Sweet Dreams, Amandla

She stared at the broken fountain that settled in the corner outside, near a small storage house that only takes ten steps to get there—starting at the fountain’s point. In her sight, birds were flying, and steady trees without any wind were like city buildings. Over twenty-two years, Amandla had never seen what a city looks like and how people do things there. She was living peacefully, happily with her mother in the forest. Her dreams were anywhere in the city, but no one else could guide the house if she went together with her mother. She took a few steps forward and pressed her forehead against the cold glass from the window; she sighed. Even at three in the afternoon, the birds were still hunting for worms, and the wind finally started its job. All-day long, alone...her footsteps were the only noise inside the house. This was how she lived—you would probably feel free with all the other things if you get fed up in the city life, but there are limits on what being free was—that wa

Finally, she reached a hand out to grab one book, ‘Stitch.’ As she was about to begin flipping a page, Aviana’s jaw slightly dropped.“Wait, when did you have that kind of book?”Amandla look

Misses Holly lifted up an empty pot and she finds the knife she was looking for, while Amandla shakes her head, “Boyfriend? Seriously mother, you know that topic is not a place for me to be attentive”, Amandla recapped an awareness at her mother. “But Mint, you will be happy if you have someone to love and be loved,” And Amandla continued her chores with the thought of having a boyfriend, Aviana, and Misses Holly really dared to press a button in trying to see what she was missing in life huh? It cannot be that tomorrow Aviana will be coming back with another batch of Billionaires and her mother will come back with a man who wants to have a time with her and become lovers—that would be a mess, hoping that it would not be happening in reality. The world will crumble and the sea will rise if one of the two options in her head will happen. “It will happen Amandla, you are going to be a mother in the future. You cannot always avoid some things that are bound to really occur.” Misses Holl
