TWENTY TWO~

“My Chidera. Look at you, all grown up.” Her Aunt says almost like she couldn’t believe it. Dera turns to me completely speechless. She must be in shock that she can’t even comprehend that her family is actually here.

“Dami…” She starts to say and I take in her glassy eyes like she was going to cry. “Dami…” I let her walk into my arms.

“You don’t have to say anything Love. I’m just glad I made you Happy. I’m glad got to see that Beautiful smile. So don’t cry or you’ll ruin your Make-up.”

“Dami we should start going. The guests are waiting.” Mama tells me and I nod. She rubs Dera’s back.  I wish you a long and prosperous life filled with Joy, Happiness and all things good. God bless you my daughter.”
