Perfect SCARS

33

Life plays a trick with us at our weakest moment..
It exposes us to alot of things we don't know or have chosen to put in the past and it puts you in a sticky situation

I spend 30 minutes thinking of  this... With the newspaper in my hand.. If I allow it I can feel the tears coming but I blocked it

I canceled my reservations for the day including the spa... I craved for all day,I put the newspaper in my bag,  grabbed my keys and drove straight home

The security of the building.. I think his name is Clark or Benny, I couldn't return the usaul smile I give  whenever I return home

I just hit the elevator to the 29th floor, a woman carrying groceries bumped in before the door closes... I wouldn't  mind if she has just kept to herself but she kept talking and I just couldn't deal... Am having a terrible headache as it is

And she won't stop talking, she talked about her dog who had an home accident and how she had to rush him to the hospital and now she wants to prepare a nice meal for her dog and take it to the hospital

In the split seconds before I got to my floor.. She told me her name, her dog's name, her room and floor number, the hospital are dog was admitted

And I didn't say a word but I was grateful to finally leave this delusional  woman who talks way to much

I was dangling around my door with my keys in my hands when I accidentally pushed the door and it opened....

I Thought of one thousand reasons why my door was opened and I was scared to my toes.. I even had 911 on speed dial...

Am not usually this uptight and insecure but since I saw that man on the newspaper... My subconscious level went way up and I'm suddenly so frightened and bothered about anything and everything..

Then Odelia walked passed the living room and I released a breath of relief...

Odelia is my housekeeper, she comes in thrice a week to clean the place so of course she has a key

Why didn't I remember that...
I rubbed my hand over my forehead.. You can imagine how disorganized I can be from seeing a mere picture...

"Ohh hey there.. Ms Brown, You are back "

"Yes Odelia... Isn't that obvious, besides why are you still here "

"Uhmm well I told you I'll be traveling home this weekend for my brother's wedding so I won't be able to come clean for the rest of the week. So I decided to clean more thoroughly today"

"Ohhh yeah.. Good, but why didn't you lock the door Odelia, I thought it was a thief or something "

"Ahhh no ma... No thief just me... I had to take the waste downstairs... Am sorry I forgot to lock behind me "

"Yeah it's OK...... So are you almost done "

As much as I like my home sparkling clean.. I would love to be alone right now...... I need to think..

"Yes ma'am.. Almost done "

"Then get to it... Hurry... I want to lock the doors.. I'm tired "

She smiled.... And got on with her work, Odelia is a sweet woman with a teenage son... She's Mexican and should be in her late 30's.... She's one of the few people in the world I can truly say I enjoy their services... No stress, no delay, no long talks just gets the job done in on time..

She has been working for me for over two years now and we've never had issues and no one has ever worked with me for so long..everyone always have issues in my own opinion ... They even tag me the bitter person.. But I didn't care

After she left, I locked all doors and went to my bedroom sat on the bed and brought out the newspaper then I searched the page he's detailed in and read thoroughly

Barr Philip Jackson, a honorable Lawyer and owner of Pluto Oil and gas has announced his interest to participate in forthcoming election to apply for the post of Senate...
He recently declared his intentions for the seat and the party he would be representing in the entrepreneurs  conference in Abuja on the 7th of sept

He also had a press conference on the 12th of sept with his beautiful wife and lovely children . He shared the goals and motives behind his political interest .... Towards the 2020 Nigerian senatorial elections.

My heart raced as I read on about this awful man and how he has been making a life for himself,  he even has a family and now wants to run for senate

This is unfair.... I flinged the newspaper angrily
And there he is smiling like an angel on earth

I can't let this happen
I won't let this happen
I can't let this mad man go on with his life like nothing ever happened like he didn't succeed in ruining mine

THRITEEN or Thrity years... I can't forget for a day the hell he put me through. The horror he put me through

So now that I know that I can't forget what has happened...
It's time to set things straight... And now is the time....
