"Kenya!Amka,tutachelewa!"(wake up, we'll be late!)I hear Auntie Sony call.It's graduation day! After four long years,the day is finally here.All I got to do is get through it,get through all the fake congratulations from my messed up family&am good.Easy..you would think.
I take a quick shower and get into the super cute dress my tailor made for me..red with a hint of Ankara.My make-up: subtle,my hair:curly& popping & finally some wedge heels coz that's as far as heels go for me.
I go down the stairs expecting everyone to cheer for the graduand to be only to be met by uncle Charlie chasing the cat, Auntie Nyambu spanking cousin Yola for tearing her dress and my mum in a corner hiding with her coffee.The perks of having your extended family in one house.Anyways,we are known for travelling far &wide to attend parties so my entire clan is here.
"My little girl is all grown up! Congratulations Bella!"Daddy says from behind me calling me by my pet name which means beautiful in Italian.I beam as I look at my darling Father.It's gonna be a good day.The beginning of a good life😊
