61-Goodbyes

I stood behind the double glass doors with my hands folded and watched the rain fall. It was right after breakfast. I was still in my pyjamas and gown. I mean, why look good when you won’t be going anywhere? I just combed my hair back, didn’t even tie it up or anything. I watched the rain pour and pour. It felt therapeutic, made me feel calmer. I don’t know how long I stood there but when my room door opened, I was brought back to the room. Standing alone, staring out at the rain like some psycho.Probably one of the maids, coming to do my bed or clean the room. I heard her footsteps enter the room and lock the door. The footsteps got closer. Someone wrapped their arms around tightly. It was Yoké. I could feel him and smell him. I smiled as he put the side of his face against mine. We were both now staring out at the balcony.“What are you doing?” He asked me.“Nice view, right?” I asked him.“On a mountain it would have looked more beautiful.”I looked at him and smiled. He smiled bac

62-Extra pair of ears

“Alice?” I got up and closed my laptop, placing it on the bed. “Why are you crying?”She just stood her ground, looking at me and crying. Her beautiful face all swollen and red from crying.“Is everything okay?” I asked her walking towards her slowly.“Is everything okay?” She repeated. She then shook her head. “No.”My heart fell, too heavy for me to handle. What happened to her?She ran towards me and hugged me, crying even louder.“Alice what’s wrong?” I asked her, hugging her back tightly.“Dan broke up with me…”“What?” I asked trying to see her face, but she wouldn’t let go of me. “He… He broke up with you?”How could Yoké…“Yes, he broke up with me.”“But why? Why would he do that?” I was asking more to myself. That wasn’t part of the plan. Alice crying and all, this was not part of the plan at all.“He said that he has to go back to his native country so we can’t continue being together.” She told me.“Okay, sit down.” I made her sit down on the couch and I sat down next to her

63-Anxs

After cancelling the tickets I bought to buy new ones for tonight, it was now waiting time. Waiting until 10pm to leave the house to meet up with Yoké at the bus station. So, the plan is that Francis will help me leave the house. If we manage to leave the house, we’ll go straight to the bus station where Yoké would be waiting for me. Then I will take the bus with Yoké, and he’ll return how and make up whichever story will sound believable to mom and dad. Yoké and I would be out of the state in the next 4-5 hours and then we’d take a taxi to another town from there so that dad and mom would have no way of tracing us. Smart right?But the wait. The waiting felt like death. I couldn’t stop tapping my foot in anxiety, under the dining table. And the guilt? Sitting around the dining table with my family for dinner knowing that it would be the last time we’d get this opportunity again…I couldn’t stare at my mom for long, without feeling like crying. I’ll miss her so much. Her constant criti

64-Morning drama

“Okay, you have to get yourself together now, we are close.” Francis told me, his voice a bit calm now. “You can’t go back looking like our grandmother just died.”I was still sobbing; I wiped my face with my hands but that only did half the job my face and hands still felt wet.“I hope they are all sleeping already.” Francis told me. “Wipe your face properly.”I tried again.“Okay, do I have any…” Francis began searching in his glove compartment. He closed it. “No, I don’t have any tissues. We can go back to the nearest pharmacy and buy tissues.”I didn’t say anything, just supported my head with one hand and continued thinking about everything Yoké said to me.“If we go to the pharmacy, it will just look weird. We can’t go to the pharmacy at this hour. What am I saying, we can’t go to the pharmacy at all. What to do now?”Francis stared at me for a while and then parked on the side of the road, a few feet from the mansion.“Alright, get out. You need to cool down. We both do.” He sai

65-Secrets scream

After a brief knock on my door, it opened.“It’s seven o’clock.” Anna told me.“So?” I asked her, looking up from my phone.“Breakfast is at 6.45. Your family is waiting downstairs.”“I’m not hungry, thank you.”“Your father insisted that you both come down for breakfast.”“Who is ‘you both’?” I asked her.“Alice doesn’t want to come down too.” Anna told me.“Genesis come down to the kitchen now!” Dad’s voice sounded strict on the intercom.Anna went to press the receive button. “She doesn’t want to come downstairs, Raphael.”I through her a deadly look. I was in no mood for this right now.“I thought I told you to address my husband with courtesy.” I heard mom’s voice. Anna grimaced. “I will not let you little nothings continue trying to destroy what I’ve worked so hard for.”“Sorry.” She responded, not looking or sounding sorry at all.“Genesis, come down here now before I come get you myself.” Dad told me.I rolled my eyes and left the room, bumping into Anna as I walked out of the

