Engagement Party

Mr. Ben Misery.

'How do I manage to get to know this guy on my 18th birthday, that is irresistible to someone of my kind? He's so handsome.' Amira thought in her head while washing the dishes in the kitchen waiting for Sara to finish eating while Sara was in the living room watching television at the same time.

Amira has no right to serve herself food, not even after cooking. The leftover was her, that is if they would be kind enough to give her food at the moment to free her hungry stomach. But Sara always waits until late evening before giving her food.

Because she has to eat once daily and that's late evening. Though, she has gotten used to it, and she's always happy eating the leftover when washing the dishes.

Her stomach was aching so unbearable, as the cent of the meal she had prepared invaded her nose, but she'd has no right to serve herself. Anything that prompts her to do so, she will be pushed out to the street, and Amira gats nowhere to go. So she has no choice but to wait until late evening before having any hope of eating while her stomach bites so painfully.

"Where is that useless child of mine." A reverberating roar from her father landed on Amira while in a deep slumber after waiting for Sara her stepmom to give her food. She quickly got up off from her warm mattress and ran to meet up with him.

"Take this money and quickly buy me a Sandwich" He said abruptly. Amira startle in her dull voice as it was late at the time. She had no choice, and she quickly collect the money and ran to cash up.

Mr. Ben kept fuming like a lunatic. Even after he'd sent his daughter away, almost in the middle of the night. Not caring about the fact it was about to rain judging from the thunder that was rumbling accompanied by thunder strike. All he cared about was teaching that unfortunate child of his a lesson.

Sara Amira's stepmother was indeed pleased to see Amira going through true pain. And she was happy after learning her husband had grown more hatred for his daughter.

Just in a fraction of a second. Sara heard a cry in her husband's room, and she approached their bedroom while Mr. Ben was inside sobbing.

She chuckled in amusement thinking the other way round, and she quickly walk down the stairs that lead to their bedroom.

On getting to their bedroom Sara was shocked, sickened, disgusted, and surprised to the core. She stood like a statue with her mouth wide open to the brim as she watched her husband sobbing with eyes open wide.

Mr. Ben was staring at his late wife's dead picture, Amira's mother. While sobbing bitterly not knowing Sara was behind as he moan his late wife. He seemed so lost to realize that Sara was standing behind him and all he could see at the moment was the picture of the most beautiful woman he has ever loved or had really craved for.

"Why did you have to go? Why did you have to do this to me? Why did you have to die because of that useless child? Please, come back to me, my love. I don't need a child. We'd just live together happily. Just the two of us forever. I thought you promised never to leave? Why did you break your promises and leave me in pain???"

Mr. Ben continue to wail out, as he was bitter sobbing in pain, lost in delusion like the frustrated man he was. So embarrassing and awkward, not knowing Sara was behind as he moan in excruciating pain.

"Am angry because of our child? There's nothing she'd do that gonna please me because you left me just because of her. You broke your promise. I never wanted any child. It was your fault because we would have been together if not for that useless child of yours. I must make sure that she goes through every pain you have afflicted on me. In fact, her's will be tripled. Yeah, because she will continue to suffer till you either take one of us." He whimpered painfully, as Sara watch her husband wailing in fallacy.

And she couldn't hold herself and she closed her eyes and folded her arms as anger was rising in her heart. She wanted to hit him so badly. But she took a sincere breath and stood still momentarily, as a series of contemplation ran through her head, and she sighed hastily......

When Sara felt the pain of her husband weeping for his late wife. Jealousy simply took over her, clutching her realistic thoughts, and before she could hold herself, tears were rolling down her eyes. And she couldn't say a word or know what exactly to say to her husband, so she opened the door and quietly walk out of the room without mumbling a word. And Mr. Ben didn't notice her presence as he wailed bitterly.

Sara couldn't withstand the pain she felt seeing her husband of 8years crying and begging God for his late wife to come back to life.

It looks as if her soul had traveled out of the world, as she walked aimlessly through the hallway.

Her steps were sluggish, stagnant like she would fall over at any given moment as she became frigid.

"Oh my God" Sara gasped lowly to herself as she held onto her check, gripping it tightly. But She became very rebellious and opted out as she didn't want to waste any more time.

'Amira will pay for everything.' She thought to herself as she plans to repay all the pain on Amira.
