I was about to enter my room when I heard a sob and a small noise from mama's room.
My forehead furrowed. I just finished putting what we ate on the table. I turned off the chin lights. Only lights from my bedroom were on.
I did not hesitate to approach there and peek.
Mama was sitting on the edge of her bed crying while holding her cellphone.
"That's why you didn't come home Ismael ?! When else huh? My God, Zandria is on her age! What will she say? When did you make us look stupid? You just make me a fool for almost a year? And you're going to tell me we're going to divorce Ishmael!? "
I could not process what I heard.I even heard mama's sob and left I immediately.
I don’t know how I’m going to pick up the torn pieces of my personality from the ones I heard from mama.Dad is a seaman. All I know from then is that he comes home here two or maybe three times a year. But now he did'nt.
What is that? Is he going to break up with mama? Why? What will happen to us now?
I'm in so much pain, how can it be in mama's position? She's getting old! She gets sick!It's too complicated. We both don't have a work.
I woke up the next day and got ready to go to school.
Mama was still asleep when I left. I just cooked food for her before leaving.
I feel sorry for my mother. I already know a lot and have heard of this situation from someone else or maybe from a friend. I didn’t know that would happen to us either.
I hope they can talk first before they rush things. Whatever dad’s reason for why he dont want us... I don’t know!
Is it that easy for dad to forget us?
I really admired my dad. He endures even far from us to sustain us But from what I heard last night from mom? That admiration was gone.
I feel a mixture of pain, pity and hatred.
I go to school with a mind full of negativity. I probably couldn’t believe this was really happening to us.
I could feel the gaze of the students as I passed the alley. But I can hardly reciprocate their kind of attention for me because I have a bigger problem than I can focus on them.
I see them pushing, I don't know why. But before I could get away someone held my arm back.
I looked at the woman who held my hand, I'm confused.
I looked at her lazily. What's her prob?
"Who do you think you are now?" She smirked. " Even if you're Damon's girl ,we don't pay respect for you! I know Damon will dump you like a trash after he's done with you!"
I raised an eyebrow. What? I'm not doing anything!
I was not mistaken. This is one of the women who's drove crazy about Damon, one of the flings he used to have.
"I'm doing nothing." I have a bigger problem now. Are they still making this worst? I don't care what their problem is.
"You're not doing anything? Why are you clinging to him like that? You feel the same way?"
The other woman with her laughed just sitting where I had seen them earlier. y
My blood suddenly boiled. I don't like catfights. I prefer a quiet life without chaos. But I don't know about these people!
"I stick around because he likes me." I said coldly. My hand clung firmly to my bag.
I have a problem with my family and then what is this woman's blowing up!?
"If you have a problem with Damon, tell him directly, not to me! Because I have a more important problem than your superficial ones."
"What? ! Well. Let's see. I know you're just one of Damon's toys to be bored, torn and ignored afterwards! That's where you're going."
Tears welled up in my eyes. To see myself like that? I do not know. I don’t know how I will feel.
"If that ever happens to me. You're out of it!" My voice was raspy and I was about to cry. I was in tears with annoyance and anger!
I think she was even more embarrassed so she was about to slap me but for some unknown reason my hand slapped her first.
Her jaw dropped, she held her cheek which I slapped.
Her companion stood up.
"How dare you!" She screamed and would have slapped me again but someone stopped her.
Her face became pale.
Goodness! I was so stunned from what i've done too!
"What I don't like at all are the catfights at my University" Sebe said coldly to the women in front of him. The one I slapped and those with her.
"S-Sir Sebe."
Sebe turned to me and I bowed in embarrassment.
"Go to your room." He commanded.I quickly left there.
Shit! Lots of people are watching!
I ditched my last subject. I can't stand it anymore coz nothing enters my brain.
I really want to cry all my frustrations. I am so afraid that mama might get depress.
The afternoon wind made me close my eyes. How I wish everything was fine. I love mama and I love papa. I don't want our family to be separated.
"Open your eyes."
I was suddenly dilated.
Damon was in front of me and, smirking.
"Damon." My chest throbbed as soon as I saw him. I felt relieved to see him.
I wanted to cry suddenly. His jaw tightened when he saw me my emotions. He pulled me quickly.
He took me to his car before looking at me seriously.
I noticed the thick tinted of his car.
"Come here... I need a kiss." he tapped his lap.
My heart pounded violently.
I was a slave and obeyed what he said. I slowly sat on his lap.
His hand wraps around my waist and he unconditionally touched my chin and kissed me softly.His kiss seemed like a medicine and my pain disappeared like a bubble.
"I heard you slapped someone." I was stunned by what he said.
"I didn't mean that." I bent down and looked up at his arm. I got chilled, looking at his arms looks so ruthlessly strong!
He held me even closer so I leaned on his chest. I inhaled his expensive perfume.
"It's not bad to defend yourself sometimes." He whispered. He is right."Is there a problem?" He burried his face on my neck. He gently kissed me there.
"N-Nothing."
"Can you go out at night?"
I raised an eyebrow at his question.
"I want to hug you all night in bed. May I?"
I feel like I'm going to lose my breath because of nervousness.
I looked at him and nodded softly. A smile flashed on his lips and he kissed me again on the lips.
