727 Words
VIVIAN'S POV
I woke up by the sound of my annoying alarm that reminds me to wake up early for breakfast, you might be wondering if I go to school or not, well of course but I take private lessons at home.
After waking up, I brushed my teeth took my bath and got dressed for breakfast. When I got to the dinning room, I saw only my beloved father already having his meal already without waiting for anyone. I smiled and went towards him and pecked him on the cheek and said."Good morning father" "Good morning sweetie, hope you slept well?" he said. "Yes I did, thank you father " I sat down and started eating, and that was when I noticed Mrs Dora (Lucas' mother), I smiled and waved at her. she smiled back and waved too.
Mrs Dora is a very kind and generous woman,if not anything, she gave birth to a wonderful son (Lucas).
My thoughts were cut shut when I saw my Mom walking in with my dumb brother,they took the sit opposite Dad and I. nobody said anything,we were just eating silently, Then Mrs Dora came with a tea pot in her hands,serving us one after the other, when she got to my mom's cup, she was extra careful I'm sure of that, not until Mom used her elbow to hit the teapot and it splashed everywhere, making everyone to stand up. Mom hurriedly turned to Mrs Dora and gave her a resounding slap on her right cheek."Mom" "Margaret" My Dad and I shouted at the same time. of course everyone knows that Mom did it intentionally to deal with Mrs Dora. "how could you? you ungrateful peasant." my mom shouted and pointing an accusing finger on Mrs Dora who is already shivering and also in tears. I ran to Mrs Dora and held her hand consoling her. "Margaret,I won't take this from you anymore, you've ruined our breakfast just cuz you want to get even with your maid" father shouted at Mom in frustration. "But I didn't do anything Edward, you're taking her side again as usual,why can't you just believe me for once that...." "oh don't turn this on me Margaret,why can't you just stop making trouble in your own house?" father said and walked away. My brother was there busy laughing at the weeping woman. And then it looks like my Mom hadn't had enough just yet. "you've finally succeeded in making me the bad guy, right? now listen to me, any influence that you have on my husband, just don't hope on it cuz me myself have the power to make you leave or make you stay, so don't dare to cross me. understood?" "Yes ma'am" Mrs Dora said with tears in her eyes as she watched Mom walking away and my brother followed suit. And then I turned to Mrs Dora, " I'm so sorry about my mother, she could be so difficult sometimes." "it's okay sweetie, I'm already used to it and besides I don't want to get thrown out of the house, I mean... where else would I go to?" she said breaking down in tears, I hugged her tightly and told her that everything's going to be alright,she nodded and cleared up the dinning table and left.
I actually felt bad for Mrs Dora,she has been working here even before I was born, which probably means that she has never lived anywhere else except this place. I heard rumors about her late husband probably Lucas' father. he was among the soldiers that went out for war during their days and never returned,no one knows if he's alive or not but after all these years had passed by... she preferred calling him 'Late' cuz she knew that he couldn't have survived it. Mrs Dora really had a very sad story, I wonder what my mom was jealous about her, mom couldn't even stand the sight of her, maybe they had an unfortunate encounter before or so I thought.
well the rest of the day went smoothly,sure it would cuz I spent the rest of the day in my room. I'm not just ready for another drama today. And besides I have more other things to think about not just Mom. I slept off that day into the world of My own fantasy and imagination.
