"Agnes.... Agnes... Agnes.. Agnes "

Who's yelling my name like that I jerked up from my sleep.... The calling was coming from outside but who would be shouting like that.... The call came again and I stood up slowly from my bed and followed the trail of the yelling voice answering back with a faint... Yes

I walked out of the room and towards the dining area... I rubbed my eyes and when I looked up, I saw him...

It's not even the fact that he actually called me by my real name that stunts me... It was his face... Stone cold and plastered with a scary frown..

"Sir.... "

"What is wrong with you, what exactly is your problem.... are you trying to see the other side of me, and trust me you won't like to see my other side "

He was right.... His other side is not a good sight at all.... He was beyond ugly

"I... I.. Don't know what you are talking about "

"Are You crazy.... No tell me that you are out of your mind.. Because that's the only thing that explains this attitude.., are you plain stupid or just stubborn "

I didn't answer... His mood is everywhere and I can't even understand where his sentiment is coming from

"So You can't talk. You had alot to say earlier didn't you.... And now I've been shouting your name for a while and you took pride in ignoring me.. You little witch "

Me witch... I really don't understand what this man is saying

"Sir I don't understand what is going on "

"How can you understand... Is there anything that you understand.. Your brain is fried there's nothing up there. All you know how to do is eat, sleep and  nothing more.... Is that why i brought you here... To just eat, sleep and watch movie all day "

Then why did he bring me here.... Ohh pls don't tell me... Did he bring me here for...... Oh no... I hope not

"I brought you here to clean and assist with the house and now you can't even dust the dinning. Everywhere is dusty and did you see the store filled with cobwebs.... Do you need me to tell you before you clean the house, I don't tolerate such laziness... It is highly unacceptable "

if he's so angry and unhappy with me staying here... Why not just let me go.. Why not just send me back to where.. I'd like that very much

"I keep looking at you and you are not even bothered... Is that how childish you are... And what are you wearing for fuck sake... What is this...."

I looked at my dress.. Maybe a little bit faded and worn out but it is mine

"Is it only rags you have "

Rag... how is this rag... This is one of my favorite dress... Okay maybe I only have three dresses but there's nothing wrong with this one.. And why is he referring to all my clothes as rag.... Why is he being so irritated

"Am sure you'll say there are not rags..... "

"They are nice clothes... Maybe old "
I answered softly

"Shhu... Shhu.. Shusssh..... That's all you are good at arguing like you know everything in the world... Even the food you are suppose to be cooking.. You don't know how to make anything "

Ehhn dear lord.. When will all this madness end, he keeps going on and on like he's right and if I say anything he would crucify me so let me just be watching him display

"You know what from now henceforth, You have to cook one major meal per day.. And I don't care how you go about it.... you will not stop cooking it until you perfect it so for as long as you keep doing nonsense you will continue to eat the nonsense you make..... I'll get you cooking manuals you must cook every dish on the manual and after which this house must be cleaned everyday... If You like use a day to scrub the kitchen my own is it must be sparkling clean.... Same goes for the rest of the house and as soon as you finish with the last part of the house. You start all over again from the place you begin with..... I hope you are listening to me carefully because I will not repeat any of the things I just said..... And also"

Ohhh. Oh.. What now

"I want to teach you how to wash the dirty clothes "

"I know how to wash.. I just don't know where to sun dry it.... You know since am not allowed to step out of the house "

"Am getting there.... So keep quiet, am not asking you to wash any of my clothes... I have someone for that.. Your clothes, the bedspread, kitchen linens and pillow clothes. Wash and put in a bucket.. I  will sun dry it myself and don't use any electrical appliances when am not around.. Do you understand "

I nodded

"Can't You talk "

"Yes Sir.. I mean yes I understand "

"Good"

He spinned around for a while before walking away....

Today's orientation is even longer than the day I just arrived.. He's angry because I tried to talk to Miss Tris.. And now I won't rest until I tell her
