I was silent my sister tap me on my shoulder and ask what is wrong with me
I quickly told her nothing that I want to be left alone
She was surprised by my response and ask again if everything was fine and if Mr Philip was okay she kept on taking and talking I immediately got angry and shouted at her my mom was shock on my response to a simple question my sister asked me
I told them I want to be left alone that I have allot of things to think about and I don't want to be disturb...my mom instructed my sist to leave the room and they both left..
I angrily looked the door and started thinking about everything that happened ..Mr Philips was still calling me non stop...I switched off my phone I opened my drawer and took some sleeping pills to be able to sleep I need to sleep up all this drama that took place between me and Philips I said to myself...
Few hours later I had a knock on my door
Who is it this time I answered.. madam open the door now my mom instructed..I told her am not in the mood to talk ,she insisted that she won't leave until I opened the door..I obeyed and let her in.. she sat down and asked me what is going on why am I bent on not taking to any one..I told her nothing is wrong that I am perfectly fine.. she looked at me and said to me,,, my baby girl I am your mom if anything is bothering you I should be the first person you tell baby she called me I felt shy and told her to stop calling me baby... she smiled and looked at me and said to me that even if I am married with kids I will still be her baby..I smiled and looked at her I said mom believe me nothing is wrong trust me.. but deep down in me I knew I was not okay..my mind was telling me to let it all out to my mom.. she said okay if I don't want to talk about it she won't force me..I told her that she shouldn't worry that I am an adult and I can control some certain things myself she laughed and worked out of my room telling me to come out and eat something that I haven't eaten anything since..I said okay Mom am behind you.. she said now..I replied and said okay....
I quickly stood up and went straight to the dinning table to get something to eat...as I was about eating I heard my mom's phone ringing she picked up and said hi Mr Philips.. immediately I heard my Mom calling me Philips name I accidentally drop the glass of water I was holding on the floor.. my mom was shocked and gave me a sign without talking to avoid her been distracted on the phone.. what is it she said using her hands...I said am sorry I quickly picked up the scattered glasses from the ground and cleaned up the water on the floor.. I went into the kitchen and was hiss dropping on her conversation with mr Philips...
Oh she is fine my mom said..I knew he was asking about my sister... she is in the kitchen I knew it was me he asked about secondly...
After my mom ended the call she said Mr Philips is coming over to the house tomorrow that he wants to make an announcement... immediately my sister heard announcement she quickly rushed to were my mom was sitting and said mom it obviously means he wants to ask for your approval to marry me...my mom said nah she doesn't think so maybe it something else and if he wants to ask for approval my dad is at work so it won't be possible until my dad comes back.. I already knew mr Philips was going to tell my mom about his feelings for me..I pretended as if I don't know anything that was going on I told my sister that we should not assume until he comes first.My sister was very excited about the news she was so happy and told me to help her choose some clothes she wants to wear..I insisted and followed her to the room.. she started singing a song titled I am going to be a bride soon..I laughed and told her she is funny for singing such songs she noticed I was not too happy she pushed and asked me what is wrong you feel sad aren't you happy for me she said. I replied and said no am extremely happy for you my dear sister.

I was still ansious about what Mr Philips told me I know the incident might bring issue between me and my sister..
The next next day my sister woke up very early to get ready she went into the bathroom very early what she has never done before..I pretended as if I was sleeping but my sister woke me up.. please do and get up jor she said.. today is my happiest day you should be helping me out with my hair and nails na...
I told her to calm down that we don't even know if he just want to come and tell us he is going back to the States or something entirely different... stop saying those kind of words be optimistic she said to me I replied and told her sorry...we heard a knock at the door it was my mom we opened and she was amazed by what was going on in our room. What's all this what's the occasion why is everything scattered as if we are about to host a beauty contents in this house... nothing mom my sister replied am just getting ready for my husband.. and I act chiamaka to assist me with my clothes.. which husband my mom asked..Mr Philips of course my mom laughed and asked us both to come down stairs for breakfast..I quickly rushed out ..I really don't want to assist my sister with anything because of what I already knew and I still can't tell her either because she might get the wrong idea about me.
