I woke up the next day at around 10am. Wow i slept for long. Memories from the day before flooded my mind.Nothing is gonna dampen my mood today. Ill make sure of that.
i stood up from the bed and on to do my daily business. i remembered i hadnt prayed because i overslept."Oh Allah , forgive me".i quickly went to pray and dressed up. When I got downstairs there was no sign of aunt fisayo and herchildren. I saw haleema in the kitchen and the twins were having breakfast.I could sense the tension in the air. The twins were not playful as usual. Haleema wasnt chatty .everywhere was just dull.
"Leema,what happened"I asked.
she looked at me sadly and narrated all that happened.
"Dad came back late last night.He was surprised that Aunt Fisayo was around.He asked of you and mum didnt want to tell him wat happened.You know how mum is when she is lieing.It was obvious she was lying and dad knew it. He told her to tell him the truth. I offered to tell him but he said he wanted to hear it from her mouth. Mum narrated all that happened when you went to aunt Fisayo's house four years ago. Dad was very dissapointed and they kinda fought.While all these was happening Aunt Fisayo was in her room with her children.They probably heard the noise and decided to stay out of it. Dad then told Aunt Fisayo to leave early the next morning.He made sure they left before you woke up"
"Wow.How come i didnt wake up when all these was happening.i guess i was really tired. "
"Desire i thought you said you were going for a sleepover at your friends' house"Toyib said.
I had totally forgotten about the sleepover.
It turns out the twins had finished eating along time ago and was listening to the conversation between Haleema and I.Those children sef.
I served my breakfast. I heard from Haleema that Mum and Dad left for work immediately aunt left.Haleema made toast with fried egg and tea. I ate breakfast and proceeded to charge my laptop. Teni, Feyi and I are going to watch some movies on my laptop tonight. Then i went through people's status and read a novel.
It was soon five pm .i bid haleema and the twins good bye and left the house. On my way i texted mum to tell her i left the house.
I hope this sleepover will cheer me up.
