Chapter 2: **** My instincts are always right***
Miriam woke up feeling refreshed, she managed to get out of her bed into the bathroom to take a shower, one thing for sure is she loves being fast in everything she does. In no time she was already done despite the pain she was feeling ...but one this was certain and different this morning, she seems to be happy but can't place her hands on the origin of these new found happiness.
She went straight to the closet and to her surprise it was well stocked with cloths of different designs ,the section for shoe was well arranged and other accessories was neatly showcased, it speaks luxury and this left her smiling .The knock on the door brought her back from her daylight fantasy as she went to open the door...
" Good morning " iris said as she entered Miriam's room.
" Good morning " i responded with a smile as I try to adjust my towel.
" When you are done, would you mind joining me for breakfast? iris asked waiting for a positive response.
" No problem about that, ' just give me some minutes to finish up " I added
" Ok " she said as she left me to finish up.
Few minutes later Miriam was done as she went down for the first time as she was always in her room that is not different from an emergency ward. She was amazed by what she saw, it speaks art and culture mixed with contemporary designs , a mosaic portrait of a house with a palm tree and a young boy looking at it was visibly placed on the passage which was painted with white but the a small portion of the wallfor the mosaic portrait was different form the white wall as it was with different color all in grid form. I walked through the passage then the stairs coming to the sitting room which was beautified with different art designs, sculptures and flowers beside the television. the well designed sofas was placed opposite fire with blankets folded on top and this was different from the chair in the sitting room.
" You look lively this morning ' stoping me from analysing her sitting room.
" Come sit with me " she continued,
The dining was three steps higher that the sitting room, having a transparent curtain that signifies demarcation for both rooms. I made my way to the dining table ,it was a pancake and custard breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice In a transparent jar . I dished out a little portion for my self as we both ate quietly , and in no time we were done as I stood up and entered the kitchen which was by the left hand side of the dining to attend to the dishes and iris as well was tiding up the dining table.
I found out iris has a thing for white color because her kitchen wasn't left out except her aluminum kitchen utensils. Her kitchen is rectangular having the washing basin in the middle while the gas cooker was directly in front of the kitchen window .The house is just perfect for a single lady .
" Why would you use a car that has break issues " she asked sternly looking at me.
" I wasn't expecting her to ask me that out of the blue " I said to my self .
" Miriam ! " she called out when she realized I was lost in thoughts .
" Yes " I jolted back .
" Am asking you a question" ' iriz said holding my hand as she led me to the sitting room leaving the dishes in the washing basin.
Iris sat opposite me while still looking at me as if I will disappear any minute from now.
" Is there something in my eye " I said trying to divert from her initial question.
" Don't try to change the topic " she said with a serious face.
" I don't know " you know ' things just happen even the one's that wasn't planed for " I said shaking my head.
" Well I found out it was yours, because I found your driving license but it's kind of dripping red " she chipped in.
" My what ? I asked
" Your car " she said
" No it's actually not mine " I smirked ,
" It's for Annie my step mother, I continued. She told me I can make use of it and as you can see I did " I said .
" How foolish of me to do that "
" Why would you say that " iris asked looking confuse.
" You know, a leopard does not change its spot , I should have known this was one of her plan but I didn't .
" I don't quite understand any of the things you just said " iris replied.
" my step mother doesn't like me " she was just pretending all this year's that she did and now I can finally see it " I said nodding in affirmation.
" Whoa " it must be really hard " she said as she stood up to join me where I was as she pat my back.
" What of your mom? iris asked.
" My mom is late" she died six years ago and I know it wasn't ordinary . I said calculating.
" My step mother is responsible and I know it " I smirk
" You never can tell " iris chipped in.
" My instincts are always right " I boasted.
" you have been given a new chance to live so use it wisely, you know what I mean? she asked.
" I need to do something , after that I can now use it wisely " I teased her .
" I know you want to do alot of things but take your time to heal and think about it , you will find the answer within " she said gesturing to leave
" Don't worry " I said , as time goes on you will get the answer to all your questions, I told her with a smile .
" If I may ask , how did your step mother come into the picture "iris said looking intently at my face to get an answer.
" Well it just happened years ago " I said trying to picture the scene.
