*MOM AND DAD, I WANT TO DIE*
*PART 9*
Getting to my house, I was angry and I didn't even notice my mom who was sitting at a corner in the dinning room. I was about to cross the dinner table when I heard my name.
"Ijeoma come back here.....she said as I gently stepped back and she continued. So, I have turned so little that you can't see me abi?
"Mba (No) mama, it's not like that. I am so angry that I reacted so bad, I am sorry ma" I said
"So, it's angry that made me so small to you. What if what happened is more than anger nko? I have told you severally, you need to caution the way you react when angry. You don't just have to be rational about everything and never allow that reapet itself. Do you hear me? She asked
"Yes ma" I said even though I was still angry.
"By the way, where are you coming from? I noticed these days, I don't usually meet you at home. Where are you coming from? She asked harshly. I didn't know what to say because of how she reacted. She has never reacted in such way.
I soliloquised and was about to talk when my mom interrupted "Biko o(Please o) When did you become dumb? Didn't you hear my question at all? She asked.
"I did ma" I replied as I was shivering.
"So why aren't you saying anything? Where are you coming from? She asked again. I was confused and I didn't know what to say. I was thinking of saying Priscilla house but my mind wasn't going with that idea. I thought of another idea and I said "Mummy, I am already attending an extra lesson for free after the school activities. That is why, I always come late"
"Hmm, it's me you want to deceive abi? Why didn't you tell me earlier, why am I just hearing? She asked
"Mom, I am not deceiving you. I am doing this to surprise you and to be the best as you have always want me to be. When I saw I wasn't good in some subjects, I had to join other students to wait for extra lessons" I said
"Eeyah, see my brilliant child. That's good of you and can I at least, have the lesson teacher number" she said and smiled.
I couldn't reply her fast as I racked my brain for what to say next. Finally, an idea came and I said "Mom, I don't have his number o but he can come to meet you tomorrow" I didn't know where the boldness came from.
"Wow, it's even a he. No problem, make sure you bring him tomorrow or else you won't have peace of mind in this house. Now, go inside and change your clothes. After changing, came out to eat before doing the necessities" she said
"Alright mom" I said as I entered the room. I was about to enter my room when she called me back and said "Less I forgot, your dad is coming back tomorrow. So get prepared"
"Alright ma"I said as I walked towards my room. I thought about the mess I have created and how to clean them because my dad.
"Jesus, how am I going to convince Mr Stephen about this. He is the only one I could think of. See what, lieing has caused me. God help me" I said as I prayed for a very long time.
How would she convinced Mr Stephen about coming to her house
