(That's Kelani's Father BTW)
Kelani sighed tiredly as he got out of the car and entered the school compound.
He had spent the last couple of days with her mother in the hospital after her latest operation.
Her mom had no choice but to sacrifice her breast for the sake of her life.But it was much better since she now has a high chance of surviving though the cancer had spread to other parts of her body.
He first had to report to the principal's office to announce his arrival.
As much as his family ruled this school, he still had to abide by the rules.
He was so tired and very much craved for some sleep so he made a mental note to catch up on some sleep before going to basketball practice.
On his way to the principal's office, he stumbled upon a young boy not older than 9 in the hallways. The toddler looked up at him in curiosity, big brown eyes which were very familiar eyed him.
A woman rushing after the boy broke their staring contest
"Liam! You naughty boy! What have I said about running recklessly like that? "
Kelani watched as the boy jutted out his lower lip into an adorable pout and internally cooed.
"sorry momma, I just wanted to see Fanceeee! "
The woman's expression softened and looked up to meet kelani's curious gaze.
"Am sorry if... "
"Fanceeee !"
The boy shouted and ran towards an outstretched arm. Kelani's heart stopped at the sight before him. Of course!
No wonder the boy looked familiar!
All his tiredness was washed away at the sight of the smile that played on Fancy's lips. He had no idea how much he had missed those deep dimples on her cheeks until now.
That sight alone was enough to tug at his heart strings and that feeling scared the living daylights outta him.
Frustrated he turned and quickly walked to his dorm room, his previous journey forgotten.
Once in the safety of his room, he let out a shaky breath.
WHAT THE F*CK WAS GOING ON!
Fancy was very happy to see her mom and Liam, for once she felt happy since the last couple of weeks.
She watched as her brother rambled on about his new Lego collection while on her lap and sighed in contentment.
She really missed them, she missed her mom, her sister Zawadi ,his little bear brother and even perhaps his dad.
However she couldn't stand to face her mom.
She had lost her child because of her, how was she supposed to face her.
She bet her dad and Zawadi were probably blaming her too.
" How have you been sweety? "
"Am fine mom"
She squirmed under her mom's scrutinizing face, Fancy knew that she could see right through her act.
She gulped nervously as her mum sighed and held her hands.
" Honey! Please stop blaming yourself, it won't do you good. "
A tear slipped from her eyes breaking her masquerade.
"But it is my fault mom!... if I hadn't ran away then you won't have to stress about me ...a-and t-the baby would be p-perfectly fine "
Her mom held her cheeks and wiped away the stray tears and kissed her forehead.
