Darkness in my mind

Chapter 4 ~ The Tragic Moment

I rushed down stairs quickly to have my breakfast before my dad's visitor comes, I hurrily went up to the dinning room and then guess who I saw?? It was Aunty Anneee!!! She was sitting right there on our couch watching TV, Aunty anneeee?? I shouted as she turned her head around to look at me, she opened up her arms to me smiling, and I quickly ran up to embrace her. She watched as I stood up and then she started crying "Aunty Anne, what is it?? Angel asked in a very low voice "Why are you crying?? She replied me saying "Nothing" and I stared...

Aunty Anne pov;

I looked at her and it left my heart shattered, She looks so skinny, have anyone not been feeding her or is she refusing to eat?? She must be really going through a lot. It must have been really hard on her living without a mum and also losing her brother. How often does her father even feed her, how I wish God could just take away her pains. I pray to God to heal her heart quickly. She broke up the silence and said "hold on a seconds, what is that red mark on your face?? What happened to you there?? She asked pointing at it...

"Em, I had some, it's like I got a little bit of something “I said” while stammering. My father then replied her from the dinning room" She had an allergic reaction to garlic while she was cooking last night "My father said and I couldn't say a word anymore, I just kept quiet and muttered "Dad is right" That's not fair Franklin, you could have gotten and applied an allergy cream on her face immediately so as to clean away the scare" she said as she send Nanny grace to get her an ice-pack and an allergy cream "Thanks aunty Anne “I said” as I quickly move to the dinning table to eat my food" I called out to Nanny grace to come and serve me before she leave and she answered…

The food was served and she quickly went outside to get the ice-pack and cream Aunty Anne sent her. My dad and I was eating, when my daddy invited Aunty Anne to come and have some breakfast with us but she declined. Instead she asked us to eat fast and join her in the parlor where she was sitting watching TV because she have something very important to tell us. My father quickly dropped his plate and went ahead to meet her where she was sitting, dying to hear what she has to say....

Mr koye pov;

I wonder what this greedy woman has come here to say this time, I just hope she didn't come here to cause any trouble like last time or to tell me how to take care of my own daughter because I won't take it likely with her this time and i just hope she is not here to put her mouth in what doesn't concern her.... 

Aunty Anne pov;

I just pray Franklin listen to me this time, just for once in his entire life. He should listen to me as his elder sister. I know he must have gone and been through a lot lately but still yet he has to make the right decision, I might not be able to bring enough joy and happiness he deserve back into his life but I still wish him a good and prosperous one even if that can't take away all his pains “My dad broke the stare and said "Aunty Anne, what have you come here to talk about?? He said quietly “Franklin, I have come here to tell you to do what is right "She said while facing him" I think it is about time you get yourself a second wife and other children, Most especially a male child…

Mr koye: Auntie, are you serious right now?? Are you really seriously asking me to take in another wife?? He asked while frowning his face “Franklin, I am so serious and even Angel I am taking her with me today, She can no longer live here because you are not taking care of her “Aunty, what other problem do you have with me and what else do you expect me to do?? Am I not her father?? Am I not capable enough, Am I not old enough to take care of my own daughter?? Aunty let me give you this last warning, let this be the last time you will ever come to my house to tell me s**t about how to take care of my own daughter and if it is that easy why not just go and get yourself a child, Nonsense "he said" as he hissed and walk away. I quickly ran upstairs to beg my father asking him to allow me to follow Aunty Anne but he refused, instead he pushed me away and threw me to the floor as he asked me not to ever dare think about it. I just watched as Aunty Anne shed tears and carried her bag to leave, I moved closer to her and ask her to come and visit sometimes, she nodded as she opens the door to leave and I went back inside, I saw Nanny grace rushing inside as she was asking me why Aunty Anne was leaving so soon, and I replied her saying "Why not go back to ask her" I hissed and walked inside closing the door. I slept and woke up in the evening around 7-8pm at night. It was already late, I really had a long sleep throughout the day. I woke up to hear some heavy noise coming out of our backyard, right across the window. I went ahead to check out what it was and I found out a lot of people were actually standing there and they were the ones making all those noise, they were moving some bags and loads in and out of the house, and some of them were even carrying down some loads out of a bus. It seems they are our new neighbors, but they all whites, Ain't they gat no job, Why would a white man be living in a ghetto area. I can smell something suspicious out here "I said" as I created an instance hatred for them immediately, maybe because they were all men with no single female among them. I closed my window and went downstairs to get something to eat. I can't believe there was no single black among them and still they all came up with the idea of renting a ghetto house that sounds so Acknowledging to me. Ain't they gat no job or money, they could have rented a white house in Californian instead.

What a life!!! I Sprinkled as I got to the fridge to get some stock. But to my surprise there was no stock in the fridge, no food in the pot, no cereals at home and there is simply no snacks to eat...

I was so mad and angry, I closed back the fridge and went straight to Aunty grace room. Gbam!!! Gbam!!! Gbam!!! I knocked Gbam!!! Gbam!!! Gbam!!! I knocked again "Who is that!!! A sound came out of her room, it was a man's voice. Angel pov; What on earth is that voice, and why will she bring up a man into the house. She has no shame at all, such an arrogant prostitute. I'll just pretend like I didn't see anything...

Grace pov; 

Who on earth could that be at this time when am enjoying my life. s**t, such a stupid fellow, couldn't even pick the right time to come and start banging on my door not until she finally realize she was not even in her own house she jumped up immediately while grabbing a towel "What on earth have you done" she said to the man who was just laying on her bed she hissed as she rushed to open the door.

Angel, what's up "she asked" Why is there no food at home?? I replied "She smashed her hand on the wall and shouted "Go and ask your father in his room" She said as she closed the door Grace pov; Such a stupid girl, had it been I knew this was what she wanted to ask me, I wouldn't even have open the door "She said" as she went back to the bed to continue what she was doing…. Angel pov; How insolent can she be sometime, just because I asked her a question and she smashed down the door on me like that, what a useless woman, I just pray my dad never fall in love with her "I said" as I quickly went back to my room to rather have my sleep back because going to meet my dad will be like running into the lion's den and I will rather stay hungry than to have my ass stripped off...I went back into my room to rather cry myself to sleep not until I heard one of our neighbors shouting, banging and calling out a name "Kate" Why on earth will these people not allow me to sleep this time, I said as I used my pink pillow to cover my ears but still it wasn’t working as the name kept ringing in my ears continuously, I stood up and peeped through the window to see what was going on. It was our new neighbor shouting and calling someone's name at the top of his voice Saying "Kate, please open the door for me, are you in there?? Are you okay??Are you just playing another prank on me?? I will call on to the {cops} now if you don't stop he said as he brought his phone out to call the cops but unfortunately his phone went off, damn it "he said" as he started moving up and down the balcony still thinking of what else to do not until he sighted me watching, he ran up quickly to meet me and he said "Hey, please can you quickly borrow me your phone, I really need it urgently" he said as he plead in a very low voice" To do what exactly?? I responded “Please, I just wanna use it to make a phone call "he replied" What phone call?? I asked "Trust me, I just want to use it to call my sister" he begged "Sorry, I am not interested" I said as I was about to close my window and sleep" Wait!!! Wait!!! Wait!!! he said, I promise to give you money or anything you want me to do for you, but just let me make this one phone call "he said while pleading at the same time "I'll take 100bulks" I said while frowning my face "Deal" he said "I will give you 500bulks” he said as I smiled out and immediately handed him the phone…
