I just got home late, after those three decided to cheer me up after coffee morning
As I entered, I greeted my mum, who just sighed “Thank God”,
Probably because I came home safe, I took a step up the stairs, when I heard his husky voice
Where do you think you are coming from by this time of the night?
I just froze at one point, and managed to look back and my mum beckoned me to be quiet
She knew we were at the verge of exchanging words again, since that has become our routine
Then he spoke up again, am I not asking you a question, “young girl”
I hate it when he calls me young girl, for crying aloud I blurted out
Dad am 27years old, in case you forgot
Then he flared up again, I could not describe the fury in his eyes at that moment
I was not sure if his eyes were that red because I told him not to call me young girl or because I said something else
He always become so angry like a lion, when it comes to my age or birthdays
Nevertheless, I just regarded it as if the man does not like me that much
Then he spoke up again,
I told you if you want to be sleeping with every man in trousers; you had better leave my house
I will not come home and my house is not complete, I just looked straight ahead and trying so hard to control my anger.
Though I was fuming inside, I cannot stand mum being in the center of everything again
I hate to see her cry because my Dad decided to be so cold towards his family
Sometimes I wonder if he gave birth to me and if he ever loved the woman he married
After several noises from him, I walked straight to my room, and la!d down
I heard a knock on my door, and mum entered
Kate, I told you not to talk back at him when he is fuming at you
However, you disobeyed me out there again
Mum, I can’t stand Dad treating me that way, am not a kid anymore
I just want him to recognize me as his own
On the other hand, am I not his daughter?
Had the table been turned to the other side, I would understand.
However, with him, I do not seem to get it
Mum just stood up at once and scared the hell out of me
That is supposed to mean, Mum asked
Your food is in the microwave in case you get hungry
Then she walked out
I slapped my mouth, asking myself in deep thought what I said wrong
Mum avoided me the whole week, Dad just hiss anytime he bumped into me in the house
I just wanted to be daddy’s girl, why won’t he give me that chance, was it my fault I am his only child
I was in deep thought, when she walked into my office
Stacy buzzed in; informing me Eve was looking for me
I raised up my face and my gaze fell on the figure walking towards my direction
I just dropped what I was doing and stared,
Can I sit down; I nodded my head to her question
She took her sit, and there was silence for a while
Then she stood up, look Kate, I don’t know why am even here in the first place
I guess to kill me finally, I retorted
Common Kate, we both know I wasn’t at fault, if you were in my shoes would you have said anything.
Remember the girl’s code; see and do not tell, she hissed with a pathetic face
I also remember the code, which said no snatching of another’s partner. I answered her
I guess you could have made an exception for this one, at least I told you I was going to the house that day, and you could have dropped a hint
I was so surprised I was so calmed, talking to this betrayal of a friend
How was I going to do that when you really want to move in with him?
I told you several times to take your time that was a hint enough Kate
Therefore, you just came to my office to apportion blames on our failed friendship or my failed love.
Infact get out of my office, she just sat there staring at me
Then she finally spoke up, to think I just came here to invite a very good friend to my wedding
It seemed like she is still holding a grudge against the wrong person
Annette was right; I should not have come here in the first place
She dropped what seemed like an invitation card on my desk and walked out
I slumped in my chair, thinking if I did the right thing, throwing her out of my office
I had lunch with drake, where we discussed Eve’s presence in my office the previous week
He could not help but just stare at me throughout the lunch
He did not say much and I was wondering if he was even listening to me at all
I decided to talk to mum, about Eve’s wedding, I had a soft spot for my friends
Until the three decided to betray me, but we had plans, we took a whole vacation to plan how our weddings were going to be the talk of town, because it was going to be us three at the same time
Nevertheless, what do I get now; they are moving on without me, should I cry over this again
Mum wiped my face with the back of her hand telling me to find a way and forgive them including the b—h herself; Matilda
I told her that would not be possible, and then my dad walked in.
To be continued
