Homepage/A PICTURE OF HIM/
chapter 8
....
Leaving my house made my life so miserable, but I actually preferred the level of suffering to the one I experienced in there, imagine staying in a house you grew up into, a house you have known all your life as a personal belonging, being taken away forcefully and you were turned into a maid without consideration. The domestic staff were sent away and literally do all the house chores with additional nagging. The memories of my family always taunting, at my quite time, I would be feeling like they were present and all these stressed my mental health. I didn't know how to start again and alone, I promised myself not to take any drastic decision, Clara be that light that would shine for your family, I always said to myself.
With the little money I had taken, I rented an apartment though I shared with a lady; my first time living with someone I didn't know as a roommate, something I had never experienced in life excluding my best friend because she was my childhood friend. It was really a difficult one, she does opposite of what I do, I kept on complaining until I learned to live with it. This situation thought me so many things, including tolerance. I lost my friends, best friend and boyfriend, none cared about my well-being. The day I decided to pay a surprise visit, I got the shock of my life, my best friend in bed with my boyfriend, that was the day I took a decision to progress, I understood that nobody really cared.
It's closing time and I was so eager to go home, I refused telling Karl about the offer from Mr. Nich, I don't really know if he can keep it to himself. I left the coffee shop to the motor park where I would take a cab back home, getting to the road side, I met Jessica and her cohort. It seemed they were waiting for someone definitely not me, I can't remember having a meeting with them. I increased my walking speed to move pass them .
"Fool, wait for me tonight!" Jessica shouted.
I totally ignored her and left, I knew ignoring her would make her more pissed. I got home to meet my roommate outside the house.
"Hey, how are you doing," I greeted her.
"Better clear your name off and don't involve me in your embarrassment, very soon people will be booing you on the street," she replied.
She didn't even answer my greetings, I guessed there were more to it, though atimes she behaves like a psycho. I walked into the room to pick up my phone, on switching it on, lots of messages and notifications were popping in and I already knew it was about the issue, immediately a call came in. It was Karl asking me how I was going to handle it, which I told him not to worry about it, I didn't feel comfortable with his concern and care. I felt there is more I'm yet to know.
What if he wants to set me up?
What if he is an under cover for Jessica?
Someone can't turn an Angel immediately, it's a gradual process, I said to myself.
I logged into my Facebook account and Jessica had already started the life stream, she was with two other colleagues as a witness, they kept on saying things that never happened. The comment section was so bitter, much damaged, people moving around without peace or happiness, I waited for her to grow the audience before making a post but not with the picture.
Bloggers were really doing their work, making unrelated guidelines with different pictures they were dropping.
I couldn't even bath or eat, I was just sitting and watching everything, hoping that Mr. Nich would help me like he promised.
"Hello sir, it's me Clara from the Zen coffee shop, please I want to make the post now," I messaged him. Lord, please let him give a positive reply I prayed.
I kept on checking every messages that entered my phone, but none was from him, I was almost feeling sad, then a message entered and opening it, it was Mr. Nich.
"Let's go on live for 20 minutes, please you need to pardon me, I really don't have much time," he said
I screamed untop of my voice, jumping like I have won a lottery, but this is the biggest lottery ever, I never imagined this coming to pass. I went on live, my followers were already throwing lots of question, some of the trolls joined my live and kept on heaping the insults, it's funny how I was having much people on my live stream just to bully me. Mr. Nich took a little time before joining, he sent an invitation while I accepted. The live stream was the best ever, I could see my view getting close to 3 million, getting a thousand view is always a difficult one.
I let him do the talking, he kept on saying how we were friends and all that, the comments were really beautiful, the ladies wishing to be in my shoes and the men asking him for a hangout, it was a fulfilling feeling, Mr. Nich was so determined to clear my name, he even had to encourage them to give me a follow, I rose from 3000 followers to 5million followers within 20 minutes.
It's 20 minutes already and it's time for him to leave.
I have to go now Clara, I will call you later, he said and Left the live.
I stayed on it for a while and took permission to leave, I was so happy that all have been settled.
I ended the live to go search for
Jessica's page but surprisingly, it has been taken down, Facebook users are really great warriors, lolz.
"How were you able to do that," my roommate asked while walking to where I was sitting looking so confused, I stared at her like she's disgusting and ignored her question.
Immediately, I got a call from Karl, "Congratulations," he said.
I could sense a tension in his voice, he sounded like he was somewhere and never believed what happened.
Maybe he felt like I can't get Mr. Nich to help me, I convinced myself, today is one of the greatest day of my life, it's time to make money online. A dream come true, time to make an art and show the world, time to show my beauty, my uncle doesn't care about me, so he wouldn't even trace, even if he does, he wouldn't believe me living in such area.
It really took lots of strength to adapt to the environment because a lot happened.Download Novelah App
