His silent wife

chapter 4

Yawning , I woke up from my slumber. my head ached a little but I didn't pay any attention to it .

I looked around the room and saw it was all silent ,no one is there and all seats are cleared indicating only one thing,

I am all alone and in deep trouble . I switched on my phone and checked the time and my eyes widened ,

The class ended two hours ago ,and here I was alone sleeping like I had never slept in my whole existence .

what has gotten into me ,? ughh . I should go, i murmured and took my bag from the table and walked -run out the class .

I opened the door and that's when my insides relaxed a little , There were some other people who are reading here and there but still I am pretty sure that I will get in trouble again.

Deciding I should go to the gates and look at my driver , I walked slowly as I felt my inner energy subsidising with every step .

"mom is going to punish me ," that's the only thing that I have been thinking about . I have never been late nor slept at college.

And I am forbidden to tell lies , what should I make up ? I can't tell her that I have been sleeping in the class.

She will chop my ears and make me eat them .

I sighed with relief when I saw the driver Lou who was still In the car waiting patiently. when he saw me he breathed out with relief and open his car door ,

"little miss .." he whispered like a caring father .

I ma sorry I made you wait, i pout and bit my lip trying to not sob Infront of him .

it's okay, you didn't do anything wrong .Now come along and let's get going before your mom calls me again ,

I nod my head and entered in the car. After he closed the door he started driving and then snapped me out of my thoughts when he said ,

" Your mom called , "

I gulped ,

what did you tell her ?I ask fidgeting with my fingers .

I didn't know what to say,I told her that you are still in classes .

shit he messed up , mom knows my college time table .

okay thanks, I replied trying not to cry and not go blame him becuase he didn't know what to say to her and I was so stupid ..

ughh .. I groaned with displeasure inside and await for my arrival at home .

Minutes later .. The gates of the house opened . Lou packed the car and I was out after thanking him .

I like Lou ,he has always been my driver and had been like a father to me . He is always patient with me and would teach me some set of things that I have never been taught before .

He says he sees me like his deceased little daughter that died when she was six years of age . I pity him so much and I vowed to be the daughter that he had once and he accepted quickly which made me like him even more .

I breathe in and out and open the doors , I walked Silently bending my head and tried to act like I am In deep thoughts .

"you are back , !!" I heard a voice startling the life out of me making me hold my chest with fright ,

Oh ..dad , I murmured and fixed my fearfull state .

Yes I am , I replied with a little gruff and chuckle a little .

How was school,? he thinks I am still the same little girl who comes back home from highschool . This is my last year of college and he still mix up the term school and college .

I think too much,

umm everything went well thank you for asking dad , He nods his head and took the stairs before me without uttering any word.

After I heard his foot steps descending I quickly ran to my room , I closed the door in a slight swift and took off my clothes and went to the bathroom for shower .

After showering, I took one of my large towels and put it on my body and walk out feeling fresh ,but still tired .

why ?

I yawned and ended up sleeping again on the bed forgetting that I had to deal with mom later .

later on , I was awakened from a tight grip of my hair .I instantly began to yell as the scalps were burning me .

Shut up !! I heard a familiar voice of mom that made me silent after she yelled at me .

Mom , I pout and looked at how her hands tightly holding my hair,

you are hurting me , I pout and let the tears fall .

And why are you crying, ? she asks with a sly smile , It shook my insides .

That smile she held is malicious .

I ..umm you are hurting my head mommy I said silently.

oh you didn't tell me how your college day was today , You didn't even come and find me or ask of me when you were back, ?

Are you angry with me my dear, ? She gritted the last words ,

I shaked my head with worryness filled in my eyes .

Now how was school she asked a little irritated and raised her eyebrow ,

it was okay mom ..

Okay , ? she asked and slapped my face after that,

mom .. I whinned and touched my cheek .

She untangled my hair from her hand and pointed a finger at me , Tell me where the hell were you today Sofia and why did you get late returning home from college ?

she gritted out , her make up face looked a little terrible and messier as she talked to me with anguish .

It was okay mom, I cried out and craw a little far away from here ..

She looked at me and ushered for me to crawl a little near threateningly .

I did so and bent my head clutching the towel tightly on my body ,

And why the heck am I seeing this Sofia ? she asked out of nowhere after opening her phone and showed me a picture of myself sleeping on the desk .

I gaped first and couldn't form a word and gasped ..

M..mom .. I stuttered but she slapped me again and my nose started to bleed which made me cry even harder .

M..mom , I cried and moved back from her only to be yanked by my hairs again ,

She is angry .. Did she know ..

my goodness ? did she know what happend today at school ??

Why do you like to destroy my reputation so much Sofia , we have given you all the freedom that you wanted and this .. this is what you do when you are at school? she showed me the picture of which I was sleeping,

I nearly breathed in relief when I knew that she doesn't know anything of the boy that I roamed around with but my head ached even more which made me feel dizzy .

I .. i am sorry mommy .. I stuttered and cried out .

You are not sorry Sofia !! You did this purposely to destroy our reputation, Everyone knows you as the obidient child of the Crawford's household .

She slapped my other cheeked again and I felt my breath speeding up and couldn't breath anymore ..

" This picture is in the internet and it was posted by one of your classmates who were all making fun of you and our family . "

How am I supposed to forgive you that easily , ? Don't you get any enough sleep when you are at home , She yelled on my face and slapped me one more time increasing the discomfort that I felt toward my nose which is bleeding and my headache to increase .

I ..I can't breath I choked out , but she wasn't having it as she kept on yelling . I layed on the bed my chest heaving up and down .

Mom .. I ..I can't breath , I tell her once more .

Sofia .. I heard mom's frightful voice before I saw black .
