Shulamite is a young girl who grew up to be a young mother, she was born Into a family as the only child, her late parents were wealthy people, they made sure she never lacked anything for as long as they could provide it, Shulamite was their joy and happiness, their reason to live on this earth. Her father was a very busy man, he travelled like there was no other business day and one day, on that particular day, there was no other day, the plane had collided with another plane and got blown into dust. This came as a very huge shock for the family, Shulamite' s mother was in grieve for a long time before discovering she was carrying their second child, Shulamite was happy yet she could not tell if she wanted a new sibling, especially after the death of her father, as if life was going to destroy her happiness, her mom dead after bringing forth a new germ into the world.
But would Shulamite consider the child, who took the life of her mother a germ?
Oh yes she did!
The innocent child was named summer, because Shulamite's favourite season was summer.
? Don't you think, you're too old for this poems??
Shulamite asked summer who dropped the book of poems she was reading
☘️ Why's that?, I'm just sixteen ☘️
Summer said giggling, she was going to tease her mummy _ sister that she was the old one here and Shulamite could see it in her eyes that she was going to say something foolish
? What's that? ?
Shulamite asked pursing out her big, bold eyes
☘️ I love you musis ☘️
Summer said hugging Shulamite who smiled broadly as she pushed her away
? Get ready for church and stop behaving like a benin goat?
Shulamite said making faces as she went out of the room. Summer got up taking up her towel going to shower.
Summer came out of the toilet looking pretty, she wore a very beautiful straight red gown that ended on her knees, she walked out to see if her sister was ready, since it was already getting extremely late
☘️ Hello, musis ☘️
Summer yelled moving upstairs as she tapped the door to her sister room which fling open, Shulamite turned to look at her with a smiling face while dragging up the zip to her brown skirt
? Ready, my love ?
She asked while summer shook her head as they made way out of the house. Shulamite would be turning 21 very soon and life had never been easy for her as she was compelled to take up motherly responsibilities at a very young age. She could remember after their mothers death that her uncle's had taken every single thing that belonged to her parents and left her with nothing but a child to care for. She had to fight for their rights knowing they couldn't take everything but it was a very futile move, fortunately for the little Shulamite she remembered a house, a three bedroom flat her Father had built for her a long time ago, even her mother didn't know about that house.
It was just like an ordinary day when Shulamite cried to her dad that she wanted to have a house of her own, her father was very surprised and shocked yet he found it very funny how she could want a house at the age of four, though he knew she was just a kid, he never took anything she said for granted as he went on to build her a three bedroom flat including a car which he showed to her. The young lad was extremely happy and rejoiced, she told her mom she had a house but her mother couldn't believe her , her dad then went on to give her a tattoo which was the address of the house and where the keys were, the other tattoo was the secret code to his frozen account which he knew had millions of money inside.
Shulamite grew up forgetting she had a house, her father usually smiled whenever he told her she had a house and she would laugh at him, just after her Father death, his account were opened but nobody knew the code, not even Shulamite. It was on the faithful day when she stood on the street with infant summer in her hands was when she realized she had tattoo's which she doesn't remember getting, she sat down on the road taking a close look at the tattoo only to discover one of it was a certain 65345 and the other an address. She got up wondering if the address even existed as she took a taxi to the supposed address only to find a very beautiful well kept three bedroom flat, she was quite shocked to the marrow and decided to knock on the door which an old man opened, he told her , her dad kept him in charge of the house untill she came and she's finally here. Shulamite was extremely over joyed and was when she began to wonder if the other tattoo met anything reasonable, her move to figure this out landed her on cash her father had saved for years which was more than a billion.
☘️ Hello.....?☘️
Summer cried out to her sister who was just in deep thoughts, Shulamite quickly wipes off the tears that were about running down through her face as she gave summer her every assuring smile, that one smile that made summer feel complete like she has a complete home
? Let's go ?
Shulamite added getting up while they moved downstairs to meet a few visitors outside, Shulamite was quite surprised, she did tell her gateman not to let anyone into the house except for tenants renting the other two rooms
? Summer go back upstairs ?
Shulamite said to summer who gently went back up the stairs but she couldn't just understand why that guy seated down couldn't stop looking at her and it made her so uncomfortable
?️ We're very sorry for disturbing you this early but we saw the notice for a tenant and thoughts it would be best to come in ?️
A man perhaps in his late forties said rather calmly , Shulamite sat down running her eyes through everyone that sat on the sofa, they looked well off and didn't seem to need her apartments
?️ The thing is my wife is having some issues in the state and I want to join her. These are my boys Ace and Java, this is their nanny, I want to pay for them untill we return ?️
The man said again to Shulamite who now turned to the two boys that were seated on the sofa, one was so engrossed in his phone while the other caught her stare as she looked away
? The rents 150, but we have rules, as you can it's a three bedroom flat, some one is staying at the other room while my sister and I are upstairs, it's against the house rules for anyone to climb up the stairs, the rules are pasted everywhere ?
