Discovering Where Her Home Was Situated.

The cab man glanced at me not too long after the Range Rover car was driven past the gates that were opened straight into the compound.

And his face screamed, 'My job here is done'. And truly, his job here was done.

I was wondering whether I should tell the cab man to wait so he could drive me home after I was done doing what I wanted to do.

But would he agree to wait? Guess he'd want to go pick up other passengers. And I didn't know how long it would take me before I'd return to the cab so he could drive me home.

With all these in mind, I decided not to tell him to wait. I'd board another cab or a bus when I wanted to head home.

So I came out of the cab and paid the cab man before saying to him,

"Thanks for your service".

I had to thank him because I couldn't deny the fact that he did an excellent job. Trailing that Range Rover car without missing them from that place to this place...it wasn't an easy thing to accomplish.

"It's nothing, just doing my job". The cab man voiced out before driving off.

So right now, I was in an estate meant for different classes of wealthy people, and I'd discovered where Allison's home was situated.

I got to accomplish two things today. I discovered who Allison was, I saw what she looked like, and I'd discovered where her home was situated.

I could just imagine living in one of the buildings I was seeing in this estate. It would be so enjoyable, and I'd be living in my dream house.

Nice-looking duplexes that had almost everything a person would need in a house in them. Some had gates in front of them, while some didn't...

The one Allison was living in had a mighty gate in front of it. Seeing all these was just making me more and more determined to become successful in life.

I was carrying my school bag and was glancing around currently, then I muttered to myself,

"I can't even find a single soul on the road".

..Yes, there wasn't a single person walking on the road right now though people were residing here.

Maybe people were walking on the road at other parts of this estate, but not even a single person was walking on the road at the part that I was at.

What do I plan on doing next right now? Well, I wanted to see what Allison's house looked like. Yes, I'd already discovered where her house was situated, but I hadn't seen the building yet.

I had walked closer to her house, but I hadn't yet seen the building. How come? Well, that was because of the huge gate.

Yes, the gate was blocking everything, both the compound and the building itself...I wasn't seeing anything.

And I wanted to see what the building looked like. I can't come all the way to this place without seeing what her house looked like at least.

If possible, I'd love to step foot into the compound, and maybe do more after that...

But how was I going to go about that? How would I see what her house looked like, and step foot into the compound if possible? Well, I planned on knocking on the gate.

Yes, I planned on taking the easy way and see how it would go. If you think I was going to climb the fence and jump over it, then you're completely wrong.

That was too risky, and I don't plan on engaging in something that risky while in this estate. Knocking on the gate and waiting for someone to open it was better.

I was knocking on the gate right now, and you know what? I wasn't even thinking of what I'd do next when someone opens the gate.

What would I tell the person? Since I planned on stepping foot into the compound if possible, then how was I going to go about it?

Yes, I wasn't thinking about all these, I was just knocking on the gate.

I knocked on the gate a few times before it was finally opened. And who was the person that opened it? The gatekeeper. From the way he was dressed and so on, I could easily tell he was a gatekeeper because I'd seen one before.

It was these kinds of wealthy people that usually hire gatekeepers, so I wasn't surprised to see him at all...

"Who are you, and who are you looking for?". The gatekeeper inquired of me after opening the gate.

And it was at this moment I realized I didn't think about what I'd say when the gate had been opened. All I was thinking about was that I wanted to see the building, and if possible, step foot into the compound, and maybe do more after that.

'I should have thought about what I'd say. Shit!'. I thought to myself after the gatekeeper asked me that question.

I was just glancing at him without a single word flowing out of my mouth because I didn't know what to say in reply to his question.

And I can't tell him that I was looking for Allison or something 'cause it would be a very foolish thing to do that could land me in serious trouble.

The moment he calls out Allison, and she glances at me and said she didn't know me from anywhere, a lot of things could happen. I might be regarded as a bad person with bad intentions, and I might not be able to get out of this estate today.

So I have to be very careful with my words. I have to mind the things that would flow out of my mouth...

"Can I come inside first?". I uttered to the gatekeeper.

"Come inside? Are you serious? You haven't told me who you are, I don't know your reason for coming here, and you want me to let you come inside?". The gatekeeper voiced out with a kind of perplexed facial expression.

I hadn't yet seen the building, I couldn't even take a peek at it due to how the gatekeeper was standing. He was blocking everything that I was supposed to see.

He didn't open the whole gate to attend to me because it was completely unnecessary. He simply opened the gate where humans were supposed to pass when they wanted to step foot into the compound and maybe gain access to the main building.

And he stood in a way whereby the whole entrance to gain access to the compound and building had been blocked...that was the very reason why I couldn't see anything.

'I really need to see what the house looked like. This is so unfair'. I thought to myself with the gatekeeper still in front of me.

The gatekeeper stood there glancing at me, and I was also doing the same as well. Then my voice resounded again,

"I'm looking for a particular person".

The gatekeeper stepped away from the entrance that would lead to the house the moment I said that, then he stated,

"What is the name of the person you're looking for?".

The fact that the gatekeeper had stepped away from the entrance made it possible for me to see what the building looked like. I also set eyes on the vast compound and some luxurious cars on it.

I opened my mouth in awe the moment I set eyes on those things. Everything I saw was screaming luxury, these people were living the life...even the gatekeeper was living the life.

Allison was living like a complete princess because apart from the fact that there was a gatekeeper to help with opening and closing the gate with the luxurious things around, they also had servants.

These servants were handling all the house chores in the house, so Allison and her siblings always had to do nothing. All they needed to do was to live like princes and princesses...

This was exactly the kind of life I wanted for myself, and I knew I could make it possible with time.

So apart from the fact that I'd gotten to discover where Allison's home was situated, I had also seen some external parts of the house. That was an accomplishment to me.

But from the look of things, I wouldn't be able to step foot into the compound and do other things because the gatekeeper wouldn't let me considering the answer I planned on giving to him.

"Why are you opening your mouth? You haven't even answered the question I asked you. What is the name of the person you're looking for?". The gatekeeper uttered to me once again with his gaze focused on me.

..I'd already seen the house and the compound at least, so I was going to tell him a random name.
