I got in and could smell the dinner my mother was preparing. This reminded me that I haven't taken any other thing aside the lunch I had during lunch break.
"I'm home" I announce my arrival and walked to the kitchen area. "Hi mom" I greeted.
"How was school today honey? " my mother asked. "Just the norms. Didn't go to work today?" I couldn't help but asked.
"I didn't, I worked from home today because I needed to rest. I've been feeling a bit tired these past days" she replied.
Hearing her reply, my heart skipped a beat. Instantly, my mind flashed back to the dream I had this morning. She saw my worried look and smile at me. "You don't have to worry dear, I'm fine now. I just needed a little rest" she assured me. I nodded in acceptance. "Go freshen up and come help me out with the remaining dinner" she told me.
I went straight to my room still having the dream in my mind. Getting to my room, I threw my bag on the bed and took off my shoes and do away with my clothes. 'I need to calm down, It was just a silly dream' I told myself. I tried pushing the thought out of my mind by playing a song on my phone 'All time low' by my favorite artiste Jon Bellion. Got into the bathroom, turn on the shower and try singing along with the song. I took extra time to clean myself up as I was unable to do so earlier in the morning due to lack of strength. After the bathe, I felt a little refreshed and energetic. I changed into a sweatpant and a loose armless top. Packed my hair in a loose buns because I wouldn't want to be disturbed when I'm helping out in the kitchen. I walked back to the kitchen. My mother was already setting the table. I just went straight to the kitchen and helped her clean up. About fifteen minutes later I heard the front door open and I could hear my dad's voice. I just went on doing the cleaning. Done with that, I went to the living room with thought of seeing my dad but he wasn't there neither was my mom. I guessed they're in their bedroom. I took the Tv remote, started surfing TV channels but nothing of interest was being shown. I decided to settle for the news. Currently, a weather forecast was being displayed and I could remember it was cloudy on my way back from school. 'I guess it will rain tonight' I thought to myself. Shortly after, my parent emerged into the living room both laughing. "Welcome Dad" I said
He sat next to me and patted my head. "Is someone feeling lonely" he said with a grin expression. I just lean on his shoulder "why won't I? You both ditched me. How was your day?" I asked him.
"It was great but a bit rough" he answered back.
"food is ready" mom called out on us. We walked over to the dinning area. Just as i was sitting, the telephone ran. "Christiana, can you get the phone" mother asked while she serve the meal. I stood up and walked over to the phone.
"Hello, the Michael's resident" I called out while placing the receiver on my ear.
"Hello, I'm Stanley calling from Grand store, am I speaking with Mrs Rebecca Michael?" The caller asked.
"A minute please" I told the caller and called upon my mom "Mom someone is on the line from the Grand store."
My mom walked over and took the receiver from me. I walked back to the dinning, sat back on my chair and started eating. My mom walked back to the table and announced that she's heading down to the store about a thirty minutes drive from my home. My dad told her to eat before going but she refused and said she wants to go get something before it gets late and will be back in no time. I looked out the window and saw that it has started raining already. My mom took her car keys and told me to clean up after eating. I kept staring at her until she walked out the front door.
