Sure, let me just take… I mean right now he yelled which frightened the little girl. Sure let go, I walked slowly behind him feeling that I had done something wrong, he noticed how slow I was walking, he held my wrist and pushed me in. What was that he asked when we got into his office?
What was what? You tell her you are her mother, he said , getting irritated. You didn’t say anything when she asked so I thought… you thought what? That I would marry you and make you her mother uh, you think you deserve to be her mother or even my wife, you seem to forget what you are doing in my house, all this is signed but that doesn’t give you the right to tell my daughter to call you mother he said through gritted teeth squeezing my hand tight. Stop, you are hurting me, he quickly let go of my hand.
I don’t know what your problem is but don’t you ever talk to me like that again, you also forget that you actually need
Doctor, what is wrong with him? Is he okay, what happened? It was nothing serious, your brother just wanted to see you, why didn’t you say that, I did. No, you said “emergency” oh did I, he scratched his head, sorry, made a mistake. Look here young man, you made her very restless you know? T said to the man, he was very young though. Am sorry, it won’t happen again but your brother wants to see you. Mama, are you sick? She said getting scared, she must hate hospitals. I looked at Lucas. He looked so pale. No baby, am not sick, T, can you get them out, he looks like he might faint anytime now Tobias says, hurrying to take them both out. I want to go with mama” Isa struggled in her father’s arms. Don’t worry dear, I won’t be long, wait for me outside, I kissed her cheek while Lucas dragged them out.Finally! You came, of course I would, I thought something bad had happened to you, I kissed his head, am ok
She needs to go to school Lucas, you can’t keep her in, she needs to associate with people her age. She has to stay at home, what did I achieve going to school? You did achieve something, I mean look how well I turned out, if you had been homeschooled, you would have been worse, you say it as if it is a bad thing to be homeschooled. It is not a bad thing but I know your daughter won’t like to stay at home when she can go to school and learn and make friends, instead of staying at home all day watching Disney. Did she tell you she wants to go to school? I do want to go to school daddy, Isa came out of her hiding place with Tobias.Let’s the kid go to school dude, where did you come from and what are you doing in my office? We were playing hide and seek. What are you, six? Well, I do love having fun, something that you refuse to do with your child. Maybe I can just adopt her and take her home with me. You have no home, you are always here,
~Few Days Later~You need to stop avoiding me, you know, I am not. I should be the one offended, you did slap me remember? I need your help okay. Since when do you need my help? Very funny Lucas. She won't talk to me, she has every right to be angry. I know that now, how do I make it up to her. Well, first try setting up that school I sent to you. What school? You did not check your mail, have not really checked it, been worried about her, what? What? Why are you looking at me like that? What do you mean? You are doing that face thing, what face thing, the judging face thing. I don’t do that, of course you do, I do not, I don’t really want to argue with you right now, what about the boarding school it will be good for her, she doesn’t want to go to boarding school, why can’t you do what she wants, she is too little to know what she want, who told you that? If you send her there you will regret it for the rest of your life.He
So? “mama, papa said he loves me” he did? Yes, she giggled, I told you your father loves you so no more crying you need to get ready for school. We need to buy you new shoes, bags, lots of stuff, and am gonna need your card to purchase all the stuff she needs, I said looking at Lucas. Fine, whatever you need, it is not for me, it is for your child, I mean our child, so give me your card and let me get to work, tomorrow we can go check the school I mentioned, don’t push it Arya, just take the card and get what she needs.Am so excited, you are starting school today, all through the weekend we went shopping, got almost everything we needed, I allowed Lucas to take care of the admission process but he didn’t, he instead told his secretary to do his job for him, “am happy too mama, just a little bit nervous” oh don’t be, you’ll do just fine and if anyone bullies you, punch them in the face Tobias ad
I heard a glass shatter, I looked and saw Tobias had his mouth opened, just as shocked as I was, didn’t I hear that right you want to go out with me, like a date? I asked, yes, like a date. Why? I questioned getting suspicious, my ear was pounding so loud, what do I say? I just nodded my head. Is that a yes? He asked, I nodded again smiling. After I dropped Isa at school I went straight to work. Tobias and Irene kept watching me and whispering at each other. I didn’t care. I was just so happy. During break Irene approached me. What got you all smiley, I rolled my eyes “like you don’t know already” she sighs, can we talk? Sure what is it? Is it Lucas again, did he prank you? no is not that, he did prank me but it was nothing serious, this is actually about you, me? Yes, what’s the matter? I heard you are going on a date with Lucas, yeah I am so excited, I saw Tobias had a worried face on, wha…what is it?
Good think it Saturday, the week went by so fast, “mama where are we going?” I heard my daughter ask, “oh, we are going shopping sweetie” and my friend wanted to see you. It was a girl's shopping day. She looked at me and clapped her hands in excitement. Irene met us at the mall, I told you to avoid him, I tried but he gave me his card, he thought I didn’t have any clothes to wear and why did you bring Tobias with you? he wanted to come even though I sneaked out, I followed you, and you are very ba at sneaking Tobias answered back. What are you doing here T, I wanted to join you girls and I know there is a lot of gossip to share when it you girls, uncle T it for girls only she looked at him and then huffed, which got me smiling, you head the little girl, it for girls only, am not little mama, oops sorry my big girl. I want to be here, you can’t send me out he whined and stomped his foot like a child which made Isa to giggle, “m
I stayed home, not going to work, we watched Disney movies that Isa picked, Tobias made sure Lucas was okay, I tried to see him but he refused not wanting his daughter or I to see him like this, later I saw him all dressed wearing a blue shirt and was pitting on his suit jacket he looked so handsome, I stood there watching him, then I remembered I was naked, I only had a towel wrap around me and he was standing just beside the bed where my dress was, Isa had spilled her food on me and I was feeling sweaty, so I went in for a quick shower but what was he doing in my room, I turned to go back into the bathroom but I heard Isa’s voice “Daddy, mama is here she pointed her finger toward my direction and Lucas turned to look at me < uhm Arya-“ he didn’t complete the sentence when he saw me with only a towel, his eyes ran up and down making me blush harder, I looked down feeling embarrassed, I heard him clear his throat and looked back at Isa, I cam
Family? Am I part of the family, I went back to my room, laid on my bed thinking about being part of the family, I don’t know when I slept off but I woke up when I felt warmth on my face, I opened my eyes I saw it was sunrays, I checked my time, goodness I overslept again, after dragging myself to the bathroom, I freshen up, I have nothing doing today other than spending my time watching film with Isa until I remembered the date, which made me blush because he said it was a family day, shaking all the negative thought off, I went downstairs only to meet with silence, where was everyone, not until I heard Isa screaming Elsa that I ran to the small theatre that was in the house that I never knew about, not until he showed us last week when we kept singing and disturbing him in the sitting room.I shook my head, went to the kitchen and made breakfast for myself, then I heard Isa little feet coming closer “mama, you are up,”
