"good evening daddy" I never call him daddy.
"how are you, how was your day? hope it was pleasant. You sure are looking mighty fine right now, He he"
While I was blabbing, Tom was having a series of events happening on his face. If I am correct then it seems that Tom may actually be the one having constipation right now.
Ha, it would have been funny to me on any normal day to watch such expressions pass through his face,but I know that if I make a sound o will turn to minced meat.
"I ask again, where have you been? You where not in this house last night and the entire day, and not even a call. How irresponsible can you be." Tom rants with a red face
"oh, you mean me? I was at my boss's house. You see we worked late into the night and I woke up in his house, then he made a pass at me whilst wearing his sexy manliness.
Then I ran off to go search for a house, so I wouldn't see y'all's faces no more. After that i went shopping and Tada, here I am"
"Well done Arjana, you should have said so earlier, you must have been through so much. Come here let me give you a huggy""
Laugh my fat ass out. Arjana you play too much. The truth will get you killed.
"am I not speaking to you, young lady or have you suddenly gone deaf" I think his voice got louder. Yep he is truly angry.
I don't get it though, I am grown. Yes it was irresponsible of me not to have called but it wasn't my fault you know I really want to smack that beautiful, drop dead gorgeous, and a body to die for Mr Kyros for putting me in this situation.
Anyway, why is he so pissed, its the first time I slept out late. Unlike his best daughter, who not only sleeps out without consent, she even sneaks out most night and he knows it.
"o umm, I'm sorry, I slept at the office. I was working until it got really late and I knew I wouldn't be able to catch the bus that late so I stayed back at the office."
Lie. I am terrible.
"and today? why didn't you return in the morning?"
"he he, ugh I...I had to work again, you know. Very hardworking"
"its Sunday" he states
I am Stupid.
"oh really, I wasn't aware. Pfft, you know when you work longer, it pays guu...
"uh will you shut it. who do you think you are talking to, kids?"
Arrival of the witch. Of course she's just around the corner. I try not to roll my eyes.
"he he. Aunty, sorry mother, you're here" The look she gives me shuts my trap up.
Walking round me like she was analyzing my entire being, Julia says "Tom your daughter was out all night and you stand there listening to her trash full of excuses. Do you want me to enlighten you on her whereabout?"
What is she spewing again. Aswearugad this woman gets on my nerves.
"your daughter was out doing what flows through her veins. I'm certain she was with a man, the slut"
With a man. True
Slut. Hell No.
"That's not true" I respond to her accusation, turning from her to Tom. I can take everything, all the insults but calling me a slut. I won't abide
"I know I was irresponsible for not calling, I accept my wrong but I did not do what she said"
"are you calling me a liar?" No. you are just full of shit.
"No ma'am, but you are not right either"
"see Tom, she defending herself by calling me a liar"
"Julia stop. you are not helping at all"
" Not helping? hahaha what more do you want to hear from her. More lies?"
Mtcheeww. Someone please get this woman out of my sight before I strangle her.
"Arjana, go to your room right now. You are grounded"
"what? I am not a child Tom and I have to go to work"
"No you are going to stop that work, there's no point in going there just to service all the men in there. Actually I don't blame you. Like mother like daughter" she sneers at me
She's so close to the line
" Julia that's enough" I hear Tom caution but she goes on
" its only a matter of time before the evidence manifest like her whore of a mother. Who knows it might also be a married victim too"
She crossed it.
"He he, you are right about one thing, like mother like daughter. I don't see you cautioning your whore of a daughter for all her misgivings and you stand here accusing me of the same thing you taught her.
I'm thinking you should approve. You are the worst wife and mother anyone can have. I pity Tom. He is just spineless, so you control him too"
By the time I finished my rant, I was panting so hard out of anger.
Kindly allow me inform you of the repercussion of my bravery. Have you ever witnessed two powerful forces working in tandem?
For the first time ever Tom and Julia did and it was on my account. All I know is the pain on both sides of my face coupled with the ringing sound, I don't know if I will ever hear again.
By the way I am outside.
Mmhmm, you got it, they finally threw me out. Julia grabbed the opportunity. Tom doesn't know who I am anymore according to him. Foolish excuse but who's there to witness my plight.
Lest I forget Julia said I should go meet my lover, I can imagine how that will turn out. Worst thing is they refused to let me pick a few necessities.
Ain't my family the best in the world?
