He walked across to her looking slightly unkempt, his eyes fixated on her. She gave him a look that screamed, what? He pleaded that she told him what time it was on her wristwatch unknown to him that it was worn out and non-functional as a result of its lifespan and daily usage on the wrist of its wearer. She angrily shouted at him, asking if she resembled a time keeper. She rolled her eyes at him, hurled insulting words at him, mocked his unkempt looks and made to storm out of the mall, he grabbed at her hands and pleaded that she raised him some amount of money to buy bread, at this she scoffed at his hungered state and asked him to get a life. She stormed out without blinking. Next day, she walked into the highrise building, looking amazingly around, she got to the reception and tenderd her Curriculum Vitae as requested by the lady sitted behind the desk looking sharply and beautifully dressed. She was ushered to sit on a closeby roll of chairs while she awaits the arrival of the Executive Director, this she did. Few minutes later, she walked into the office of the interviewer. She was frozen at the sight that stood before her. He just smiled and called her to sit. In shaky legs she did and almost immediately knelt to apologise. He just smiled the more. Prior to this minute, her routine had been the same. She had fasted. She had prayed for favour. She had even tithed. She asked for Gods blessings to be lavished upon her life. She asked God to elevate her. She said, she wanted to change status, that she was tired of where she has been. She was tired of the hardship, the lack, the hunger and the stagnation she she has faced all along. Here, she was sitted before one chosen to be her destiny helper who out of pretense some days ago, bumped into her looking shabby and umkempt. What was she to do? Why had she been blind? Why had she forsaken the command to love and respect all irrespective of their class, status, age or appearance.
