Chapter 19 : THE STORY CONTINUES..

He became more serious that I must give him back his phone unless he will come tomorrow with police and arrest me, I became so confused.

I had just started work not even up to a week and someone is coming to accuse me of stealing, honestly i was short of words filled with rage, I wish I could bounce on the guy buy he is quite older than me, and he also bigger than me, so he had many advantage over me, he started until my madam called us and asked him what is the problem.

He narrated the story that I came across the road and stole his phone from the ladies shop that I went to keep the goods for customer, my madam was shocked and surprise at the same and her children were there too, it looks some how that someone would start a job today and be getting that kind of complain.

So my madam sent someone to go and call the lady that owns the shop, she came and my madam asked her if she saw when I came to keep that goods for her customer she said yes that I just dropped it and went back immediately that she was even watching me while I was going.

They told her that the guy standing there is accusing me of stealing his phone from her shop, she shouted and said it's a big lie, she said that I didn't even cross further from where I dropped that goods for the customer and I just went back, she told the guy to go and look for his phone somewhere else that I'm not with his phone, my madam and her children on hearing that confession from the lady, they now stood beside me and asked the guy to stop accusing me of what I did not do.

They asked me if I took his phone, I swore to them with everything I have as a human being that if I even saw the color of the phone may I never see what I'm praying for but if I didn't see the color of his phone talkmore of taking it that everything I place my hands on shall prosper exceedingly.

There is nothing I hate more than being humiliated and suffering, this two things can make me go against any rules to end it, I was already filled with rage but I couldn't do anything.

The guy insisted that I must give him back his phone, he left that night and promised me he will come tomorrow morning with his mother and police people.

I was just short of words and confused, I didn't know what to do, so when I got home I told my brothers what happened, they told me that the guy could be a fraudster or it will be miss identity but they told me that mostly it is what fraudsters usually do to get money from people.

My brothers told me to call them if he comes back the next day, I went to work the next day and I waited for the guy to come early in the morning but he did not come until it gets to 9:30 AM he came with a woman and a man in a vigilante uniform but then I thought it was a police man.

Immediately I called my brothers on phone and they left their work and rushed down to the supermarket, the guy came and pointed me to the police man and the woman but before they could come inside the supermarket two of my brothers Daniel and Collins had arrived there.

They didn't even want to ask the guy what happened immediately they got to the supermarket they started beating the guy like a mad man and the fake police vigilante man was even afraid because he knew what they came to do has gone wrong, the woman first escaped and the guy tried to escape but my brothers couldn't give me chance to run out.

My brothers were filled with rage that they nearly stabbed the guy with broken bottle when he fell down but madam saved him, while he fell down Daniel my brother had broken a bottle and took some piece of the bottle to stab the guy and madam rushed him and wiped him with the cane she was holding before my brother could leave the guy and escaped through the backyard of the supermarket and since then I've not seen the guy again till now.

It was the first most dangerous terrible experience that I had so far then, I was at the verge of despair, I didn't know what to do.

After the guy escaped my brothers went back to their various shops and from there every one in that plaza became afraid of me, I became famous in the area but I never wronged anyone.

I was always on my own in the shop I don't talk much because of that silly boy but after that incident the boy began giving me more respect even my madam's children began to respect me more.

I was working happily in the supermarket without any oppression or obstacles except when that silly boy decide to make restless, he would always be sending me unnecessary errands that he should run himself but he would rather send.

The silly boy was acting as if it is his mother's shop meanwhile the people that has the supermarket only took him from the village and brought him to the city to help his parents train him but he is over exercising his rights and his insulting everyone with it forgetting that " what is not yours can not be yours forever"

They later sent him back to his parents after 9 years empty handed because he had earned nothing but troubles..
