Chapter 9

What does he want to prove

That he is taller than me or what .

Or I don't have eyes. I thought as I wash the dishes angrily .

He came back with a wagon of dirty dishes. I looked at him with angry eyes.

" What ? "

" It's not my fault . Next time you won't pour paint on someone " He said laughing

" What's your business " I said already angry

" Actually I'm a multi business man. Am a student,CEO,Chef , teacher ..... " He stopped and looked at my face and burst into laughter .

" Am coming back " He said laughing and he left .

Soon I was through with the mountain of dishes I fall back to the chair.

It was closing hour finally I was through with the wagon . I arrange the plates about to Clean the sink when this mister came in with another pile of plate . I feel like injecting him to sleep .

" I see you are very fast . When you are through with that you are free to go home "

The sound ' Home ' sound scary . I remember the thudding sound from the basement .

What was in there ? or the picture and the caller , the body , the last statement not written in English , or ..

I washed the dishes and left . I took the apron off , took my bag and left for home quick.

Getting to the mansion the gate were opened .

My aunty was sitting down in the living room with eyes wide open . I look at her to be sure if she was sleeping .

" Hello " I waved my hands across her face after staring at her for up to a minute.

" Aunt " I shook her a bit .

Then she came back.

" When did you came in ?

" Few minutes ago " . I thought she said two days time she will be back .

" I thought you said you will be back in two days?

" Yes things are already taken care of so I came back"

" ok how did you get in "

" I have a spare key" No wonder . I need to get rid of that key .

I went inside and drop my bag change into my pyjamas . Dinner was served hot and smell delicious .

We both eat together.

" Aunt "

" Yes dear "

" Yesterday I wanted to dump some few damage furniture in the basement but it was locked"

" oh about that . Next time you can dump it in the garage or the attic " . She emptied her glass of juice.

" Why is the basement locked? "

I shouldn't asked such a straight question but I needed answers . She was startled by my question

" I Missed placed the keys " I know she was lying

" Ok lets finish up is almost bedtime" . She smiled and I know there is something behind it .

We watched a movie and said our prayers and went to our various rooms.

I won't tell her about the call and the message passed across .

I must open that door no matter what.
