betrothed

home sweet home

Victoria

Coming down from the taxi I took from the airport,I stood at the front of our house,the familiar feeling of home flood me

the butler must have seen me through the security cameras and informed my mama of my arrival

mama was out of the door before I could know,she threw her hands around me and tied me in a bone crushing hug with tears in her eyes

"oh my baby how I missed you she said,I missed you too Mama
she still looked the same and smelt like heaven

"Barron our daughter is here
she called on my papa,who must be in his study

the servants stood in a single file with smiles on their faces

Nana my personal maid helped the butler take my things upstairs

father came out of the study,he looked a little bit old with gray hair and a growing pot belly

"welcome home princess,the house hasn't been the same without you my dear,oh mama wouldn't like that,I said hugging him back

"Barron are you saying am not a good companion,mama asked jokingly with a frown on her face

my father laughed throwing his head back like he usually did

how I missed this scenario

"dear,let the young lady go upstairs and freshen up for dinner,she must be famished and I know you miss my meals,I made a lot specially for you

my mother said with a beaming smile

Going up into my room,I saw everything was left exactly the same

my prom pictures were staring right back at me,I myself can say I changed a lot,am a woman now

Nana helped me prepare my bath as usual
promising to tell me all the juicy gossip in town
I have missed out on,with a brief hug she left the room

After a long bath,I joined my parents for dinner
my mother went extra miles indeed
the table was filled up and the servants where still bringing more

"Mrs abele are we having a feast this is too much

"it is not when your only child comes home after a century father replied

he always supports whatever his wife does
even though he knows she does a little bit extra
I want something like this when I get married,a husband who stands by me

The meals where splendid as always when mama made them

After dinner,we chatted about everything that happened in our lives
whose daughter got married,whose husband was cheating and how the king's daughters where frolicking around town

yeah,i and my mother were the perfect gossip pair

my father told me about the State of our family business and gave my mother the stink eye for being meddlesome

speaking of marriage
I hoped my parents don't mention anything concerning mine

I was still hoping it never returns like a bad dream

I wasn't looking forward to being tied down soon
I still had a lot to accomplish

I stayed away from anything relationship during school because I wouldn't want to lead anybody on

deep down i knew it was also because of my family's so called tradition, sometimes I wish I was someone else but I wouldn't trade my parents
I loved my life but not Everytime

After retiring to my room Cassy called and we made plans to hang out tommorow

we've been friends since childhood
she's the daring one amongst our two

from a modern family with all the freedom to do as she pleases

I had other friends from the same social circle but they were nothing but spoilt pricks and bitches

they had nothing to talk about,if it wasn't about their latest car
it would be the latest design cloth
A bunch of royal asses who didn't want to work or even go to school

their family had all the money to keep them going for a life time

Cassy was one of the realest things I had in this fake world of chaos
she's a total hottie and a beautiful soul, tommorow would be fun

home sweet home
