Chapter 9 - WELCOME BACK

After walking for about thirty minutes, I felt euphoria (a feeling of great elation) in my mind as I smuggle out a smile of joy, unknown to me my greatest surprise awaits me, I quickly opened the door just to see a warming welcome written boldly

"WELCOME 💖BACK H,,ME AGAIN, MY ONE AND ONLY💋,I HAVE MISSED YOU ALOT💕

BY YOUR UNKNOWN FRIEND"

even though I loved stories and things which were related to ghosts (allium phobia), i was so astonished, but wasn't scared, this wasn't even the first time that was happening, I just walked passed it and kept heading toward the kitchen, until I had a voice

"are you hungry"

"who are you, and what do you want from me"

I was not surprised, because I had lived with this strange person for a very long time and was already used to her cooking, washing and helping me out in all my chores and worked but i couldn't know why she does so and who she really is.

"I just asked because I had cooked something for you when I found out you had being discharged from the hospital, and you were heading home, so I prepared something nice and made a hot bath for you"

"thanks but no thanks"

"so rude of you"

"hey I got a problem, can you hear me"

"no I can't"

"okay am sorry"

as I try to apologize in an Indian way which she loves so much

"okay I will hear you out, but first eat what I had prepared or my effort will all be in vain"

"as my friend says"

she had been my friend for a very long time even thou I try to find out what was eating her up, and how she died, and even where she was from or who she was, she only said to me in an angry mood

" I must take revenge"

as her eyes turns red just the same way my eyes do when i get angry, even though i had insisted so many times to help her take revenge for her death but she proved abortive to my request

"okay but be first and take your bath, we have a lot to talk about today"

she said and I she smiled happily, but I wasn't happy, I needed to find out about that lady and who she was, and how was she related to my mum, could there be more secret than what I already know or what could it be, all this flooded my mind as I on the shower, and closed my eyes as the water from the shower sprinked on me which made lost in thought and I got lost far into an unknown destination.

suddenly I saw my mum while my eyes where shut so tight

"mum, pls wait, mum!!!!!"

I shouted as she walked hastily down the lane till I didn't even see her again, after she had left I saw my dad, I hastily ran toward him and got on my knees

"Dad why did you do this to me, why did you leave me alone and why all the stories and lies I am incredulity(doubt about the truth of something) about that or else you say so"

"angela the world is a small place filled of mystery which you will soon found out about"

as I saw my mum walk toward me, and smiled happily

"my love, sorry for leaving you alone, and keeping alot of truth but death took us rapidly like a wind, am so sorry"

she said as tears rolled down her cheek and I felt her pain and i joined her

"mum pls don't cry anymore okay, its not your fault"

"you need to fight "

but now it wasn't only my mum but my dad who said those word to me for the second time as they both vanish into things air

"hey bestie, how long are you going to keep bathing"

oh she is at it again I never had my privacy to myself since I knew her.

"am out cool down" as I rushed out to the dinning to have my dinner after that I went to the sitting room to have a good conversation with my unknown ghost friend
