the girls returned from school, they were all dressed neatly with their blonde and bournette hairs packed in two pigtails with ribbons. then they met their mum at home, her eyes were red from excessive crying , she was still in her uniform and they wondered why.
"mum.... what's the matter" Amelia asked sitting close to her, Beatrice stood up quickly on noticing their presence.
"it's nothing.... just take your baths and have lunch... I'd be back soon- with this word she walked out of the house.
"something's going on....." Eleanor bit her lips
"did somebody die...?." Natalie asked in horror.
"no it can't be" Amelia replied.
"who noticed she still had her uniform on, I don't think she went to work today" Ashley observed.
"who knows what's bothering her" Kaitlyn said worriedly.
"mummy picked one call today I'm suspecting....." Eleanor said.
"please guys Stephanie's hungry, let's go eat than to solve Almighty problems that don't concern us" Amelia said.
"glad you noticed" Kaitlyn said as she dragged Stephanie to the room.
" I hope nothing is wrong, I just hope so" Ashley said .
" I hope so too" then they entered the room.
THE NEXT WEEK
the girls returned from school as usual but today they found a pair of posh slippers at the door.
" certainly not mum's" Natalie observed.
" we have a visitor!" Kaitlyn concluded.
"Maybe it's aunt Doris" Ashley said in excitment.
"who's aunt Doris..." Stephanie asked then they entered the house only to see an unfamiliar woman sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa her eyes were glued to the TV.
"good afternoon ma'am" Amelia greeted her, the lady didn't reply.
"hello Ma'am, are you looking for our parents" Ashley asked...but she didn't reply...it was obvious, she was just ignoring them.
"hello! are you deaf ma'am, coz we've been talking here" Eleanor said rudely yet she didn't reply. Eleanor walked towards the stairs and yelled.
"nanny, please tell us who this damn f*****g b***h is.....I think she is deaf"
"Eleanor stop !" Amelia scolded. the lady sprang up and gave Eleanor a slap.
on hearing the sound, the nanny rushed to the sitting room and held Eleanor, then she turned to the lady frowning.
"stop that miss, !" she scolded.
"how dare you!" Eleanor screamed.
"I'm sorry mam" Amelia said" you shouldn't have done that".
" brats" she said angrily walking upstairs.
"where's she going" Natalie asked.
" better learn to address me well" I'm not a nanny.
"then who the hell are you" Eleanor yelled. just then a little boy of about one sleepily emerged from the room rubbing his eyes and the woman carried him off to the sitting room.
"who are they?" Stephanie asked
"I wonder....I wonder" Eleanor said
