As I started cooking, I got an SMS from mom. She said that she had to work over night today.
- Okay, so I have nothing to worry about, I said eased and answered my moms SMS.

When I got done texting my mom I continued cooking the food. I looked at the clock in the kitchen for a few seconds. It was 5pm. The rice started boiling, and I'd change from 12 to 6 degrees. I also had to fry the chicken, so I decided to take care of both the rice and the chicken. It was hard, yes, but there was no one but me at home.

The dinner was ready and I'd take a plate, a fork, a knife and something to drink. Then I'd take a seat and enjoy my dinner. Someone called. I'd take a look at who was calling. "Dad?", I thought for a second. "Well, I'd better answer."
- Hello? It's Ciara, I answered.
- Hi, Ciara, it's dad, my dad said.
- Hey dad, what's up? I said. You haven't called me or my mom since you left 5 years ago.
- I know, and that was totally wrong of me, my dad apologised.
- It was, but you're calling me now, so I accept your apology, dad, I said. But what's up?
- Nothing much, I just ate dinner, what about you? dad said.
- I'm eating right now, I laughed.
My dad coughed.
- Dad are you alright? I asked and got worried.
- Yes, it's nothing to worry about, just a cold, you know, my dad said and coughed again.
"Thank god", I thought.
- You know I'm easily getting worried, dad! I laughed.
My dad laughed. "Oh, how I miss your laugh dad", I thought and got a bit said.
- Yes, I know honey, my dad said. But why I really called you is because of that I've decided to come back and re-marry your mother.
- Oh my god! I said surprised and dropped my fork on the table. You're seriously gonna marry mom again?!
- Sch, keep it down, my dad said. She might hear you!
- Nah, not really, she's working over night today, I said.
I was so glad that dad's coming home and marry mom again! I seriously didn't know what to say!
- Okay, good, my dad said. I'm coming back on Friday, my dad said. I miss you.
- I miss you too, daddy, I said and started crying a bit. But I gotta continue eating. I'll see you after school on Friday. Bye.
- Bye, honey, my dad said and hung up.

It was now 10pm, and I  was still damn surprised over that dad's coming back and marry mom again. "What if she'll say no?", I thought and got worried. "Let's just hope for the best."

I went to bed and fell asleep, I still couldn't believe that dad's finally coming home!
