surprise

Ayyat
Sitting in her stickered mini mouse reading table, with her pink pen in her left hand and her right hand resting upwards on the table where her head lies

Dear diary
Today I over heard mama and Baba's conversation on the phone,I know I wasn't suppose to but I could hear mama crying so I walked over her door and heard why.
Baba actually has being  seeing some lady and mama just found out, not only that but the so called business trip was a lie, it was all a cover up, he was actually randevouing around with his girlfriend in Dubai,

Slowly little tear drops start falling on her diary which makes the  diary wet, but she still is persistent about writing on the wet pages.
 

Wlahy mama has being  begging baba to take her there but he refuses all the time bringing up different type of excuses, not only that but  she found a payment slip for the girl, his sponsoring her for the university but  insists on me staying home,claiming that I would get spoilt and it would be a big slap on the face for him,it turns into a heated argument between them  and I think that is why mama is crying that much.

Rubs her face to the sleeves of her right arm and continues

How would she feel if I told her I knew about the affair since last month and I hid it from her and the golden necklace which she mistakenly found and thought was a surprise gift for her wasn't hers, wow I really feel bad for mama but there's nothing i can do about it and no one to talk about it with except for you a book with no reply and also I think his girlfriend is pregnant,you know with mama's case of not being able to conceive again itx a really big news to him.

She hears the creak of her mother's door and stands up to check on her

Mama
(Her eyes all red and swollen, in a) weak voice

What are you doing up by this time ayaat?

Ayaat
(Puts one hand under her white) singlet and the other in the pocket of her shorts

Nothing mama a strange noise woke me up neh dats why

Mama
(Nods her head)
Ohhh!! OK baby na go back to sleep I want to get a cup of water

Ayaat
(Tries to stop mama from going) downstairs

Nooo!!! Don't worry mama I will get it for you, you look weak,sick and your eyes are really swollen and red too

Mama
(Rubs her eyes and unconsciously)
hisses

You know I haven't being sleeping early lately and with my eye problem the itching and pain becomes worst each day

Ayaat
(Slightly raises her head and brows)

Ohhh!! Ok, just go back to the room let me bring the water for you kinji

Mama goes back to her room and a few minutes later ayaat comes back with a cup of water for her mother

Mama
(Brings her hand forward to collect) the cup

Thank you, Allah ya miki Albarka

Ayaat
Ameen mama

(She stands up to leave, reaches for) the door, hesitate then come back and sit beside her mother on the bed

Mama please stop stressing your self, at your age your suppose to be resting and do take your drugs see the way you are
