I wokeup from the bed, I felt a sharp pain on my head, and my head was hot I think I have headache I woke up late I turn my head she swiftly the left and right I got up and and straighten my body I wore my slippers and walked up to the door I decided to go see my mum in the kitchen do it before taking drugs I used the stairway leading to the kitchen and the sitting room, I had to use the sitting room way to glance at my father's friend because I heard their noise I went to the sitting room door the peep at his friend. I saw Mr Dickson and three fair hand some men sitting close to my father I was wondering what brought them so I decided so ask my mum I couldn't stress myself to peep and try and listen to their discussion because my head ache increased so I left to the kitchen.
in the kitchen mum was still cooking she looked sad the movement of hands while stirring the food in the cooking pot shows how sad she was I stood there at the door staring at her.
"good morning mum ,I'm hungry" I said she turned and stared at me she then asked me my
" how old are you" mum asks me I was shocked mum don't know my years.
" I'm 20 years mum" I told her
" ok" she turned back and continue cooking I decided to ask her
" mum I saw Mr Dickson with three young men what is their reason for coming " I asked still doubting if she will give me a reasonable answer in her sad mood . she turned and looked at me when Victoria came in to call me to the sitting room I left immediately, when I got to sitting room, I met my dad my sisters mr Dickson and his sons. I was still wondering why we were called my dad stood up to address US.
" good morning my children your mother is busy if not should have been here with us so you all know Mr Dickson these are his children, the reason why I called you girls this morning is to tell you that as a responsible parents that I am I have chosen your husband's for you girls" dad paused and looked at us he then continue.
" I have always wanted the best for you my daughters the men you see a well-to-do they will take good care of you. Mr d**k son is my best friend and I want the relationship to prolong with you guys" I interrupted dad.
