"It's ok."My nanny repeatedly said rubbing my shoulder slightly as I sniffed continuously with my lips trembling.I could hear the voice of my parents still arguing downstairs causing me to burst into a full cry.

Why couldn't my family just be perfect like every other family.

Tumininu's was always happy when she spoke about her dad,mum and her elder sister. Also, Ariel was cool with her Aunt Bukky.

While I was sited in class,Nanny Patricia had sent me that horrible message about Dad and mom fighting again, and that it was a little bit serious this time.I had to lie to Ariel because knowing how inquisitive Ariel was, she might had made me spill out one way or the other.

Moreover,I was protecting my image in Westland college,my family's image, dad's image. But it seemed that the man didn't care after all.

"Don't worry dear,I believe there is nothing to big for God to handle."Nanny Pat tried to reassure me.

I gave her a look of disbelief as I scoffed quietly.Was she being serious right now?Was God even existing?

Who the hell was God? As far as I am concerned,God doesn't exist! He doesn't!!

....cause if he does he wouldn't watch my family get torn apart like this.It was always hell to watch.I was barely ten years old, when this awkwardness in my family began. Reminiscing on my childhood experiences,I could pictures my parents face always lovey dovey. Mum friends would never fail to tell her that she and dad were the the definition of "power couples".As a family,we always made sure we always went out together occasionally and dad never forgot to shower us with his love.

Not until my ten years old birthday.I trembled as the memories flashed back in blurry images. That was the night my dad changed towards mum and I

August 2nd

I fought to keep my eyes wide open as I stared at the television where I watched "Tom and Jerry" happily. Mum and I had been waiting for dad to return from his supposed meeting. I looked at my mum while she gave me an apologetic smile.

Dad was never one to miss being with me on any of my birthdays let alone forget to wish me.I had woken up this morning and mom made me understand that Dad left for a very important meeting in the morning.

Her words.

Whenever Dad couldn't make out time for me on any of my birthdays, he'll make sure to make it up to me by spoiling me silly with loads and trucks of gifts.So,I was happily anticipating my goodies.

Glancing back at mom again,I saw look of anxiety and fear on her face but when her eye met mine she was quick to mask her demeanor with a little smile.

"Honey, could you please get my phone for me."Mum said to me.

I nodded as I walked away from the sitting room.
"I really don't know what is going on. It's almost eleven and he never stays out this late."I heard Mum murmur to herself.

I returned back with her phone in my hand but it was of no need calling him because we heard the sound of someone drive into the compound.Mum stood up and walked over to the window as she peeped through the floral curtains.

Mum sucked in her breath and flashed me a smile,"Your dad is back."

I did a mental happy dance and Mum walked over to the door to do her usual thing; wait for her sweetheart to come in, loose his tie, collect his brief case and shower him with kisses.
