I have been sitting in my room looking at the amazing view of sunset. I can't ever miss this scene for anything in this world. I love just sitting on the couch and looking out of my room for hours till the sun is completely gone and it starts getting dark that's when I change my clothes and go downstairs for dinner. Sometimes when I'm late for supper mom calls me but today, I'm already seven minutes late and no one called me. I quickly rush downstairs as I stretched my dress since am not ready for any lecture concerning my dressing.

I entered the dinning room and everyone is there so I greeted them all, "good evening everyone!" Only Snowy answered back, "young mommy!come and eat with me." But the rest just looked at me and went on with their meals. I took my seat and Helen served me my usual. I took a few bites when Michal spoke up.

"Sarah why did you misbehave with Ella?"

I wasn't expecting any talk over dinner. I cleared my throat and said, "I don't think that's called misbehaving, right Ella?" I looked up from my tray and looked at Ella who was avoiding me.

"Did Ella speak to you about it? I've asked you so answer me, stop bringing her into this!" He's raised his voice now.

"I thought you said I misbehaved with Ella, so this also concerns her Michal!"

"Bro, Sara is not at fault. I was there also. It's Ella who..." Anna finally spoke up.

"So even you were present when all this happened? Why didn't you stop Sara? I hope you two still remember that Ella is your sister-in-law!"

"Oh hello! No one needs a ride sister-in-law who's always diminishing our family and speaking high of her family! Am tired of all these dramas in this damn hell!" I couldn't control myself anymore so I out bursted.

"Hey Sara watch your language! You don't want to be punished for that foul language!" Now it's dad who's speaking. I don't want to talk back to him since I know when I start it will be impossible to stop. So I just keep quiet to him and throw a sharp look at Ella who saw it and looked away.

"This is not over Sara! I still need answers. You can't misbehave and walk freely. Get it?"

"And what did Ella tell him coz he's not leaving this. Ok I'll play along with it Ella hope you can bare the outcome" I said inwardly looking at Ella.

"What was wrong with Anna asking her where she was going and if we could drop her huh? Did she have to talk bull shit to Anna?" I answered back to Michal but dad threw daggers to me with his eyes, if looks could kill I would be the late Sara! But he didn't say anything, he knew it's hard to make me do something I don't want.

"Anna! What did Ella do to you? And Ella why didn't you mention Anna when you complaint to me?"

Anna said, "lemme tell you what happened..." She didn't finish because Ella cut her off.

"What's the problem with the daughters of this family? They are always after me! Didn't I tell you that I was going to my mom's place to see my son, he's missing me so I was going there when the two started misbehaving.." Ella was explaining to her husband but seemed more of complaining.

"We were going out and saw her at the parking lot. How are we to know where she was going Michal? I just asked her nicely if she wanted us to drop her off. And what's the problem if we could go to her place and see Mike? Isn't he our nephew Michal?" Anna was now angry at Ella.

"I don't really know what happened to Ella because she wasn't like this when we first met her. She's been behaving like a stranger in this house. Not talking to anyone other than Michal. Her son is also living at her mom's place and only comes to sleep here at night then in the morning he goes to school and after school he goes to Ella's mom's house and Ella only brings him here for the night and the trend goes on till the weekend and he stays there for the weekends and we'll see him on Monday night again. As for the holidays, he goes to tour different places with either his martanal grandparents or Ella's brother and his family. Isn't he a son of this family? Why does he only come here as a stranger? I even doubt if he's Michal's son!" I said looking at everyone and they all had stopped eating and they were looking at me too. But when I saw Michal's reaction at the last part of my words, I think I shouldn't have said that.
