I quickly carried Baby Goldie into mama's car and she started crying because I interrupted her sleep. "good afternoon Mum", "good afternoon dear" she replied " how was school?", "fine mum" I replied, I wondered whether I should tell mama about what happened but I concluded that I shouldn't, maybe it was my imagination. I told mama about our promotion examination coming up and she advised me to read harder.
We got home and we ate lunch then I went to read in my room upstairs. I could hear Baby Goldie baby talking from downstairs trying to sing her favorite rhyme " Twinkle, twinkle little star" her voice sounded like a nightingale. I came downstairs after reading and presented some sweets to her, she looked at me, her eyes still blue and sparkling, she was just a replica of my mum while I was my dad's replica; they shared it well. Mama told me about her day at work how a man who was mistakenly accused for the act of stealing; he had bought some provisions of high price and forgot to pay the retailer her money, then she shouted and alarmed the thugs thinking the man stole her goods probably because he was running towards his car. The thugs caught up with him, beat him and burnt him. After the intervention of the police men it was later revealed that the man's wife had just given birth and needed provisions for the baby and was in a hurry. After mama had finished talking I was in great despair for the man's family.
Later that afternoon mama gave me a list for Egusi soup to buy for dinner, Baby Goldie ran towards me stumbling like a giant with small feet and looked at me with an expression on her face as if to say "I want to follow u" but I carried her then kissed her on her soft cheek and dropped her on mama's lap. I reached the market and requested for what was on the list and made my way home. As I was going I heard my name. "Yes!!" I replied turning only to see my class teacher. "Your promotion examination is coming up tomorrow and make sure you come early and also prepared" then Booom!!! we heard I turned back but my class teacher was no where to be found, there was a great black thick smoke followed by fire, everywhere was helter skelter.
