"Where have you been? And how come we don't know anything about you?", I asked Revinna."That's not important now. We here to strengthen mama to heal quickly so that we can go home with her right?", Sam nodded and I stepped on his toe. He screamed. Emma laughed.
"No Revinna you have to tell us, where were you all the time? Why didn't you live with us? Are you really my mom's daughter? Where do you stay?", I asked her once more curiously wanting to know.
"You know your late sister's mom right? ", she asked.
"Yes we do".
"When she was about to die she made a death wish, she asked Aunty Lizzy to take care of me. I refused. I didn't want to go from ghetto to the suburbs, to a mansion. I couldn't. So Aunty Lizzy took me to a private school, a boarding school. So I stay there. She comes to see me twice a month. I'm studying Bcom so that I can work on the company after my studies", she turned and looked away. She was crying. I went over to her and pulled her in for a hug.
"She's all I have! She my mom, my sister, my friend and role model. I can't lose her now! She has to fight. She has to come back", she was talking through sobs. I kept comforting her.
"She's gonna be alright babes, you heard the doctor. She's a fighter. Don't cry now. You have her and us. We family now. We sorry that mommy never mentioned anything about you at home", I said sympathetically to her.
"I asked her not to", she said pulling back.
"Why?", Emmanuel asked her.
"I knew I wouldn't fit in your profile. I can never be part of you guys", she said sitting down. I sat next to her. She really looks like mom.
"Come on now. Stop that nonsense. You are part of us. You are mom's blood meaning that you are part of us. And you'll always fit. We are as same as everyone. We love you okay?!", Sam assured her.
"Thanks guys. I appreciate that".
"Group hug?", Emmanuel asked. We hugged each other.
"Revinna can you please go with Theishar home. She needs to freshen up and bring something to eat. Me and Sam will go when you come back", Emmanuel asked Revinna.
"Sure", Rev approved.
"Let's go sis", we all laughed. I took Emma's keys and we bounced off.
We got home. I went to my room and quickly took a shower and changed into clean clothes. I put make up. Revinna was busy in the kitchen making food. Richard was not home. I didn't see him surely he's with his mistress. I went to the study. He was sitting in the corner his back to the door talking to the phone.
Yes, thank you doctor Abraham. Yes, yes tonight. I'll wait on your call. Yes, seven o'clock will be fine. Is it? Well I'm glad! Make me proud Abraham. I know she's a die hard woman. Okay, okay bye.
I squeaked the door and got in.
"How long have you been standing there?", he asked a bit shocked.
"Long enough", I replied.
He scratched his head. And looked back at me. His eyes were full of shock."Chill papa I'm kidding! I'm sorry about earlier on today. I was angry I didn't mean to upset you", I fakely pleaded.
He just looked at me with amusement."Truce?", I asked opening my arms. He hugged me.
"I forgive you angel", he said. As if I cared for your forgiveness. I thought to myself.
"I'm with Revinna, do you wanna see her?", I asked papa.
"Sure". I went to fetch her from the kitchen.
"Hey my lovey daughter. The one that doesn't wanna stay on the mansion ", we all laughed. Dad hugged her. I didn't know dad also knew about her.
"Hey papa Rich", she responded.
"How are you? Is everything going well at school so far?", he asked.
"I'm good thanks and everything is going alright", she responded.
"Good, good keep making your aunt proud okay?".
"Yes papa Rich". We went back to the kitchen. We took the food to the car. She made sandwiches and some salads. We bought drinks on the way.
