THE HOUSEMAID DISASTER
EPISODE 7
David was shocked at the sight he beheld. As a man that he was, he got filled with mixed feelings. Should he go back and leave her alone?. He shut the door and called her name again from outside. She didn’t answer. He called again. This time around, he was getting angry.
“How am i sure she is still alive?” he thought.
He immediately pu-ll-ed the door and called her name aloud. She moved and opened her eyes. On seeing him, she quic-kly gr@bb£d the be-dspre-ad and covered her self.
“I am sorry sir” she said, standing up holding the be-dspre-ad loosely. She allowed it drop down, revealling every p@rt of her b©dy to David. She pretended it was accidental and unintentional as she bent down to pick it up to cover herself.
“I am very sorry sir. i’m sorry”she said again, standing there and looking at him as if he was a ghost.
David just shook his head and made for the door.
“Get me my dinner”he said before shutting the door.
Sonia face changed immediately he left. she was very disappointed.
“what manner of man is this? Does it mean i am not appealing to him?” she thought.
“I am trying my best o. i am doing my best” This she said to Ebere on the phone before unmuting it.
“That is your own business” Ebere’s voice echoed from the other end before the line went dead.
“I must make up for this, before he tells my madam another thing” She got dressed and went out to dish out David’s dinner. As she notified him that dinner has been served, she was reluctant to leave. She scratched her head and stood still. David noticed this.
“What is it?”He asked. “Emm,sir…i, i..want to apologise for what happened today. I am very sorry. Its just that i was feeling heat and i didn’t like putting on the fan, I am very sorry” Sonia sounded so innocent.
“It’s ok, there is no problem. But let me bring to your notice, whether heat or cold in that your room, you must wear decent clothes have i made myself clear?” David stressed out.
“Yes sir” Sonia answered nodding.
She smiled to herself as she went back to her room.

Two days later, She visited her mom to narrate how she had tried to lure Mr. David to lied with her which proved ab-ortive.
“Mama, i have tried my best but the man has refused and I am afraid he might find out my mission and s£nd me packing. Mama i dont want to go to jail. That Ebere is heartless, She just won’t let me be” Sonia lamented.
“What do you suggest we do?”her mother asked.
“Mama that is why i am here, help me out” She pleaded while her mother nodded in comprehension.

The witch doctor they visited gave Sonia a liquid in a black bottle and told her to put it in David’s food for three consecutive days and he will become hers.
::::.**:::::
Sonia called David to come and have breakfast the next morning. she had carefully applied the liquid as instructed by the witch doctor and she stood around to make sure David ate the food when he eventually come out of his room. She just couldn’t wait to see the food pas-s down his throat. She had only 6 days left to do Ebere’s bidding.
The only thing on her mind that moment was to see David pas-s the food down his throat.
David c@m£ out from his room and headed to the dinning to have breakfast.
As he sat down, he glanced at his
wristwatch and muttered something, shook his head and stood up.
Sonia saw this and edged closer.
“Sir, you are leaving, you didn’t t©uçh your food” Sonia said gently.
“I’m running out of time. I nee-d to be at the meeting this morning in the next fifteen minutes” He explained.

“Sonia, i hope you are doing what the baba told you to do?” Sonia’s mother asked over the phone when Sonia called to tell her how the plans has been going.
“Yes mum, for these past two days, i made sure i put the liquid into his food and i always ensured he ate them” she replied in a low voice to prevent even the walls from hearing.
“Good, don’t make any mistake o and you have to be careful and remember the baba said it will back-fire if you don’t do it well as he said” She clarified.
“I know mom, that is why i called. Today is the third day, remind me the things he said i must do today because I don’t want to make any mistake, It’s like i forgot some of the things he said i should do” Sonia explained.
“Haa omo mi (my daughter) listen very well, make sure you put it in his breakfast and dinner and then pour a little of it into his bathing water. Then apply it on your palm and ru-b his head with it that is all.plea-se be careful o”She instructed.
“Alright mom i will try my best” Sonia finally said and dropped the call.
She had succeed only in putting it into his breakfast this morning. She wondered how she can ru-b his head with her palm.
The bathing water case can never be a problem. She prayed to get lucky but she was scared. The thought of everything back-firing was even scarier but she was determined to pl@ythis game to the end. She was beginning to reasons why she should do it. She nee-ded money, If everything goes as planned, money would be hers.
And moreover, the thought of the revelation of paul’s death was another thing she never wanted another person to hear.
“Honey i’m hoooome” David’s voice echoed as he returned that evening from work.
Sonia’s heartbeat increa-sed as she was set to carry out her final operations. She successfully applied it into his food and bath water. Now, the only thing left was to ru-b his head with her palms. She applied the liquid on her palm and stayed in a place where she knew David would pas-s throu-gh after bathing.
As David approached, she composed herself and started looking at the paper in her hand as if she was re-ading it.
As he c@m£ closer, she look at his head and said.
“Oh sir, there is a little soap on
your head” She c@m£ closer and David st©pped, lowering his head for her to clean out the soap as she volunteered to. She smiled within herself as she ru-bbe-d his head with the liquid, she ru-bbe-d it all over slowly with plea-sure.
“Its okay now” she said. David left.
She felt like jumping up out of excitement but controlled herself. She remembered Angela and how she took her like a junior sister.
“Oh lord, i didn’t mean to do this, I am so sorry for whatever happens next” Sonia murmured as she ran to her room with tears running down her cheeks.
