I never really wanted anything except to be love and seen. I grew up with my father's parents, my grandparents i call them babu and mamu. Those two would cover for me and they love me so so much. I feel like if something happen babu and Mamu would shield me from it.They took me in ever since my mom died and father decided I was irrelevant to him (sighs) . I have been living with mamu and babu since I was five years not long after mom's accident. Dad thought it would be better to live with them,i shrug. In reality that man just wanted his new wife and step daughter to move in without any disturbance.I really don't care I mean my grandparents are literally the best, they love me and I love them too.
Calanthe, Calanthe , Calanthe, I heard my name, apparently the janitor has been calling my name while I was lost in my thoughts.
Won't you be on your way home?she asked. I will,Clara I just need to finish this painting,i said trying to find the right shades of color for my art project which mr James had given to me. Well Calanthe you need to go home it's dark already and you can continue when you come in tomorrow, beside's you come in very early every time.
I decided to listen to her and pack my things, just then i checked my phone and saw 10 missed calls from mamu.
shit, shit , shit I said repeatedly! Is everything all right , Mrs Clara asked looking worried for me. Yes ma, nothing serious just mamu has been trying to reach me I said hurriedly. Well you need to hurry oo and be careful.
I will ma I said getting my back pack and hurried out after saying good byes.
I got home and heard noise from the living home. Mamu I saw a car outside who is the visitor i shouted before getting inside. As I got inside I saw someone who I never expected to see. Yep my father is in the living room and with the look of things is like he and babuare arguing .
Baby don't worry just go upstairs and shower dinner will be ready in a minute. Mamu said trying to force me upstairs.
As I was about to go up the stairs my Father told to come back. Jack let the girl go my babu said sounding madly upset. No dad she's my daughter and I came to see her. My father said harshly.
well it looks like it involves me so what's it,I said hurriedly so their attention is back on me not on themselves. Well umm well my father said taking as if he doesn't know what to say. Well what I said frustrated.
Caly I want to come home with me , he dropped the sentence he could say. At first I was looking and then I started to laugh everyone was looking at me like I had grew horns in my head. I'm sorry I said still laughing, then I noticed they were all looking serious. Oh you are not joking I said suddenly looking serious. But what about mamu and babu and school and my friends. Friends, friends my father said feeling agree if I hadn't heard from your principal that you were involved in the fire last month, none of you would have called. And friends you call those people you stole with your friends caly uhhh,He shouted angrily.
We didn't steal anything we were framed,i also shouted at him. You were framed, he scoffs ok what about the fire uhh caly cause I had to pay a whopping sum of 50 thousand dollars for the damage you did. Well I didn't ask you to and if you have always checked in on me you won't have heard from someone who wouldn't tell you whole truth, I said breathing heavily.
Jak, calm down Babu said . No Dad do not tell me to calm down, you all knew about the fire incident and didn't tell me and you want me to leave my daughter here with you guys. He shakes his head, no can't do it.
your daughter, I said feeling angry, which daughter, me I said pointing to my self, I know it can't be me cause you left me with Babu and Mamu for 13 years and all of a sudden you remember you have a daughter. At this point I was fed up and I can hear Mamu telling me to calm down.
Even if you want to me go with you, what about school and everything I said to him. Well I already registered you in St Laurent you are to resume on Monday and everything else can start again, he said feeling proud of himself. Wow I said shockingly, you already planned it out.
caly, he started but I cut him out, fine I'll go I said and I heard mamu gasp.
Calanthe, Babu started, honey if you don't want to go it's fine. No babu I will go I said then went upstairs to my room to pack my things. An hour after packing my things I went downstairs and told babu and many I loved them and would come home for the holidays then my father and I went to the airport and left the city of Victoria Australia to L.A America.
