Sitting at the garden like a woman waiting for her beloved prodical son to return I flipped through the pages of the novel "untill tomorrow" and closed up the book immediately due to lack of interest.
Something just wasn't right, I couldn't exactly place my finger on it but I wasn't so comfortable with the situation.
Mum, dad and Rach are ought to be home by now. Their lines aren't reachable, I couldn't get through to aunt Nelly, they haven't even called me and my wedding's in a week.
Am guessing the sun didn't shine on me today, cause I could see the clouds already.
Has Rachel decided not to come home with them out of anger? Or has something terrible happened to mum and dad?
or has something bad happed to the three of them?
"Hmm"I pray not,I wouldn't want to know what it feels like to be an orphan, please lord let everything be okay.
I looked at the weary face that Andrew had put on, as he walked towards me.he pulled a glass sit from the table and sat on it, then he snatched the glass of wine infront of me and drank it untill it all disappeared.
Sadness was written all over his face, his eyes made it clear.
"Andrew it's okay"he looked at my face and searched for hope in my eyes
"Yeah, it's gonna be fine"I insisted but he jumped out of his sit and said
" it's been four days since they left! Thier numbers are not going through, they haven't called us, and the house has stayed decorated for the past four days, all the guest we invited came with a celebrating spirit and left disappointed. there you are sitting so relaxed telling me it's okay"
Someone was actually more bordered than I was.I tried to calm him down untill he finally puts himself back on the sit and gives me the sad look
"Kate am positive something bad has happened" said Andrew with confidence in his eyes.
"Why would that be your conclusion?"I asked out inquisitively.
"The very day your parents travelled, vikky came visiting, I saw her cause I was outside fixing up some decoration.she asked if Rach was home and I told her no cause Rach wasn't back, she had doubt in her eyes the minute I replied her. She said she saw Rach in her dream a night before and Rach told her she was home.I still repeated my first answer but she still didn't believe me, instead she said her dream looked real and Rach was putting on a black dress and she was hairless."
I really did not understand what Andrew was trying to say. For crying out loud vikky is her best friend and she actually misses Rach a lot, there's every possibility that vikky's mind must have worked this all out.
"Andrew what is your point" he looked away from my face and said
"I think Rach is in danger"
I dizzily nodded my head to my left and to my right .cause I now know that Andrew believed vikky's shitty old dream. then I say
"Why would you say that?"he moved his face towards my direction and said
"Last night I saw her. Kate I saw her too, in a black dress and a hairless face, she told me not to worry that she was in a better place. Kate what does that tell you?" Andrew asked seriously as his eyes starred into mine without a blink.
Yeah, Their all working things out in their head, this is really crazy, I really can't listen to such bullshit. What's up with this black dress and hairless story?.please..this joke is quite expensive.
"Andrew pull yourself together Rach is fine, they'll be back very soon"
suddenly interrupted as my ringing tone rang out loudly, I looked down to my phone which was placed on my lap to see the caller, turned out it was aunt Nelly.I gave Andrew the I told you not to worry look,
hurriedly I picked the phone up from my lap, click on the answer button and pressed the phone to my right ear.
"Hello aunt Nelly, it's about time one of you called"
"Kate it's me"
"Mum? What happened? I've been trying to call you, dad and aunt Nelly for the past four days now but it's not been reachable, where's dad and Rachel and why aren't you people home"
"My daughter"
"Mum talk to me, is Rachel given you a tough time or let me guess she dosen't want to forgive you guys and come home?, mum if that's the case can I speak to her?"
"She's not here"
"Mum what's wrong , It's obvious your crying and if she's not there where is she? Or you haven't picked her up?"
"Hmmmm, School management said Rachel didn't make it through her last examinations, they said she drawned in the river and now her body is missing. "
"Blood of Jesus.WHAT? Mum what does that mean?
"My daughter, I don't have the answer to that question .only a black dress and a black pair of sandals was found inside the river in which she drawned in"
I could hear the break in connection, suddenly the call cut.Turns out everything wasn't okay.
Was the black dress and the hairless revelation story true?, oh God what have I done to my only sister? My only sibling, I was the one who googled up the school of ressurrection and suggested it to my parents, now look at how it turned out.
"Kate! What's wrong?"Andrew asked as he starred at me like one who was sitting on a railway and waiting for The train to crush him.
"Mum said Rach's body is missing from the river she drawned in and only a black dress and a black sandals was found in the depth of the river"
"But kate, Rachel knows she can't swim and she couldn't tell her principal instead she risked it????"
I ran out of the garden like one who was running away from death.the guilt bottled me up like a bottled water.I used my own hands to kill my only sibling.Jesus please forgive me.Rachel please forgive me.I only wanted her to be better ,I thought she could be fixed.
Water rushed down my chicks like a leaking tap who' owner forgot to lock.
Missing body? in the united state of America? What exactly do I say to God and to the world?.
My father must really want to sacrifice me now, after all I came up with the evil idea that has brought this pain now.
I need forgiveness. Rach please if you can hear me please forgive me.God please forgive me.
How can Jake get married to someone like me, no. He will not. He deserves someone better.
Rachel please come back and continue failing Jamb, just come back, you can fail as much you want. I won't border you again, please return to us, come back and be who you are I will never complain ever again!
