HIDDEN

Chapter seven

"Bianca, your dad is almost here. Wake up." I could hear granny's voice from afar in my sleep. I flipped my eyes open. "Yes grandma." "I said your dad is almost here. Get ready." She said.

"What says the time?" I asked rubbing my eye. "It's 12:45 pm." Granny said. "What! really?" I asked all Surprised. "Get ready, your dad will be here soon."  Grandma prompted me again and walked out of my room.

Almost 1 pm. I can't believe it. I can swear that Javy is still asleep.

Before going downstairs, I had washed down and brushed my teeth. I passed by Javy's room. He is still asleep as at 1:45 p.m. I went downstairs and had some coffee when I heard the horn of a car blowing. That's my dad's car.

"Bianca are you done packing your stuff?" Grandma shouted from the back porch. "Errmm... Not really, I guess." I replied as I went out to go meet my dad.

"Baby how are you.?" My dad kiss me. "I'm fine dad." I hugged him.

"I'm sorry that I have to come for you now. I know that it's a three days agreement. I will be traveling with your mum and it's going to be left with just nanny alone."

That is a good news I've heard so far. Nanny and I alone in the house is another synonym for freedom.

"Ok." I said, trying my best to hide the joy I feel within me.

We walked inside and grandma came to meet daddy and they exchanged some few pleasantries.

Javy is lazily snaking down the stairs with dark circles under his eyes. It obvious he just woke up.

"Javy, you are really the bose." Daddy said, seeing that Javy is now awake, and grandma giggled. Javy went to greet daddy, and kissed grandma.

"Bianca if I hadn't woken up, you would have left without saying goodbye to me." Javy said accusingly.

"I'm not leaving now. I'm now going to pack my stuff." I said and pulled him by the hands and run up the stairs.

"Help me pack my stuff please."

I pleaded. We packed all I would be sending back, then we had a little conversation. We talked about his basketball competition before my dad called for me and we both went downstairs.

"Bianca are you ready now?" Daddy asked with his eyes glued to his phone. "Errm... kind of." I said uncertainly. "But why aren't you ready." He asked with his eyes still glued to his phone.

"she's going to miss me that's why." Javy interfered, winking. "Never. I'm never going to miss you." I denied.

"When you two are done arguing, let me know so that we can get going." My dad said with a little smile placed on his lips, still staring at his phone.

Dad can never sit idle without his phone.

"Uncle Elias, I will be coming to spend some time at your place." Javy told my dad.

"Is that so. when will that be?" My dad asked, seeming more interested in what he is looking at, on his phone.

"Erm. That will be after my game. it's in two days time." Javy said, shrugging, about his game, seeming so confident that he is going to win.

I rolled my eyes

"Ok. We will welcome you when you come." Dad said and we all laughed. "Bianca, shall we get going now?". Daddy asked and I noded.

I kissed and hugged grandma goodbye and I hugged Javy goodbye. I said goodbye to Berlin. Anna isn't around. She is probably gone out for her own personal business. we bid ourselves goodbye and my dad drove off.
