Coming Home

Chapter 4

Omniscient

Anita's trip came to end very early. Anita, Amya, Anya, and Ahmad all pulled up to the house. They couldn't wait to see Monique, and talk to her. But they had no idea that she was gone.

Anita walked into the house, and it was straight up silence. She glanced at the table, and grabbed the note, and read it.

"OH. MY. GOD!" Anita yelled.

The kids walked in the house, and looked at their mom who had tears in her eyes. Anita knew that she shouldn't have left Monique alone. She had forgot all about how Monique found Monasia's number in one of her boxes. It totally slipped her mind.

"Monique went to New Orleans!" Anita yelled.

"Oh shit......she's probably going to find her real mom." Ahmad said. He shook his head, and began pacing back and forth.

"Mama you should've told her sooner. You know Monasia is going to tell Monique who her mother is. And the simple fact that we all kept it from her doesn't make it any better," Anya said.

"Wait so Monasia is not her mama?" Amya asked, and Anita shook her head no.

"So who is her mom then? Because now I'm confused!" Ahmad yelled.

Anita grabbed her keys, and headed out the door. The kids followed her as she quickly got in her car and started it. She pulled out the driveway and she went to the airport to try to stop Monique from making a big mistake.

When Anita got to the airport, Monique was already gone. Anita sighed in disappointment. She looked around to see if she could find her once again, but it was too late. Monique was gone.

When Anita went back to her car, she called Miyah.

"Anita...what the fuck do you want?"

"I swear to God if y'all tell Monique....."

"Anita you had all that time to tell Monique who her mama is. And now when the shit hit the fan you don't want Monique to know."

"SHE'S NOT READY MIYAH!"

"Monique is 15 years old Anita. That baby is almost 16 years old and that poor child is just dreading to know who her mother is. Regardless of the consequences after this, she still needs to know."

Miyah hung up the phone, and Anita sighed. Everything was slowly starting to fall back on her. She hated that Marcus passed away. Marcus and Anita agreed to not tell Monique who her real mother is because once Monique found out, she was going to be devastated.

Anita knew there was only one way to stop this.

She had to meet up with Monique's mother.

Monique arrived in New Orleans in no time. Once she got off the plane, she looked around for Monasia. She told her she was going to be in a red mustang, but she didn't see the car parked anywhere.

Beep
Beep

Monique turned around, and she saw the car parked in the back of the lot. She grabbed her stuff, and began to walk to the car. She saw 2 women come out of the car and they were walking towards her.

"You must be Monique...I'm Miyah," Miyah said while giving Monique a hug and she returned it.

Monasia grabbed her stuff for her and placed it in the trunk. Once she closed the trunk, she walked back to Monique, and hugged her tightly.

"I'm so glad I met you." Monasia said.

"Same here." Monique said smiling.

As they all got in the car, Monique was so happy that this moment had arrived. She knew she was going to get the answers. She didn't care if it was bad answers, she just needed answers ASAP.

"So Monique, how's Nashville treating you?" Monasia asked.

"It's nice. I mean I only got one friend down there name Kai'Lee. We've been bestfriends since we were kids. Our dads went to the army together and that's how we grew up. But other than, its straight. I can't complain." Monique explained.

"That's good...Do you have an idea on who we are?" Miyah asked.

"No.. To be honest, I thought Monasia was my mom." Monique said.

"Actually, we're your dads sisters. Anita never told you that did she?" Miyah asked, and Monique shook her head no.

"I figured." Monasia said shaking her head.

"I'm your aunt Miyah, and this is your aunt Monasia. We have the same mom, but not the same dad." Miyah said.

Monique was shocked. She couldn't believe that Anita never told her about her dad's siblings.

"So why wasn't y'all at the funeral service then?" Monique asked.

"From what we was told, it was only a limited amount of 20 people who could come. Anita made the list and so when my mom, your grandma called Anita and asked her what time was the funeral, she was told that we wasn't invited." Monasia said.

"And to top it off, we had to find out on social media that he passed away." Miyah added.

Monique was boiling at this point. She wanted to call Anita, and cuss her out, but she decided to let her aunts fill her in on some more things before Anita is called.

"So do y'all know where my real mother is? Her name? Her age? Or something?" Monique asked.

Monasia and Miyah got real quiet. They sighed, and then they looked at Monique. "You will know very very soon." Miyah said.

Anita walked back in the house, she saw her kids on the couch looking at tv.

"I gotta go meet up with her mother," Anita said while going into the kitchen.

"Wait ma, where Monique?" Anya asked.

"She's gone Nya! She's in New Orleans!" Anita yelled.

"Mama calm down everything is going to be alright." Ahmad said.

"NO ITS NOT! Look I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for everything I've put y'all through and I'm sorry for everything. I have to go!" Anita yelled while leaving the house.

"MAMA COME BACK!" Amya yelled, but it was too late.  Anita had already left.

"Bro what the fuck is going on!" Amya yelled.

"Your mother ain't the mother she used to be." Alontae said.

"Ayy man, what you talking about?" Ahmad said. 

"I'm telling you, Monique is never going to come back here.  Everything is starting to crash down in front of Anita's face and she doesn't even know it." Alontae explained.

"Tae what the fuck are you talking about?" Anya asked. 

"What's done in the dark will come to the light." Alontae said.  Then he left the house.

I keep messing with y'all 😂😂... but ooouu y'all gone be shook!!

Y'all ain't seen anything yet, I'm telling you!!

More drama up ahead.

Who do you think Monique's mom is?
