His Obsession
1
Anna
Most of the people have moved to the city.
Anna
There are schools, a college in this town.
Anna
Markets. But no shopping malls or movie theaters.
Anna
But I prefer the fields, the lakes and the big trees.
Anna
I live with my mother. We have a stationery shop.
Anna
My father passed away when I was little. Since then life has been like this.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Anna. You are already of marriage age. Please marry the guy aunty brought for you.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
What do you not like about him? He lives in the city, earns well.
Anna
I don't want to marry that guy.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Is it because of me? Are you worried who will look after me after your marriage?
Anna
Plz stop nagging about the same thing?
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH LIFE THEN???? LIVE IN THIS PLACE???? WHERE THERE ARE NO FACILITIES???
Anna
I will figure something out.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
WHEN???? AFTER MY DEATH????

Aaron
The first time I met her was the worst day of my life.
Aaron
I no longer had any control over myself.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
ANSWER ME!!!
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
!!!!!
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Yes yes. What do you need sir?
Aaron
Are you hiring workers?
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
........
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Well. We do need help, but we don't earn that much money. I can't afford to hire.
Aaron
I just need food and a place to live.
Aaron
Furthermore, I recently lost both my parents. I don't have anywhere to go.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Oh poor child.
Anna
*pulls her mother in a corner*
Anna
Are you mad? It's just the two of us. You can't allow a stranger to live with us.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
He needs help. Anna, we should help the homeless.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
What's your name?
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
You can live with us. Anna will clean the otherv room for you.😊
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
I will serve you breakfast. After that, please deliver those things.

Aaron
For weeks, I worked like a dog for Sherlyn.
Aaron
I did everything she told me to do.
Aaron
No questions, no complaints. Just in return of food and shelter. So she thought.
Aaron
But I am far from being a good guy.
Aaron
And even further from being a guy with good intentions.
Aaron
I only want to gain her trust. So that she trusts me with her one and only little girl.
Anna
Aren't you too harsh with Aaron?
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
What do you mean?
Anna
I mean you don't give him salary. Yet you make him work all day.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
He doesn't deny.
Anna
Of course he doesn't. He lives here. He feels obliged.
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Why do you care? You didn't even want him in this house. Have you started to like him?
Sherlyn (Anna's mother)
Get married now, Anna. Either in the city. Or in this house.
