CHAPTER 155

Nelly looked at Vivian filled with lots of regrets. She felt that she could have understood Vivian the same way that she understood Ruth a while ago. That was why she understood the fact that Ruth did not need any blood transfusion. The only thing they needed was to find the person who had planned everything with the doctor. 

" I am not here to laugh at your misery. I am here to tell you that I am ready to release you from Mambo cell since I am going to be the new case manager. Something bad has happened to Ruth and I really think that she needs your help. She needs blood transfusion and maybe you can be a match" said Nelly a bit sad.

" Why would I help a woman who has always seen me as nothing else but her enemy? Why don't you understand that the only thing I need is to stay here? I cannot help Ruth. Let her die if she has to die" said Vivian who signalled to Nelly to leave. 

" Fine! I understand how you feel Vivian. Maybe you are right. I don't have to do anything to get you out of mambo cell. This was a good chance to prove to everyone that you can change and become a good person. So! If I were you,  I would think very carefully about this. I would think whether I want people of this town to continue to hate me or a good life sorrounded with people who love me for my good deeds. Please send one of the mambo cell guards to the mansion if you decide to change your mind" said Nelly who looked at Vivian then smiled.

Nelly did not understand why it was hard to change Vivian's mind and way of thinking. She immediately left to the mansion. As soon as she arrived at the mansion, she was astonished to see Akeshia sitting at the balcony. This was not really good for a person who was a visitor. 

According to the rules of mambo town, Akeshia would have been taken to the guest cell.Nelly felt that Akeshia could not have been sitted at the balcony if Ruth did not plead with Ryan to allow her to stay at the mansion. Nelly immediately went to the balcony filled with lots of anger. 

" What are you doing here?" Asked Nelly angrily as soon as she arrived.

" I am here to sit and relax. Don't I have the right to do that as the guest of this house? Do I have to be guided on where I should go and where I should not? Maybe Ruth wanted to revenge to me this way and that is the main reason why she allowed me to stay in this mansion" replied Akeshia angrily.

" No! I did not mean it that way. You can stay anywhere in this house as long as you want to. I will not interfere with anything. I am sorry for trying to be harsh towards you" said Nelly in a pellucid voice who left. 

Nelly felt that if she continued harrasing Akeshia then Akeshia would go to the hospital and shout at Ruth. She also understood that every rules in each community was different. That truly meant that Akeshia was doing everything according to her community rules. 

Nelly immediately went to her room and locked the door. She therefore went towards the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror which astonished her as soon as she saw Tere behind her on the reflection at the mirror. She turned behind her but did not see Tere anywhere around.

This made her to be filled with lots of fear who left the room. She ran towards Akeshia at the balcony. 

" Aunt! I think Tere is in this house.  I am very afraid of her after everything that she did to Ruth. That woman has no conscious at all" said Nelly a bit tensed.

" You must be halucinating things little girl. Maybe you have thought about Tere too much and that is the main reason why you feel like her presence is everywhere around this house. You have to be a good girl and stop thinking about Tere. You can go back to your room" said Akeshia who smiled and signalled to Nelly to leave.

Nelly immediately left the balcony and went back to her room. This time she was astonished to see Tere seated on top of the bed. Tere immediately stood and went to lock the door. 

" Didn't you have any other person you could have run to in this house Nelly? Lawrence and Faith are in the house too right? I must tell you that my mother-in-law Akeshia never used to take things seriously and will never take things seriously. I hear you are the new case manager and you are the only one who understands Ruth. You understand the fact that Ruth is not suffering from leukemia and does need any blood transfusion which is the truth yet nobody will listen to you because they all choose to listen to my words. I want Ruth to get married to Ryan soon" said Tere laughing annoyingly.

" I am not the one to decide on their fate. If you think you can make my life miserable the way you made Ruth's life miserable then I believe that you must be mistaken. People like me don't easily allow themselves to be diminished by minor thinkers like you" said Nelly at Tere laughing annoyingly. 

Tere got angry and went towards Nelly trying to slap her but Nelly resisted. She therefore hit Tere instead and threw her on top of the bed. This made Tere to widen her eyes in disbelief. Nobody had ever challenged her like that before. This was simply because Ruth often used to challenge Tere by word of mouth or by plans that truly used to dispose Tere's worst plans and destroy her image to everyone and the public as well. 

The only thing that Ruth failed to do was to fight for Purist and Martin but rather decided to let Tere defeat her.

" You have no right to push me so carelessly like this Nelly. You little baby of this family. I think they treasure you too much that is why you feel that you've got such tough guts" shouted Tere at Nelly. 

" I have the right to do that. First of all, you entered my house without permission. Then you came to my room and locked it from the inside as soon as I entered. You therefore commanded me that Ruth must get married to Ryan soon. Why then should I not slap you? What makes you different from other weak ladies in the society? You are always weak and that is why you usually want to do everything you do in your life wickedly" shouted Nelly at Tere. 

" Wow! This little girl thinks that she has a lot of courage and does not fear me. I will prove to her that I am not that kind of a person who fear everything but get out with whatever I want. You must make that wedding happen. You and only you" said Tere as she stood up from the bed and pointed at Nelly.

Nelly angrily went towards Tere and pushed her towards the wall using the finger that Tere had pointed at Nelly. Nelly therefore kept strangling Tere on her neck using her arms but later on stopped since she felt that she would do a mistake of killing Tere which had serious consequences in her community.  

" Now you understand the fact that you can never belittle anyone in this world. I maybe a little girl but I know how to make someone crawl at my feet. Ruth underestimated me during the war thinking that I could not fight but she had idea that I was a skilled warrior and that is the main reason why I decided to stay at home. I wanted to protect my family members who stayed back at home during that day but things changed. Somebody hit me on the head and that was how that person was able to hurt grandma , aunt Naomi and me" said Nelly filled with lots of confidence.

" I am going to leave but I will be back for you as soon as possible. No one dares to defeat Tere Tupfer. The once legal wife of the owner of the closer gates" said Tere who covered herself and opened Nelly's room the door. 

She wanted to escape through the living room but saw Faith seated on the couch. She knew that Faith would be suspicious of her but still decided to pass.

" Tere!" Said Faith as soon as she saw Tere pass.

Tere did not bother to look at Faith but rather left. Out of curiosity, Faith decided to go to Nelly's room in order to confirm whether her suspicions were true or not. As soon as she arrived, she found that Nelly was asleep which was something that seemed unusual. She silently left the room. 

Nelly on the other hand slept simply because she knew that Tere would pass by Faith at the living room. That would make Faith suspicious who could come to her room to ask her a lot of questions which she did not want to answer. Yet she felt that she had a plan. A plan that would ruin Tere for good. A plan that only her was the only person involved privately.

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