Shulamite uttered pointing her fingers directly to the wall as one of the boys got up to read the supposed rules and regulations
?️ ( Smiles ), that's my eldest Ace, his actually not going to give you any trouble, his in law academy and loves reading and abiding to laws?️
The man said with happiness in his voice, Shulamite waited after his pause to hear a little about the one seated but nothing came forth, she turned her eyes towards the boy who she thought could be the Java and found him still busy on his phone, Arshad their nanny noticed the stare and laughed
? His Java ?
? Yo!
He said now searing upright as Shulamite smiled
? you ain't no worry, I'll be a good little kid ?
Java said with the sweetest smile as his older brother scoffed
? why?, Are you the only good kid here??
He yelled towards Ace who sat down
? Dad gave me credit but you, everyone knows you're just a spoilt brat ?
Ace said without facing Java
? You takin back ?
He yelled throwing a punch at his brother as the two began fighting. Shulamite had to stand up Before they pushed down her chair
?️ Enough! ?️
The man yelled with a thunderous voice that made summer shake inside her room, both boys were now calm and sat down looking at Shulamite who was trying to avoid everyone's eyes
? We're sorry ?
The little women said as Shulamite smiled
? No worries, they're kids, you can pay anytime into my account ?
SHe said pointing to the wall where her account was pasted
? Must everything about you be on the wall?, Does the wall f**k you too??
He asked no one in particular but grinning with evil smile's as the man cleared his throat
?️ Some day, we'll fly him abroad to get manners ?️
He said as Java went quiet, he may know exactly what his father was talking about and soon she received the alert of 250 thousand, which means they would stay for 2 years
? Thank you ?
Shulamite said giving the room keys to Arshad their nanny who took the keys. She called for summer as they went to church, leaving the new tenant to settle into their environment.
? A Week after ?
Java was outside reading some magazines as the gateman opened the gate , summer greeted the gate man Hosea who was an Hausa man . Java looked at summer as she walked into the compound sweating all over
? Rollen is available ?
He silently said as she turned to face him
☘️ you saying something Mr arrogant!☘️
She yelled putting her hand on her waists as he burst out laughing
? You look like a snake ?
He said laughing more while summer grunted
? Java!?
Ace yelled while he made faces towards his brother that was coming towards him
? I'll leave this place, for the two amphibians ?
Java rattled laughing into the house
? I'm sorry about Java ?
Ace said with a little smile
☘️ It's okay, I Know his brain is missing some screws, I'll fix it properly for him next time ☘️
She said folding her palms
? That'd the nice, Ace Walter white, you??
☘️ summer Green ☘️
Ace shook his head taking a handshake as he went into the house. Summer stumped open the door while Shulamite who was just ready to go out turned to her
☘️ I hate Java !☘️
She yelled throwing her school bag to the floor
?I think Java is a nice boy, he's very straightforward unlike his brother ?
☘️ Wow, wow wow ☘️
Summer said clapping her hands
☘️ That i***t called me a snake ☘️
? ( Laughing ), you'll just have to bear with him ?
☘️ I'll kill him soon, very soon I'll destroy that boy ☘️
Shulamite couldn't help but to laugh out her heart while she located her purse and grabbed it
? you'll do no such thing, his a nice kid, give him a chance ?
Shulamite said leaving the room as summer held her head, what on earth was happening to her sister, that i***t Java would definitely get it from her the next time, he dares to insult her in public.
? BOYS ROOM ?
Arshad took up her bag, she was ready to leave for the market
? Please, boys no fighting ?
?? Love one another like twins ??
They both said aloud while she smiled, she knew too well that she would still hear something when she comes back
? take care ?
She said leaving the room. Both boys sat down facing their own separate worlds as Ace turned to Java
? Don't you think summer is beautiful??
He asked as Java choked on his chocolate
? Beautiful, if she's beautiful then a broom is miss Nigerian, that girl is a dwarf from Mars, one of those black beast ?
Java said as Ace rolled his eyes turning away, although Java lives a very rough life, his not that much interested in women unlike Ace who's got thousand of girlfriends in his law school, Ace would turn nineteen while Java would be seventeen
? I don't know if I should ask her out ?
Ace asked again turning to his brother who was just engrossed in Call of Duty warzone PS4 controller on the television
? you'd say??
HE asked again still without paying any attention to his brother who got up and left the room.
