Here I was. Standing outside my parents house filled with anxiety.
Lord help me.
I knocked on the door and was greeted by my mother wearing a classy black dress with red pumps . I always wondererd why this woman was always dressed up.
" You may enter " she greeted me like she was inviting guests into a suite.
" Nice to see you too" I said under my breath
So far so good I guess, there was still no sign of that man. Thank you Lord.
"I'm here now, so what is it that you had to tell me"
" I see you are eager to jump right into things" she gestered for me to sit .
I sat on the couch and looked up at her awaiting her to begin talking.She just sat there looking at me.
" You can start talking now mother dearest" I stated feeling rather awkward
" Well, you know your father is getting older" she started.
I stayed silent.
" And the body isn't as strong as it used to be".
I was still silent.
" He was having some pains last week. And well, we carried him to the doctor" she said before pausing.
" He's dying Katherine" she uttered clearly on the verge of tears.
I sat there with the most amused smirk on my face.
" Say something Katherine"
" I was taught that if I had nothing good to say, to say nothing at all"
She held a confused look on her face.
" Your father is dying"
" No mom, your husband is dying"
And with that I left the house.
************
"He's dying" Janae repeated
"Yup"
" I can't believe this"
" I really don't care" I honestly said.
That man died to me three years ago, so for me to hear he was dying had no real effect on me.
" The man is dying Kate"
" I know Janae.... Next topic please".
" You cold knuckle head, you better go see that man before he dies"
I laughed
"Suurree" I said sarcastically.
That was the last thing on my mind.
