I got back home really excited because Mia promised to help, her parents are extremely wealthy people so I was very sure they were going to help, hey dad I greeted with a peck on dad's right cheek, how was school today? You came back late, well you see, the thing here is that as we are close to graduation we would be ve engaged in a lot of classes for our final exams, oh true I get it and I expect the best from you Anna, your mum always wanted this to happen and I'm sure she would be happy where ever she is to see her daughter, dad said with a teary eye, common dad I don't wanna see you like this, I know and I'm sorry dad said with a smile, is Luther home I asked trying to change the topic, no not yet dad replied,
I'll make breakfast fast I said walking to the kitchen, I got to the kitchen and made spaghetti and Curry Stew, I served it on the table, dad dinner is ready and I'll be going to shower before I come down for dinner, okay Hun dad said with a nod of the head, I ran upstairs and stripped out of my clothes then headed to the bathroom to shower, after showering I changed into a loosed big shirt then sat on my bed, I picked my phone up and saw that I had two messages from Mia I clicked in it and the messages popped up
" hey girl my dad said in a few days he would get back to me about the job you want"
And the other read " I have great news to tell you tomorrow, good night"
After I read the message I was beyond excited I was very glad that I would be able to help my dad, I typed a thanks and laid quietly on the bed. I heard a knock on the door and before I could respond the door was opened and Luther walked in "hey sis" really lu and it was not important that I respond before you walk in, I'm sorry he said scratching the back of his head nervously, hey come sit over here I say giving space to him on the bed, what's wrong? I uhmm..
I got a Job at an eatery as the waiter and I accepted because I want to be of help to you and dad, I almost teared up listening to my brother he was becoming a man and taking responsibility, Anna what's wrong he asked when he noticed the tears, I'm so proud of you Luther I said and pulled him into a hug, thanks but you don't have to cry to show that you are making me sad, alright I said wiping my cheek but you don't have to work I'm here and I'm your elder sister all I want you to do for me is to concentrate in school morever Mia's dad has promised to get me a job, Luther's face brightened upon hearing that "that's great news sis, have you told dad about it yet" no not yet till I'm sure about it so you don't have to work please just concentrate on school alright promise me that, yeah whatever I promise it's not like I want to work anyways, let's go down for dinner dad has eaten and left to sleep.
We had dinner and bid each other goodnight,I went back to the room and said my night prayers before turning off the light then fell into an endless sleep.
I woke up the next day and left for school where I met Mia at the usual meeting spot, I thanked her for helping me and she responded with a smile, hey Mia you said there's something you are going to tell me, yes it's huge!!!! And we can't talk about it now Mia squealed, we'll talk about it at the hollow's when we are having lunch, okay I replied wandering what was so huge that she had to tell me. We went to the class and I kept on thinking about how I would build a future for myself and brother. I didn't even realize that it was already past lunch till Mia screamed in my ear, "common girl what are you lost thinking about" nothing really
Nothing? Then how comes everyone left you In class and you didn't even notice it, I just shrugged off my shoulders not ready to reply Mia understood and became quiet, I was already feeling bad for my friend because this one month had changed me this was not my normal behavior, I just needed a little more time then maybe I will become like my old self again, just maybe.
We walked into the restaurant and took our seats I ordered just a doughnut and a fresh cup of watermelon juice while Mia ordered noodles and bla BLA BLA. So what's up Mia I asked. Phew!!! She said taking in deep breaths with her two hands above her chest "Anna.... I am getting married she shouted making all heads turn to us, what!!! Is this some kind of joke? are you doing this to generate some sought of reaction from me I asked her with a suspicious look, look at me Anna do I joke with something as serious as this she said making me stare at her and I could see that she meant everything she said, who, when, how all this questions kept coming as l asked her and why didn't you tell me you were in a relationship
