Chapter 4 DARIMA

How was it the girls asked anxiously during the break period at their meeting point in the canteen.

Well, Sharon answered feeling very happy and excited as if she went on a police operation mission.

Standing in front of the girls she immediately started the explanations creating a crime scenario.

"At exactly 11:00pm on the dot in the afternoon on the 10th, I left class taking permission with the sole aim of fighting wickedness and creating justice for the oppressed.

Okayyyyy,"zi replied continue

I escaped through the back door of the toilet then ran straight to the Administrative block as wonder woman Becky said.

So, she said I hid at the front door which is by the left corner and escaped inside. Then entered into the cupboard and.............

See Sharon Darima immediately cut there's no time later in the hostel you can tell us how you flew from the tree to the office okay. But now just go straight to the point

''Did you submit the letter on top of Madam Harmony's table or not? We have class soon and this your elaborate explanation is not needed okay.

Conclude it.

''Okay, Sharon said

I submitted it", I dropped it on the table very visible where she can see it.

She didn't tell them she wrote with a Red pen Emergency on the letter, Save a Child.

Yes, the girls all responded and hugged her.

Mission one concluded, now we hope and she reads the letter. I hope so Darima responded. Immediately the school bell was rung and students began to run and walk into their different classes. At this Point they all dispersed with see you later all echoing from their mouths.

DARIMA

"Please come in"

I received a letter today saying and stating that extra work has been added for the children to do despite everything they're asked to do.

Meanwhile they're people who are paid to help render these services.

What do you have to say about this? Madam Harmony addressed the Chief Lady.

Well", she stated is not as if more work was added, but its just cleaning she stuttered out that's all.

That means is true and you are not even denying it.

It needs to stop, right now . Those kids are going through a lot right now emotionally and even psychological, don't add more to their hurt and heavy heart.

So not when they leave here, they leave with so much hatred and anger and unleash it to the society.

Let us try our best effort with them and stop all this unnecessary excesses.

Please Chief lady I don't want to hear any of this kind of report again. Let these kids be and let them enjoy their stay here. Please I don't want to hear this kind report again.

You, may leave"

She immediately discharged the Chief Lady not interested in hearing what she has to say with a grumpy look and face she left the office defeated.

**********************************

Darima, the Chief Lady wants to see you, the orphanage messenger told her in her room whilst she was rejoicing and celebrating with her friends over the turn out of things and events in their favour. And they were all grateful that they were not caught neither were the suspected.

Okay, she responded"

She quickly replied and glanced at her friends who gave her No Matter What Don't Talk Look.

"Darima the chief lady started ,your friend Ezinne submitted a letter which I rejected. All of a sudden got to Madam Harmony the proprietor.

"So do you think it has wings to fly",

Well, Darima started I don't know, I had no idea maybe someone bold enough had wrote the letter and submitted it. Someone who cares about the affairs of the orphanage.

"Really"

Yes, Dammy replied.

And those concerned citizens are neither you nor your friends.

Well, ma , the thing is after we gave you the letter and you refuse to respond positively, we left your office and since then we didn't say anything neither did you hear anything about us doing anything so I don't know where this suspicious are coming from. Maybe from your conscience.

"Really Darima,

Am sorry ma, I just don't want you blaming something on another that's all ma,

Okay, you may leave Chief lady told her.

And Darima my eyes are on all of you, you all

Okay"

Ma keep your eyes on us Darima replied her before she left her office.

********************************

She was asking me about the letter, she told the girls immediately she entered the room.

I think she is suspecting us".

Why, Sharon asked

By the way Sharon, what did you write on top of the envelope. I remember we wrote nothing on it

Well, I wrote Emergency, Save a Child.

What, they all responded with a look of confusion clearly written on their face.

Yes, we are endangered species continued Sharon,

You and who asked Becky.

Me and us all in this orphanage are the endangered species

She wants to clear our existence from the surface............

This girl zi responded, you exaggerate a lot, sighing she told Darima to continue.

Well, I didn't tell her anything continued Darima and she also said her eyes is going to be on us.

Her eyes should better be on her dressing, character and makeup not us cause her eyes will get tired.

They all burst into laughter and immediately changed the topic discussing their individual assignment given to them.

And all silently hoping and wishing that the issue is not going to be addressed again they all can't afford to be in problem at this point
