*EPISODE 13*
Mercy became tired of life, all she wished for was to go far away from the house but she can’t because he will surely know and find her. He has spy everywhere around her. Somtimes, she wished severally that her mum could help her but nothing of such is visible. It’s obvious, she is alone in the battle.
Mercy fell asleep while she was lost in the thought. She woke up at the tap on her shoulder. She shivered as she stood up and opened her eyes. It was her mother
“Mummy… welcome back” she said as she yawned
“Mercy what is wrong with you? See the way you look. You look untidy, infact, you are a mess”…Mercy was about to talk when her mother stopped her.
“I have not finished talking so I do not seek for your permission yet. Now, you said you are sleeping here and you left the door opened. What if it was someone else you don’t know that entered? What would you have done? Her mother said angerly
I am sorry mum. I didn’t realise I didn’t lock the door after daddy left” Mercy said and yawned
“So you mean the door has been opened since your dad left till this time? Her mother asked as she checked the time
“Yes mum…. I forgot to lock it before sleeping. I slept off, it was unplanned” Mercy said again.
She hardly sleep, she is always thinking about something
“Oh God! and you are proud to open your mouth and tell me this nonsense. You have been sleeping since 10:00am-6:00pm? Is it because your daddy refused to accept you going to serve in Enugu, that’s why you refused to lock the door after he left? Or is this the way you will be sleeping in cam" her mother said
Mercy was dumbfounded and surprised by the words of her mother. She couldn’t believe the same person who was advising her in the morning is the same peeson talking harshly. Her eyes were filled with tears as she apologised and walked straight to her room.
“God what’s going on? I don’t understand my life anymore. Why is there so many noise in my life. Why am I not getting it right? Or is this how my life is destined to be” She said it loud as she lie down, with tears flowing down her eyes..
