"Hello viewers, you are highly welcome to this exciting episode of the show. For those who are first time viewers, this is CELEBRITY STAGE SHOW and I am your honourable presenter, Amanda Kenyon".
A middled aged lady said with a bright sugar smile.
"Our last episode was really educative as Mr Raymond the founder of Netcom communications came to tell us all about the foundation. It was so interesting to hear. But today veiwers, this episode will be a bomb shell".
She demonstrated spreading her hands wide and letting her excitement show.
"You will surely give me a kudos after this program" she said with a smug look. "I'm bringing you a rare guest. A lady full of charisma, a confidente, a virtuous woman. You will be so surprise to see who my guest is. But before we bring in our guest, let's go on a commercial break. Viewers you can download the show on our social media platform displayed on your screen so as to follow the current. Stay tuned we'll be right back" she said with a bright smile.
"Welcome back viewers" she smiled. "Like I said earlier, last week show made me go in search of this rare celebrity. I'm telling you you will get a shock to see my guest. I really made great effort in bringing her here. I brought you a woman of valor, an epitome of beauty. A pride of her race. I therefore present to you, the beautiful vice president of D-foundation Miss MELISSA O'DELL" She introduced shouting the the name vivaciously.
Laughing Melissa was brought to view.
"All that for me?"
"You look glamouring" she praised.
"You look double that" Melissa said.
"No don't tease me" she gave a fake shy smile.
"It's the truth" she smiled.
"Tell me who dresses you this elegant. I need to plead with whoever it is to make me look at least a little maid of a goddess like you" she said jokingly.
"Come off it Amanda" she laughed.
"Viewers I think Miss Melissa O'Dell will love to say hi. Isn't it?" She asked smiling at her.
"Sure" she nod. "Hello everyone I'm Melissa O'Dell and I'm very excited to be on this show with pretty Amanda. It's really a privilege to be here" she greeted with a bow.
"Miss Melissa....."
"Melissa will be fine or better still Melly if that seems too long for you like someone will say" she said.
"You will sure tell me that person later" she whispered and they laughed. "So Melly, let's start with you telling us about yourself. We know your name, so tell us your nationality, Nativity, place of birth and where you grew up".
"I'm proudly American, nativity of Indiana, born in Montgomery and I grew up there".
"Do you reside there?"
"No I currently live in Boston".
"Melly, if you don't mind the viewers will love to know your birth month and year" she said politely.
"Yes I don't. I was born on October 7, 1995".
" That makes you?"
"Twenty five" she replied with a smile.
"Twenty five!" She asked astonished.
"I look thirty right?" She smiled.
Amanda shook her head. "No you don't. I was only wondering how at such young age, you got to be the vice president of D-foundation" she said still surprised.
"That I can't explain" she said.
"Let's move to your education. Where did you school?"
"My first level was at Montgomery topnotcher school and then I attended Montgomery girls high school. I'm currently attending the Mayer's college" she replied.
"Why still school?" Amanda asked with interest.
"Dad died and I was with the responsibility to take care of my younger ones. So took I a break" she smiled stiffly.
"Oh so sorry about that" she said pitifully and Melissa nodded. "But the Mayer's is extremely expensive" she brightened up again.
"Yes. Foundation has the bill".
Amanda made an oh shaped mouth without any sound. "So let's move to family".
"Well I'm the first child of my parent. I have two siblings and I have a lovely family".
Amanda looked at her knowing that she still has some hidden pain in her.
"You said earlier that you lost your dad and when was that?"
"That's over a decade back" she said casually like it doesn't hurt her anymore.
"You should be in your early teen by then?' Melissa nodded. " I'm so sorry for your loss dear".
"It's all gone".
"So mum is fine?"
"She should be".
She replied when she didn't know what to say. Since she's not a politician she thought she's got nothing to hide.
"She should?" Amanda didn't understand.
"Well I knew my mum to be a caring and affectionate woman not until she left few weeks after dad died" she explained dryly but her smile didn't fade.
"Are you saying your own very mother left you?" She shouted forgotten that she was holding a show because she was shocked. Immediately she recollect, she comported herself.
Melissa just gave a nod.
"My goodness!" She exclaimed but not loudly. "This is unbelievable that a mother could leave her teenage children to fend for themselves? How does she expect you to survive?" She asked.
"God took charge my dear" she said.
"Are your siblings males?"
"No. We are all females".
Amanda couldn't contain the pain in her heart for the poor kids trying to look for what to eat. Even those that has poor parent that look after them are still bullied not to talk of them that are like orphans. Tear flow down her cheek.
"C'mon Amanda, it's a long time now" Melissa patted her hand.
She also was trying not to allow tears flow to her eyes as she remembered what they went through trying to survive.
"I can't just help it when I begin to imagine what you went through in your early years. It really would have been though" she dabbed her wet eyes.
"Sure it was".
Although Melissa was really glad to share this pains to the world but still it still left a scar in her mind.
Are your sisters still schooling?"
"No they are both through. They work now" with her smile you will know she is much proud of them.
"How come?"
"Well I had to work after high school and they are still much younger so I let them school while I work because all of us can't be illiterate".
