OLIVIA

Being back home felt strange and familiar at the same time. Every room I entered filled me with nostalgia and vivid memories of my grandmother and I. The house was dirty and full of dust. Walls needed paint and floors needed to be scrubbed.

I roughly wiped my tears away as I cleaned. I have cried enough at the graveyard; it was time for me to act now not to cry, a knock came through the door, and I went to open. May was standing on the other side of the door with a pretentious smile on her face.

The woman must think I was still the same naïve Olivia from before. “Yes?” I said with a raised eyebrow. “Olivia, it’s me, May.” Did she really think I didn’t know who she was? But I went along with her. “Oh, I couldn’t recognise you, it’s been so long.” She pushed me aside and went inside.

It annoyed me but I kept my mouth shut. “Goodness! This house needs a good scrubbing! I heard about your arrest, and I want you to know that I didn’t believe a word they said. Media can be cruel but don’t worry, I am here now.” I rolled my eyes and went back to what I was doing. May liked acting like she had influence when the only thing she had was a craving for it.

She looked disappointed that I was ignoring her. “Anyway, was coming from work, and I saw that the gate was open here. I wanted to see who it was since your grandmother is no longer…” my glare made her stop talking and swallowing hard.

“Well, it’s good to have you back. We should have dinner sometime and don’t worry, am buying.” I wished she could just stop talking. Her voice was annoying, and her fake smiles made me want to puke. “I heard Sandra now lives in your home and is with your husband. Am sorry about that, you know some people can be cruel.”
