NOT HER REFLECTION By Sobowale Olufunke Episode 6

...on the long run, Daniel came back from work around 7am and called myself and Tofunmi privately.

"There's something I've been wanting to tell you, Ife, but now that your sister is healthy I can say it now. You know in this world, nothing comes free.

I work for my money and you need to assist me in making money because I've tried for you and your brother". Daniel said

" Nothing comes free? Did Daniel just say all these?"I thought

"No problem, we'll help you with anything, but how can we be of help?" Tofunmi asked
Daniel smiled, "Ife, Tofunmi, the reason why I decided to help both of you was because you've got the perfect shape, I'm sure you do see some ladies that do come to visit me?"

" Daniel, you haven't said what you want us to do for you ".I replied

" Ehn, yeah, you'll have different appointments with rich people, foreigners". He answered
"Appointment? What kind of appointment? You know that we're not well educated, so I can't speak English fluently". Tofunmi said

"Tofunmi should stop being foolish, does she not understand what this man want?"I thought

" Well, what I mean is that you'll have to please them by selling your body, you'll really earn money out of it". Daniel smiled

"So what  you are saying is that, we'll sell our body and give you the money". I said angrily

Tofunmi went out of his room, while I followed her.

" Ife, what are we going to do? where are we going to stay? I can't work as a prostitute". Tofunmi said

I ignored her and went to bed while Shina kept on asking what happened but we didn't tell him anything.

Shina was to go to school the next day and we haven't bought any foodstuffs for him, I thought of my dad.

Maybe I should try begging my dad for money, I've no choice, I thought.

When it was around 11am in the morning, I called Tofunmi and Shina, I told them to get ready to go to our daddy's house.

"No, I'm not following you, I don't want any stress, I just left the hospital". Tofunmi said

" I'm not going too, I don't want any embarrassment ".Shina said.

" Please, let us try, Shina needs to take some things along with him tomorrow" I begged them

"Okay, let us go". Tofunmi said

When we got to our Dad's apartment, we saw our stepsister and her brother playing in the compound, when they saw us, they hissed at us and ran inside and my stepsister should be around 11years old, her mother must have told her bad things about us, and her brother should be around 9.

Before I could knock the door, my stepmother came outside and started cursing us "what are you doing here?

Tuberculosis children, Awon Oloriburuku, Get out of my husband's house or I will let my dog chase you out".

" Ma, please we want to see our daddy". I begged my stepmother with tears.

As I was trying to beg her again, My dad came outside
"Yes, what's the problem? How can I help you?" My dad asked

Blood of Jesus, My dad? Well just for Shina.

"Daddy.." I tried explaining. He slapped me, Tofunmi and Shina were shocked.

"I don't recognize three of you as my children, the day you left this house was the day I disowned three of you, don't ever come to this house or I'll deal with you". Mr. Olanrewaju said.

Mr. Olanrewaju and his wife both went inside the house while his children were mocking us.

" My daddy said that you should leave, what do you want or do you want to beat me?" My stepsister eyed us
Tofunmi slapped her,"You little brat". My stepsister started crying.

"Mommy, daddy, help me o, they want to kill me" while her junior brother ran inside to call their mother. Then we left the compound immediately...

"Sister Ife, did I not warn you about us going to their house? Now, look at how they embarrassed us". Tofunmi said

" Tofunmi, Shina, both of you should go back to Daniel's house, I'll meet you there". I said.

"Where are you going?" Tofunmi asked

"Just go, wait till I come back" I answered.

"Okay, just be careful". Tofunmi said
Afterwards, I boarded a bike to Edwin's apartment.

Guess what next?

Watch out for it
