A/N~ Uhm...so guys, I want to write a chapter— no, chapters containing court cases/scenes, but I have no idea of Law languages and all those words used during trials...blah...blah...but you get what I'm trying to say right? 😏
So the gist of the matter is that you guys should bear with me if I make mistakes and all, but I'll research though...also, if you find a fault, you can kindly point it out.
Thank you❤
Theodora's POV
"So we called for you people, because there's something very important we need to address." He starts, despite my silent pleas for him to reconsider.
"What is it? Is it really serious? You only ever call us together like this when there's a problem" Patrick points out. Worry clear in his features.
I feel a tightening in my chest as I swallow hard, desperately trying to keep my nervousness at bay.
"Well....." A deep silence falls in the room.
A pregnant silence.
The silence that holds the storm.
"I don't want...we don't want you people to think that we don't love you, because we really do. No matter what happens, you should know that" Tahir says
"What's going on?" Akilah asks.
I bow my head in shame, tears dropping down from my eyes.
"Sweetie, your mother and I, have been discussing and we finally have come to a conclusion; we will be going our separate ways"
A defeated sigh leaves my lips
He's rushing this.
This isn't right.
"I don't....I don't understand," comes Patrick's paniced voice
"Does this mean you...the two of you will get a divorce? I don't want you to divorce, there's one of my classmate, his parents are divorced and he's always sad. I don't want to be like that" Akilah a says with teary eyes.
"Akilah" I sigh deeply, shaking my head.
"Mummy" she calls.
"You will not be sad. Even though we separate, you guys will still be allowed to see your mother"
"Where will Mum go?" Patrick asks.
"Back to—"
"I'll find an apartment here, that way I will be closer to you people" I say, earning a glare from Tahir.
"Akilah, Kayra– come on my girls, don't cry" he says, extending his hands, gesturing for the girls to come forward.
They do just that and he places them on his lap.
"Don't cry hear? Listen, this does not change much, although things will change a little, but daddy will be here for you both"
"What about mummy? Why do you guys have to separate?" Kayra asks.
"Honey, in life, you can't control everything. There are somethings you just can't control no matter how much you try. Your mother and I have made our decision, so please just respect our decision princesses"
"You know what, just go to your rooms for now okay? We need to have a word with your elder brother, Patrick" I tell them and they nod, before wiping their faces and leaving.
The room falls into silence.
"Patrick" Tahir calls Patrick, whose eyes have been glued to us since, confusion clear in his face.
Tahir looks down at me, waiting for me to speak.
