Chapter 37

Here I was thinking that I was not going to be interviewed because of how into the dinner he seemed to be. I guess he was just waiting for me to relax before he threw the bomb question so he throws me off balance but I won't let him succeed.

I didn't know if he was angry or not so I sat still contemplating what to do. if to act un-bothered or to make a sorry Face. They both came naturally when I wanted to be deceptive.

"I've been handling something's in school. This semester is really demanding." I lied, like a pro.

"Oh. That's nice." He said looking up. He turned to face me and my heart skipped not knowing what he wanted to say. "Do well my daughter so that you will get a first class you have no reason to get anything less than a first class. You don't do anything here but sweeping occasionally so you have everything that you need. Peace, food and love or am I lying?" He asked and I laughed out, nodding my head in no specific direction.

I didn't know how to tell him that his house was In chaos and I didn't have no peace of mind which was very important. In fact peace of mind in this house came as a luxury.

Luckily for me the seminarian whispered something to his hearing and so his attention was shifted from me.

I finished my food before everyone else because I actually took a smaller portion than the rest plus I eat a bad food the same way I drink liquid bitter medicine. Once and all at once. It was always better to get it all over with as soon as you can.

Sometimes I took a small portion of the food because I wasn't exactly hungry but most times it was because I foresaw the foods tastelessness like today. You need to see everyone's faces as they ate you will think they were eating shit some tried to hide it but it showed in their eyes. It always did.

Soon everyone was done eating and I started clearing the dishes so I could wash them. A conversation about the church was going on but I wasn't interested in joining in. All I wanted to do was to go to my bed and sleep.

After washing the dishes I didn't even wait for a minute_ I rushed our of the Kitchen. Ada wanted to have a conversation with me but I quickly avoided it.

Immediately I entered the room I rushed to where I had left my phone. Picking it up, I pressed the power button and saw that Emeka had called me twice already.

I dropped the phone on the bed and hurriedly picked a gown from my wardrobe. Then I quickly rushed out of the room to the bathroom to take my bath. All the tiredness I had been feeling earlier became Alien to me now.

The thought of seeing him made me hyper.