66-Part clear

“If we don’t talk this out, no one is leaving this kitchen.” Dad said going to lock the door and taking the big black key out of the keyhole of the kitchen door. “No one is going to work, to school, nowhere.”“We were already not allowed to go out.” Alice told dad. “You forgot that you kept us all on lockdown?”“Always exaggerating…”“At least, someone in this family is always speaking up, being honest. Appreciate that- Wait I just forgot, I don’t even belong to this family.”“Alice, sit… down.” Dad looked angry.“What happens if I don’t? Are you gonna send me to my new mother?”“If we don’t talk this out nobody is going anywhere.” Dad spoke. “It’s up to you all how long you want to stay in this kitchen.”Dad placed the key in his pocket, folded his arms and leaned against the wall.Mom sat down slowly on her chair. I sat down too. Francis was leaning against the kitchen sink, he still looked mad. Alice went to stand at the kitchen doors, her arms folded, looking at dad.“I want you al

67-At the table

“I need some water.” Mom said trying to get up.“I’ll get it.” Francis told mom, getting up and going to the sink. We sat quietly, waiting for Francis to finish. The sound of the water rushing out of the tap was so loud in this silent large kitchen.Well, until Alice broke the silence. “I have a question. What will Francis be calling you now?”She was asking mom.“We’ll talk about that later.” Dad cut in.Francis placed the glass of water in front of mom and sat back down. Mom only took a sip of the water and then placed the glass back on the table. We sat waiting for mom to start talking.“You know what your dad said about forgiveness?” Mom started. “Marriage is all about forgiveness. I’ve forgiven your father a lot of times, for various reasons, like he mentioned. One of those reason’s was Delilah. She used to work here for us, right in this mansion. She used to cook, clean, laundry, use to rotate with the other workers. Delilah was one of the youngest girls working here at that time

68-15 seconds

Dad looked at mom and then Francis. He then looked at me. For a few seconds. I thought he was about to ignore Francis and start asking about Yoké again, but he didn’t.“A mother is a mother.” He said and then turned to Francis. “It’s your right. But you’re a smart man: you know how highly I value our reputation. You know how much of a role it plays in our company, for our contracts, in getting and keeping clients. You know very well.“So, I know you know what that means: same applies to you like I told Gen and Alice, as long as the world outside doesn’t know. These servants signed a very serious confidentiality contract, they know if they just as much as say our name to other people, they’ll be in very serious trouble. The only ones that have the ball in this are you guys, the children of this family. Your mom and I would never. We’ve plus minus 26 years of practice.”Francis nodded.“You can leave.” Dad told him.I quickly dialled my office’s number. “Oh look, the office, got to take

69-Black

Did Omar not hear a word I said? I clearly told him that I’m not allowed to leave the house. He wants me to leave now? Does he know what the time is? It’s two in the morning. How the hell am I supposed to leave this place at two in the morning. Morning jog? At two? No one will fall for that. And dad is home, sleeping downstairs.My phone began ringing. I quickly answered. “Omar, I can’t leave the mansion, I swear.” I told him. “I forgot to tell you to leave your phone at home when you come and delete my last message.” “Why shouldn’t I bring my phone?” I asked him. “Just do what I said. I’ll see you soon.” “Omar you need to tell me what’s going on with you and Yoké-” He hung up before I could even finish. I pressed the area between my eyes and pinched

70-Message

The closest hospital on the GPS was so far from where I had met Omar. It was killing me seeing Omar lye so helplessly in the backseat while I couldn’t get him to the hospital fast enough. It killed me to keep thinking of the possibility of us arriving too late at the hospital. I was shaking my head. I’d never ever be able to forgive myself.I glanced at Omar and saw his eyes close.“Hey, hey, hey!” I was telling him. “Omar wake up. Don’t you die on me, Omar, don’t you dare die on me.”He opened his eyes to look at me but only half-way.“I want you to try harder.” I told him. “Open your eyes. You are strong enough. Look, look, Omar, there’s the hospital in front. We are almost there. Don’t you close your eyes.”As soon as I drove through the gates I began honking.“I need help! I need help!” I was calling out the window as I drove to the entrance. “He’s been Shot!”When I got t
