I am waiting?" Corey said.
I looked at the faces of my parents, before responding, "fine, I accept, I'll get married to you,".Dad immediately rebuked, " no! You can't do that,"."Dear, Please reconsider,". Mom said as well.Corey however didn't care what they said. He finally takes away the gun and before leaving he turns to my family and said."You're lucky tonight, but don't forget, I'll be back for you, my dear,".Corey winked at me before disappearing from our eyes...Immediately the door shuts, and dad ran off to the door, he locked it, confronting me. "You shouldn't have accepted Muna," dad complained.Like what the heck does he want?. I had no choice, it was either I see my parents die before my eyes or accept to marry a monster like Corey."Dear! Please no need to dwell on this, we should at least find a way to save our child from getting married to a man like Corey,". Says mom. She turns around and faced me. ", Muna, I need you to promise me, and no matter what, you'll never end up getting married to Corey,". Mom said, emotionally looking at me.Dad too Stares at me.I stared back.What do I say?. I don't think I'll have an answer to their question.Not right now.I might have accepted the marriage to Corey, it would be the grace of God that stops me from actually getting married to him, except, dad finds a way to pay back the money Corey loaned to him.I faced dad and said, " tell me something, how much did you lend from Corey?".I looked at mom in the process.Dad suddenly choked.He began coughing. Mom asked me to go into the kitchen to get him a glass of water, immediately I ran off and came back in with a glass of water on a tray.I placed it in front of dad, the table facing him."Here you go dad, drink please,". I said."Thank you, dear, I will,". Dad said. He take out his hand to collect the glass, he did and slowly bring his mouth, closer to the lid of the cup.He takes his time to finish the glass of water.Deep down I felt he was trying to hide away from answering my calls."Muna, can you please go to your bedroom and let me talk with your dad,". Mom interrupts any chance of me knowing the truth.I grinned, I went past them heading to my room.Before leaving, I turned back to look at them. Mom wanted to say something, but when she noticed I was still looking, she immediately stops. "Muna, please go to your room, I beg you,". She yelled at me.I shook my head and faced away. I went upstairs and walked into my bedroom...I am curious, what are my parents hiding from me.. . Apart from the fact that my parents went ahead to borrow money from a loan shark mobster, Corey.Why can't they talk to me about what happened.?. Why did dad borrow money from him and with the manner Corey acted, it seems like a huge sum of money .The next morning. After the whole Corey episode, both my parents were still paranoid. I came downstairs for breakfast. Mom walks out of the kitchen holding a bowl of hot soup. However, the second a bang on the door came. She unnerves and accidentally sent the entire soup to the ground.Out of fear."Mom?". I called staring at her facial expression.She faced the door and ran over to meet dad.Dad looks at me, "dear, can you go check who's at the door?". He whispered to me."Seriously!", I said back."Please baby, huh!". Said mom, holding unto dad's favorite polo shirt."Fine, let me go check,". I inhaled and said.I stood up from my chair, navigating towards the front door.I came closer and yelled."Who is it?". . I faced my parents for a while, they were both freaked out of their minds, when a familiar voice yelled right back."Muna! Get the door open, please,".. Sara, my best friend, said.Upon hearing her voice, my parents calmed down, I did too.Even though I didn't quite show
Sara and I got inside.I would have suspected that maybe there was a fight going on, but the minute we step ahead to see what was happening.I came facing a huge shock.My photo was being disturbed around, the cafeteria with the headline that says, Corey fiancee to be.What the heck?...Sara picks up one of the flyers with my face on it and pasted it directly to me, "what Is this?, And who's Corey, and who's his fiancee?, Are you about to get married?"...She questioned me.I stared at her, after taking off the flyer away from blocking my face."You'll not understand, trust me,"... I said, and angrily walked away, however before leaving, I practically dragged the entire flyers away from the table and dashed off.I picked up my phone to call dad.Unfortunately, he didn't pick up.The flyers in my hand had a return address.Immediately I went out of college and went to the printing press for serious questioning.I got there after some time."Good morning ma'am, how may I be of help to
A few hours drive, the cab stopped by a huge mansion.He rugs head back to the passenger's seat and said, "Ma'am, we are here?".I tilted my head down a little and noticed a huge golden gate mounted at the front I got down from the cab after paying for the fare and slowly walked toward the gate.A man stopped me the second I walked inside the huge mansion."Hey! Who're you looking for?". He asks.I stared behind and a man holding a loaded rifle stared coldly at me."Hello, is your boss, Corey inside?". I asked."Why are you looking for my boss and who are you again?", He asked, repeating his exact words...I rolled my eyes...I can't be doing this with him."Sir, can you go in and call Corey outside, tell him that Muna Daniels, daughter of Mr. Naunan Daniels is outside waiting for him,"... I raged up my voice a little.The man takes a hand pressing his gun.I thought he was going to use that on me, however, he rolls his eyes and left to inform his boss inside.I waited outside, look
