Angelina

Episode 27

I was so shocked to see that tatoo.

I quickly casted my mind back. I had seen that animal somewhere before. I was suddenly confused, why was it not any other animal but an anaconda? I
am so much suspecting this girl more than ever. But,what can I do to confirm this suspicions of
mine? She quickly got in her feet and pulled her uniform down,so I also needed to start acting normal.

” Oh sister,sorry okay? Are you hurt? ”.
” Not at all Angelina. I am okay ”. She said,breathing through her mouth. ” Shall we continue with our journey? ”.

” Yes we shall….let’s go ”.
We walked upstairs and I knocked on Nickel’s door and opened the door then entered with Rita.

He was lying on the bed with his phone in his hands. I went close to him and helped him sit up.

” How are you doing babe? ”. I asked and sat besides him.

” I’m okay. Dad told me you went ti pack your clothes to come here…are you done? ”.
” Yes…hope you’ve eaten as well ”.
” Yes. Urrrrmmmm…who is this? ”. He asked,looking at Rita.

” Oh sorry. That is Rita…and she’s…..”. I didn’t finish talking when that girl quickly interrupted me.

” My na!e is Rita Lawrence. And I am the therapist sent here to help you walk again. How are you
doing? ”. She asked,looking at him seductively.

” I am okay…beautiful ,’. Nickel said,smiling.

” Hey! You only call me beautiful… why are you referring to her too?! ”.

I was so angry and I used one corner of my eyes to look at that tall girl standing there,who was still
setting her eyes on Nickel. I stood up and went closer to her.

” Can you do me a favor and get out?! I must have a word with myyy boyfriend ”. I said.
” I am sorry Angelina, but I am his therapist, and I must start my job right now ”.

” What? So you won’t get out or what? ”.
” Oh come in Angelina…. Why are you acting like this? You do know that,I must start walking as
soon as possible. Why are you acting so stiff? ”. Nickel asked frowning.

” What?! I am acting stiff? Nickel? ”.
Because of what he said,it really made me sad and disappointed. I said nothing but just walked
out of the room,I heard Nickel calling me to come back,but if he thinks I will go back and make him
feel bug by thinking he has so much power over my emotions, then he’s absolutely mistaking.

” I am sorry for her behavior towards you. I don’t even know why she acted that way ”.
” Oh don’t bother. That is how girls act in times of jealousy ”.

” Jealousy?! F–k that,she’s bit no demn reason to be jealous…she already knows I have got eyes
for her alone ”.

” Wow…then she’s very lucky….”.

She went closer with a small first aid bag which the original Rita used to look after her patients.

She opened the bag and brought out a thermometer and placed of under Nickel’s armpit.

” Can I touch your leg please? ”.
” Rita…you are my therapist, do you have to ask for permission to do anything? ”.

” Well…yeah. I have always dome that with everyone else ”. She said and smiled cunningly.

” Okay madam…you may touch my leg ”. Nickel replied in laughter.

” Do you feel my touch? ”. She asked as she touched the tip of his toe.

” Yes,I do ”.
” Okay,then that’s a good sign. Then this would be easier than I thought ”.
” How? ”.

” If Tu were not able to feel my touch, then that would have mean…you were completely crippled.

But it’s all good. I will massage you o well,you will jump up on your feet in just a week’s time ”

” You are absolutely sure? ”.
” I am your therapist… you should trust me. I what what is best for you ”. She did and removed the
thermometer. ” Your temperature is good as well.

” Okay ”.
” Okay,now that I know you can feel my touch on your toe…then we will start therapy tomorrow. So
please, prepare your MIMD and Herr for it,okay? ”.

” Okay madam ”.
” Oh shoot! ”.

They both laughed and Lady Molio took her small first aid bag and got to her feet and stood at the
opposite side of the bed,facing Nickel.

” I am taking my leave now ”.
” Thanks any way. Please, do me a favor and call Angelina for me when you meet her downstairs
”.

” I’d surely do that ”.
” Enjoy the rest of your day miss Rita ”.
Lady Molio who smiled evilly when she turned her back to Nickel thought to herself that,she ha done a good job. She stepped outside and met the maid (Diana) and she was taken to her room.

Outside the mansion, I had no idea on what to do.

I wanted to put all the pieces together but it was so confusing. I was wondering if moving into the house was a good idea at all.

And am very disappointed. I mean,what’s so special about that Rita girl? She’s not beautiful at all.

This was not my jealousy speaking, I was truly speaking and I was sure enough. There was
something fishy about that girl…for all I knew,the anaconda tattoo on her tight was not just a
coincidence. Anaconda was a symbol, standing for the sea world.

But I don’t know why I couldn’t see through her real being. Mr Brandon stepped out of the house
and stood behind me. I am sure he was wondering why I had come outside to sit there alone like
that.

” Angelina, you are here? ”.
” Yes…do you need anything? ”. I asked in a hostile voice.

” Wow,that voice tone…what’s the matter? Who has got you upset this hot afternoon? ”.
” I am okay ”.

I didn’t want Mr Brandon to know anything for now. I knew he would surely start saying that I was
too young to be feeling this strong jealousy about someone I don’t even know. But upon seeing
Rita for the first time,I had a feeling that I had known her forever and I was going to do my own investigation to reveal her true colours. But Mr Brandon was a powerful man of God,how come
he’s seen nothing fishy about that Rita?

” Are you sure you are okay Angelina? ”.
” Mr Brandon, can I ask you a simple question please? ”.

