"Eh what is your name"
"You can call me Mia"
They walked up the steps to her room the
boy brought down the items.
" Here take things she gave him a tip for his help
"Um um no need, "he said shyly
" Wow what a nice boy",
"Don't worry take it thanks for your
help".Not waiting for him to refuse open the
door packed th bags inside and locked it.
Setting the things aside she was dead tired
"Knock knock"
The door open, sisi saw a tired Mia
"Here the hot water and your meal".
Thank you she took the things in and locked the door.
A plate of steaming and spicy spaghetti, two
eggs and two bottle water.
Mixing the water in the bathroom had a
quick bath wearing a loose long sleeve
gown, the night wear she bought need to
be washed tomorrow before wearing.
Quickly eating the simple meal, at the Smith
family her meal always consist of four side
dish and a soup with even more most times,
then dessert and fruits. Since afternoon she
hasn't eaten and now very hungry taking
one of the instant noodle using the
remaining hot water following the i
nstructions she prepare the noodle though
not too tasty but edible being her first try.
She lay on the bed after all aclearing up everything and soon slept off.
Ring Ring Ring
"Urgh, stretching out her hand to the phone
on the table close by.
5:30, aah she rolled off the bed.
"
"Ash my butt!
Her watery eyes became misty with tears,
after removing the heavy makeup, a
youthful face filled with vitality, smooth fair
palm size face, big eyes, plump inviting lips,
brown wavy hair, pearly white teeth, shapely
figure the shirt gown accentuate her long
fair legs, a mix of pure and seductive, very deadly.
Quickly washing the clothes bought last
night though clumsy but still neat.
Now what should I wear, being low key she
had refused wearing branded clothes or
custom made trying to be the perfect
daughter but what was all that for, trying to please others.
Now I will be myself doing whatever I want
not caring what others think.
Now now these clothes came handy, most
of her clothes were bought by Anna they
were either too mature for her age, not
fitting, too lose or shapeless, or some
ordered by Summer none of them to her
taste but she had kept them even wearing
them because it was their way to show their
affection, now thinking about it they must
have been laughing her for being stupid,
after her mother's death she had hardly
socialized or had friends during family get
together on new years and festive period,
she always felt isolated not being close to
her paternal relatives unlike Summer, the
last dress she wore was so ill fitting for
normal and putting on the makeup by the
stylist she felt like a clown, and was
reprimanded by father for lacking fashion
sense and style but she had wanted to
rebuff but seeing the pleading look in Anna
eyes restrained herself while Summer was
in the limelight even on their birthdays
which were the same month but different
date were always celebrated together always being in the shadow.
Taking out a washed out blue jean, paired
with white short sleeve top with teddy bear
design, wow looks nice, looking at the
person in the mirror, hair tied in a high bun
with few wavy strands to frame her face,
beautiful palm size face, and plump pinkish
lips, truly a sight to beyond even with plain low grade clothes.
I walk round the bed to the desk, open the
cupboard to take out a transparent makeup
bag, of all her things these were the most
pricey, learning makeup for a year from an
expert just to suit Liam's taste as he said
makeup makes her look mature and more confident.
Tuah hypocrite she sneered
Quickly applying the waterproof makeup,
the once gorgeous face now look so ordinary and common.
Nice, curling her lips into a bewitching smile.
Knock knock
Yea coming, foodsteps could be fainting
heard, the door open from inside, sisi was
standing there with a tray of food covered.
Hello good morning mia
Good morning sisi, she flashed a polite smile.
The girl before her though still looking
ordinary but now look better without those
disastrous makeup especially her smile
making her more beautiful.
"Alright I am going downstairs, if anything
you can give me a call, collecting the tray
from her, turning to lock the door
"Oh one more thing I have just for you, we will see later, she winked at her.
The people here are really idlers
Quickly finishing the meal take out the
jewelry needed to be pawned.
At 6:40 the green bus finally came, with all
manner of people the bus soon filed up.
Sitting at the back she held tightly to her bag to prevent pocket pickers from finding
opportunity.
The bus made its woving through several
streets towards the bustling street different
from the discordant noise in the
slum,workers going to their different offices
Hum she sign with hand out spread greedily
breathing due to strict regulated policy on
environment safety against hazardous
substances, the risk has significantly reduced drastically.
Next bus stop,
"Excuse me, oh sorry she made her way
theough the crowd to the bus door, getting
off crossing the road down the road to a
building for selling and buying low grade,
high rise buildings, gigantic structures for
infrastructure railway design in the air,
transporting people, all manner of
technologies, some student could be seen with different high tech device.
"Hello I want to sell some jewelry could you
call the person involved".
"Good morning miss, I can take your
service, could you show me the items.
"Here you go, handing her blue jewelry box.
Aright spare me some few minutes please you may look aro
und if you want.
Alright though the price items wasn't high
but the large quality and designs were
appealing from jewelries to trinkets,
watches, looking through she chose a silver
bracelet design beautiful life line butterfly.
"Sorry miss for the time waste"
