Flashback continues

we made a promise remember, Nata he called her, she is Mrs El amar to you, you remember that papa cold voice sounded. we just watched, Joshua go back to your Family I have mine to cater for she tells him, we were only but innocent children who doesn't know what fate holds for us, as you can see I am married to Norman El amar with five children we are a happy people so leave after you are done eating with us, children go back to eating your food she order, Papa was still pissed and we could feel the chills to our bones lucky the stares, where not directed at us but a certain Mr Westford. but not a chance to win you back Nata he spoke softly, all of them could have been mine you know, suddenly the atmosphere became tense and awkward, not a chance mama shoot daggers at him irritably.

we all ate in silence yet uncomfortable. This has never befall our household, the all happy family, no teasing, no joking everyone ate in an awkward silence. Situations like had never taken place before, after breakfast we where sent off to our rooms, the adults make conversation we were not permitted to know of. The intruder mr Westford left but he left a battle between our most lovely parents, had never argued since we could acknowledge them as our parent. the only good thing was that; we ended up not going to school but the light in the peaceful home was drawn by the visit of Mama's childhood friend leaving only his darkness wolvering over us.

The next morning we heard no chattering from parent, only papa came to wake us up from bed for our morning routine, breakfast was quiet. Mama sent us to school and everything from the following one month was uneventful, it was like the love we shared as family has be turned to nothingness. After a month of absolute nothing Mama decided it was enough putting up with the cold war papa started. so, the next day breakfast was sumptuous, her cookies where only made for her children not their Father, we watched how on every meal swallow and salivate to his wife baking with nothing for him to relish the delicious aroma in his nostrils. one faithful evening the meal Mama made where Papa's favourite and his favourite dessert, but he was not permitted to have any though she made him something else to eat. But is never Papa's style we saw how a grown up man who is our Father almost cried. Mama stood her ground, for the first in a all the one month I was Noah signature smirk, and I know the next the serenity of the El amar will return to its formal glory.

truth what I fore seen. After our daily routine on that beautiful Saturday morning, the bird where chirping amazingly and you can see the trees dancing and the fountain at the centre of the town, which was adjacent to the house of the El Amar mansion you can hear its melody has it flows. The flowers were all smiling as the bloom at the sunrise. I could feel the darkness over our house hold disperse and the light held captive by the battle of cold war. Release for it freedom to soar like an eagle and rest well upon us like never before, I could see smiles on my siblings faces and smirks on Noah's, my grins never leaving me. can you all feel how peaceful and bright everywhere is asked my siblings yes they cheers and giggles, why are the flower all smiling Noah grinned, The fountain has a melody the twins cited cheerfully and the trees are greener and dancing are we in a fairytale, or could this be real Ora chipped while smiling beautifully. still observing how spectacular the Saturday was, we heard cheer and laughter with people crowding the fountain area, what is going on, we asked no one in particular. as our legs have it's own mind took us to the fountain surrounding to beyond our Papa on his kneel with flowers stretch towards Mama.

I know for the past one month I have been a jerk to you. I let my Jealousy get the better of me. I know deep down I have let you down, I have failed no only you but our beautiful children and the values we uphold as a family, I promise to be more reasonable and less aggressive. I promise not to start a cold war ever again, now I know the consequences will be daring because it will be at the expense of my favourite dish. I wouldn't dare let you and our kids down ever again this I promise you Natalie El amar please forgive the your pitiful and pathetic husband. please give him another chance. when he finished his speak every where was silent.

The melody fro the fountain sized, the trees too stopped dancing and the chipping of the birds paused. Mama walked towards him in stable and slow steps with her indifferent and cold voice with an emotionless face she said when you start cold war with me next time Norman El Amar you will not just loose those dishes but your Family and their affections. you are not allowed to infect my beautiful children with your impulsive behaviour but for this time I forgive you for the sake of our pass memories. she collected the flowers and seal the event with a sweet kiss, everywhere erupt with cheer and merriment. we release the breathe we never knew we were holding. it about time Noah shouted has our parent engulfed us in one big happy bear hug.
