Flash back
The waec had come to an end I had two As, five Bs and one c it was marvelous I then wrote an exam into tofel and the process went on and on and I was to leave the people I love and come over to London to stay with ma aunt while I schooled..

The flight had been a success and I saw my aunty holding a card with ma name on it high above her head

"Aunty Rose "I ran towards her.giving her a tight hug. And crying a little both of joy and sorrow.

"Baby how are you" she smiled at me gosh ma aunty is beautiful she has this charming grey eyes. Her shape was on point till date

One year later......
I decided I she has tot me enough and its time to move out of her house.. I got an apart and she had tot me how to drive so I registered as an Uber driver when she heard it she felt bad but they all understood...

"Kayla we will miss you" her son and daughter said in unison. I felt like crying but I won't so I packed up ma belongings and promised to come visit and always call and with that I have left ma mom, sisters, aunty, uncle and cousins and am a girl of and on ma own

Present day
Drawing ma attention back to the present baby confirmed that he was done eating with a little bark I nodded, cleared the dishes then decided to call ma mom

After a long fail she finally picks "hello mom"

With her always cheerful voice "sup baby " at these mom using sup I roll ma eyes then she continues "you forgot me for the past four days

" its only been three days mom" just like mom to exaggerate

"Baby its almost like a year. Well I have good news". Oh no mom and her news again the last one almost gave me a heart attack

" ok mom easy with the good news. The last time you said that I almost died" now I remember it like it was yesterday she called me while I was driving someone to the airport saying my sister praise was at the airport and I should go pick her up. At I was happy until when I couldn't find praise I was practically freaking out not to talk of the money I was loosing.
Well hell yes ma sis is more important only for my aunty to call saying praise was at home with her like wtf... Two straight hours has gone with me freaking out searching describing how she looks and now they are saying she's at home like why didn't they call me sooner.

On ma way back to the present I hear her say"am coming over soon "..

"Wat!! " oh no she can't come,she will find out am not ready .
