3.chance.

I study my grandmothers face before uttering something I might regret ,she,s a very sensitive and sharp person at the same time .the last time I was here we were not in very good terms with my grandfather and I m afraid she will raise an eyebrow as to why I'm back without informing her,I'm a hundred percent sure she's suspicious of my presence but what can I say,a woman can dream and I'm no exception,she taught me to dream anyway what could go wrong.

I'm here because I want to make things right not with my grandfather, but with the recruitment taking place in this area in two days time,I have to give it a shot but with my now stitched hand I'm afraid things wont be easy, but for my today's future I have to try ,it doesn't matter how many pain killers I'll have to take. I think I should tell my grand ma all the same she is a retired doctor,she might have a few advice here and there,wait, I can't tell her can I?
I'm going to tell her anyway she's my best friend she knows all my secrets the good and the bad. she probably knows me better than my own mother,
That solves it all ,she'll definitely scold me but I can take it easier from her.

"Why are you here ?"grams says exactly what I had just been thinking a few seconds ago.
I...I ..um..he .re. I'm here to attend the..

"
Go on what are you here to attend?"

The paramilitary recruitment ongoing in two days time.
"
What about school?"

I intend to try something different...I say

"Do you know how much money your uncle spent on you so that you can retract your school record?"

I do...is all I can manage to utter.

Make me understand Sonia because if you don't you can be a 100%that I won't back you up. That is if you do need it.

Grams ,I've been thinking a lot lately about my life and I'm going to make it up to all of you for my recklessness in the past believe me I've changed for the best and I'll keep changing for the bestess if there ,s anything like it.
I know its hard for you to trust me after everything I've put you through but for the love of God give me another chance without asking a lot of questions cause I'm not going to answer any.
I know its hard to ask you to trust me blindly but please just give me that benefit and I promise not to disappoint you this time,or ever..
Just pray for me ,because with all my heart I'm a changed person,and I don't intend on going back to my old self.
Okay if you really want me to trust you look me in they eye and if I sense any lie I won't support you.
I did exactly that ,she looked at me in the eye for one good minute and she was satisfied by whatever honesty she saw and with a nod she indicated her full support.

I've never been so relieved my entire life.
I took a deep breathe and said a small thank you and the way of the cross.
My day couldn't get any better than it just did.

I knew grams would convince grandpa to let me stay for the next two days until my fate was decided regardless of me not revealing to her my plan but I was totally counting on her prayers. I really needed them cause in case I didn't make it I had to go back to school and deal with the principal....who by then would have known the impeccable lie we had invented. I can't believe I just I went home to bury my father who had died five years ago,if indeed I didn't make it, me and my brother were going to be in hot soup. But till then I had to do my best and race that field like a wild animal. And I don't care where I'll get the flight of a hungry eagle but I'll definitely give it my best shot.
