Grief
691 Words
At first everything was difficult I didn’t want to go to work or to the University or even leave the room that Ntina’s parents gave me... But one day I started hearing angry voices out side. “She must go out she can’t gave up like that” this is Ntina?? I have never heard her so angry before ‘Don’t shout like that Ntina she will hear you” Ntina fights with her mother but why ... “I DON’T CARE” she shout “she has gave up everything, she doesn’t go out, she doesn’t go to work or even to her university” After that l realized that they were talking about me or sould I say arguing very bad?
When I got out of the room her mother motioned for her to stop talking... “What is happening here Ntina , why are you arguing with Mrs Palatou .” OH I forgot to mention the last name of Ntina’s . But Ntina didn’t answer to me and tern again to her mother... “MOM you have to talk to her this situation has lasted a long time”
“ Why you want your mother to talk to what happened” again she didn’t answer me .. She looked her mother one last time and left.
Mrs. Palatou sat in the chair with a serious look on her face and motioned for me to sit down. “Its time for us to talk Iphigenia. It’s been a month since your mother died. You can go like that, you must start to live your life” I look at her and I don’t know what to say that’s why I stay silent. “Your mother wouldn’t want to see you like that.” Tears began to flow on my cheek “How you can know that” my question sounded like a whisper. A sad smile appeared on Mrs. Palatou face. “My sweet baby girl because I am a mother too that’s why. If the same thing happened to my Ntina I will wanted for her to go on with her life and be happy. Yes I know that she would be scared and sad but that’s life .” she stop for a while “ I will wanted for her to thing only the good staff form our life together with a smile on her face and continue living her life. That’s you must do! You thing your mother likes to see you that way or that she is calm and can rest” and like that I am starting to cry. “You are not alone Iphigenia you have me mr Palotos Ntina and Dimitre . We always be with you no matter what’s happens” “I know that I will try I promise” When I said that I saw Ntina coming she must heard the conversation because her face was full of tears. She hugged me very tightly and we started crying again together this time “Oh Ntina I am so sorry I didn’t want to upset you” “I know i knowbut I couldn’t keep seeing you like that, you are my best friend and I love you.”
And that’s how I started my life again from where I left off. The next 3 months were difficult due to my grief I had stopped attending my classes and I was left behind. But my teachers understood me and helped me a lot .The same thing happened with my job , my boss was happy to see me and of course gave me my old job back.
Now is June and I am done with my University and try to think what awaits me afterwards. Ntina and I we will start looking for a job related to our degree soon and maybe go on vacation in August.
