The Testament
It's been three weeks since my father passed aways and today we will be reading his will.
I'm an only child , my mother passed away shortly after i was born , i never knew my grandparents and nor do i have aunts or uncles let's put it this way my father was the only family we had.
"Lelah ?" Said a woman from behind me
"Pardon me Ms Claira i was just..."i said when she interrupted me ,
"I know sweetie , you're thinking about the will and why everyone had to come when your father had only you to rely on"she said in a high pitched voice. How would she know what i was thinking that darn old lady keeps getting on my nerves , it's like she follows me where ever i go , she isn't even part of my family she's just our neighbor but acts like i owe her something , she's all up in my business. I can't help but wonder if she wanted my dad or something in that line , anyway.
As we were all seated , by all i mean my father's childhood friend , the annoying Ms Claira , the lawyer and myself we waited for the lawyer to start the reding .
"To my life long pal i leave one million dollars, with this amount i repay you for all the times you had my back and all the times you took care of my little angel when i had business, always in your heart Rider Jack " as she started reading the will i saw how Uncle Murray's eyes teared up and with the final words he broke letting out all the hurt and sadness i held him for a while till he breathed normally again.
She continued reading the will
"Dearest Claira , to you i leave all the things my princess can't carry with her as well as the duty of taking care of Bella all the peaches from Stanley"
I couldn't help but laugh when i heard she had the duty of taking care of my father's big fat bitchy cat , i swear if he had left it to me i'd wake him from the dead Bella is a real f*****g demon if you ask me. I got the look from "peaches" as she asked the lawyer to continue.
"To my sweet little Rose bud , i know how much you love the farm , but it's time to let go , i wish for you to sell the farm as is with the animals , the outcome will be exactly $45 million i have arranged with an old friend to help you with the sell and there after i wish for you to move to Manhattan and follow your dreams , i have also left you a savings account with the amount of $60 million , please take good care , go out and have fun , be young and always remember a sunflower always follows the sun , i love you more than all the flowers in the world , your daddy do"
I fell onto the couch right next to me , i can never sell the farm , this is my home , what was he thinking , he knows this is where i belong i need nothing more. And if i do sell that leaves me with $105 million what will i do with all that money i mean I'd practically be a millionaire and i won't need to work but I can't sit around looking pretty . I won't sell . I just Can't.
I started considering to sell the farm it was my father's last wish , but it feels wrong. But i did it , my girlfriends came over a few weeks later to help me clear out and after that we were heading to the city of the rich .
