ELIZABETH
Every careful fragile step I took was in fear and anger. I was treading on an unknown path to the written address that lay at our entrance upon my arrival at home after the talk with Mrs Kimberly while internally worried for the safety of my mother.
It felt like my world had been torn into two and I was in neither of them. My mind had raced a billion thoughts that I wasn't able to push back like I always did, thus making me more scared than normal. I took little silent steps and stood at the entrance, preparing myself for the worst when suddenly it felt wrong being here and conflicts arose within me.
Some part of me felt odd and wronged for being there. The sane part of it though. I could feel the battle inside of me,the strong disagreement,the turmoil,the confusion and the whispers to go back but I've got to act human and emotional enough to come down and save mum here. Alas, I saw her!
Neatly dressed in the clothes she wore earlier this morning, seated on a golden chair in the middle of the room with eyes fixed to the ground and fingers tightly holding onto the table before her. Externally,she hadn't been touched but her mind and comfort have definitely been shaken.
"Welcome, welcome"
I jerked back,and my legs staggered tremendously at the loud voice that echoed in the room upon my last step towards where mum was seated.I looked around and saw no one,then I stared at mum raising a questioning brow. She looked scared and had suddenly turned pale so much so that I felt weak in the knees and soul.Her fingers pointed up to a camera and speaker fixed at the ceiling,that was when I realised that they probably didn't want to show their faces and decided to talk to me through those.
They couldn't even stand before a girl.
I stared deeply at the cameras,my whole body boiling with anger, guilt and disgust. Cowards!
I really want to get done with this before mum passed out and prepare myself for a new day at a new place of work tomorrow, so I kept glaring and frowning at the camera while my hands squeezed mum's in assurance and comfort. She's got a habit of unconsciously running out of breath in an uncomfortable situation and that had never bothered me until today.
Five minutes passed in clear silence ,so I passed a message across
"Can we go now since you've got nothing to say to us"
It came out more like a command than a question and I was silently hoping for the most suitable response.
No response!
So,I waited again until I finally lost it,pulled mum and strode angrily towards the door. Then I heard claps
Claps!!!
C– L –A freaking P– S !
For crying out loud! They were actually clapping. I didn't want to do this the fast way so I cooled down my angry self and took deep steady breaths.
Seven steps forward,I faced the cameras again,raised my fingers and displayed the🖕sign.
"Nah, mama you don't wanna do that"
"Right now?It's too big for you,you ain't gon be walking for weeks "
"I could, but big mama's right here, don't want her watching live porn now do we?"
Different voices rose with humour and chuckles that I finally concluded that it's a they. The first one however sounded clearer and very familiar that it drove me nuts when I just couldn't recollect where and when I heard it.
Not knowing how many they were,I decided not to take any rash actions and just left my gun at it's safe place. With increased frustration,I told mum to stay still while I took two more steps forward.
