Falling Before We Started

💞 Chapter four 💞

Its been a week now since I have gone out of the house. I don't have any place to go except taking a walk around the house when ever I'm bored out of my mind.

Phoebe has gone back to school. and i kinda missed having a place to go to, especially some where like school.

My admission list has not been out yet. I wrote Jamb this year and i scored 290.

The score is not really what i expected but anyway i am good with it as long as i can still go to the private university i have always wanted to go.

With my west Africa examination result looking like a trophy...Covenant university will have no choice but to accept me. I just had three months to spend at home before going to school if my admission letter is out, because by then the new session of school will begins.

September oh September i just can't wait to be admitted into the university and begin my new life. 'no parents,no teachers in fact they wouldn't be teachers at all but lecturers' my inner devil said feeling excited about it.

She's just crazy and feels like she's being handcuffed here.

We both want freedom and every time when life at home gets sour. we cry for this awaiting time of my life to come quickly.

After a long day at home with Mom doing endless cleaning as always when ever she's at home i decided to take a break from it.

'For i will not come and kill myself on top cleaning house that's not dirty'.

Mom is just fond of the habit of shattering and rearranging stuffs that does not require rearranging.

Soo...i left her to finish what she started when i can't take it any more.

"Mom I'm watching the show" I said over my phone to Mom as she picked up the remote to change the channel.

"And so...whose house is this?" She asked sarcastically.

"It's my father's house as well as mine" i replied her.

"The man you are claiming is my husband. He was mine right from the start before you came along" she argued back.

"I'm his descendant. so, i have full rights to whatsoever that belongs to your husband" i said trying to claim my right.

She looked at me and gave me a ridiculous laugh.

"F.Y.I I am married to him, conceived his seed and birth you...so madam go and find your our husband and proclaim your rights over his remote not mine"

I felt my jaw dropped as she smashed me with those words. Like seriously Mom is using F Y I on me...where exactly is she learning that from??.

I had no choice but to shout my mouth up surrendering to her. You can never have an argument with Mom and win. She always has something to say in other to shut you up.

"Mom?"

"Mom?!.." I called out for the second time when she didn't reply me.

"Um mm..." She replied not giving me the attention I was looking for.

"Mom, can I go over to Tama's place" I asked her trying my luck if she will give me a go ahead unknowing.

"Kilo Tama's?" She asked me looking confused with her eyes glued to the TV.

"Mom she is my friend Tamara, a person mom!"

"Shebi I have warned you about that girl before?" She said strictly, giving me the attention I was calling for.

"She's my best friend a girl mother..." I reminded her dropping my phone on the side stool beside me.
