It's been a whole month since I went to Washington D.C with my family to go meet my dad's fiancee.
"Are you guys ready because we need to be going so you guys...I mean so were not late". Mama said.
"Coming".
"I'm almost ready" -Jakina .
Josiah *no answer*
I picked up my cary on bag then looked aroud. My room was packed up and already on its way to D.C. My childhood "was" in this room before it was shipped off. I went downstairs and got in the car.
"Jakina, were all waiting on you"! -Mama shouted from downstairs.
Jakina ran out the door and mama trailed behind her locking the door. We drove to the airport not in much of a rush. We got out and went into the airport. While we were walking I noticed that mama had no luggage or anything and was trailing behind. I went back there to her. Then Jakina and Josiah stoped and watched us.
"Mama where's your luggage and why are you back here"?
Jakina and Josiah walked over to us.
"I've been meaning to tell you all that I'm not going to D.C. for the wedding".
"What do you mean, you've been meaning to tell us, and this is the time you decide to tell us"?
"And what do you mean your not coming mama"? -Jakina
Mama started to cry slowly.
"I can't do it again, especially not...I can't be...I'm not going too this occasion".
As soon as a tear fell from her eye I remembered what I heard that day behind the closed door. I felt terrible about raising my voice and being rude...because it was disrespectful and because I know how hurt my mama is...I can't see her like this. I went over and hugged her.
"I'm sorry Jasina".-mama
"No I'm sorry mama".
I didn't even realize it but I had started crying when mama let go of me she wiped away my tears and I did the same for her. I looked around and saw people staring, but I didn't care but I as well saw the time and our plane would be leaving in 5min. We all hugged mama one by one then a group hug.
" I Love you mama"-Jakina
" I love you too Jakina".
"Bye mama I Love you and we'll miss you, come visit"-Josiah
"I love you too baby, I definitely will".
They started crying and now it was my turn.
"Bye mama, I Love you".
"*sigh* my little girl is growing up".
"Don't you mean all grown up"?
"No...I mean your "growing up" and don't forget it"!
"I won't".
"I love baby, and don't forget it...".
We heard our plane being called so we started runing twards the gate. Then we turned around and started waving to her. We saw her mouth...
"I Love you guys".
We all yelled back in unison.
"We Love you too"!!!
