretty lady, what's up with you?" Olima immediately ran away and took to her heels, even as she was barefooted. She ran as fast as her slim legs could carry her body weight. One of the two guys screamed out after her, "Wait, pretty! Where are you running to?" Olima didn't stop nor turn back to look at them as she ran faster towards the estate gate. Even as the estate gate was still far ahead of her, it was already late at night. She continued running and saw a red car approaching her. She slowed down and thought to beg the car driver to take her to the estate gate, as she believed that the car owner would be living around inside their estate too, and maybe be a good Samaritan. Earlier, Justin Robert had gone to one of his favorite hangout places, a club in Lemonhill town, to unwind with the hot young ladies there, but none of them seemed to catch his attention. He was so annoyed for wasting much of his time there by sitting handsomely and watching the strip club ladies dancing seductively and swirling around the pole. He frustratingly stood up and left the club, as all he could think of was the pretty young lady he had seen in the afternoon and finally had the courage to approach her. Justin had been admiring her for a long time, and his blood boiled hot to claim her and make sweet love to her, but she ran away from him like he was a beast. Justin was angry, as ever since he had been seeing a lot of pretty young ladies, none of them had ever dared to reject him or his advances towards them. But the pretty young lady really insulted him and bruised his ego too. Justin is a bad guy, although he was gentle at home and listened to all his parents' requests and bidding. Even though what his parents usually asked him to do wasn't what he wanted to do, he still obeyed his parents and took over his father's real estate business as he's their only child. Justin made a few friends, including Jesse Andrew, who was his driver, even though Jesse was far older than him and also respected him too. Justin was still friendly with Jesse as he saw Jesse like an elder brother that he never had and also someone to confide in when he was totally pissed off. Stepping out from the strip club, Justin ordered Jesse, "Let's go home. I'm just bored today." Jesse knew that whenever Justin told him that he was bored, it simply meant that something was seriously troubling Justin's mind. Jesse asked, "What could be the problem, young master?" Justin stopped and contemplated whether to tell Jesse the truth or not about what was troubling his heart and what his heart truly wanted at the moment.
