My Ryda 2

Chapter 35

Roanna POV

"Say hi to daddy Rosa " I said as I held up the phone to her .

She looked at me weirdly and started whining.

"My baby misses me huh " Raheem said through the phone .

"Yes the both of us do , so what's going on " I said sitting the phone on the table while putting Rosa in her crib .

I sat back down on the sofa and picked up the phone .

"Wassup why you look so down " he said through the phone .

"I miss you and being away from you is not making it better baby " I said frowning.

He looked at me before squinting his eyes .

"You been crying Ro "

I closed my eyes and shook my head .

Last night I somehow found myself crying myself to sleep .

"Don't lie to me "

"Yes I did a little bit " I said half truthfully.

"Baby I know this is stressing you out but I just want you to take it easy because I'm gonna be fine . Just take care of yourself and Rosalina for me , I'm good " he explained.

I nodded and rubbed my eyes before the tears could fall.

"I love you " I said softly .

"I love you more , Amma come see yall in a few days ok "

"Okay " I nodded.

"Alright later baby , I'll call you later"

"Okay be safe "

"I will " he smiled then hung up .

The truth is I had a terrible dream last night and Raheem ended up dying.

I've never been so scared in my life , and everything seemed so real .

I'm just praying God watches over him and protects him from any harm .

"Roanna you okay "

I looked up and saw Janice .

I shrugged as she sat on the couch next to me .

"Hey what's wrong love " she said wrapping her arms around me .

"I'm just worried about him , like terrified for him Janice " I said sighing.

"That's totally understandable honey, but the  best you can do for him is be there for him and let him know that your by his side " Janice said rubbing my back .

"I'm trying my hardest but it's like the what if's just start to cloud my mind"

"Honey your just worried, and that's okay but you need to be strong for him and Rosa because believe it or not this is hard on him as well although he might not show it , it is . So you just be his backbone and support him " she said to me .

I wiped my tears and took a deep breath.

"Your right Janice , I have to be strong no matter what " I said nodding.

"That's my girl " she said smiling.

"Thanks for always being there for me , I appreciate it "

"You know your my daughter, you'll always be in my heart . No get up and get dressed we are going out . Don't worry about Rosa I'll get her ready " she said pulling me .

I smiled and walked up the stairs.

I was honestly grateful for having her because to me she was like my second mom .
