I was just wondering what our drama King 👑 was up to this time. I still haven't found out why he calls me mommy. " I brought you breakfast.", he said. " Our young Manu wanted to offer an apology for his behaviour yesterday. " May added. I saw him nod eagerly. No wonder I'm feeling refreshed today. "Awwww,that's so sweet of you, Manu. I'll make sure to prepare your favourite meal in return ",I said." Really??". I couldn't help but smile. He seems so happy hearing that.
I didn't realise when the next day arrived. I woke up with a strong headache. It's so unusual, I thought. I ran to the kitchen, grabbed some slice lime and squeezed the juice into slightly warm glass of water. I down it in a go. I usual don't have such terrible headache unless my memory has been triggered. But I'm wondering what could have triggered that. Wondering how that is so? Hmmm, my mom told me it has something to do with my childhood but so far as I'm concerned, I only remember having a peaceful one or maybe that's where the problem lies. Anyways,dad says its OK not remembering.
I turned only to realise the cooks were all looking at me strangely.
"Lady May, is there something on my face." I was just confused. "No dear, there's absolutely nothing on your face." She dragged me along with her as she left the kitchen. " Then why were they all staring " " Look,it's just that your husband forbid us from allowing you to take in lime " I already have a husband, I thought we were just betrothed, how come everyone is making a big deal out of this. "A husband ?",I asked." Yh, he said so and his people might have already told him we failed " I wanted to ask why but my phone rang and I left after excusing myself to answer.
" Hey handsome, where is your old number "
"Oh, beautiful, your dad had to reach his baby so he decided to test your love for him",her father sigh.
"Handsome, am I really married? I'm just a baby" I felt home- sick 🤮.
" Sorry baby. I'm aware your heart beats only for me but yes, betrothal is just like marriage. "
" But mom said it's not serious like marriage and I can divorce after a year. You promised everything to be OK ", I continued. It's not like I'm naive but I just feel like that around my dad. I like playing the game of guilt with him even though he's much conscious of, he stills play along.
" Mmmmh, I thought so but then you too used to be so attached I never imagined it to become like this after some years "
"Dad,I know you all can't get me his picture but I can't help it. What's so big about him. He's just a 23 years old man with maybe small money. What else?" Whenever I think of how everyone speaks less of him, I feel hatred towards him. He's just running people's life as if they owe him that. Just like that jerk from G.I.S.
"Baby, you and I know very well that I've sacrificed all for this same purpose but couldn't be of much help. At the end, the Aidoo family are not one to be played with. I'm sorry and worried 😯."
" Yes , dad, is there something you are afraid to tell me" I could feel his tension from my end. At least, being my dad, he'll never fail to tease me with Paakow but since I left his presence ,it's as if he has lost a part of him.
He denied and I decided to hold on a bit so I didn't press on. I just went with the flow. We spoke for a while then hung up.
The day went by slowly even though I was engrossed in my painting 🎨. I felt like there was an invisible being turning the hand of time backwards. No one disturbed me that day. No Manu to pull up surprises nor my personal maid or ladyMay. I even skipped lunch to my surprise. Dad has never kept any secret from me except unless my betrothal and now more is unfolding. I kinda feel insecured and lost if not abundant and betrayed. When my eyes caught sight of the Lucian I painted, I suddenly missed his touch and kisses. He has a way of driving away negativities. But I've still not forgiven him; how could he think of leaving me behind. Such nerves and now,he's not even bothered that he's not hearing from me. I'll deal with him after I'm over with this phrase of my life. Sometimes I wonder how I went wrong.
I learnt from some gossips in the house that their master just arrived at the airport. I don't even know whether to be happy, worried or sad 😔. Maybe I should be angry 😡.
"Young master is in,Ma'am. " That was my PM,her name-Adutwumah. I've always thought it was a lovely name especially with such a figure she carries. "OK, you may excuse me" I said but she stood still without blinking. I thought maybe she'd seen something I couldn't. Turns out she had more to say.
