A Continuous Story: “THE STORY OF MY LIFE” Ep #7

While I was on the call with Peter, I looked behind and realised that Dad didn’t leave! He was close enough to hear what we were talking. Thank God Peter didn’t say something strange, he was checking on me and making sure that I have reached home safe, I was happy to have someone caring about my well being, it was a very good feeling that I didn’t felt before and I tried to hide it so that my Dad won’t be suspicious. After hanging the call my dad asked me how is peter and the reason for calling me just the next day we left the school! I tried to explain to him and good that he was convinced.

My holidays were going on well, I enjoyed staying with my family soo well, the only thing I didn’t enjoy was how my mom used to make us do all the chaos at home…..We(me and my young sis) couldn’t watch our favourite series on TV unless we have finished all the duties we were assigned to. After all we didn’t wish to see mom do all the works alone without helping her but we were wondering why she couldn’t find a maid who can help her atleast that time even us we could enjoy our holidays soo well! The only answer that our mom could give us was that there are no many works at home and that we are good enough to finish them…African Moms!!

For soo long my mom didn’t ask me about that letter that she found in my room, I was wondering if she has really forgotten about it but I remembered that my mom doesn’t forget that easily!…especially about that particular case which was the first time she found that a boy wrote a letter to me! I wasn’t wrong, just few days later she told me that we should talk in the evening and exactly I knew what she wanted to talk about! In the evening She came in my room and sat on my bed. She asked me if I am enjoying my holidays and I told her yes definitely….

Mom: Mary I love you soo much, you are my first baby that I laid my eyes on that’s why I don’t want to see anything which can hurt you or make you feel bad. Please right now as we start talking don’t see me as your mom, see me as if you are talking to you bestfriend, okey?

Me: okey mom! (I know where that was going to!)

Mom: Sweetheart, I want you to tell me all about that letter I found on your table, are you in love with Peter?

Me: Yes

Mom: How and when?

Me: Just from the day before we come for holidays

Mom: Why you didn’t tell me?

Me: I was afraid that you will think me in a bad way……and.. I was just afraid mom

Mom: Mary I am very disappointed that you think me in that way. I always want you to be free and tell me a everything, I know Peter is a good boy but I can not stop to worry about you…I know you are becoming mature but you are still my baby. After finding out about that letter I did my own investigation and called Peter. I wanted to make sure that nothing bad will happen to you. He told me that he doesn’t wish anything bad to you and that he really loves you. Mary, I don’t think your father will be happy if he finds out about this but I promise that I will keep it as a secret. But promise me that from today you will tell me every about you and Peter..

Me: I promise mom, thank you soo much (I hugged her soo tight), I was worried about my dad but atleast for mom she understood me, she was my bestfriend….. BUT AGAIN..WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY DAD FINDS OUT ABPOUT ME AND PETER?
