Few years went on and my mother told me that my father abandoned us for another woman some time later my mother got sick and I moved in with my aunt. The moment I turned around 18 I left my aunts house, I also tried reopening my mom's boutique to help myself. Life has been hell for me, and everyday I strive hard to survive. And after all those terrible years he's calling me now.
"Imani are you still there?" That got me out of my daze and I realized I've been quiet for a while now. I cleaned the little tears on my eyes and hung up without replying. Just as I got up to sit on my chair I got another call but this one wasn't from my dad.
" it seems like you're test my patience Zara, I'd be forced be kick you out of your apartment if you don't pay your rent before the end of the month." Mr. David said. Since I started staying with my aunt I changed my name from Imani Gale to Zara Anderson that's my moms surname and Zara is my second name.
"Please give me more time I promise I'll pay you before you know it ." I tried to be as calm as I could with everything going on right now.
"I'm going to give you a week to pay of your debts and if you don't I'll have no choice but to throw you out." He hun up.
This left me speechless, thinking of the next way out my eyes met the package my dad sent me. Curious this time, I opened it, I saw a plane ticket to New York and a small letter next to it . I opened the note to read it.
'You're invited to the Wilson's party Miss Imani Gale !' And that was all that was in the
note. So he called me to invite to a stupid lame party I thought to myself. "What a joke." I said as I relaxed on my seat owning my head backwards with my eyes closed as I took a deep breath getting into deep meditation thinking of how I could clear my debt in a week.
Thinking of a way out another call came in. This better be worth disturbing me.
"Hello" I picked up without checking the caller Id.
"It's good you finally picked up." The same cold voice said.
"What do you want from me ?" I was getting furious, he was the last person I wanted to speak to right now but I tried being as calm as possible.
"Seems like your mother hasn't taught you anything all these years! You should now not to speak to elders in that tone and to think I'm your father."
"You have no right to talk ill about my mother and you stopped being my dad the very day you left." I said sternly as my irritation was growing.
"Hahaha!" He laughed "Anyways I so I don't have time to argue with you , I need you in New York by tomorrow I believe that you've opened my little gift, all your expenses have been taken care of, the only thing left for you now is to come to New York, I have a business proposal for you.
