When i got home,opened the door and rushed in and grabbed a Firstaid and got into the bathroom.
sure had some bruise and a few cuts here and there but am sure i wont look so bad.
i got an injury on my way back from school,more like I fell butt-hard on the hard concrete sidewalk.
It didn't come as a shock although I wasn't expecting it but it happened
anyways.
Just good old history repeating itself,I've been falling and sustaining injuries for someone years now and it only happens on a first day in any term of school.
Making it three times I injure myself badly in a year.
I can't believe I get to fall on every first day of school like a kid.
I don't know why it happens and I ain't clumsy....not atall🤗.....or maybe a little😄.
i took a quick shower and went into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
Nothing to munch on.... i sighed
............
Mom came back looking rather tired and exhausted...
i was sitting on the sofa in the sitting room going through some books.
i had always been a two goody shoes straight A kid right from...
well as long as.....as i could remember.
Of which i dont remember much....
No childhood memories,a little of my dad of which he died a few years ago.not much of my two sisters.i tell you,those two were of no use to me even though they were both older.....like way older than me.big sis tess was 6 years older and Charlie was
5 years older than me.being 17,there was no connection between us.i guess they see me as a child/baby.i sometimes wish i could confront them someday and tell them all i wanted to,spill out all the resentment i had deep inside towards them.
I do remember times when they would shoo me away anytime i came to sit with them whenever they were chit-chatting or playing fun games.well,am glad they're in school now and only comeback sometimes during breaks.i still hate them tho....they were the sole cause of something that happened to me 7years ago...a happening i never want to remember ever again....
They were never there when i needed them,they never got my back on anything. Atleast am glad that they're all far far away.....schooling.
The creaking of the door startled me.looking up towards the door behind was mom,
this woman is a hustler,she took up two jobs to keep up with the bills and fees.i sometimes wish i could help,more than i do. "welcome mom"i greeted as i stood up to get her bag from her. "Thanks Kate,please get me some water"
that's the way she calls me and i like it. KATE
I went to the kitchen and poured her a glass of water.i came and handed it to her and she drowned the whole thing in a blink of an eye.
"Umm kate,am gonna go take a shower,did you happen to cook anything?she asked with a knowing smile.and i returned it with an equal knowing smile.it was something we both knew,she didn't like cooking and she preferred it if i did the cooking.
I went into the kitchen and dished out moms meal.i had prepared something earlier on after I was done with cleaning up my wound. it was evening now and the rumblings of my tummy reminded me i hadn't eaten the food when i finished cooking it.i grabbed another plate for myself.i had prepared rice and chicken sauce for dinner although it was cold by now and mom wouldn't like it that way so i put it in the microwave to warm up a bit. I set up the little dinning table we had.our house wasn't very big but it wasn't very small either.it was comfortable enough for me and mom.....
I brought mom's food to the table when it was done. Kept her a glass of water and some Orange juice aside in a jug.and here i was waiting for mom to finish showering so we could eat together... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.....
"So.....how was school Kate? mom asked as she settled in her stool.before giving me her full attention.
"Schools fine" i answered.paying less attention to her and focusing more on my plate.....
***mom sighed***
"Kate this is your first day in school and all you can say about it is....its fine???. She paused a little to know if i
had any other additions to make i guess.....but she get any.
Its not as though i do it intentionally but i just.......dont know why.
i know if mom could do something or pay just to make me start talking as much,she'd do it without delay.
The silence in the room was quite thick.....just then
"Baby this food is delish......i bet i will never be able to make a meal as good as this"mom exclaimed.moaning as she spoke...ofcourse i know she was just exaggerating.
"Ohhh... mom"i cooed
"No kate this is...did i ever tell you how much you would make a good wife...
"Yea,yea like a bijillon times.....yes and besides...."i paused
"Am listening.....she said lyrically.
"I don't think i wanna get married"i said shyly almost to myself.
This isn't the first time we talking about this.
"Sure you don't"said mom in a *whatever* kinda way.
"Kathie???!!!she looked at me in a scrutinizing manner.
"You fell on your way back didn't you?
I nodded,not looking up from my plate.
Mom sighed deeply...
"Hope you didnt sustain much injury....come let me take a closer look"she said as she studied me closely.she checked the bruise on my face,my arm.....i hid the one on my knee from her because it was very deep and mom seeing it could make her loose it and want to take me to the hospital for a proper treatment.
"Were you being careful"?she asked.
I would have laughed if not for the fact that she asked in a serious tone.
"Yea mom"
**********
"Goodnight darling"
"Goodnight mom"
She kissed my forehead and we departed to our separate rooms.
UNKNOWN P.O.V
She's so beautiful.....
She's such an angel
Just as before.....
I thought as i watched her tuck in her
Bed...
Soon enough i started hearing soft snores like melody to my ears
I could sit her by her window and listen to it all day and never grt tired of it.......
Damn!!!!!!
I love it.....
I love her.....
And she's all mine.....
Mine.....
