CHAPTER122:IN NEED OF A MAID.

Early in the morning Mish was surprised to see Ivana and Paul treading.She opted the press conference that Paul held, she had tears in her eyes after she have watched it. The way Paul said that Ivana is his ex-girlfriend the mentioning of Luhyahood dream company, made her burn with fury. Although they were not in talking terms with her cousin, she knew Ivana too well,she knows the extent she can go.

Without wasting any other time, she went to the bathroom and took a shower very fast. She dressed and existed the door.

She met her dad, Mr Mukhongo who was very surprised to see her awake at that time. "Where are you going Mish, you seem to be in a hurry" he asked her.

"I am going to visit Ivana dad, she needs someone right now."

"Why?what happened to her?" Mr Mukhongo asked wearily.

"Nothing, it's just that have you seen the press confress that Paul had yesterday? She had the audacity to say that Ivana is his ex- girlfriend and not even wife" she said.

"So what are you going to help her with, that's their own problem Mish. Who knows they might be clout chaser, you can't be involved in married people"

"No dad something is fishy, I don't understand how Paul had the audacity to say like that, even if they are clout chasing, that's was extremely bad. Besides that, l think it's a high time l seek Ivana's forgiveness. She is my one and only cousin" she said then walked passed him.

She decided to take a taxi because she didn't feel like driving. And they have only one drive, who was supposed to drive Mr Mukhongo to wherever he was going that day.

Although Mish was so scared to face her cousin, remembering all the hurtful things she said to her. She can't say that she said it to her out of anger because she went to an extent of blocking Ivana not to attend her mother's memorial mass. Just because she thought that Ivana was to be blamed of her mother's death. She was looking for someone to blame.

She never apologized to her, she went on to call her mansion. The mansion she was living in too, a haunted house,yet here she is going back to the haunted house to seek for forgiveness. She wipped away the tears when she remembered what she said to her.

If only she can reverse time, she could have kept quite and blame her inwardly without pointing out figures, especially to her. Someone who have been very generous and kind.

She alighted at the gate of the mansion,after  paying the taxi she stood outside the gate almost for fifteen minutes. She was contemplating on what to do. Mish was not ready to face Ivana, she was even embarassed to think about it.

She was turning back, she was ready to return back to her home when Milka spotted her over the face. She was sweeping the compound and she had spotted Mish when she had alighted from the taxi and pretended not to have seen her.

She have been observing Mish closely and wanted to know why she was taking long to ring the door bell. So when she turned to walk away Milka called out her name.

"Ma'am Mish, is that you?" She asked.

Although Milka didn't like Mish, she had to ask her because she might be having an important information. To her Mish was so prideful and someone who looks down on people.So Mish halted in her steps and turned to look at Milka who had run to open the gate.

"Aah, yeah I was about to ring the bell but decided not to because l didn't want to wake you up you people" She explained to Milka who was amazed with the transformation that Mish had gone through. She was talking politely, not the way Milka was used to her talking.

"No, don't worry we are already up, as you can see l am already done with sweeping the compound" she said as she looked at the compound.

All these time Mish was still standing outside, she was so scared to step in. If not being scared, Mish was embarassed with the things she had said before.

Unfortunately for them, Ivana come outside the house. She was looking for Milka to prepare her fresh mango juice because that's what she was craving for that morning. She spotted Milka talking to someone outside the gate.

Back at her mind she thought that ,it might be a person looking for a job. Since she was starting to become heavy and lazy. She wanted to add one maid that will be helping her with chores. She didn't want to risk her life and life of her baby, since she was having a high risk pregnancy.

"Hey Milka good morning?"

Milka hadn't spotted her so she was startled when she heard her call her name. She turned to look at her then responded.

"Good morning too Ivana" 

"Hey Milka don't tell her that l am the one outside here" Mish murmured from outside.

"Who are you talking with?"Ivana asked.

Since Milka was not prepared for that question and she was not good at lying she hestated to answer her. Ivana was still standing at the veranda of the house.

"If she is looking for a job why can't you welcome her, l am in need for a maid Milka, you know my situation now" Ivana chuckled as she caressed her tiny baby bump.

She started walking towards the gate and that's when Milka found her tongue,"actually it's no one Ma'am Ivana, l was just looking outside" she said, bit unfortunately for her, her voice refused to cooperate with her and in returned betrayed her. Because her voice come out trembling unsual for her.

Ivana knew that she was lying or trying to cover for someone. So she kept on walking towards the gate
