Chapter 6 Our Maid Sara

Sara raced downstairs and got a glass water from the fridge and took it upstairs to Abram's room.

She knocked on the door and he asked her to get in.

He was still busy with office work at his desk.

He seemed to have a headache.

"Here is your water" said Sara placing it on his table.

As she walked out, she noticed him twisting his neck and touching his head.

"Are you having a headache?" She asked

"Why do you care?" He asked

"You got some attitude huh! Suit yourself then" said Sara but before she opened the door, he called her back.

"I don't take medicine. Give me a massage" he said and Sara mimicked him softly.

Even though she wanted to get even with him, she still helped him due to her soft heart.

"Did you just mimic me?" He asked

"Why would i do that to my boss? No, no way" she said and moved to where he was sitting and massaged his shoulder's first, then got to his head.

He was enjoying the massage for real but never wanted it to seem like it.

Sara was busy checking his laptop and she saw that Abram was doing the accounts of the family businesses.

"I think something is wrong with the accounts" said Sara

"What do you know? You are just a mere maid" said Abram

"Who said maids don't study? I do know accounts" said Sara

"Don't interfere in things you don't know silly maid. Now get out!" Said Abram angrily and Sara left.

"I wasn't planning on staying away" said Sara and left angrily.

"She is a nutcase!" Said Abram and got back to his accounts just to notice that there was a miscalculation.

He had doubled the total amount since he was seeing the digits in twos due to his headache.

"How did she do that?" He asked to himself and corrected what he had done wrong before going to bed.

Sara got back to Eden's room and found him sound asleep.

She turned off the music and placed her phone away.

She pulled her blankets, caressed his head and then kissed his forehead.

"Sleep tight little Angel" she said and was about to leave when Eden caught her hand in his sleep.

"Mommy don't go. Don't leave me alone" he said in his sleep.

"I won't go anywhere honey. I'm here for you" said Sara and kissed his cheeks.

She climbed on his bed and kept him company.

When he was sound asleep and snoring, she stepped to the bathroom and took a quick shower before getting on bed with Eden.

She kept holding him like her own child.

"I will have to find out why they all keep off from you Eden. I will find out even if you don't tell me" she said before she prayed and slept.

She had set an alarm clock to wake her up by 5 o'clock and she was up by that time.

She knelt down and asked God to take a step before her and guide through that day.

She also asked God for strength to bare with the lunatic family and also prayed for Eden to be happy.

He asked God to show her a way of how she'll take care of Eden.

When she was done, she got in her uniform and was ready for work.

She cleaned the whole house while everyone was still asleep.

"You are up very early miss Sara" said Bambucha moving around the compound outside.

"I have to go to the grocery store you see. I'll be burdened up if i keep sleeping" she said

"You are a hardworking one i see" said Bambucha

"Thanks for the compliment. Wait, isn't that Abram? Where is he going this early?" Asked Sara

"He is a workaholic. He leaves early for work and comes late everyday. He has never eaten food made from home since he came back from London" said Bambucha

"Why? No way! He'll have to eat my food whether he likes it or not. I can't suffer in the kitchen and then he won't eat" said Sara, dropped her broom and walked towards Abram who was almost out of the house to pick his car.

"Sir, won't you have breakfast?" Asked Sara blocking his way.

"People greet first" he said

"Okay sorry. Good morning sir" said Sara but Abram kept looking at his watch.

"I don't need it. Go straight to the point" he said

"Sir you are leaving without having breakfast" she said

"If you really wanted me to have your breakfast it should have been ready by now and served in my room. This is my time to leave for work. Move out of my way" said Abram

"If that's what you want, then i'll serve your breakfast in your room tomorrow before you leave for work" she said boldly.

"You are wasting my time" said Abram and pushed her off.

"Hey wait, your shoe laces are untied and your tie is crooked" said Sara and stood infront of him.

She went on her knees and tied his shoe laces.

When she was done, she put his tie and collar well.

"Could you drop me off at the grocery store?" She asked

"Oh, so thats why you were nice. You were doing this to get a favour? Unbelievable!" He said and moved but she moved with him.

"Come on, i don't want to delay the breakfast for the family. Just give me a ride. I'll use the bus to get back" she said

"You can as well use the bus to go now" he said and moved but she moved with him again.

"Sir please. I'll get late if i go to the station and wait for the bus. If the driver was awake, i would've asked him to take me there but he has to take the kids to school later. Look, i cared about you and made your tie and even tied your shoe laces. Can't you just do this favour for me?" Asked Sara pleadingly.

"You have 30 seconds to get your things and meet me in the car" he said

"Thank you sir" she said happily and rushed back to get the money for the stock.

She came back and took the front seat with Abram.

"Did you take your bath this morning?" Asked Abram holding his nose in disgust.

"Oh, i have to finish the chores first then i'll take a shower. I don't smell bad at all. Why are you covering your nose like that?" Asked Sara smelling her clothes and her breath and she saw that she was okay but he kept covering his nose.

"Take the back seat. Don't dare come close to me shitty girl!" He said angrily and Sara looked at him in shock.

"Don't call me that! You are the shitty stuff who can't even say sorry!" She said

"Is that so? Then get out of my car!" He yelled

"Sorry boss. I didn't mean that. I'll sit at the back" she said politely just to get the lift.

"Do I smell that bad?" She wondered as she got off the car and sat at the back seat.

"He doesn't know that he looks like my driver right now" she said softly and chuckled.
