It was holiday time again, the first term had ended.... I had Michael in my arms and I squeezed him as though he was orange... I had missed them so much I couldn't help but cry.... dad looked better and had moved on he had just won a contract with the government which would bring in so much money..he got himself a new car 🚗, and also got us another house.... to him it was like starting all over again... I wasn't happy we moved houses, my face became pale when dad told me.... I was excited to go home and just lay in my mums closet room or at least feel like she was still there... well I guess I still haven't moved on....
We got to the entrance of our new house and it looked like heaven on earth 🌏, wow I exclaimed... the gates could open by itself and it had a face recognition button just at the corner of the gate.... as we drove in I couldn't help but stare at the figure that stood in front of the door with a tray... well being a curious person I had to ask Michael, even doe he was little as he was only 10 he could still tell the difference between right and wrong...
She calls him honey Michael whispered before I could even ask him anything.... WHAT? i exclaimed.... my face began to swell and I became filled with anger... it was just 6 months after mum passed and dad already had someone else... wow I was furious and angry... as we got down the car dad called on the house maid to help bring out my things from the boot of the car and take them to my room... well I was excited we now have a maid that meant freedom for me...
Eucharia dad called, meet Tiana Williams my daughter and of course you have spent few weeks with Michael already... well this are my kids dad said.... before she could say anything I dragged Michael out of their presence and headed for my room, which I called on the house maid for assistance....
Arrrrgggh I screamed... she isn't even as beautiful as mum, and she had already spent weeks in the house... why dad, why do this to me now, you LIED, you promised and you failed....well it was obvious I was still dwelling in the past... everyone had moved on but I couldn't, and again I felt lost and lonely... I held on to my pillow tight, as tears 😭 crawled down on to my cheeks from my eyes.... mum I shouted please come back, I need you more now than ever....
