VICTIM OF LOVE

Chapter 2

Ryan p.o.v
Flashback continues... 
That terrible incident that made my Papa go far away from us and left us all alone with the war going on, on the other side of the city and now we were the next target of those monsters.
That made mama to vacate the whole country and take us to another country for our safety. It's only when you have everything that most people love you and treat you and with utmost respect, nobody helped mama at that time and most of all our relatives didn't, it had became everyone for his/herself and God for all.
We vacated to the neighborhing country, that's Kenya as an immigrant and to God grace the UN helped us to resettle again in a place knows Naigas, a very beautiful place and with a great climate
Bang!!!! Bang!!!

I was snapped out my worst nightmare thoughts by the loud banging of the door in the bathroom by younger sister Rweida. I started splashing water on my red face and my puffy eyes that became redshot due to my unrealised tears falling from my eyes.
Before Rweida sees me in that condition and start asking her non stop intorogation I started splashing water and took my towel to wipe it and put a fake smile for her not to notice my eyes.

"Abayo(sister) are you ok mama is calling for you"she called out still banging the door. "Yah am coming abayo(sister) " I answered back

After hearing that she left maybe towards the kitchen where mama was. Alhamudillah (thankful to Allah)  am spared by her interrogation.

After awhile, I went straight to the kitchen and you wouldn't want me to describe how it looks because it's obviously small with few items. I need to prepare breakfast and I was grateful to see mama preparing it.

Mama won't spare me for always being irresponsible and of course not acting to my responsibilities. Please mama spare me with the early scolding.!! I prayed inwardly as I entered the kitchen closing my eyes with the palm of my two hands atleast I won't see her glaring.

Mama was facing towards the stove preparing Anjero and odkaac and her back was facing me when I slide my palm from the face to see her reaction and gott prepared for scolding. But mama was to busy to even notice my presence.

I tip toed towards her and engulf her with hug that made her flip. "Alaaa you almost startled  me Ryan"realizing that it was me still holding her tightly from her back.

I released her from the embrace and gave her an innocent smile giving her signs to allow me to explain my reasons for not preparing breakfast as if I used to prepare it.

But mama understands me in and out and raised her eyebrows allowing me to explain my reasons but what excuse would I give,  that I was inside the bathroom thinking of the awful things that happened that made mama a widow and us fatherless. I know it wasn't easy for mama also to raise five children without anyone's support and she strive to fulfill all our  desires. Being Hooyo(mama) and Abo(papa) in a foreign land and still be the bread winner of the household.

I can't let that moment which was past now to cast my happy mama to feel sad even though she tries to suppress her emotions.

"Well hooyo(mama) you know I take my time in the bathroom...... W....well that's the reason "I said while avoiding  to maintain eye contact and by now I know mama is giving her glare which only meant  stop making excuses

"Ryan i wouldn't scold you my girl but you need to be more time cautious and be a little responsible because you the eldest daughter I gott and I expect alot from you my girl. You know I want you to take care of you siblings when am gone... Maybe" she said while tears were in her eyes

I couldn't hold myself back I found my hand on her lips to mum her altering those words again not in my presence and with tears brimming down my face I gave her a tight hug not wanting to slip her off as if which was a tiny mabble.

"Hooyo(mama) please don't say that I can't take it if you gone I would kill myself before you die" I said in between my falling tears

"Nope my girl some things  are not in
our control,  it's in Allah's hands to bestow us with life and it is in Allah's capacity to take it from us we gott no control over it "and at this time mama was shading tears also.

I never saw hooyo's tears not even at the incident of my Abo something terrible must have happened to her to shade tears. I need to know what's wrong with hooyo something must be definitely up.

Please God don't make mama suffer anymore please give me all her burden I prayed silently little did I know  that my prayers would be answered soon.

"Ryan my girl go and prepare the kids and yourself for school and tahfeed (insutions where Holy Quran is taught) while her eyes were focusing on the stove which she was using awhile ago.

You would be late for school "she suddenly changed the topic while avoiding my gaze trying her best  to make herself busy when I can clearly see her wiping the tears on  her face.

I didn't want to pressure mama into telling me so I let it go for now but it will always remain unanswered maybe when the time comes I would ask her.

"Hooyo macan (sweet mama) this is too delicious while trying to have a bite  the Odkaac with a spoon beside the bowl which was inside it" trying to cheer her up

"Naughty girl because I prepared it, it must taste delicious if you could have done it maybe it would have tasted different "mama replied with a smile on her sad face.

Something must be bothering mama but what could it be.....