A man walks into the room.He sees us pressed against each other and immediately looked away."I'm sorry sir,". He says.Corey grunts, "David, what exactly do you want?". He complained, as he finally let go of my hand.Seeing me in the same room, David didn't get to talk.Corey noticed that and turns to face me."Muna! We are done, can you leave?".He stared at my face.I ignore them, moving forward to pick up my bags.At the table, I trashed the flyers in the dust bin and walked away...Corey kept looking, however, the second I tried to walk past him, he forcefully dragged my hand, pulling me back."What!" I rudely muttered."Go back and pick that up,"? He says.I stared confused, " pick what up?". I said. He pushed me in the direction of the dustbin. "Pick up the flyers and make sure you take every one of them,". He says.I turned back and faced him.. "excuse me, I should pick what?". I played dumb...Corey gets upset, he walks to the dustpan and pushed down the bucket, scatter
I rolled my eyes, running after David...I passed some of the maids, as I ran ahead to stop him.Unfortunately, David entered the car and it drives away.I had to wait for a cab to come before trying to go after him...But when it did, David had already left.I even went to the same printing press to ask for anyone had come by but no one did.I moved back home.Mom was busy preparing lunch when she saw me walk in."Hey, you're not in school today why?". She asked.I came to her at the table, pressing my hands against one of the chairs, "no! I didn't have classes today,". I lied.Mom looks at me, "sure baby, you've never really been at home this early,"... She says, walking into the kitchen.I followed her, " yes mom, but I didn't have a lot of classes to attend, so don't worry," I smiles and grabbed a glass of water from the fridge...I left the kitchen.....I went to my bedroom to change. And decided to rest for a while.I had this feeling that mom or dad hasn't seen the flyers, perh
As much as I wouldn't want to tell her what happened.Sara is my best friend and I do need her for mural support... "okay fine, I'll tell you,". I took a step back, "but first take down my photo from every building, okay?". I said.Sara grunts, "fine!". She grabbed a trash bag from her bag, I saw that " don't tell me, you carry trash bags everywhere you go?" I said, starring up my eyes to her gaze.She smiles, "don't! At least it saves you from walking in and out of the house with a trash bag,". She says and looked away.I laughed. I held unto my trash bag and we left together. Starting from Mrs butter's house, we had to remove the flyers from every building it was pasted on.Mr. Smith, the newspaper vendor saw us rampaging around his stand."Dear, what Is all this!" He says, staring around before looking at me again."It's nothing, sir," I said and ran off with my trash bag hitting behind my back.A few hours gone passed the day, and we got back home exhausted from running around.
I finished my food within some seconds. Getting late for college.Sara had to leave because she too woke up late as well.The cab stops behind the school college.I faced the driver, "sir! Why have you dropped me here, ?"I asked, questioning him."I'm sorry ma'am, but I got instructions to pack here,". The driver turns to the passenger's seat to look at me. I pulled up my bags, "who sent you!", I interrogated, deep down I had that urge it wouldn't be the same person.He was just about to talk when another car drives and crashed into ours.I screamed. I turned back a little after getting myself and looked to know what happened.Behind I met David, walking out of the same car that hit the cab I was in.I panicked as I watched him open the cab door."Good morning miss Muna, my boss wants to speak with you,". He takes out his hand, handing me a phone.I stared at him before picking up the phone."H..hello," I said.Silence takes over some time before I heard his voice respond to me."My
After classes, I left with Sara to the cafeteria. I thought David would have left, but the first thing I glanced at was him seated in the cafeteria hall. He waved at me.Sara sees that and said."Who Is that waving at us,?". She made nerdy noises at me."Sara, I think I'll go home now, okay,". I said as I kept on withdrawing my feet."Hey, what do you have to do,?". Sara said, I locked away the second I got the chance to leave.I stepped out of the cafeteria. And hurried to leave the college.Outside the gate, I stopped for a cab to take me home.I got into the cab, "sir, let's go,". I said."Yes ma'am, immediately,". The voice of the driver sounded familiar when he responded.No way.I stared up in speed. I met David grinning at me from the front car mirror."You?" I said in surprise."Yes ma'am, it's me, and right now my boss is waiting for us,". He said and immediately drove off.I yelled and kept on doing so until we stopped by Corey's mansion.David sets his head back in the pa
