The Good Betrayal √

Strange feelings

"Rohan babe, stop teasing me"Lexi giggled." Babe, we are finally together, after so many sacrifices "Rohan whispered to Lexi. Lexi smiled and Rohan led her into and enormous and attractive garden." Will you marry me, babe? My dear Lexi"Rohan proposed. "Yes hun, yes but we must hide it forn everyone especially Ariel till we win completely, okay? " Lexi begged. "Okay dear" Rohan replied sweetly "ok the plan is.... " ."Ariel, Ariel! Get up, you have school " Mum tapped me. "What! What a horrible dream! God forbid!" I shouted as soon as I got up from the scary nightmare. I started panting so hard and sweating from head to toe "Why dear? What happened? Are you okay? "Mum asked worriedly. "yh, yh I am fine" I lied with a small smile. I didn't want to tell mum my dream because she will just tell me"I told you so, you need to break up with him, even God is showing you signs".but I like Rohan very much. I didn't want to lose my long time love so I kept quiet. I then took a bath and got dressed."Ari" I heard Tiff call. "You need to take the kids to school today, I am very tired" she pleaded. "Oh come on! I, Ro... Er I mean Rohan and Zoey are picking me up, I am not taking anyone to school" I rolled my eyes and walked away. I was so pissed off. Like I was happy that Tiff was coming home because she will be doing all this but little did I know that I would be continuing to do this till she had had enough rest. No, I wasn't going to do that. I then decided to text Zoey.

Me: Hi Zoey. Please hurry. I want to tell you something. It is really bad but make sure not to tell Rohan.
Bestie Zo❤:ok we will be right there. We are on our way. And FYI, I just got my new pet. It is a cute dog, actually 🥳. We will name it later.
Me: Okay, we will talk about that later but tell Rohan to hurry.

"Ari , you will take the children to school whether you like it or not" mum commanded. "Tiff told me you don't want to take the children to school" mum continued angrily. "Aww, please mum! Tiff is there! Dad is there! And you are there" I brawled out. "Yes but you know your dad goes to work early and Tiffany is tired, she will take them to school tomorrow" mum explained. "Fine, but only today, I am just having pity on you guys okay? I rolled my eyes. "Look at what that dumbass has taught my daughter" mum whispered "and her stupid dad" she smacked her face and shook her head. "Hey don't call my boyfriend dumbass and dad stupid. Well, you were stupid enough to marry him" I shouted bravely. Just then, mum slapped me right there. "Enough! I can't endure such shameless behavior in my house anymore . I am going to deal with you from now on" mum roares at me pointing her finger at me and walked away. I was standing there with my hands on my cheeks trying to bear the painful slap I just felt on my face. I was too stunned to even get words from my mouth. It seems mum was really hungry. This was her first time she has ever raised her hands on me. As I tried to take in back the tears that wanted to release themselves out from their prison, Rohan and Zoey arrived at my door. Immediately I heard their voices, I cleaned my face and pretented nothing happened. "Hey Ari, let's go" Zoey called. "Okay but let me call my little siblings" I said politely. "Ari, are you okay?" Zoey wondered. "Oh, nothing. I am perfectly fine" I forced a smile and walked away to avoid more questions. I went to call my siblings and we all got into Rohan's car. I sat still, thinking about what happened today. MOM SLAPPED ME! FOR THE FIRST TIME! Isn't what I said the truth. I tried to stop thinking about it so that I don't cry for everyone to notice. Immediately we got to school, I got down and headed towards the school. Different emotions were running in me. Anguish, sadness and anger. Why did mum slap me? I decided not to talk to my mum for like a month or two or forever. The more the images of the slap flashed in my mind, the more I wanted to add months to not talking to mum.
