Her Destiny

Chapter 8

 Together we went outside.

 I carried Chira on my head in a way that made her giggle. After some minutes of carrying her, I placed her on the ground. 

 "Chira can you run?" I asked her and she nodded her head.

 "Yes Mama, I can run." Chira said.

 "Okay don't let Mama catch you." I said to her and she chuckled and then started running. 

 I ran behind her and she ran fast.

 Minutes later, I felt tired as my feet could no longer move fast and I hadn't catch Chira.

 "Chira stop, I am tired." I said and Chira looked at me smiling.

 I went to sit on the chair in the balcony. I looked at Chira as she kept laughing.

 Chira walked over to me.

 "Mama, you want to rest?" Chira said and I nodded my head to her.

 "Okay Mama." She said and sat down on a little chair looking at me as I rested.

 After some minutes of resting, I stood up to go into the house.

 "Mama aren't we playing again?" Chira asked.

 I turned to look at her.

 "We are still going to play." I said and she clapped her hand. 

 " What do you want to do in the house, Mama?" Chira asked.

 "I want to have some water." I said.

 " Okay Mama. I also want to have some water." Chira said and I took her with me into the house.

 After some minutes of allowing the water we drank to settle, we went out.

 "What would you like us to do now?" I asked Chira.

 Chira put her hands on her jaw to indicate that she is thinking.

 "Mama, let's sing." Chira said and I looked at her because she hasn't heard of any song in the house.

 "Mama!" Chira said stamping her feet on the ground.

 "Okay go first." I said to Chira and she started singing my favorite song. 

 I looked at her and smiled.

 "Who taught you the song?" I asked her.

 "The angel." She said and I immediately understood that she meant the angel that use to appear to her dream.

 I smiled and nod my head. 

 "You like the angel?" I asked unconsciously.

 "Yes Mama." Chira said and I noticed the question I asked her.

 Chira held her cheeks.

 "The angel is beautiful." Chira said and I smiled.

 "Next time you see the angel tell her that Dinna greets her." I said and Chira looked at me.

 "Is that not your name?" Chira asked and I nodded.

 "Okay Mama. I will tell the Angel." Chira said then looked at me.

 "Okay continue singing." Chira kept singing and the song she was singing made me happy as I moved my head and clapped for her.

 Three minutes later, Chira made an end to the song she was singing and I clapped for her. She pointed to me.

 "Mama, it's your turn to sing." Chira said and I stood up.

 I started singing a war song. Chira clapped her hand as she heard me sing the song.

 She was so happy.

 After some hours of staying outside, we both went inside the house as Chira started yawning. I took her to the room, pulled off her clothes and took her to freshen up. We went back into the room and I put on another cloth for her. I took the clothes which had already been soaked to the washing basin. 

 I laid the bed and placed Chira on the bed to sleep. I went to freshen up and changed my cloth then looked at Chira who was already asleep.

 I went to the kitchen to check for the things we need then I jotted them down. I went into the room and opened the wardrobe. I brought out some sum of money which my husband gave me and dashed out of the house. I used a key to lock the door of the house.

 Minutes later after getting the things I wanted to buy I came back home and opened the door. I went into the room to check on Chira and found her still sleeping. I left the room and went to the kitchen to put all what I bought in their appropriate places. I went to the living room and locked the door before entering the room to rest.

 I closed from work then went to my Boss. He gave me a pack to give to Chira and then let me go with the promise that he will be visiting us during the weekend. I nodded and left for my house.

 I reached the house and met the door locked. I guess they are sleeping inside or they have gone out so I brought out my key and opened the door.

 I walked into the house and looked at everywhere. I walked into the room and saw my wife and Chira sleeping. I guess they've played that they were already tired so I decided not to disturb them as I silently left the room and sat down on one of the chairs in the living room. 

 I dropped the pack my boss gave me to give to Chira on the ground as I rested my back on the chair.

 Few minutes later, I held Chira call me.

 "Papa." She called.

 I turned back and could see her smiling as she ran to me.

 I placed a hand on my mouth indicating that she shouldn't disturbing her mother who is still sleeping.

 "Mama is awake." Chira said in a whisper as she came close to me and hugged me.

 Few minutes later, Dinna came out of the room and hugged me.

 "I didn't have time to cook as I was tired." Dinna said.

 "It's alright." I said.

 "Papa why don't you wake us up before leaving for work." Chira asked me.

 "I don't want to interrupt your sleep." I said.

 "Okay Papa." Chira said and mounted my leg.

 Chira sat on my lap while Dinna smiled and went into the kitchen to prepare some food for me.

 I took up the pack which I had put on the ground and handed it to Chira.

 "Your Friend told me to give this to you." I said and Chira smiled.

 She always call my Boss her friend because they play with each other whenever he comes around and he is the only one apart from her family members who plays with her.

 She smiled after I made that statement.
