A love triangle

chapter 7

Asalamu alaikum my lovely people.

*************************
Sheedarh took me that day.I said goodbye to sheedarh then I suddenly opened the front door
"Dad ! What are you doing here?"
I  was plenty surprised to see him at all,let alone sitting in the dining room with my mom.Ibrahim was hanging all over his lap.
"Well ,hey there missy"he said "am gald to see you too"
"Your father left for work early to drop by and see us,isn't that nice?"my mother said in her best sugar_coasted company voice .but  one look at her and I knew I was still going to get it the second he left.
"Yes great"I said ,but I was really gald to see him "how are you Dad"
I walked into the dining room and manage to displace Ibrahim long enough to give dad a hug.and that's when I noticed that our old wood dining table was shining like glass infact,the whole kitchen looked like so new .
"Am getting by"he said ,but very jolly like he meant he was doing great "how about you?are you ready for summer vacation?"
"Always"I assured him ,but now I was totally distracted. The living room had been vacuumed and all the furniture was polished__even the lamps ,and so mething about the Windows ,they look weird too.the way they were sparking was so unnatural.
"Mom ,the house ___"
"Yes"she interrupted me quickly "I'm gald you remembered which one it was in time to see your father"
That's shut me right up.ofcourse,but something was definitely going on.
"So yusuf"mom said smoothly ,turning to my dad"how was the things at the office?"it's always bizzare to hear your parents call each other by their first names,isn't it? It's especially weird when they used to call each other things like "dear" and sweetheart all the time.
"You will stay for dinner won't you?" I finally heard my mom asked through the kitchen.
"We're having"fatte" " both my parents are from zaria city.it's a local government in kaduna state,but presently now we are leaving in Abuja.
I couldn't believe my ears .my mom was cooking and acting like it was an everyday events?what was next?
"Oh fatte"said my dad "you know that's my favorite.I wish I could stay,but I really have to get going unless.....well. you didn't make it just because I was coming over I hope"
"Ofcourse not__don't be silly"said my mom "it's Ibrahim favorite too"
It is?I raised my eyebrows at Ibrahim,but  he just shrugged if mom said it was his favorite,then he guess it was.
"Well then ,I guess I will be going"
"Good bye Ibrahim my boy"he said.giving him a giant bear hug "bye missy dearest"
If I didn't love him so much,I swear I will have to kill him
"Bye dad"
Ibrahim and I followed him out to his Mercedes Benz trying to tell him in just a few minutes all the important things he missed for the past two weeks.he was parked on the other side of the street,which was why I hadn't noticed the car when sheedarh drop me ,we stood out in the middle of the street waving him until he drove off.
When we finally came back inside ,mom was crying in her bedroom with the door shut,and the food was burning in the kitchen.

Uwww so sad .
I really felt sorry for her

Bye lovelies
