Ana pov
Boo. ....
Ohhh i shouted looking back " you you almost gave me heart attack, I said Elena, who was holding a certificate also
Didn't mean to she replied giving me hers and taking mine
" We both pass" we said in unison
"Am so proud of you B"
"I am also"
"Gonna miss you"
" I gonna miss you more"
I have to go now I told her, mom will be waiting for me at home
Alright will call you later Elena Said I hug her again smiling.
.....
On getting home immediately I open the door a sweet aroma hits my nose
" Ohh mom" I laugh running towards the kitchen
She was busy frying chicken not aware of my presence
I hug her gently
" Mom am home" I whisper to her ear
Anna ...
" I pass "
" I know you will, you will always make me proud, help with the cabbage "
I wash my hands heading to the fridge to bring out the cabbage
" You know, I got married early" mom said
I took out the cabbage washing them
" And after a year I gave birth to you, i was at your age when I got married" mom continued
" Why didn't you attend any school" I ask her
" My parents wasn't ready to sponsor me, no money
Ohhh.... I mutter
Your dad promise me education after marriage she continued..
So....
I got pregnant with you ...m
Ohhhh I said feeling sad
We are expecting visitors mother announced
No wonder you cooked all these " are they people I know " I voiced out
" Go and change" mother said changing her tone
Sure I push the sliced cabbage...mood swings I mutter to myself
Alot of things I want to ask and know, I don't even know any of mother family according to her they rejected her when she go pregnant.
They were old news to her, forgotten and buried
That's why we had no photo of father, she said they bring bad memories, and father was an only child .
At times I try to create an image of dad in my heart
Was he beautiful, his he intelligent like me did he love me,
What lead to his death..
I open my wardrobe searching for clothes to wear
They must be important for mother to clean and prepare me
I took out my best cloth, removing the old one I was putting on
Me and Mom share bathroom so I quickly run to her room to have a quick shower
On getting out mom was sitting down putting on some makeup
" Hurry and get dressed they are almost here
Ok ma I replied
And put on some makeup she said tossing me some of her lip gloss and mascara
Mom I I hate makeup
Hurry
I ran to my room
After dressing up and getting ready I could hear noise already
They must be here then

The older lady stood up, brought out money dropping it on the floor

They excorted the woman out
Anna wondered what her mom was up to, the older lady was using the latest car, outside they were alot of security guard waiting for her
She must be rich and what was the money for
After shutting the door Anna mother started dancing
Anna sat down, the food her mother cooked was left untouched
" I still don't understand mom what was the meaning of all that, you never told me I was going to stay with anyone, you said we were relocating"
Anna mother stop dancing

" My prayers are urs she replied her c'mon eat "

Anna pov
Elena called as promised, we talk for long
" You should be happy then, at least you won't have to pay rent and worry about food " Elena replied me after telling her everything
" Are you for real, mom should have at least get my own opinion"
" Well I don't see anything there B, just pack your stuff and get ready
" I don't even know this woman, I'm having bad vibes about her "
" If you trust your mom, you should know she love you to put you in any trouble, just obey her elena said
Which is true
Mother has never made a bad decision for me
I remembered when I wanted to choose the course to go for I told mother I wanted to be a doctor but she said no,
" Business management" fits you
Imagine my child managing top men business
If it was anything, that was one of the best decisions she took for me
So I trust and believes anything she does.
" I do trust her " I told Elena
Im so happy for you, start arranging your cloths now
Alright I said disconnecting the call
.........
It took me roughly an hour before arranging and getting my things ready
Not because I was lazy or it was much, my soul wasn't willing to do anything
After packing I decided to take a nap
