chapter FOURTEEN

Not Edited..

Shade

After several talks from my mother and advices from my father, finally i was left alone in my room, my sister helped me with my bags outside, i stayed a bit longer checking if there's anything i was for forgetting
"The driver is outside waiting for you" my mum said as she eyed me
"Ok mum, i will be out in a minute" i said, i hurried towards my dresser, i had to pick my necklace, i opened the the box, my hand traced round it, feeling of satisfaction, i smiled to myself and close it back quickly, i checked my face in the mirror once again to make sure that i am perfectly ok.

I made my way for outside, am not ready for my mum's nagging, so i need to get out fast
"There you are darling" my father  came closer and hugged me, "do not not forget everything i discussed with you this morning, be a good girl and also make sure to call your mother regularly"
"But dad, she' meant to call not me" i said giving him a fake cry
"I know sweetie, she is your mother, she loves you"

Just  then my mum emerged, i guess she has been listening to all our conversations
"What makes you think i will call her?  she faced my father, i could sense anger in her, oh God am not ready for these, its too early to begin my day with mum's complains and insults

"Come on honey, you will call her, you are her mother" my father smiled down at her.
All she could reply back was with 'hmm', even though she's my mother, i bet i can't understand her, one minute she nice and another she's angry.
All i want is a caring sweet mother, i didn't allow that bother me, i gave her a warm hug, truthfully i can't remember when last mum hugged me, probably when i was a little girl, really i can't remember
She stayed put for a while then pusher me away!
That felt great, hugging my mother!, i smiled at her, "mummy am going to miss you so much, i will also miss your special delicacies" I said brightening her mood, still that didn't move her a bit, but am glad she didn't have any more complains towards me.

"Enough now, you should go, you don't want to keep the driver waiting for long" she said then left

"Dad, make sure you don't forget your promises too, take care of yourself and princess too, i will miss you both,  i love so much"

"I love you too my dear" he hugged me once again
I carried my handbag and made my way outside, i could see princess has been waiting for me beside the car, her eyes red
"Sweetie, have you been crying? but you promised you wouldn't " i kissed her forehead
"Am not crying, she replied with a shaky voice, am just going to miss you so much" she said as tears fell from her face..

"Its ok, you don't have to cry, i will be back before you know it with plenty of gifts, so, promise me now you won't cry anymore"

"Ok, i promise"she then gave me a small smile
"Good"

"You have to go now", mum shouted getting me startled

I guess the driver couldn't wait anymore, he honked repeatedly, i rushed inside the car.
After making myself comfortable at the backside, i closed the door and the driver started the car immediately, we  were about to leave, just then i remembered i didn't unplugged my phone while charging it earlier, i became nervous, well the driver had started moving the car "ermm, i mean driver, could please spare me some minutes, i forgot my phone inside the house"
"Hmm, he grudgingly replied, "ok madam be fast o, we still have a long way to go"
"Thanks" i said as i hurried outside
My father was confused "dear, what's the problem?"
"Dad, my phone is inside, i forgot it there" rushing to enter inside the house, my father stopped me, then he smiled
"Is that the reason you are sweating this much, princess go get her phone upstairs now" he instructed my little sister, and immediately she hurried away
"You don't have to stress yourself up" he said, while he cleaned the sweat on my forehead
"Thanks dad" i said returning the smile...believe me, i love my father!

What's going on, two minutes later, princess is yet to be out
"What's wrong with this girl, how long will it take her to get a phone"

"Dad, i will go get it myself" i said leaving him outside, i rushed inside the house, i opened the door to my room, guess what i saw inside?

Mum!

Without any further questions, i knew i was in a deep trouble, i stuttered "mum.. i.. i.." trying deep to find my voice, mum shot my daggers with her eyes
"Looking for this?" she raised my cell phone up in the air
"Yes ma, i.. i..for..got to pick it earlier" i said even unsure of myself, she came closer to me, i guess she wasn't buying the excuse i gave...but its the truth!
"I see no reason why you should forget your phone, tell me what is this big head of yours meant for?" Oh God,  we shouldn't be doing this right now,  should forgetting my phone be a big deal? i thought within myself
"Erm, mum..actually i..i..was..." Of course as always, she would never let me complete my statement, i wonder why she hates me this much, why should i be this scared of my own mother?
"Shut up, stupid girl" it then followed with a sound slap on my face, my world crushed, i felt numb for a while

"Mum.. i said amidst tears, i never meant to forget my phone, it was a mistake, besides it can happen to anyone" i replied crying, i carefully bend down and picked my phone on my bed immediately she dropped it

"Oh, madam teach me more since i lack sense and you know better than i do"

"Mummy, dont hit my sister" princess
shouted, defending me!
"Shut up, you don't teach me what to, now off to your room" she barked showing her the way out, she refused to leave
"Its ok dear, go to your room"i patted her back and she left...
I guess dad had been waiting for me, he merged into the room "why are you crying?" dad asked surprised
"Its nothing dad,"i said quickly, cleaning my face, i made to leave, but he stopped me "what's going on here?" dad asked mum, right now, he is very angry
"Shade, tell me, what's the problem?"
"Hmm...i..i mean mum....."
"I slapped her and so?" Mum said, she looked at dad as if she would also slap him any minute "imagine honey, she's a forgetful girl, how long would she continue like this, its not like its her first time forgetting things, she's clumsy, forgetful, lazy, she need a proper training...."
"Enough" dad shouted at my mum

"Shade, don't worry you can leave now, the driver is waiting for" i hugged him tight,  "i love you dad" i said silently "i love you too" he replied
I left them both in my room, i was perplexed.. i didn't want dad shouting at my mum because of me, i didn't want to be the reason they would fight...i closed the door quietly but waited a bit, i heard my dad talking to my mum faintly......"Bimpe, why are you this harsh".. I guess this is the first time i heard dad called my mum by her name, there's trouble, i thought within myself, i nervously bit my lower lip, i wanted to hear what dad has to say to her, just then i remembered that the driver is waiting for me, i quickly rushed downstairs to join the driver
My sister was already there
"Goodbye sweetie" i  kissed her forehead again, she watched me silently, i could see pity in her eyes "take care of yourself" i said again, and entered into the car, she didn't make a move..... She watched me as the car left..

I made myself comfortable, my mind flashed back at home, i thought of mum, dad, what could be happening right now?
I closed my eyes! Its going to be a long journey.
