Mum and dad were always fighting. I walked away from our house and began to think about what Kate’s mum said about me. I wish to be a normal kid like Kate. I wish to normal life. I wish to go to school like other kids outside our neighbourhood. I wish to be able to speak fluent and correct English instead of the Pidgin English that I was born and grew up with. Finally, I wish to leave our neighbourhood because I realized that all the residents in our neighbourhood were bad. I cried and blamed God for creating me in the first place in the kind of place where I find myself and to the kind of parents that I have. I said that God must be partial for giving Kate normal parents and giving me bad ones. Before I met Kate, I’ve always decided to be like Axe.

I haven’t seen him that day because he has gone out before I arrived for work but I knew where he kept his keys. I think I was the only staff he told that. He was a rich man but he lived alone. Since I’ve been working, I didn’t know any of his families and I knew few of his friends only. There was a particular one among them who was very close to him so he was also aware of where he kept his keys and he was inside the room that day before I got there but he had left before I got there so we didn’t meet.           I greeted him and he responded well. I continued cleaning while he began looking for something.
