As soon as I said that, Corey immediately laughed.He giggled to the extent I thought I had said something stupid."Did I say anything stupid,?".I pulled away from him. Creating space between us.He nods."No, on the contrary, you didn't,".He rose from his chair and walked to me."Muna, I will loan you the money, but,?".He said but suddenly hesitated.I looked anxious and asked."But what,?". I glare as his eyes watered around my body, it hits my gaze."I'd want you to do something in return for me, I'll loan you the money but you'll promise to get married to me,".He tells.He walks back to his chair, facing me.I should have suspected that Corey wouldn't want to help me without needing something in return.......Marriage?.How would I get married to him?...."No! I don't want you to get married to you Corey, please,". I hurried to his table, I put my hand against it, n said."Help me save my mom and I promise to pay back everything I've loaned,".Corey shook his head disappointed
I came back to meet dad at the hall.He was seated with his hands pressed on both his cheeks..I walked closer to him and said."Dad, are you okay,?".He looks up and said."Yes, I'm fine dear, but tell me, did the doctor tell you anything,?"...He questioned. He leaned his hand close to mine and rests on mine. I smiled and said."No Dad, the doctor didn't tell me anything,". Dad nods.He takes a way his hand when Sara walks in our midst.I turned to her."Hey! What are you doing here,?".I said. I was surprised to her.She looks at dad before facing me."Are you seriously asking me that,?".She walked a step closer to me "Why didn't you tell me what happened to your mom,?"..She frowned.....Dad walks away. He lefts us to talk.However the second he left, a hand grabbed unto mine, I turned hitting my gaze on Corey's face.He smiled and said ."Muna, you left in a hurry without informing me about your whereabouts,".I vexed."I'm sorry, have you lost it,".. In a state of anger, I
I heard Corey say that. Dad got so angry at him, he raised his hand like he wanted to hit him.But he stopped, only because I grabbed hastily to his hand and pulled him a few distances away from Corey. "Dad, what were you trying to do,?".I said, reprimanding him.I thought doing that might get the issue to subside, however nothing of the sort happened, and it escalated, the second Corey walks between us and dragged my hand."Come with me Muna,". He ordered me, dragging me away.I looked at dad. He was so furious.I couldn't let him anger himself the more, I faced Corey, and slap his hands away.Courageously staring into his eyes."Go away from here Corey,".I earned him a warning.Corey's eyes depreciate for a while but corning back to me."Excuse me, did you just ask me to leave,?". He said. He acted surprised.Dad walks behind me.I felt his presence standing at my back.I turned to Corey."Yes, get out of here,". I said."Seriously, is this how much you repay me for my good gest
Although the day, school seemed irritating to me.As I got home, I met both my parents talking with each other, whispering, to be honest."Hey! What's going on,?"I said as I walked to them, seated on the couch.They were both looking strangely at each other, strange enough to give me the hint that something was wrong, or perhaps something happened...I look at dads guilty face and said."Can you please tell me what happened, ?".Dad takes his head away from me, faces me, and said. " Nothing happened dear, never mind,".With was a lie.As he hastily left mom on the sofa, he navigated towards the kitchen door, and I followed him."Dad! What happened,?". I was just in time as I held back his hands, from getting close to the fridge...Again dads eyes were depleted.As I waited for at least a response, mom walks in and spoke to dad."Can you please tell her honey,"? Said mom_ she rode over to dad- As dad faced her."Dear, what are you saying, I cannot possibly tell her,". He spoke ag
What's wrong with my parents?First. Corey came to school and told me the same thing.Now my parents are also repeating the same thing. Perhaps while I was in school, did Corey come to visit my parents? Did he?I went to my bedroom.Just then Sara phoned me, and I picked up."Where are you Muna?" She said on the phone.I walk to the wall clock hanging on the wall. A minute past seven in the evening."Tell me, what happened, I'm at home,?".I spoke up.Sara goes quiet for a while. She replied later and said."Muna, I need you to come with me to a friend's party, tonight,"."Why?"I said."What do you mean why, because I'm asking you, please come,". She said. She grumbled on the phone.Sara might be my best friend.But whenever she wants something done or wants you to attend somewhere with her, she's willing to pester you until you've no choice but to accept."Fine! I'll come with you,".I accepted, holding her at the other end of the call.She screamed through the phone and almost had
"You're not serious, don't you dare speak to me in such a manner and what do you mean, my parents didn't tell me,?".I confided.Corey laughed."You can ask them yourself, ". He said and pointed in a direction.I turned following his hand and right there I met my parents slowly walking out of a curtain, that was right next to the balcony.I left Corey- as I walked to question them."Mom, what are you doing here,?". I turned to dad, " tell me what is happening,".I said staring at both of my parents.Mom moved ahead, she was just about to speak, however, dad dragged her back to himself.Dad looks at her and she did too.Something is wrong?...When mom and dad hesitated to speak, Corey moved Into our midst."I can tell you,". He said. I found myself meeting his gaze."Tell me, what is happening,?". I questioned.Corey grinned."Muna, your parents have both decided to get us both married,'. He bought out his hand and pressed it against his waist."You're now going to become my wife, and
mobster husband.I walk into my home after a long day at college, and the first thing I find welcoming me was a man, holding a loaded gun to the head of my dad. Dad saw me freaked out."Hey! What's going on?". I said as I let go of my bags and ran to save him.But the man, takes his hand back, following with the gun .... "Muna, why are you here so early?".Dad went up from his knees and slinked me back to his frightened gaze. "Dear, go to your bedroom,'. Dad instructed. He pushed me in the direction of my bedroom. I looked at mom as she gave me a slight nod. I believe she also wanted me gone.I left without getting my bags, I heard no noise, no one said anything until I banged the door to my bedroom.....Immediately. The whispering began.....I couldn't hear what they were talking about. However, the fright of a gun fixed to the head of my parents again made me more troubled.I paced around my bedroom.Then suddenly, I got a luminous idea.I thought maybe I can get a glimpse
He snatched mom and yelled to her face."How dare you slap Corey, I'll make you pay,".He says, as he dragged her to the kitchen, turned on the gas cooker, and practically attempted to burn her hand with the flames.I couldn't stand there and watch that happen, I rode past my scared dad, and walked between him and my mom.He stares at me angrily. "You should learn how to respect, your elders, didn't your mom teach you that?" I said, I managed to break his grip on my mother. Mom was freaking out of uncertainty. That alone made me mad. I gently shifted mom and took her place."Come on, you wanted to burn her right, you can as well, do it to me, I dare you,"..... I said... Without fear..... Corey laughed. "you sure?, I don't do well with threats,". He said."Seriously, I should be the one telling you, or better yet, are you scared now?". I brought down my hands close to the flames of the gas cooker... ...Mom begged me to stop. Dad seconded. I looked away ignoring their words, all I
