Tracia's P.O.V

' I'm really sorry mum, I don't think I will be able to make it home'

'but your dad insist he wants to see you as he returns home' my mum spoke into the call knowing fully well that I wasn't planning to visit home soon.  although mum and dad were still married, I don't if to say he was cheating on my mum but I had no evidence yet and mum wasn't willing to let me know anything, until luckily for me when dad was about to travel once I got into his room and stumbled upon document which showed evidence that he wasn't only cheating on my mum but that he had another family...no wonder he never spent time with us.

'what is the point mum, I'm really busy outta here with school work and I don't have any spare time yet' I told my mum because I wasn't just in the mood to see the face of that old man after it had been a while 

'when did you start questioning me when your father wants to meet you... I just want to believe that you aren't hanging out with bad friends in school'

'the matter hasn't got to that extent yet mum... besides I might show up before the day runs out' I replied as I hung up the call. the very moment I did that I knew I would be in trouble because, mum didn't like whenever I hung the call at her, but then she kept annoying me in her calls making me do that. I left the phone on the table went into my bedroom to prepare my things for the journey only to remember I had not yet had my breakfast so I left and went to the kitchen. I poured my maize cereals into a bowl turning a large amount of milk into it as I sat and consumed it. my phone ran again and the caller was mum, I refused to pick it because I knew she only wanted raising annoying issues.

'I will rather not pick that call, unless I want to receive a slap from my ancestors now' I said to myself as I put the phone in silent when I finished my cereals quickly heading back to my room. I wore an ash high waist skirt with one of my old blue tank top exposing the navel I didn't even have. I wore my signature boot as I sat properly to do my makeup. looking at the time, I knew if I wasted more time I wouldn't arrive home at las vegas before four because it was already getting to noon, so I fnished the makeup and left the house after carefull locking all the doors like most Nigerians do. I got inyo my small sport car that was guven to me by Droxy on my birthday which i havent driven before, because i didnt get a lincense of mine... the journey lasted for about two hours as i came to a halt in front of mums house as i saw her sitting expectant on the flower field. i sat back in the car contemplating whether or not to step down, but mum came over to me with a welcoming smile making me to step down and give her an embrass and a light peck on her cheeks that were almost drying off

'good day mum' i told her feigning a soft smile

your always home my dear' my told me as she led me into the house that was refunished as usuall. i kept on wondering what my dad was thinking when he put up such a large house.

'you could go ahead and take a shower, while i set up dinner and make some snacks' mum said smiling sheepishly. i bet she was really happy i didnt turn down her request as supposed.

'i am pretty glad to have had come and met you at home' my dad told me as i sat on the table after greeting him in an unusual way. what was he trying to form with his english after he might have turned everything in that house upside down. i'm sure he was not aware that i found out his little secret.

'thank you' i told him as i began serving the dinner after a brief prayer. the dinner was too cold, no one was saying anything to anyone. we were either staring to blank space or just concentrating with our food before dad spoke ' i will be returning to work first thing tomorrow morning, i have another trip to embark on' and after that the dinner went on as before except from the sighs
