The divorce

chapter 16

Katrina pov ..

It was a lovely morning to me , I felt so happy ... So happy as I walked to the kitchen and took my time making breakfast. 

Humming with a soft tune that played behind me , I have been dreaming of this peace that my heart was yearning. 

And now I am free,i can listen to music and do everything that I want in my life.

I walked to the shelves and took out a pan and started making pancakes , I wanted to surprise my family especially mom .

She has fought for me , so hard and I have nothing to repay her but cook for her some delicious meal for my appreciation towards her .

Hmmm ... Somebody's happy today ...I heard my brother's voice .

Well , I am ... I tell him with a small smile . Smells delecious ,. And oh you are cooking for us , ? He asks with a cheeky smile and amused at the same time .

Scoffing, I told him to take a  seat so that I could serve him  ,

After a few mom joined us , she looked so tired as I looked at her face .

What hepepned ,?I ask her a little  anxious . Well , I am just tired honey, nothing important  . She chimed making me sigh and shaked my head ,

Were you working yesterday  night , ? Rolling her eyes she  took  a sip of her juice and massage  her temples .

Yes and no , and that's none of any of your business .

And wait .. what are you cooking, ? I missed seeing you cooking for us ... She pouts changing the subject .

I gave her a small smile and put some pancakes on her plate , some honey and strawberries .

Thank you dear ... She says and devoured her food .

I carried on cooking some pancakes whilst mom talked to Leo about the firm and I wasn't interested at all  as I kept on thinking of when I was going to leave home .

I took my plate and ate too before standing up and walked to my room a little exhatsed ,

I decided to take a bath and then wearing a dress that reached just above my knees ,

This will do, I whispered and combed my hair into a ponytail.

I did my make up and looked at myself on the mirror and went out ,

Oh and where are you going, ?i heard Anne's sleepy face ..

And aren't you going to the office , ? I raised my eyebrow looking at her pajamas that clinged on her ,

Well I am taking the day off.. she chimes shamelessly and went the other way of the house before I said anything ,

I chuckled and shaked my head and went to the garage,

I choose a simple little car and drove away ,

I had no idea where I wanted to go  . After I have thought of my destination  I  chose to go to my favourite  coffee shop .

I parked my car  and entered inside the little place , it smells so good .. I murmured and sat near the window and looked outside now and then .

Soon a waitress came and asked for my order , I Ordered a latte ..

After everything that has happened to me , I wanted to think positive from now and have some time for myself as possible .

I want my self esteem back and my anxiety to disappear as I have no burdens that follow me like a second skin .

I took my phone and saw a message from my mom Coincidently ,

" Where the heck are you, ?"

I am at a coffe shop , did you need anything , ? Anne is still at home , you can ask her for help .

You don't understand do you, ? She asks with angry emojis on top ,

What the hell did I do to piss off this woman again, ? Okay , I don't remember .

What do you want mom... I sent her the message again,

Take your ass and come to my office right this instant ... she wrote making me frown ,

I couldn't send her any message as she called me right away ,

Mom.. I said but she cut me off and started ranting .

Where the hell are you Katrina , you can't just leave me all over myself while you expected me to do something for you ,

"What do you mean mom, ? " I ask taken a back .

You ungrateful brat , you better come here and meet me  immodiately before I cancel whatsoever about your application to the millitary .

I was dumbfounded, I am such a useless girl ... I mean  I keep on asking for favours from my mom and end up messing every thing up or forgetful,

Sorry .. i whisperd and cut the call before she said anything , i paid for my coffe and ordered it  be packed ,

With a smile , i was out like a lightning and in my car to the firm,

One thing that I usually do not like is to mess up with mother espacilly if she has  my works in her  hands . She won't stop not a for a single minute to sabotage everything.

"Because she can.."

She has no patience and I can't blame her , she has always been a woman of principles .

All her life ,she has always been strict when coming to work and something important that concerns any of her children or herself but mostly her work. 

After a good minutes of sipping on my coffee and driving, I got out of the car and breathed in and out , wiped a non existent dirt on my dress  and walked inside the firm ,

Multiple people looked at me and gave me smiles ,I returned them back .. I know why, 

Becuase I have won the case .

Welcome Mrs Katrina , the old receioptionist who i didn't know welcomed me ,

Thank you ,i whispered shly .

The boss is waiting for you .. she gave me a comfortable smile making me nod and find the elevator as soon as possible ,

When the sound of the elevator dinged, I went out and walked to her office .

Her office is beautiful , big creamy and grey walls that described her  fully ,

My mom is a little arrogant, strict and a  cheeky woman .
She is a very nice woman if you stay on her good side and she can be  a python when you are in her bad side .

Trembling with anxiousness ,i knocked on the foor and entered only to hear her scream and shouting on her phone ,

Oh great you are here .. she mused like nothing was going on after she saw my face and cut the call .

Sit !she instructed and I did immediately ,

What do you take me of young woman , ? Hmm , ? She asked before I said a thing ,

" I.. I am sorry , "I stuttered not knowing what to say ,

Next time I swear I won't call you again,

But mom ... I forgot ,I whinned .

Nop ! You didn't. Honey you are really young .. if you start forgetting now then what about me , ? She asked baffled .

I am..

Okay stop , and I mean it next time everything will be canceled ,

I nod my head hesitantly ,

"Let's begin ."

She  says adjusting her reading  glasses  and take some files that were on the table .

This is it Katrina , there is no going back . My subconscious reminded me .
