THIS IS MY STORY(On Editing)

chapter 11

Since mummy arrived from hospital, my life had been more complicated with simultaneous sleepless nights and cries.

I wonder why daddy hasn't said anything to settle the issues between me and mummy and his silence makes the matters even worse.But maybe it's because of the trauma he's already going through and I think that alone is enough to make him soak.

I can't stay and have conversations with my family any longer like before because mummy she doesn't want to see my sight and she warned me not to appear in a place she appears.

Whenever mummy comes to the main parlor to chit chat with my siblings, I'll just be peeping like a hypocrite and watch them laughing and chatting.

I wish old days would come back when I use to seat close to the center table,near my beautiful flowers with their incredible scents.

I no longer eat in the dining table,I would rather have all my meals on the room alone because I don't want to disturb mummy's meal since she's sick and she needs to eat alot to regain back the weight she had lost.

I no longer use to have appetite to eat because I find it so boring eating all alone in silence instead of eating amidst my siblings with alot of laughter and funny jokes that makes the food slide in without realizing it did.

Even though I'm not that type that talks while eating, but I enjoy listening to my siblings arguing like cat and mice especially paul and Rose.

************************************

It was pass 12:00 AM,I was still unable to sleep,I was rolling from one side of the bed to the other.Stephanie had stopped sleeping with me in the room since mummy came back,she said seeing me irritates her just like mummy so she prefer sleeping in mummy's room.

After several attempts to sleep but to no avail.I decided to go see daddy"Maybe I should open up to him about me and mummy, I don't like his silence" I thought.

But what if mummy is in his room,I don't want to raise alarm by this time of the night.

I decided to just go knock,if mummy answers I would come back to my room ,but if daddy does I'll enter.It has been the style they use to tell us if they are together or not.If mummy answers it means they are together, but if it's daddy that answers it means he is alone.

I tip toed slowly to his doorstep without making any attractive sound.I knocked for the first time but there wasn't an answer, I knocked for the second time still without response.After knocking for the third time without a response, I turned to go back to my room.Perhaps they are asleep I thought.
"Who's there?" Daddy's voice came from inside.
"It's me daddy!Becky"I replied in a less audible voice in other not to wake anyone.

He opened the door and made gesture for me to come in.I went in and he shut the door behind us.

"What's wrong Becky,why are you still up at this late hour?"He asked as he made way for me to seat on the couch beside his bed.

"I just couldn't sleep.so I thought I should come have a little chat with you"

"Any problem?"he asked as he sat three inch away from me on the couch holding a glass of water.
"Not really,it's About me and mummy. I want to know why you've not said anything concerning me and her when you know everything that is going on"i began"Is it that you don't trust me too and you also believe that I'm the reason behind your failure?"

He was silent for a while.He dropped the cup on the table and went to pick up his TV remote.He put on the television and lower the volume with his eyes focused on the television as if he was alone in the room.

I felt so hurt,why would he ignore me like a bunch of wood as if I did not exist.I decided to break the silence by saying "What I was thinking is true then.You also think thesame thing as her,that's why you never complained when she keeps raving causes on me as if I'm not her daughter "
"No Becky!It's not what you think."
"What is it then,why does everybody hate me,just tell me if you are not my real parents " I said with my voice shaking as I began to sob hysterically.
"Come closer "he pulled me to his  body and rubbed my hair gently.
I didn't hesitate to hug him tight as I continue crying.

"I'm not taking your mother's side Becky.you see she's going through alot and she's I'll,we just need to give her some time to recover. I'm sure everything will change.How can my child be the reason behind my failure, you are a blessing to me and I'm proud of you.I know your mother had been treating you so bad these days,but please bare with her and give her some time.And please stop saying that we are not your parents, she is your mother and she loves you so much. She just needs some time to come over it okay"

His words did real magic as they cheered me up immediately.I started to think that I was panicking for no reason. Mummy is still not off the shock so she needs time.
"It's okay daddy!now I feel relieved.I love you so much"I said as I give him a soft peck on his cheek.
"What are you going to do about the goods that were confiscated.who could have done that to you daddy because I'm sure you can never buy and sell illegal drugs. With all the problems surrounding us,we couldn't talk about way out of this problem"
"I'm preparing on hiring a lawyer that will stand for me in the court of law.Hopefully we are going to find out who added the illegal drugs to my goods and If successful, they'll be released "
"That's a good news daddy,but what about the company that signed the contract with your company will they still carry on with the contract. "
"I don't think so,there've already signed with another company,but there's nothing to loose.we will still sell the goods to other willing buyers so far they are released "
"All the best daddy,don't worry it's well" I said putting on some courageous smile.

We talked for some little time and he escorted me back to my room.He covered me with the duvet,gave me a kiss on forehead and switched off the light.

He shut the door behind him while I fall asleep.I can say it's the first time I slept peacefully after so many weeks of sleepless nights.
