A WEEK LATER“........ nhasi ndaterera....hiya honde......” a happy voice sang, while the person who was singing was busy feeding chickens in the coop.Looking at the chicks that had developed in the previous week, Nomsa felt high, as if she were high on narcotics.The chicks were barely one week old when she arrived, and they have grown considerably in the previous week thanks to her excellent care.She didn’t have to worry about them going hungry because there was enough food at home.What struck her the most was that not a single chick perished over this time period. She was familiar with the concept of purchasing one hundred hens and having about ten or more of them die by the time they were ready for slaughter.And this process is usually initiated quite early.If it was that farm before, at least three of the five chicks by now would have died, but despite the cold, Avita’s chicks were thriving.“I’m going to miss you guys!” she wailed as she poured the final pail of water for t
Avita was busy putting up her makeup on her face two days later as she sat on the small stool singing a melody.It wasn’t every day that she got to dress up like this, and because the occasion demanded it, she had no choice.After applying some powder to her face, she applied lipstick and sprayed some perfume.When she was finished, she stood up and headed over to the full-length mirror, where she whirled around, assessing herself to see if she looked decent or not.“How can someone be this beautiful?” After realizing that everything was on point, she shamelessly applauded herself.Avita was going on an outing with Lucilla, who had invited her two days previously to just go out and have fun.And because her weekend was free, she saw no harm in spending time with the other and recharging.At the same time, she’ll try to find out what happened to Miguel, whom she hasn’t heard from in over a week.‘A shameless bastard!’ she exclaimed as she thought of him.‘You think I can’t survive with
As her hand finally disengaged from this flirty human being, Avita blushed.‘How can a lady be this shameless?’ she mused as she glanced at Tanaka, whose gaze had never wavered for a second.All of this was in the eyes of Lucilla, who was completely taken aback and couldn’t understand what was going on.“After hearing Lucilla talk about you, I became so intrigued that I decided I needed to see you for myself one day. And, to be honest, I can’t help but feel excited now that I’ve seen you. It was well worth the trip!” Tanaka boastfully praised, her eyes sparkling as she glanced at Avita.Avita stared hopelessly at Tanaka, who refused to stop acting the way she was, even though a part of her was celebrating. After all, every woman enjoys being praised, and Tanaka was an expert at it.“Thank you for the compliment,” she replied humbly.Seeing this encounter, Lucilla, who had been taken aback earlier, looked at Tanaka in surprise, “you.... you can’t possibly be eyeing my friend, right?” L
Avita nudged Lucilla, who was fiddling with her fork instead of eating, and questioned worriedly, her gaze fixed on the sullen Tanaka, “are you sure she will be, okay?”When Lucilla heard Avita’s concern in her voice, she replied, “Don’t worry. She is already in good health. You’ll be able to tell whether she’s upset. She just has a big appetite,” reassuringly.“Huhu, that frightened me. That’s what I assumed... Anyway, now that she’s fine, I can relax,” she exhaled a breath of relief after hearing what Lucilla had to say.Tanaka raised her head and stared at Avita as if she had been wronged, and her expression made her appear so cute that Avita felt compelled to abuse the other for a little period.“Are you certain you don’t want to consider it?” Tanaka asked, leaving Avita stunned for the umpteenth time.“Um, umm. Tanaka, we barely know one other, and I’m not into girls. I apologize for not being able to return your feelings. Being friends, on the other hand, won’t be a problem,” Av
At this point, everyone’s attention was drawn back to Avita, whose cheek was red and swollen. She didn’t seem to have gotten just one smack, but several. Everyone felt sorry for her when they saw her.Lucilla didn’t want to let go after seeing her friend’s puffy cheek and red eyes, as well as how strong she was fighting to keep back the tears.However, she knew when to stop thinking about the people who had surrounded them and were watching the display.So, she reluctantly let the lady leave and returned to her buddy without saying anything.“Let’s leave this place!” she exclaimed.Avita only bowed her head, and tears streamed down her face.“Da, da, da.”“Pi li pa da, pi li pa da,” heavy footsteps approached unexpectedly, signaling the arrival of several individuals.As the observers were taken aback by whatever had just arrived and approached the hectic scene, gasps could be heard.Even those who were filming the disaster put their phones away; after all, they weren’t so stupid to b
“........... Let us love one another, ye ye ye, what are you saying....ye ye ye...”Avita, who was finally in a good mood, was busy preparing dinner for herself while humming a remix of various songs as one.‘You haven’t even checked in on me at this point. You absolutely have no heart. Because you want to play this game, dear, I will make you regret it, trust me!’ she swore inwardly as she reflected on Miguel’s failure to look for her, call her, or visit her.She had left the house earlier, wanting to do something that would catch his attention and entice him to return, but who knew she would run into one of his other mistresses and be caught off guard?If you’re wondering why she suddenly changed when she was a good girl who seemed upright and just got out of the way owing to Miguel, all she has to say is that she got tired of pretending.She had nearly lost her actual personality after living with Patrick for too long, and she was honestly going insane with everything. And now that
Avita was exhausted after finishing everything, and it was time for her to sleep.While she was getting ready for bed, she had no idea that someone was restless and couldn’t stop gazing at the phone, hoping for a phone call.“........if you need someone who can love you while he’s gone, baby, you’ve got my number............”The ringing tone woke her up, and she cursed as she reached for the phone.She reached for her phone, yawning and opening her eyes drowsily, and gazed at the screen with groggy eyes.‘Umphh, do you take me for an easy person?’ she scoffed as she put back the phone.She was no longer in the mood to sleep because she was already awake and the phone was ringing nonstop.She cursed again when she checked the time because she despised the egoistic caller who had called her.Avita dragged her feet towards the bathroom after getting out of bed, putting on a robe, and slipping on some morning shoes.Before brushing her teeth and cleaning her face, Avita emptied her bladd
TWO HOURS LATERShe was conflicted as she looked at the familiar villa she hadn’t seen in ages.‘I wonder whether he did it all for his lovers as well!’She remembered her first visit to this location, and she was rather taken aback. It wasn’t the price of the villa or the wealth that filled it, but Miguel’s boldness to hang her portrait on the wall.Seeing her face in this setting astounded her so much that if she had been naive, she would have fallen for the man and adored him as a god. Fortunately, she was aware of this.He was out to get her from the start, and she was there in the open to be led to the trap.And if she hadn’t been a part of such a great organization, she would have given her everything to him and imagined she was the only one.But, unfortunately for him, she was a hunter rather than a prey.She had missions as a member of the Order, and unlike lower members like Nomsa and Helen, she was more of an executor who got her hands dirty when necessary.And her major goa
