Chapter 24
At a far distance, I saw a young Lady with her phone in her hands busy recording everything that was happening.
She wore a black jacket that covered her through to the legs. She coveted her face with a black scarf and had black sunglasses on her eyes leaving her sharp nose alone to the visible.
She nearly recorded everything that happened to me and she then took off the scarf from her face and quickly moved towards me. She struggled to wake me up and bring me back to my senses although she had several failing attempts, she then quickly held me by the side of her shoulder, moved, and dragged me slowly even as my legs scratched against the ground she pulled me towards my car.
"You are here and I have given you a lot of privileges. Owning the company, being my wife, and also a mother to my daughters. Therefore you should be very careful here. My daughter Jessica has a dream, she needs to publish one of her works to the world.
She has always dreamed of publishing a novel to express her thoughts to the world. Therefore I would wish even before my days in this world lapse, that at least I would have helped her fulfill the dream" For a long time, I heard Father talk about something I had said to him long ago.
He sat at a far dinner table discussing with his new wife Vicky, who sat on the opposite seat to him. She held her phone and she was busy scrolling through its phone, and she chewed something between her teeth, like an old cow under the graze, Ever since my mother decided to move out of this house, things were completely close to hell, my sister decided to follow mother and I decided to move out and rent an apartment, it was t easy to meet the dramas of our father. he could his exchange these lads at pleasure, and now he has decided to bring one bad.
Of my age, not just my age but someone we shared some memories with in college. I had just decided to move back home, because of the threats from the witches and now I came to meet another hell of a person. She wore a short night dress, and and as she sat, she had her right leg on top of her left leg, squeezing her legs together, and close to the table.
Her eyes were wide, although she was unpredictable about what she was about to say. Father knew and predicted what she murmured. "Publish works?" She said softly her voice could not come out of her mouth.
She raised her eyebrows further and looked at Father who was busy piercing an orange that he held between his fingers.
He noticed that Vicky murmured something and immediately, he stopped chopping the orange and raised his face to her. "You said something?" He asked as he dropped the knife on the table and walked towards Vicky. "No...no...no! Nothing at all, I am just surprised that she has something beautiful, and yes sure! I would wish to support her fully, just as her mother could do if she could be here" Vicky quickly responded as she held her phone tight, flipping it upside down and covering it to sleep she laid it on the table, raişed quickly from where she sat, and moved to meet him.
He stood for a while, freezing for a moment and staring at her at a distance of just a meter, they stared at each other as if the distance between them was so huge and they could not meet, no one moved towards the other.
Beur raised his face, turned his neck, and stretched his hands, he held his breath and immediately had a
deep breath as he turned back towards his seat.
"Yeah you should support her with all you can, I am now at rest as I will be staying at home now henceforth. No work to do as you two are here. I will ensure that she also gets married as soon as I can, that he is a good man, and out there maybe she will be able to get more help than I am giving in here.
I would wish her to get out of my eyes soon so that we can enjoy our days" He said, softening his voice and piercing through the orange as he dropped a piece between to his mouth. Yes sure, I agree, she should go and get married too I guess at this point we need more privacy than you can imagine hubby!" Vicky added as she held her breath, stretching her short dress towards her knees. She held a fake smile on her face even as she sighed and giggled at him.
I Suddenly opened the door at a small angle and entered, my hair was shaggy and disoriented from its natural position. I held my purse between my left arm. I entered Swaying from left to right, I wasn't stable, and as I struggled to walk towards my old room upstairs, I had to support myself against the stairs and slowly moved towards the room.
"Wait! Wait! Why are you like this at this hour? And where are you coming from? Since yesterday I haven't seen you around. Where did you spend your night? I mean and the whole day too?" He raised his voice towards me carelessly as he stood walking through to cut my steps. He held my left hand and Supported me to the room.
I could not say a word as I walked by his support towards the far-up room, I could still see Vicky scroll over her phone as she raised her eyes to meet mine. She couldn't stop chewing, as if she was the real house goat.
My thoughts were on her, I wished that the witches could've Come for her instead.
