章 13: CHAPTER 13
A green taxi parked at the front of the gate of Aria's house. The back door opened and Zona got down. She closed the door and the taxi driver drove off. She entered into the compound, she and security men greeted each other and going inside.
It was in the morning and she just resumed to work. She didn't use to leave there, she used to go at night and resumed back in the morning like a normal work. She was wearing a brown top with a blue jeans and carrying a blank bag that she always used to bring to work.
"Good morning, ma" the two maids cleaning the living room greeted her as she entered. She replied them and going to one of the room downstairs. She got there after few minutes, opened the door and entered into the room. The room was decorated simple and beautiful.
Zona dropped her bag with her phone on the bed, and started offing the cloth that she was putting on. She opened the wardrobe beside the bed, brought out the uniform and started changing into it. She looked at herself in the mirror, adjusted the cloth and leaving the room.
The room served as her changing room and rest room incase if she can't go home or there was a night party that day. She was the only one that have access to that room, and when others too have general room.
Zona locked the door, put the key inside the pocket of the uniform that she was putting on and came out to the living room. She looked at the workers working there, and going to the kitchen.
Sound of the kitchen door opened by her, and she entered. The workers there greeted her and busy with what they were doing. Zona was walking round the kitchen and checking if everything was in order.
"You haven't started making the coffee, and you know that is the first thing Madam will ask for. What are you now doing?" Zona said loudly.
"Sorry ma" one of the workers said and started pouring the coffee indigents inside the coffee marker. She on light to the marker, and continued with what she was doing before.
Zona continued supervising and making sure the food they were cooking was properly cooked and well managed. Zona checked her wristwatch, and looked at the time.
"Pour the coffee, and follow me. Madam will come out soon" she had known the time that Aria's mother used to come out to have her coffee, the time she used to eat and many things about her.
Zona started leaving the kitchen and the female worker followed her. Two of them got down to the living room at the same time with Aria's mother. Zona collected the coffee from the girl, put it on the table and the girl left.
"Good morning Ma" she greeted Aria's mother. She replied her and sat down on the chair. She carried the coffee, looked at it and started drinking.
"Ma, I want to ask that how is Aria?" Zona asked with low voice.
"She is fine, she is there at the hospital" she replied her, gave herself a break and continued drinking the coffee.
"How is her condition, hope she is not really injured ma?" Zona was saying one by one, and really fear Aria's mother.
"She is fine, or you are the one that is going to treat her if she is really injured" she replied and Zona quickly apologized.
"Should I tell the workers to prepare meal for her, her favorite meal" Aria's mother put the mug down on the table and looked up at Zona.
"She can't have all that for now, because she is in coma—"
"Oh! Oh!! My God" Zona shouted as Aria's mother said so, and her body started shaking. Aria was like a junior sister to her, and she really loves her.
"What are we going to do? What is the solution, ma?" Zona said nervously.
"She is already at the hospital with Doctors and Nurses. So, stop asking all these dirty questions" Aria's mother replied and continued drinking the coffee.
"Ma—Ma, hmm, can—can—I" Zona was just stammering and didn't know what to say.
"Can you let me enjoy my coffee, Zona" Aria's mother said with loud voice and changed her look. Zona apologized, and leaving the place.
She got back to the kitchen, took the jotting note and a pen. She left the kitchen through the back door. She got down to the compound and going to the front. She met the driver that used to drive Aria's mother sitting on a chair and pressing phone.
"Morning, please I need the address of the hospital that Aria is" Zona said and pointing the jotter to him.
"I don't remember the name of that hospital, but it's the only hospital in that estate" the man said.
"Just write the name and the address of that estate here" Zona said and the man collected the pen and jotting note from her.
"Thank you" Zona showed her appreciation as she collected the jotter and pen back from the man. She tore where he wrote the address, folded it and put it inside the pocket of the uniform. She turned back and going to the kitchen.

Alaina and Ethan were the only two children that the woman born when Henry was born by another woman. So, Henry was a stepbrother to them, and the woman was his stepmother. Henry's mother was like a mistress to the man.
"Welcome Daddy" Alaina said as she hugged their father tightly. She separated from their father after few minutes and really happy to see him.
"Let's go upstairs, change and come down to have breakfast" his wife said with smiles. She removed the jacket from his body and holding it.
"I saw Henry's car outside, is he back. We were unable to talk because I was busy throughout yesterday. So, where is he?" He asked.
"And, are you asking me that? Please, meet me upstairs when you are already" Alaina's mother said in harsh tone and going upstairs. Alaina too just turned back and went back to the dining room.
"Please, go and call Henry for me" talked to one of the workers, and she left. The man sat down on the chair and wanted to see Henry before going upstairs.

The worker got to Henry's room and started knocking at the door. It was the sound of the door that woke Aria up from sleep. She opened her eye, saw blanket on the floor and Henry coming out from the bathroom to open the door.
"Oh! You later slept on the floor" Aria said. Henry just ignored her and opened the door.
"Good morning" he said and showing out only his head.
"Daddy is back, and he is in the living room waiting for you Sir" the lady said.
"Oh! Daddy is back" Henry said with smiles on his face.
"Go and tell him that I am coming right now" he closed the door with excitement. He rolled the blanket from the floor, took a jacket and leaving the room. Sound of the door opened and closed.
"Who arrived that he is this happy?" Aria said and got down from the bed. She opened the door and followed him.
"Welcome back Daddy" Henry said as he got to the living room. Aria too got there, standing two inch far from them and starring at them.
"Come, come son" their father hugged him tightly and happy to see him. Alaina looked at them from the dining room and hissed.
"How was the trip Sir?" Henry asked, and two of them were happy to see each other.
"It was fine. Let me go and change, have breakfast and then we will talk son" their father said. He passed beside Henry and going upstairs.
"Thank God for seeing someone that is happy to see you among all the family" Aria said and Henry looked at her. He quickly took his eyes away from her and going back upstairs.

"Where is the car you took out?" Henry's father asked Ethan.
"I am asking you, where is the car you took out yesterday?" He asked with loud voice and standing at the front of him.
"I was attacked by some unknown men, and they hijacked the car from me" Ethan replied.
"Hmm! You were attacked and the car was hijacked, but you were not injured. You are still looking fresh and clean like this" Ethan frowned his face as his father said so.
"Do you think I am a fool, and you want me to believe that?"
"Daddy, I have told you what happened. So, if you like believe and if you like don't" he said arrogantly, and walked away from his father.

"Sir, we found the car with some drug dealers" a police officer said.
"No, it was not hijacked. It's your son Ethan that exchanged it with drug"
