POOR BLIND GIRL : EPISODE 1 – 10
Episode 7
Ariel sat quitely, she had just finished taking her launch and laid on the bed waiting patiently for her new mom to come home and then they would talk till she gets tired .
*I can’t wait for mom to arrive, *she thought smiling happily .
Just then ,she heard snifflings which got louder than every passing second ,she tried ignoring it but then it grew louder, she then decided to check what it was.
She stood up from the bed and reached out to her rod which she was going to use in finding her way.
She began to follow the sound of the sniffles, she walked slowly so as not to trip.
As she moved slowly, she heard the sniffles get louder, she held unto each door handle just to find the right room.
The mansion had more than 50 rooms, with at least 5 hall ways, each containing up to 10 rooms. Mrs Damien’s room is on the first floor, while Ariel was placed on the third floor, with that of the chief workers purposely, so she would be taken care of with no doubt.
Finally Ariel had gotten to a particular door where she could here the sniffles loud and clear.
She hesitated for a little, she had no idea who was in that room and why the person was crying. But then she had walked all the way here just to know why, it wouldn’t feel right to return back, so she knocked on the door waiting for a response.
Jon opened the door to see Ariel who stood looking closely at her. *what is she doing *was the only thing Jon could think of, perhaps too confused to know why a blind girl would walk around in a place she is not familiar with .
“Young madam, what are you doing here, you are supposed to be in bed resting. Jon finally said .
“Sorry to disturb you, I tried sleeping but I was hearing sniffles, which meant someone was in tears so I decided to come and find out who it was and why, your voice sounds familiar. She suddenly said.
“Oh , that’s because I served you food earlier. Jon replied.
“Alright then, so are you the only one in this room or is there someone else , Ariel asked .
“No it’s Just me , forgive my manners please come in, Jon replied and ushered Ariel into her room.
She helped Ariel into the room and placed her on the bed to have a seat before joining her.
“I am sorry I couldn’t let you sleep with my cry. Jon suddenly apologized .
“It’s fine ,if I am not being too inquisitive, can I know the reason why you were crying. Ariel asked.
“Oh about that it was just something I have been trying to forget but a wtch decided to make me remember it, it’s no big deal ,she replied .
“If it’s not a big deal then ,why were you crying ,she asked not satisfied with Jon’s answer .
“Why do really want to know , Jon asked surprised by how serious Ariel was.
“That’s because a problem shared is a problem solved, you know I cry all the time too when I was on the streets, most times because of how hungry I was, and sometimes because of the fact that I can’t see anything or know how things really are in this world. And sometimes when I get bullied and picked on by people, all this reasons that made me cry. So I thought you could have reasons for yours as well. Ariel explained truthfully.
Jon was already in tears, Ariel had trusted her enough to tell her something about herself even without knowing her.
“Why are you telling me all this? Jon asked.
“I don’t know but my heart feels at peace with you, so I felt I could open up to you. She replied.
“Wow, you are such an amazing person thank you so much for trusting me. I was crying because just like you came from the streets so did I and everyother person in this building even Mrs Damien herself. Before I met her, I used to live on the streets close to a fancy restaurants named ‘ FOODIES’ it was a place for the rich.
Most times, people would have pity on me and give me food while some would chase me away or insult me. The good people in this world are very small, the people who insulted me soon started to make reports to the restaurant about me that I should be chased away and they did just that. But I was very stubborn I went back there countless times, sometimes I got beaten up for trespassing.
“So one faithful day, the manager came to me, he was a very young man and very handsome too. He told me about the complaints people made about me and told me to come stay with him instead of always being chased around. I agreed because I had no where to go. My parents threw me out because I was a female child. Female children are worthless in my family because my parents wers so poor.
I accepted the offer, it was a good one I mean who would reject such an offer, definitely not an homeless girl like me. He took me to his house and took good care of me with his sister, they both treated me like family and I was happy and grateful to God for the blessing he showered on me.
“I was seventeen at that time, I lived in that Manager’s house for a year and things were going smoothly. I wouldn’t deny I started having feelings for him, but I kept it to myself.
I was not in his class for him to love me back, he sometimes used to remind me about it, which I understood and always encourage myself to forget about him.
We all lived peacefully untill one blissful and tragic day.
“That day Terrance (the manager) suddenly appeared home one afternoon, he was smiling so brightly that I was tempted to ask what happened. His sister was on a trip with her boyfriend so it was just the two of us alone. He informed me about his promotion at the restaurant, his boss had given one of his restaurants in Australia like wise the one he was working in. He was overjoyed that he gave a lot of money to prepare different delicacies before he returned back to work.
“I prepared everything as instructed and waited patiently for him to return home and finally he did but he was drunk. I rushed to help him as he kept staggering repeatedly. He had gotten so drunk out of so much excitement. I took him up to his room and ….she suddenly paused and started to cry uncontrollably, Ariel hear her crying quickly hugged her and whispered *it’s okay to cry just let everything out *
“No am fine, let me finish up my story don’t mind the cry, Jon replied and Ariel nodded.
Jon breath in and out before she continued her story.
“I took him up to his room and I was about living when he suddenly pulled me back and I ended up falling on the bed. Within a second, he was on top of me, he t©re my dress and had his way with me. He rapped me, he took away my innocence that h®rrible night. And the next day all he could say was I should forget about it and act like it never happened.
With a heavy heart, I agreed because he was in a relationship and he didn’t want it to get destroyed.
“Few months later, I got pregnant and I told him about it I was expecting him to finally accept me because he placed me in that situation, but instead he chased me out of the house and threatened to kill me if I told anyone.
I ran away from that place to an entirely different area. There I found a job that could bearly feed me.
I decided to add something to it by hawking that was where Mrs Damien found me and took me in to one of her orphanage homes mainly for pregnant young girls. I was treated well and I gave birth to my daughter Prisca, who stayed at the orphanage.
I decided to work and make enough money so I could give my daughter a better life, that’s why I work here as a cook. I have never opened up to anyone before not even Mrs Damien, you are the first. Jon said.
“Thank you for telling me your story I feel honored, you have been through a lot Jon, am sorry for what happened. But everything happens for a reason, how old is your daughter if I may ask.
“She is three year old, and she is really sweet ,I only get to see her once in a week , don’t worry one day you will meet up with her , Jon replied ..
“Thank you Jon I would be glad , Ariel replied .
Suddenly they started to hear yellings ,some was yellings really loud this got mostly Jon worried that was clearly Mrs Damien’s voice.
“what is going on , Ariel asked .
“I don’t know come on let’s go find out what’s going on , Jon replied and helped Ariel up as they both set out .
They got close to the stairs when Mrs Damien suddenly got a glimpse of who she had been looking for .
“Ariel, my dear where have you been? Mrs Damien asked rushing to her, she got to where Ariel stood and pulled her into a tight hug leaving Ariel confused .
“Mom what’s wrong ,I thought I heard you yelling .
“We thought you were missing, Mrs Damien replied.
“Of course not I was with Jon in her room. I felt really bored and she came on the right time to keep me company. But my room was a bit to cold do we went to her room. Ariel said changing the story, she couldn’t possibly tell everyone that Jon was disturbing her with her tears which made her leave her room just to know why.
“You scared me , please make sure to inform people around you before going anywhere okay ,Mrs Damien said.
“Yes mom I understand , Ariel replied.
“Come on let’s go in so I can show you everything I brought for you , Mrs Damien said happily and held onto Ariel as they both accended the stairs .
