Maya was arranging the dresses according to their stand when Angela and Becky came behind her.
“Um, Maya”. Angela called and Maya turn to them quickly to see them looking remorseful.” can we talk to you?”.
“yeah, sure, what’s the problem?” She asked staring firmly at them.
“We just want to say we are sorry”. Becky sputtered.
” we are sorry about how we treated you, please forgive us”.Angela said and Maya smile faintly at them.
“I hold no grudges against you two, you are both forgiven a long time ago”. she said,
” Thank you so much, Maya, you are so nice, we are sorry, we misjudged you”. Becky said.
“It’s nothing, that is in the past now”.
” Thank you for forgiving us, we will head back to duty now “. Angela said as she left with Becky and Maya smile after them for a while and then continue with what she was doing.
Not too long after, a female voice interrupted her and she turn to see it was the woman with the baby the other time when they were attacked. but she was not with her baby.
” Good day ma”.Maya smile and the woman smiles back at her.
“Good day my dear, how are you?”
“Am fine ma, how is your baby?” Maya asked.
“He is fine, he is in the car with my husband, I just came to say thank you for saving my child the other day”. she said.
” Is nothing ma, am glad I can help”.
“I was really pleased by your courage, if not for your help, only God knows what would have happened to my child”.
” You don’t have to worry about anything ma, is just what I can do, I know the pain and joy of carrying a child in your womb and the pain one had to go through in bringing the child to the world”. Maya said.
“Thank you so much, you really are a woman of virtue, May your bad days be filled with the Good things and happiness you have ever dreamt of”. she prayed and Maya’s responded with an Amen.”
I have something for you”. she brought out a little rectangle box from her bag that was wrapped beautifully with Rainbows and handed over it to Maya.”This is for you”. she said and stare at the box confusedly
“You don’t have to give me a gift “.
” I have to, is my way of showing appreciation”. she said and Maya try to reject the present, but she was persuaded to have it.” please don’t reject my gift, I will be much happier if you accept it”.
“Ok ma, thank you very much”.
” You are welcome, I will take my leave now”. she left and Maya sees her off to her car and she drove off. Maya sigh at the gift and went back inside.
Andrea entered Jayden’s room to tidy it up, but she was surprised to see Jayden in the room, sleeping under the blanket, she move closer to him to see him groaning quietly.
“Sir, are you ok?”. She asked and then left to call Linda, they both came over with the rest girls.
” I thought he left for work already”.Amma said.
“Me too”. Lucy said.
” I don’t think he is alright”. Linda said and feel his forehead and notice he was running body temperature.” Sir Jayden is not fine, let me call Dr. Michael over”. she said and try to leave but Jayden voiced out weakly.
“Don’t “. he said weakly.
” What did he say?”Lucy asked.
“He said don’t, which means we shouldn’t call the Dr. here”. Andrea said.
” Sir, you need to see the doctor, you are not feeling fine, I think you got a fever”. Linda said.
“Don’t, please you all should leave my room, I will be fine”. he said weakly and they stare confusedly at him.
” What do we do?”Amma asked.
“I will inform Ms.Maya about this, let’s go”. Linda said and they went back to the kitchen.
Maya came out of the building heading to grab some lunch when her cell phone rang, she saw it was a call from home.
” Hello?”. she said as she pick up the phone and noticed it was Linda that was calling. “Yes, Linda, is there a problem?”. There was a pause. ” what, I thought you girls said he left for work?”.
There was another pause.”ok, just hold on, I will be there in the next hour”. she hang up and sigh tiredly and then rushed back to the manager’s office.
“Maya, are you ok?”. Ms. Queen asked seeing how worried he looks.
” Not really ma, I was just informed that my aunt is not feeling fine”. she lied.
“Oh, what happened to her?”.
” I don’t know, I just want to take permission from you to –” She got interrupted.
“Is ok, you can go,”.
” Oh, thank you ma”. she said and walk away. she stood on the main road trying to stop a cab, but none was responding because it was a busy day.
Suddenly, a car drove in front of her, she was caught off guard as two men came out of the car and pull her into the car and drove off.
Linda and the rest girls were waiting patiently for Maya’s return.
“I know our boss can be stubborn at times but I have never seen him ill before”. Lucy said.
” Me too, for these past few weeks, he had been stressed out lately”. Andrea said.
“I don’t know why he is refusing us to call the doctor”. Amma said.
” Maybe that’s because he is afraid of injections or drugs”.Lucy said and they chuckle.
“I don’t think so, the almighty boss that is not afraid of anything in this world, can’t be afraid of injections”. Linda said.” I guess what he needs, is Ms.Maya, she alone can force him into seeing the doctor”. she added.
“I am so happy things are going better with them”. Andrea said.
” We all do, and I can’t wait for the wedding bell to start ringing”. Amma said and they laugh.
Mia came out of her apartment to throw away trash in the dustbin, she was shocked to see a familiar figure leaning against his car.
“Ryan?”. she called surprisedly and move closer to him. ” What are you doing here?”.
“Hi, I came to see you”. he replied smiling and Mia stare confusedly at him.
” Me?”.
“yes, I was told is your day off, so, I came to ask you out for a walk at the park”. he said and Mia was surprised.
” Are you serious right now?”.
“yes, remember you own me”.
” Yeah, but I wasn’t expecting this”. she said nervously.
“Is just a walk at the park, no strings attached to it”. Ryan said.
” Um, ok, give me a minute”. she went inside to get changed. A few minutes later, she came out, they enter the car and drove off.
Soon minutes later, They drove to the amusement park, Mia noticed everywhere was quiet with no people around.
“We are here”. Ryan said and they came down.
” Why is it so quiet here, there should be people around”. Mia said.
“Yeah, maybe they have a busy day”. he said rubbing the back of his head nervously knowing fully well that he booked the whole building just for himself and Mia
” I don’t think so, a day as busy as this, can’t make people not to come have fun here”.
“it doesn’t matter, let’s go in”. he said and they went inside. The fun begins with them riding the carousel.
” Wow, this is amazing”. Mia yelled in excitement while Ryan smile at her.
“I didn’t know you liked a carousel ride”.
” Yeah, I use to ride on it a lot with My best friend Maya when we were kids, my parents use to bring us here every weekend”. she explained.
“Wow, that’s nice”.
” Yeah, so, what about you?”. she asked.
“Me?” he scoffs.
“Oh, I forgot you are one of the rich guys, things like this don’t matter to you”.
” Of course not, I love fun but I wasn’t given the privilege to have this kind of fun”. he explains.
“aww, you must be a mummy’s boy who is afraid” she teases and Ryan scoffs.
“I am not, let’s just I was being careful”.
” Ok”.
The fun continues as they throw a conversation with each other, and they get to know more about themselves. They laugh and play around with everything in the park, Mia was content with the fun she had, and the same go with Ryan. After a while of playing around, they sat down on the swing as Ryan left to get themselves some can juice and snacks.
“Thank you for coming out with me “. he said as he sip from his juice.
” Are you for real, why are you thanking me, remember I own you”.she said.
“Yeah, but I am glad you honor my invitation”. he said and they smile at each other.
” You are welcome”.