” Go ahead ”.
” Does well….does….does he let you see everything? ”.

” Who? ”.
” Oh come on Mr Brandon… You should know who am talking about”.

” Ah,but you should also let me know who you are talking… I don’t know what Tu are taking about
right now ”.

” Hmm!m…okay. I meant,the one you pray to ”.

” Why can’t you mention his name? ”.
” It was one of the rules Mr Brandon ”. I said and he sat besides me. ” I can’t mention his
name,else thunder would strike me ”.
” Who created you?! ” Mr Brandon asked in a loud voice.

” God ”. I was shocked I mentioned God’s name for the first time in a long time.
Mr Brandon looked at my face with a smile. Oh my God,he did that as a trick. He intentionally
asked that question because he knew my mind would be away from it. I hugged him tightly and he
hugged me back.

” You see Angelina? ”. He said and stopped hugging ”. Did any thider strike you? ”.

” No ”.
” See? Those demons are liars. The devil has never did the truth. He only makes the lie looks like
truth,and the truth looks like a lie just to steal God’s children. And there is only one reason why he
does that ”.

” Why? ”.
” He doest that because God has given us power to defeat him. Bible says,resist the devil,and he
will flee ”.

” But Mr Brandon, how do we know that someone is a devil? ”. I intentionally asked.
” By praying my dear ”.

” Does God reveal everything in the spirit to his prophets? ”.

” No my dear. God chooses to reveal why he wants to his prophet. Sometimes, God reveals
nothing at all to me,when he wants to teat me in a way to strengthen my faith more ”.
” Nickel and I had an argument ”.
” Over what? ”.

” Well…he called,he called that therapist of his a beautiful girl ”. I said with a frown and pulled lips.

Mr Brandon burst into laughter, clapping his hands together.

” Oh I get it now. So my little prophetess has started feeling the ‘j’ word ”.

” It’s not funny Mr Brandon ”.
” Come in,let’s go and see him ”.
” No! ”.

” I said,let’s go! ”.

We both stood up,entered the room and headed to Nickel’s room. We entered without knocking
and when he saw me,I saw his face bright up like the sun with a smile. But I didn’t return the smile
at all.

” How did it go with you and your ? ”. Mr Brandon asked.

” She’s a nice person ”.
” Okay good ”.

” But I don’t think Angelina thinks the same way dad ”.

” Oh give me a break! You tries quarreling with me beacsie of her! And you did nothing when I was even walking out,did you?! ”. I asked angrily.

” Oh come on,you know that if I could walk,I would have followed you and stopped you from leaving!

But no…you didn’t even mind me when I was calling,did you? That is why that nurse is
here…to take care of me,so I can start walking again and be happy with you.

So what wrong was it
if I called her beautiful? You know that,you are my original beauty ”.

” Oh whatever ”.
” Both of you should just shut up! ”.
Mr Brandon said and his phone rung loudly then he answerd.

” Hello doctor Graham ”.
” Hello pastor Brandon… has the therapist arrived? ”.

” Oh,long ago sir. She’s very efficient as I have studied ”.

” Good…am glad you like her ”.
” Nickel thinks she’s okay. That’s all that matters ”.

” Okay,can you give her the phone so I speak with her for a moment sir? ”.

” Of course…”. Mr Brandon put the phone away from his mouth. ” Excuse me guys,I will be back.

But you two better fix your problems like adults would. Matured adults… It is you who wants to be
in a relationship. I will be back ”.

Mr Brandon said and got out,heading to Lady Molio’s room.

(Lady Molio’s Room).
The queen mother was standing there,laughing together with lady Molio for successfully entering
into the Brandon’s mansion.

” Angelina is so stupid,she could not even figure you out. He brains are truly not matured ”.

” No one suspects me your highness… So what would be our next plan? ”.
” Our next plan would be a bomb. My first target is that stupid Nickel! I would love very much to
eliminate him from the picture ”.

” How? ”.
” By making him fall in love with you… That will completely break Angelina into pieces… And Mr
Brandon, it will get him disappointed ”.
” He is so much in love with Angelina my queen,how are we going to execute that plan? ”.
The queen raised her hand in mid air and her eyes turned red immediately. And a red crystal, shaped in the likeness of love appeared into her hands.
” By giving him a love portion ”. She said and stretched her hand,containing the love portion to
Lady Molio.
” Love portion? ”.
” Put this portion in his drink… And when he drinks it,he will fall madly in love with you. Do your
things fast,because this portion expires in seven days! I need to eliminate this family trying to save
Angelina. Because I need Angelina back in the cult. She’s daring,fearless and has all the qualities
to be my successor. Is that clear?! ”.
” Yes my queen ”. She said and took the love portion.

There was suddenly a knock on the door and the queen disappeared, then Lady Molio opened the
door. It was Mr Brandon standing there and looking at her suspiciously.

” Rita,who were you talking to? ”.
” Sir…it was my mum. She called to ask how I was doing ”.

” But I heard you saying the word ‘my queen’ ”.

” That’s how I call my mum…she’s my everything ”.

” Any way…doctor Graham is on the phone and will like to have a word with you ”. Mr Brandon
said as he stretched his hand with the phone. ” Take it ”.

” Oh no! What mistake have I done? What if this stupid doctor recognise my voice and realise am
not the real therapist? He will surely expose me! ”. Lady Molio thought as she stood there
shivering and sweating.

” What is it Rita? Are you not going to take the phone? ”……..
