Hester felt the presence of another and entered the room.

'Hester what is your problem? ' Agatha stood with contempt on her face.

'Agatha what are you doing in my room? '

'What is that suppose to mean? '

Hester sidepass her mother. 'I told you not to enter my room without consent.'

'You are very funny girl, I am a free born of this house. ' She swirled like she was on a runway. 'I can enter anywhere I so desire.'

'Oh yeah? ' Hester gave a short laugh. 'I am a slave in this house, at least Daddy made that clear yesterday. This is the only privacy I am entitled to and you …' She raise an index finger.'will respect it. You must knock. '

'So knocking is your problem? '

'Yes it is my problem Agatha! Daddy don't enter without knocking, Mummy actually hit the brass knocker thrice before entering. So who are you not to knock? '



Empress went wide eyed at that piece of information.

'Be careful Hester, mind the way you raise your voice at me. I ain't your mate,respect me.' She pointed her warning finger.'

'Respect is reciprocal. Since I came back, I have not stepped into your room. You complain that am this and that, leave me alone and respect yourself!' She retorted.

Agatha clapped her hands and laughed haughtily. 'Another Mike Tyson in the house. Are you going to beat me if I don't stop? '

'Get out of my room now! '

'What! You are crazy for real.' Agatha glared at her.


'I'm sure your ears don't need to be cleaned with warm water or probably some cosmetics. Get out of my room now! '

'Darling, take it easy.' Empress pat her at the back sensing anger from the sparkle in her eyes.

Hester shook herself free as she advance towards her sister 'Mummy if she don't leave my room this moment, she will be recipient of something she wouldn't be able to explain. '

'Come on Aggie, let's go.' Empress held fuming Agatha firmly and force towards the door.

'Oooho! Mummy leave me alone! Leave me let me teach her a lesson.' Agatha protested.

'Come on Sweetheart, you don't have to get furious, she is your baby sis. She doesn't mean it.' Empress soothed.

'I mean what I said about my phone. ' Hester called after them.


Hester grabbed a remote and pressed a button, one of her favorite song began playing, she increased the volume until there was space for nothing else.

'I don't want to see anyone. ' Hester looked up from the novel she was reading.

'Aunty Hester, I am the one.'

'Come in.' She returned and a smile formed across her lips.

The door opened and an elderly woman came in.

'Mama the Ma! ' She hailed excitedly, cast the novel aside and scrambled out of bed. 'I've not seen you since yesterday. She place an arm around her and look at her lovingly. 'How are you? '

'I'm Fine my dear.' Aunty Joy, the supervisor of the cooks beamed.

'Hope the cough has subsided, Hope the medications helped.'

'It worked like magic my child. The chokiness vanished before I realised it .' Aunty Joy snapped her fingers emphatically.

'Good. Don't Stop taking them until you have finished them.'

'You know me now.' She chuckled. 'What will I do without you. Thank you.'

'Thank God. ' Hester grinned

'Your father asked me to give you this.' She handed over the phone.


'Thanks.'

She took Hester free palm in hers. 'I heard what happened from the cleaners. Are you …?'

'Mama the Ma, I'm Fine.' She laughed.

Though Aunty Joy was still worried, she decided not to pressure her. 'It is well. Dinner is set.'

'I am not interested in dinner. '

'Your father sent for you .'

'My answer remains. ' Her countenance did not change.

'When you were much younger and you didn't like what was served for dinner,... '

'I usually looked for you and whisper in your ears- Aunty J, can you please make this for me or that, when others have retired to their closet, I go into the kitchen and take my food in the place I tagged- my favorite spot in the kitchen. ' Her eyes shone. 'I remember like yesterday. '

They laughed.

'I will package your dinner and bring it to your room instead, just in case you need it in the night. ' She touch her face.

'No Ma, I wouldn't. Don't worry about me.'


Starvation wouldn't help matters, it will only affect your health.'

'Food and happiness work side by side.' Hester pat her back.

'See you tomorrow dear.'

Hester pecked her.'Sleep well. Don't forget your medications. '

'No love, I won't. ' She left the room.

Hester dived back to bed.


Aunty J was the oldest and of the employees in the household, she was also one of the longest serving. She had loved Hester interest in cooking, and had thought her everything she needed to know and even how to knit. They had to so close that things we wouldn't even tell her mother, she confided in her. Aunty J also seeked her opinion in other matters especially health wise. Hester while she was away used to send her clothings, medications and other things. Theirs was more like a mother -child relationship.

Empress hit the brass knocker, Douglas knocked on the door.

'Sir, I think she is asleep, she locked her door forty five minutes ago. ' Kabiru told them.

Douglas knocked once more. 'Hester, I want to talk to you! '

'Probably she is asleep dearest. This is about her sleep time.' Empress said agreeing with the guard.

'No lunch, no dinner, no …no … she needs to eat.' He was exasperated. He hit the brass knocker.

Empress glance at her wrist watch. When is past eight, she hardly take anything except water.'

He gave her stern look. 'You seem to be remembering the right things at the wrong time.'

She took his arm and smiled. 'Baby, let's go to bed. Kabiru, Kasali, don't forget your duty.'

'Yes Ma.' They chorused.

She led her husband away.
