Good morning god mum, Abi said as she consumed her breakfast. Good morning baby, that's a great aroma coming from there, can I have some? Alice asked Betty.
Take this soup first, Betty said. I guess that's the punishment for what happened yesterday, Alice said. Whatever you call, just make sure you don't feel sick throughout today, Betty said.
Aunt, can I ask for a favour? Abigail asked. What's that Abi? Alice asked. I want to see grand god mum today, Abi said. Abi, I told you she can't see anyone now, Betty said. Don't shout at the child, she only cares, Alice said.
Come here baby, Alice aid as she tapped her lap for Abi to sit.Grand god mum just recovered and no one is allowed to see her, you saw her last week before her operation, do you like the way she looked? Alice asked.
Abi nodded her head negatively. When grand God mum is fine, I promise... you would spend time with her, just make me proud with your grades, you've always made me proud though and don't forget mum loves you, I also love you, Alice said.
I love you too mum, I love you too god mum... can't wait to have a god sis or bro, Abi said. Alice rolled her eyes, Dinah would give you that, I mean she just got married, she said. You should get married too, Betty said. Time will tell, Alice said.
John!!! Abi shouted as she got out of the car. Abi!!! A little boy shouted as he ran out of a car. Alice was surprised her little fellow has made a friend. She got down of the car to make sure she gets to class.
Um, she made a friend. I'll just wait for her, She mumbled to herself. She saw a young man coming out of the car Abi's friend came down from. That must be his dad. Nice stature, she said as she couldn't see his face.
Abi waved at her to come. Finally, Alice sighed as she walked towards them. He looks familiar from far, guess I have to stop drinking, everyone is looking the same to me, She soliloquized.
Hello uncle, I'm John's friend, Abi said as she admired the handsome man. He smiled at her and patted her head. Abi giggled so hard that she almost forgot Alice was there. Alicia rolled her eyes.
The young man traced little Abi's eye sight to get a glimpse of what she was staring at. Alicia couldn't help but freeze. Bye god mum, bye uncle, let's go John, Abi said as she left with John.
A... A... A.. lex, she said with a shaky voice. She went towards him slowly as she touched his face, she didn't know what to feel at that moment. All she could do was to cry. She teared up so hard that anyone could feel what she felt.
No... it's a dream, you aren't Alex, right? You just look like him... she hugged him so tight, let me do this before I wake up from this dream. She hugged him so tight, she wasn't ready to let go.
Oh... it's not a dream, she said as another tear dropped on her cheek. He felt the wet liquid on his chest. He wanted to kiss her so bad but he felt so sorry that she had to go through hell because of him everyday.
I'm sorry, he said. Alice looked up. For what? She said with a sad face. I'm not Alex, I just look like him... alot of people say I look familiar, he said. Alice touched the necklace on his chest.
Hoe did she know I had it on. But no one would know I have a necklace under my shirt. Where did you get the necklace,she said after she pulled it out. I got it,is there a problem? he asked.
She teared up again. Why are you doing this to me,where did it go wrong,what did I do for you to neglect me. Tell me if you fell out of love,she said as she broke down.
He wanted to hold her and explain everything to her but he didn't want to hurt her again. Miss,I'm sorry,I'm not the person you are looking for,he said as he gave her an handkerchief. He then zoomed off.
Alex, you're back....why do you look so down ....
