I finally arrived at the famous city my mother always talk about after a five hour journey. The streets was bustling with people of various class and vehicles that belonged to people of different caliber.
I had to look for a place to stay before it gets dark. I walked from streets to streets looking for a place to stay until I finally found a run down apartment. Luckily the landlady was staying near there because I had no phone to call. The rent was for a year and it took half of the money I had.
After the landlady saw me,she asked" I can see you are not from here. What brought you here" " My mother told me stories of this place and that was why I decided to come" I replied
" Then why didn't she come with you" she asked. I felt a little sad when she asked that question and thought of the things that might have happened if she was still alive.
"She's late" I replied. "Oh,so she is still coming but something delayed her" she replied
What a slow woman I thought "Nevermind, can I get the key to the apartment now" I said
"Yes,here you go" the landlady said and gave me the key.
"Take care of yourself" the landlady said and I gave her a faint smile. I sighed as I walked down the corridor heading to my apartment.
I finally saw it,room 4. It had a blue door and I have to enter quickly because the corridor gave me the chills.
The apartment was a self contain. It has a bedroom,toilet and a small kitchen. The paint on the wall was fading. The apartment in general was dusty and dirty.
I had to clean it, luckily there was a broom,mop,waste basket and packet,all the cleaning material was available. I wasted no time and started cleaning. It was not difficult for me since I have done more than that when I was still at home, wait that was not my home,it was just a house. The day my father started abusing me it was no longer my home.
I cleaned every nook of the apartment and by the time I was done my stomach growled. I was hungry. I quickly took my bath,wore a clean dress and headed out to look for food.
I was lucky to see a food stall immediately I came out of the complex.
I brought a burger and bottle of water and went back to my apartment. I finally settled down. No one was around me, I was not busy again. I broke down into tears. I was finally free, free from the abuse,free from the torture. I can finally start a new life, I know it will not be easy but I will go through it and finish well. I will start looking a job tomorrow probably in a hotel because I can not get a job in a company because I just graduated.
I had no experience or connections. I will just sleep for now and tomorrow will work itself out.
