Divya Wallis
The third time this week.... I woke up to my sister's kids bouncing up off the walls because they wanted to go to the water park the youngest one Briana was like anything I've ever seen she was jumping on my bed and hitting the pillows even kicking and screaming when I didn't wake up.
I finally after a couple of minutes felt my eyes open and when they did they were puffy and had dark-circles. I guess you can ask 1). Where is your sister in all of this? and 2). Why am I so exhausted? Well to answer your questions my sister is in America Chicago actually on a business trip while I'm here in Seoul,Korea trying to make better opportunities for myself and my family. I'm taking care of her kids while she goes on business trips and school I guess you can say that I'm the person to go to known as the big bank of the family.
Putting myself through high school and then college to receive my PhD in Business management and Masters in Accounting. My mother and father always held the Wallis family to high standards and however I understand the memo. Dawn didn't quite understand and did the opposite as she went to high school had twins Denise and Dennis. Then shortly after graduation she went on to college and had two more children.
So this is kinda my life in a nutshell taking care of my sister's kids putting her through school taking care of my mother, father and myself then my business.
“Disordient Incorporated.”
The business is going great if in all honesty I wasn't asleep in my office however today is holiday and today I will be taking Dawn's kids to the water park.
“Kids do you guys have everything ready?”
“Yes Auntie”
They ran down the stairs with sunglasses, and sandals in toe as I placed everything in the trunk of my car and placed everyone in the backseat. While locking up the house and straightening up my one piece bathing suit then buckling everyone up including myself as I backed out to driveway and made my way to
“Adrenaline Lagoon Water Park.”
Once we made it within a half hours time.
I felt the children's faces light up eagerly as they screamed over top of one another. They had been looking out the back windows as they seen kids jump and flip over into pools and rush down water slides. As I parked the car and grabbed everything from the trunk and backseat they smiled as I told them to hold each other's hands as we crossed the street and from there the kids were like on adrenaline and sugar as I tried to get them to listen to an told them to stick together especially the oldest and youngest. I knew the twins wouldn't be a problem seeing as they go everywhere together.
Placing my feet into the pool and watching the kids have fun I knew we needed this break. I felt something swim by my legs as I seen a man spring up from the water who looked like a God himself.
His jet black hair dark-tempting eyes and heaven like appearance made it impossible not not stare,chiseleded physique made me loss sense of what I needed to focus on which had been the kids.
“Hello.”
I looked at him as I placed my hand over my eyes to block the sun's rays. I knew I forgot to bring sunglasses.
“Hello.”
“ My apologies for not looking where I had been swimming to.”
“You're fine.”
Just then I seen Briana and Aiden run up to me smiling as they gave me seashells.
“Here auntie we got these for you.”
I took them and placed them in my lap.
“Thank you babies. ”
“Welcome. They ran off and went to play with the other kids.”
“Children are a blessing.”
“Yes they are.”
...
“What did you say your name is?”
“I'm Siye-Wu.”
“ Nice to meet you Siye I'm Divya.”
“Nice name.”
Soon after our introduction Siye made his way to the crowd and just like that he was gone.
