As I tried to open my eye I felt this sharp pain in my head, it was literally banging
At a point it felt like my world was spinning, I can feel the dryness of my tears on my chicks look around I wondered where I was then everything that transpired today rushed back into my memory
'Mum' I called out in a whisper even though my throat was dry I still had the urge to cry
Beyond the walls of the room, two women walked towards the direction of the building I was kept in, the younger one walked at the front with grace while the older followed behind, they stopped in front of the door
'Is she awake' she asked the guard standing in front of the door
'Maybe, because she has not made a sound' one of the guard said and opened the door,
While I was still sobbing lightly the door opened and light came in, inside the room two people walked inside and turned on the light, as the link flashed through my face I used my palms to clean the tears on my face
' Good day I greeted maybe this are the people they are selling to and they came to check me out' I thought
' you must be Anthea' she asked as thou they were expecting me
I only nodded because I sincerely don't have the strength to talk
' okay we've been expecting you' she said, wait like seriously! They have been expecting me
'Take this'll she threw a cloth on me
It's your maid uniform you are to wear it when working in the main mansion the also implys every day' she instructed
'Cassandra what room number is vacant' she asked looking at the woman that looks like she is in her thirty's
'Room 169 ma, she will be room mate with Ella' the woman replaid
'Take her to the maids quarters ' she instructed 'less I forget according to the contract you are staying here for five years so work well' she said walking away immediately the word left her lips.
As she left the woman, Cassandra I was to follow around
'Let's go' she said and started walking and I followed her, After walking about a length that felt like forever she stopped in front of a mansion
'This is the maids quarters Anthea make sure you feel at home because you will be needing it here' she said will a voice welcoming
'As you must have heard you are staying in room 169' she said I looked at her with a smile not reaching my eyes I could see sympathy in her eyes
' thank you ma' I said almost as a whisper and I turned look at the door to the mansion I let out a breath I didn't notice I was holding
'New home, sweet home' I said to myself as I walked inside holding the cloth I was given in my hands I started walking true the Hall wall looking at every door I walked pass, it felt strange because the doors were never ending, then
I saw a girl standing looking at the entrance, it felt like she was waiting for someone she looked at me maybe sensing I was new she approached me
' hey sorry please are you Anthea' she asked looking at me up and down
'Yes I am' I said with a smile plastered on my face
'Oh ok am your room mate Ella I've been waiting for you since I was told you were here '
' oh nice to meet you Ella' I replied she was sómeone you could easily feel relaxed around and am happy to have such a room mate
I stretched out my hand for a shake but instead she pulled me to a hug after the impromptu hug was over she took the cloth from my hand and led the way and I followed
What amused me was the fact she kept smiling like she won a Grammy Award.
