Who took the money?

Meanwhile my uncle with curiosity of discovering what was in the safe that was in their room ,he had called the locksmith to come and open the safe.

After awhile madam Rose and the family come back, so did her Husband.

A knock was had at the door. I rushed to open, it was the locksmith.

Your welcome. I said". Ohh..l didn't expect you to come so fast. Said uncle Tom while smiling". I also didn't expect to come this so soon. Replied the blacksmith.

Please this way. Said my uncle while showing the direction of his room.

How long will it take you to unlock the safe, asked uncle Tom ". Few minutes. replied the blocksmith. Few minutes later the safe was opened. My uncle expected to find money or important documents in the safe.

What's the meaning of this? Shouted uncle Tom after seeing an empty safe. What's the problem? Asked the blacksmith.

Nothing, thanks once again you can leave now l will transfer your money later. Said uncle Tom in disappointments.

Where's that witch of a woman? Screamed uncledTom". Where's she? , where's she! Come out here! he said while heading to the boys quarter.

Why are you shouting.said my mum" with alower voice".

You witch, where is the money and the documents that were on the safe?, hyeee! Before l close my eyes and open l want to see the things that were in the safe. Yelled uncle Tom.

Wait what again did you say you pleased in the safe? Asked my mother in amockingway. But wait , do l live in the same house as you ? If not then go ask those who stay with you. She said.

Well woman don't dare me, or else! Or else what interapted my mum". Am sick and tired of all the humiliations from your and your family, you took our properties,it was not enough you come for the only thing that we had been left with and that was our family house, why don't you then just kill us to quench you greediness, yelled mum angrily.

How dare you speak to me in that manner? Yelled uncle Tom".

I will speak to you in any manner l want ,your not worthy my respect. Replied mum"

Okay l see you have grown wings, by the time l cut off those wings you will kneel down and beg me like a dog that you are. Responded uncle Tom.

Immediately ihe call 999 and report theft.

Hello.. OC ,l have a theft case at my home, please come immediately. He said ".

Few minutes the police car had arrived in our compound.

OC you see this woman and her daughter broke my safe and took my money worthy a million. Said uncle Tom".

Your under arrest for trespass and theft, you shall remain silent or any word you say can be used against you in the Court of law, said one police man .

Since we didn't want trouble and we also knew that there's no evidence , it made us not to worry about it.

We were taken by the police.

You over there it's time to write the statement, said the O.C". What statement do you want us to write. I asked", we didn't steal anything from anyone and Mark you that's our home if there's someone you need to arrest is uncle Tom. I said angrily

Young lady mind your manners,said the O.C" . For your own information we are not writing any statement till a concrete evidence is provided otherwise....other wise what the O.C disrupted me"

Otherwise l will sue for bribery. And l have evidence, didn't my uncle transfer to your account money for making us to talk. I said with a smiley face, for you own information,that account is my dads and it's under my names so l have the transaction slip, l said proudly". And least I l forget lwe need to get out of here in two hours or you loos your job. I threatened him.

With a gloomy face the O.C immediately freed us and we went back home.

Mum is it a good idea to go back to that house .l asked ". My daughter we have unfinished business there. She replied". What again l asked "

"There's an ATM in that house hidden it has some money, the amount l don't know". She said

So that's a new mission again, so where exactly did you keep the ATM. I asked out of curiosity". It's inside the pillow and all you need to do is to pour water in the pillow while cleaning and they will give you to dry it outside.she said

Meanwhile we had to first trek back to the house.

Aaaah! The witch and her daughter are back , you even managed to make the O.C to release you with you charms, Aaaaaaah! Said uncle Tom.

We ignored him and treked to our room only to find it scattered, it was uncle Tom and wife's doings.

Mum we have to keep this money in a safer place. I said" but where is the safest place? I asked". Where they least expect. Replied mum. But first let's know the amount. She said".

We could the money and you can't believe how much it was .

Mum it's one million shillings,and my saving is four hundred thousand shillings totalling to 1.4 millions .l said while crying tears of joy.

We need a house. Said mum". This money is enough to buy small house so we don't have to rent. I replied. Now where are we going to keep this huge amount of money? I asked" . Let divide in two in case of anything, l shall put half of the money inside my pillow, as for you make ahole in the middle of the mattress then insert the money there, no one will imagine of such a place. Said my mum.

I wander where this fool is right now. said Madam Rose ". Evaaaa! Evaaa! , Yes am coming. I replied, it was madam Rose calling.

As l went to her , l was welcomed with hot water on my face but luckily l managed to dodge and it poured on my left shoulder towards my arm.

Haaaa...., l screamed, the hot water had already burnt me. I cried but there was nothing to do. Willy hearing the scream come out immediately.

Mum what have you done this time again, he glimpsed and saw me crying with a burnt arm. Oh...no!, no!, no! , he screamed , mum what have you done?, how evil are you mum, you , Ann and dad have been trying Eva and her mum badly do you to think you being fair. Said willy, but let me ask you mum, if if Eva was your daughter would you be happy to see her in this condition? , no answer me why the silence. He said"

He then come and helped me to my room.

Hold on a minute l will be back . He said, then he went and come back with aburn ointment.

Here let me help you put this so that you can get better. he said" . How kind of you Willy, thank you very much. I said . No need to thank me , we are one family only that the devil has possessed the others. he replied" , and if you need anything feel free to ask, okay he saidas he was going out of my room.

Despite having a serious burnt ,l still had to do home chores .

If you done being pampered,hurry and cook for is food. Said madam Rose. I pulled myself with much pain and headed to the kitchen. I had to use only one hand for doing the cooking then come willy.

Eva what are you doing in here you should be resting. He asked. How can l rest went l have to cook. I replied" . A burn doesn't collide with heat you should not even be cooking. He said", ok l will cook all you need to do is give me some help he said.

I looked at a kind boy Infront of me and wished he was my real brother.

Food was ready with the help of willy, l set the table and called madam Rose. She then come and dished all the food leaving me with none.

Aunt, please leave fore some am hungry, l requested. There's no food for alazy person in this house. She replied.

I kept quiet and went to stand at the dinning as the were eating like as usual.

Mum do you know that today Eva didn't cook it's brothe willy who cooked this food. Said Ann.

Ahot slap had already reached my face. How dare you! , how dare you make my son your servant. Yelled madam Rose.

Enough of this nonsense Mum, yelled Willy at his mother while l stood hopelessly. If you've forgotten let me remain you, what we have here right now , are not our wealth it's Eva and her mum's wealth that you and dad decided to grab from them, he said angrily. We have nothing , totally nothing Mum and your too wicked. He said and rushed out of the dining.

Haaaai! , haaaai! Wonders shall never end , so you witch have turned my son against me. She said. I've not even started when am done dealing with you , you will know who l am. Said madam Rose.

I stood up from the floor where l had fallen and went to the backyard, all l could do was to cry the comes willy again.

Eva l bought food for you from out , it's in you room you can eat it with your mum for now. He said with a soft voice ". Thanks willy but l don't want to bring conflicts between son and mother so please stop helping me. I said with my sad voice"

Your my sister too Eva , l can endure seeing you guys being maltreated my my parents. He replied.

My heart was filled with joy knowing that there's still someone who cares about me aside from mum.

I was reported to uncle Tom whoade me to kneel out for six hours in the night.

Let me see who will save you if it's not midnight don't make a mistake of standing up. Said uncle Tom. I knelt down on the tarmac ground outside , my knees were bleeding because of sharp tarmac stone but all l could do was to weep.
