Untouched

The waking

It was a cold morning. Just laying in bed, it was like he was in a trance only to be awaken by the alarm.

As he struggled to get out of bed he noticed its was passed 9am. Knowing he missed the first alarm. He felt the wet drip of sweat littered over the bed.

(knock on the door)
Come in he said with s shallow voice.. As the door sprong wide open he saw the dazzling figure of his maid.
" good morning  Mr xavier " .  With that notice he knew breakfast was ready. Anticipating the shedule for the day he had no choice but to reply due to the mild smile that came out of that gap tooth of hers which he always like when she smile.

On thinking of the gap tooth the picture of his beautiful 59 year old mother flashed through his mind.

It was the 14th of july as he recalled from his birth certificate also the photos of his mom holding him as an infant. So where the memories scattered all over his bedroom.

As he sat there all that came into his mind was how his mom wonderfully rised him up single handedly. Going through the struggle in a town filled with dreaded faces and unpleasant environment. All that never stopped his mother from making a life for herself and her only son.

The going away of his father made him strong. He remembered as his dad packed up just because things weren't going well mostly with finances.

The thought of him leaving just to be with another woman because she had what he described to be the riches in the world. But not minding what happened he always cherish the woman who made him who he is.

" i will make it big mama"  thise where his last word to his mother as he left for college. Knowing how much she worked hard to put both food and clothings on them both.

" i finally made it" . Saying those to himself as the glowing smile popped out his face. In a blink they were gone like d flash of a moving car.

He was full with rage this time as his dad passed his mind. He hated the man with passion,  contempt, and nothing on earth would change that.

(crying)  dad please dont leave me,  am begging you. Just take me with you.   " son i cant"  those where his dads answer. "but why. Do you have to go...  Please don't leave " .  Trying to make his dad see some sense and reason why he should not go. " do u have to leave. And what about mom? ".   His dad was adamant cos is decision was that suffering was not in his timeline.

At first it seem like tears where about dripping down his chicks not untill he heard the phone ring.

" hello son"  hearing his moms voice gave him another direction of thinking. " hey mom" how are u doing he asked knowing he will receive a delight of good news. " am ok my man. "  without hesitation she added..

Aint u going for the board meeting any more...  I got a call from your secretary that you ain'tpicking up your phone...  Ah. "Ma" looking for an excuse to escape her indulgence. I wasn't feeling that well and i just woke up so will rush up to the office soon. So to avoid more complains he passed her kisses through the phone and hanged up..

"james"... Get the car ready...  He rushed into the Shower and in a blink he was out. Just like the 21th century flash. 

Scouting through his wardrobe on what to wear...  Knowing of how accomplished he had become.  Having a wardrope of 6by6 large filled with cloths,  shoes and jewelries..

Uncle x..  A tender voice called.  Hey kitty..  As he turned to look into the face of his niece staying with him...  His only sisters daughter staying with him walked towards him..

" How was your night.. " she popped up as he stretched his hands and she limped into his arm...  " I did sleep like a kitty. " I guess the bed bugs didn't bite...  As he asked she giggled along he tickled her...  She was a perfect reminder of his mom.

I can see you are Ready for work...  He also added.  I can see you are ready for school. "Yeap"  she gave him a wink.
  Just as the two where enjoying their chat, Susan came in "sir".. As the both stopped to hear her out... " james is ready with the car" .

Alright kitty.  Time for school while i head to work.
With the rush he forgot to take breakfast..... Sir you haven't had your breakfast so did susan yield out.
Thanks susan later.  Just prepare something nice for dinner..

Into the car he and his niecejumped in and james put the car into motion until they where out of sight......
