THE NANNY AFFAIR

“Salem? What are you doing here”

I veered back and saw the same girl I ran into a while ago, it could only mean one thing, Riya is the daughter to Elena, I should have suspected when she called her name.

“Baby! Do you know him?”. Elena asked covering her attention to her, Riya shook her head and explained what happened a while ago.

Elena falls her eyes and asks me the weirdest question, “who did you think, she was the moment you hugged her?”. Elena inquired.

A weak smile drapped around my face, I explained my self telling a white lie, surprised she believed, and ask Riya to walk me to my room.

Slowly we walked closer to my room, she pushed the door open, and guess what? It was the same room I  stayed in while growing up.

My eyes loomed around the room, Riya walks in behind and saw the stunned look I had on my face.

“Are you okay?” She asked gaining my attention, “I am okay Riya” I answered back with a weak smile.

I tried to hide the raging emotions I felt, being back to the same home I once called mine, I took notice of my pictures hung on the wall and walked close to it.

“Do you know him?” She asked once again, “no! I do not!” I lied to her because the little boy in the photo frame stands in front of her.

“Hmm, Okay, mom says he died in an accident, with his father, after they tried to steal from her! Like who steals from his own family”.

My eyes widened up heeding to her words, it felt like Elena was trying to turn her family into a raging monster, but In reality, she was the monster.

Blah blah blah blah blah” Riya blabs her word to me, quietly I listened but when she attempted to call my father a gigolo, it nudges me to the wall.

“Enough Riya, don’t talk about the dead okay, have some respect and if you don’t know anything, why don’t you shut up”.

Without thinking I yelled out my frustrations on her,  she veered back sensing a weird aura around me.

She says “Salem, are you okay and why are you getting defensive about people you don’t even know and don’t you dare talk to me this way, I am your boss’s daughter and my mom won’t lie to me okay”.

Urgh, defensive again about the same person, if only Riya could see that the woman whom she loves so much, is a devilish witch, I believe it will bring her back to her senses.

I bottled up my anger and apologize to her, Riya shouldn’t be blamed because she follows the rules and regulations of the one she called mom, someday her blindfolds will fall and she will know who Elena Khan truly is.

“Excuse me”

I ambled out of the room as she watched me leave in a pissed-off mood.

I veered down the stairs and bumped into a young lady, “hey look where are going too?”. She angrily pushed me back, lifting my eyes to her.

I was so not in the mood to banter words, I walked away leaving her in disarray.

“Idiot!” She turns and watched me leave.

I walked over to my car and rested my back on it, Riya’s comment harmed me but if that wasn’t enough, a man almost ran me over with his car.

The car screeches over in my direction).

I stood my ground and watched as he walked out of the car when he finally took notice of me.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
