Alright, Alesia, let's meet at our house tonight and please don't be late for dinner, I believe you don't want to miss it because mom is going to prepare your favorite!! Alexa said, ending the conversation.
Alesia is my childhood friend, we attend the same high school, we do most of our things together, we're more like a sister.
We are to meet for dinner tonight to catch up with each other as well as discuss school activities together because we are going to be resuming the next day.
My name is Alexa Raphael, the oldest daughter of the Raphael's Family and I'm 16 years old, my dad is a pharmacist who runs his own business with the help of my my.... Then Allie and Byan are my siblings but they're still young.
Our Family lives a normal, peaceful life, we love each other and our parents cares alot about us.
I got down from upstairs and I saw dad watching TV, I ran to him, embraced him,
" Dad, where is mama?"
"Mama is in the kitchen preparing dinner" said my dad.
I quickly left the living room to the kitchen to help mama prepare for dinner. I met my mama preparing in the kitchen so I gave her helping hand. After 1 hour, we finished preparing the food with mama.
When mama started dishing the food, someone knocked, I quickly ran out of the kitchen to check if who it was, dad got the door and it was Alesia.
"How are you?" asked my dad
"I'm good and how have you been doing" asked randomly by Alesia.
Before dad could answer her, I ran towards her, we embraced ourselves as if we've not seen each other for a decades.
""Alesia, I've missed you so much""
"I miss you more.""
"Okay, enough girls, go to the kitchen to help your mama serve the table"", said Papa.
Okay papa, we both replied happily and left for the kitchen.
"I felt strange that night, as I looked into Alexa eyes, it felt as if it's the last time I will see her smile beautifully like this, Alesia thought to herself""
We helped mama to set the table and everything was set for dinner...
At 8:00pm, everyone was present for dinner, dad asked Alesia to pray, she prayed and the food was served, we enjoyed our meal, the entire family had fun that night not knowing there is going to be an unexpected tragedy....
After eating, Alesia and I cleared the dining table and we cleaned the dishes. After cleaning, we bid others goodnight, both of us went to my room, we discussed school matters, we played games, pranks and after a long time we fell asleep.
I was rolling on the bed and fell down, I tried to get up and looked outside, I saw it's already morning, I jumped on top of Alesia to wake her up, we helped ourselves to get ready, we went downstairs, saw dad leaving for work, mama preparing Allie and byan for school, we bid them good bye.
We moved quickly out of the house because we are already late but mama called out to us,
"won't you eat before leaving"", said mama.
"we are late, we will eat in school", said Alexa""
""I have packed your food, come back to get it"", said mama.
I quickly go back inside to get our food packs from the kitchen and I turned back immediately when I got to the door, my leg felt heavy to leave the house, I looked at mama and my siblings, my heart felt heavy, I felt something strange but I have no hint about the feeling.
Alesia saw me and approached me and asked!!
"You looked bothered, is everything okay?
Fine Alesia, I said
my heart feels heavy to leave them, I'm having this strange feeling, it's like I might not see them again, a slight tear fell down my cheeks.
Alesia embraced me and said everything will be fine, then we left for school.
The whole activities in school did not sit well with me, I was lost in thought, checking time every minute so that I will be able go home as early as I could.
Flash Back
When I got back inside to get our lunch pack, I was about to leave when I felt something strange within me, I stopped my tracks, I turned back to talk to mama, getting in front of her, seeing her smile towards me made me even more afraid to reach out to her.
Mum?
She looked up strangely and said!!
"Dear, is anything wrong""?
I ignored her question and asked her!
""Mama, can you not go out today""?
"My love, is everything okay with you?, she asked"".
I'm fine mama!! Can you answer my question now.
Okay dear, I will be going out today to reach out to some clients to discuss business, the meeting has already been scheduled for today and I have to attend but I will be back before you come back from school.
"Are you sure you're okay"?, mama asked worriedly
I'm fine, it's just that I'm having a strange feeling.
Mama looked into my eyes, took both my hands into hers and she said everything is going to be alright and she gave me her brightest smile, she embraced me, I couldn't hold back my tears because it felt warmer than usual. She broke the hug and told me to head outside, Alesia is waiting for you.
I took the courage to walk outside, when I got to the door, my leg felt heavy to take the last step outside, Alesia saw me from outside and approached me.
~End of Flash back~
The fact that I was eager to go home did not allow me to finish my classes for that day, so I sneaked out of school when I was feeling too uneasy..
Will she meet them at home?
What is the unexpected tragedy?
Will she be able to take the shock?
