Breaking free

Chapter twleven

Meera and I headed into the orphanage and we met with the caretaker mallam hadiza and we gave her the donation we brought to the children.

On seeing the children,you will understand the true meaning of love,compassion and togetherness,this children have the same background that brought them together and despite that ,they continue to have a smile on their young faces .

After playing with them ,I decided to tell meera what has been bothering me for days

We found a bench and we sat down ,I held her hand . Layla you are scaring me said meera .

Meera am furthering my education in Qatar and my fight leave tonight

She was quite for some minute and i know she was cut of guard with my declaration on leaving the country without telling her

Well am happy for you said meera ,at least you be free from your stepmom nagging and constant abuses ,I will be at the airport to see you off .

Later that evening

Layla!! Have you pack all your bags and necessities,said Baba,yes and sadiq is helping to keep them inside that boot
After my farewell with my siblings I decided to go to mama's room I say my goodbyes because she refuse to be part of the people that will take me to the airport
Entering her room , I saw her in her mini parlor that is attached to her room watching Nigeria movie,I squat down an greeted her

Mama I will be leaving today , I hope some where in your heart you will be able to see me off but once again I was delusional and I decided to come and say goodbye myself ,I need your blessings. After staying for about five minutes with any response from her ,which I did not expect any less ,I stood up and was about to leave ,when she called my name with a smiley face I turned toward her direction but I was welcomed with an anger and hatred face .

I wish your plane crash or you die in that foreign country , let me remind you how useless you are to the extent your mother left you in the care of your father , but guess what ,he couldn't take care of a useless child , so that was when I was brought into the picture to take of you ,but news flash ,I will never see you as a daughter but as someone else misfortune

Her words has never hurt me like it did today ,but I refuse to be weak ,with a brave face and a smile on my face I wipe the escape tears on my face and headed downstairs to the people that love and appreciate me for whom I am .
