Tales of Tiana

Chapter two

In the midnight

I kept replaying what happened after dinner

Daddy, when I'm going to university?

Then I saw the sad look on my dad. My baby I'm so sorry you won't be going to Bowen University again

What!! You were the one who told me to choose the university

I can't afford the fees. I didn't want to tell you I lost my job last year. And I have applied to different jobs application but I didn't get a job. You should know nobody could ever tell it was going to happen but it is best we face reality.

Your mum and I have decided that it's best you to a federal university we can afford. Moreover you will have other expenses in school and you will need money so you will be comfortable in school.

I went numb instantly. I just went to my room and started crying. I kept asking myself questions why me, why does it have to happen, I never planed for this to happen. I kept asking myself questions till I feel asleep.

I woke up with a loud noise . Then I heard my parents shout "Christiana open this door now". I just have to answer my parent because my parents are drama queens.

I opened the door and my dad started shouting "What is wrong with you? Why didn't you open the door for your mum? She has been at your door for more than 30 minutes and you didn't even answer her. Let this be the last time you will ever lock this door(here he goes again mtcheeww.. In my mind o). Then he left the room. My mum started her own "Why didn't you open the door for me henn. Is it because of what we told you yesterday. I had to cut her short mummmy I need to pee. I will see you downstairs. I am not in for early drama this morning .

I played my oasis since the song usually calm me down. I went to the bathroom to clean myself up. After dressing up I went to the kitchen. My mum had prepared breakfast so I was about eating my food when my mum said "I totally understand what you are going through but you need to know we can't do what is beyond our capacity. And you have always talked about going to federal universities, so why are you changing your mind now. Mum I need space okay. And I am not angry.
