I couldn't stop the tears that were running out of my eyes.I sat down in a corner adjacent to the reception to cry out my life out.It's the worst day of my life,what have I done to deserve this dear lord.why me?

I thought about how I felt so embarrassed few hours ago when mum was laying insults on me.what does she mean by I made their lives miserable. Daddy had to come and take me out of the room because she said she wants me out of her sight.

I gasped in shock when she asked what I was doing in the room and for some moment I thought she had lost her memory, so I had to quickly go call the doctor"Mum!it's me Becky, are you okay?let me go call the doctor "I said as i ran towards the door,but she stopped me.
"I'm absolutely fine.I hate your sight around me,since from day one I knew you were not happy about your dad's business and now you have succeeded in making our lives miserable. Now get out of my sight or else I'll strangle you to death"she said angrily while pointing at the door asking me to go out.

For a moment I thought, how could a daughter pray bad luck for her dad.I've always been in good rapport with my dad how on earth would I not want his success.
I knelt down in front of her with my two hands joined together with tears running like a tap and begged"Mummy!please trust me,I'm not that bad I always want to see my family successful. Please forgive me,I'm truly sorry"
"You are such a bad omen to my family "
"No mum!please don't say tha,I'm your beloved daughter becky.Please forgive me,trust me I love all of you"i said with my voice shaking while i sobbed holding her legs pleading."please don't desert me,I'm not as bad as you think,I love all of you"

She pushed me away and I fell to ground"Don't you dare call me mummy again and henceforth,I've severed all ties with you"

She kept raving and cursing until she raised an alarm and in a minute,people were all gathered in the room to see what was going on.

Thank goodness daddy arrived just in time when she was forcefully dragging me out of the room.
"What's happening,why are you dragging her on the floor?" Daddy asked in anger as he pulled me from her and raised me up and wrapped me around his arm.
"This girl is a witch!I hate her,I don't want to see her at all,take her away"Mummy said as she fell to the ground and kept screaming and rolling on the floor.
"Where are the doctors?"daddy called in a loud angry voice while still holding me around his arms.

I have already buried my face in his chest while I sob hysterically.A nurse appeared and daddy started yelling at her for allowing such things to happen in the hospital."is this how you take care of patients?"
"Sorry sir,we tried to calm her down but she was boiling in anger"the nurse said with her face down.
"Now take her back to the room and clear the crowd right away"He ordered and the nurse quickly called some of her colleagues to help her while he took me out of the reception and we sat down in the corner adjacent to the reception.

He dropped me without uttering a word and went back to check on mummy.That was how I found myself weeping  silently  for hours nonstop.

He came back and gently tapped my back gently,I realised I have fallen asleep few minutes back while I was thinking about the incident. I'm not surprised that I slept so quickly after having sleepless nights for a week in the hospital while mum was still unconscious.
"You need some rest Becky,you've not slept for seven nights so you have to go home and rest"daddy said as I turned to look who tapped my back.
"But what about mum,I mean is she....."he cut me short before I could put a full stop to my statement "Don't worry about her,she's fine,I'll be here and stephanie would be coming over later in the day.you just go home,take a shower,eat and sleep well." He said putting up a forced smile behind agony,I could see the emotional trauma he's going through but he still tried to cheer me up and pretend as if everything was ok.
As if his downfall in the office isn't enough,mummy is now sick and the scene that took place in the hospital earlier added more petrol to the fire.
Oh lord!Have mercy on my father,he's going through a lot.Things kept running through my mind as I kept staring at him while he helped me to the car because I was so weak.
He opened the back door for me,I entered and he shut the door."Take her home,tell stephanie to prepare lunch before coming to the hospital. "He said to our driver as he nodded in agreement and started the car.

He gave me a smile that showed all his thirty two teeths but you can tell he forced the smile out of his face and I could feel his pain.

Different things kept running through my mind as we drove home.I entered the house,but everything has changed,the house isn't lively as it use to be.Everything seem incomplete especially with mum at the hospital Nobody to take care of her little princess Rose.

Nobody was in the parlor,as I made my way upstairs to our room,Rose came out of mummy's room and hugged me tight"where have you been sis?"she asked
"I went for a field trip"
"But daddy said you and mummy traveled and where is mummy,why isn't she back yet?"
I didn't expect the question she threw on my face so I had to think of an answer for a minute.
I lowered my height and placed my hand on her soft cheeks trying to force a pink smile on my face"Yes sweet cheeks!Me and mummy went for a field trip since I can't go alone,I had to carry mum along.Trust me she'll be back tomorrow she actually stopped somewhere to do some shopping for her princess"

She immediately started dancing around with her teddy bear. I was happy I made her happy, but still hoping that mum gets well soon and comes home before I run out of ideas to cover up about her whereabout.
