CHIDINMA SHE HEARD HER mother called and rushed out of her room to meet her mom
"Mom I'm here"Joy answered rushing over to stand at her side
"You haven't get dressed since!"her mom said in disdain and she swallowed looking away
"I'm so sorry mom,I just finished taking my bath"she said
"I'm ready mom"she suddenly heard her younger sister said rushing over to them,she was wearing a dark blue jeans trouser,a pink shirt and white and pink sneaker
"My baby,I know you will get ready on time"their mother said lovely to Happiness and she smiled widely happy about the way her mom praised her "and now Chidinma get ready before I open my eyes,you're too lazy it's time I stop giving you food because that's the cause of this your laziness,fat like a pig"her mother said giving her the stink eye and her shoulder slumped head laid down low as she walk away from her mother and sister
Her mother always make her feel less important like she's a burden to the family and she hates that
"It's not my fault I'm fat"she muttered when she entered her room wiping away the tears in her eyes,she brought out her dark jeans trouser and blue shirt her mother already ordered her to wear and took her black and blue snicker wearing it too before leaving her room
"I'm ready mom"she said smiling joining them in the dining room
"That's good for you"her mother answered dismissively giving all her attention to Happiness
She sat down sadly and started eating her breakfast when their father joined them
"Morning my girls!"their father greeted and they all replied
"Well what do we have here"the elderly Igbo man said sitting down with his family in the dining room
"Daddy are we really going to the beach?"Happiness asked
"Yes Chinyere"their father replied,their parents preferred refering them with their traditional names rather than English name and they are okay with that
"Dad you know I have phobia for water"The little girl complained rolling her eyes and huffing
"It's going to help you overcome your fears and don't worry your sister will be there with you"their father tried to calm her down
"Hope you won't drown me?"Happiness asked her elder sister and Joy laughed
"I'm just going to help you"Joy said instead,she knew how dramatic Happiness can be and how she overreact over any small issues
"Well said and done,you should finish your breakfast so that we can head out"their mother said and they nodded eating the rest of their breakfast in silence
The family left the house in the care of their househelp Ruth,they went to the beach and their parent asked them to change their wear into the bikini they brought with them,they did as they were told and played on the sand on the beach
"God! This is amazing Chidinma,I love the sand"Happiness said and Joy laughed,she love seeing her sister happy
Even though she's over dramatic, always get their parents support and the favourite of the house she still love seeing her sister happy
"The sand is cool that's why"Joy replied helping her sister to build the little castle they're trying to build
"So cool!"Happiness replied giggling "she should go to the water"she said standing up
