Yesterday when we got back home from Tayitus house I was very much tired i just wanted to go to sleep. But unfortunately I couldn't cause I had to put our home in order cause my siblings made a mess while we were in Tayitus house. So after we ate dinner I washed the dishes and went to sleep.
============================
I don't want to go anywhere. I would better live a poor life in my own country rather than go to some other country where I have no relatives.
I am currently cleaning the house when my father comes and tells me to get dressed. He told me we are going to start legalizing the documents. He told me to wear my best clothes.
Like come on. We are only going to the capital for God's sake. It's nothing too fancy. But my question is with whome will my siblings be? Guess with mother. I don't think she is going. So I wear the last dress my mother bought for me a year ago, put some things I need and go to my father to inform him that I am ready.
After we say our goodbyes to my mother and my siblings my father starts
" Tayitu will go with us. I agreed with Abebe to take care of her while in the capital. And Alem, behave. "
"ok " I s all I managed to say. But wait a second take care of us? seriously? Did he perhaps mean to say get rid of us?
Maybe going to some kind of Arab country will give me freedom but that until I get a job
The only possible job for me I see there is being a house servant.
Before I know it we already reached Tayitus house and my father is knocking on their door.
Tayitu opens the door and welcomes us in but I can see that she is holding her anger inside.
