Parents were having their best time with their children.
Hallowen rymes echo in the air.
Every household decorated thei home with blooming lights that poduce different colors.
A slow and melodius song filled the atmosphere.
‘’When I would go to sleep,I’d always,mom.
Keep the door open ,and please leave the light on.’’
‘’Cause I thought monsters lived under the bed.
That’s before I knew they walk the streets instead.’’
‘’I wanna live in a world
Where people don’t get hurt.’’
‘’And everybody got enough money.
Where nobody ever gets sick.’’
‘’Or has to skip a meal
I wanna live in a world where hallowen santa is real..’’
The song rhythm moved slowly and also suits the day.
Images of a santa claus who had a pumpkin head were displayed on the billboard of each street.
The day was filled with good memeories .
At Peter’s Home.
Peter was still lying on the bed in his room.
The stress,shock and terrifying momen he experienced at the hospital made him have sleepless nights .
So, he slept so late and couldn’t awake so early.
Suzanna , who had already gotten off from bed, has decorated their home with bloming lights of different colors.
She also decorated a the streetway before her.
She looked so strong and agile as if she wasn’t the one that looked exhausted , at the course of giving birth to her child.
A sound of a baby crying springs out from a room .
Suzanna left what she was doing , and rushed to the room wher she kept her baby.
She entered and walked slowly to a small tent.
‘’Alexis,you awake.’’she said.
She lowered herself to the bed and carried her.
She had already taken her bath and dressed her in rayalty attire thatmakes her look like a princess.
Alexis was so beautiful.
She is more like Suzanna’s replica .Nevertheless, the Triskelion emblem on her forehead made her different, nu Suzanna never cared about that.
Immediately, she sees Suzanna, she lit her face with a smile.
Suzanna’s heart felt warm.
She widened her cheeks with a smile as she played with her.
Apparently, the room was reserved for her.
Since, it was arranged and decorated with so many accessories that a baby could play with.
After some moments, a notification bell rang in their sitting oom.
Suzanna seemed to be happy .It was as if she was expecting someone.
She rushed out of the room with Alexis and walked to the door.
She narrowed her eyes to the hole on the door so that she could see who was there.
She smiled and twinges the doorknob,
The door got opened.
A middle aged lady, with two little kids ,dressed in hallowen santa’s attire walked in.
They both express excitement.
‘’’Wow, you have put to bed?’’ The middle aged lady speaks while she displays a curious look.
Suzanna’s POV
‘’Yes, I put to bed yester night .’’ I replied , putting on a smile.
‘’Congratulation, Suzanna. I loved the baby . She’s a girl,right?’’ Helena asked
‘’Yes ,her name is Alexis.’’ I responded with a smile on my face.
She hugged me with my baby while her two kids , a boy and a girl struggled to carry my baby.
I laughed hysterically and watched hem stuggle to carry her off my hand.
‘’Happy Halloween , kids. Come in so that you can have your best time here.’’I paved way for the,.
They entered , while I closed the door.
Suzanna couldn’t hold back her excitement.
Although she knows hat I was heavily pregnantm but she doesn’t know tat the delivery day would come so soon.
She walked in and sat on a cushion,
She looked around and admired how I decorated the sitting room for the love of Halloween.
‘’Wow, I love the decorations. This is heaven on Earth.’’ she confesses
We both chuckled.
Suzanna has been my fiend rightly from when I was in High School.
We were both in the same class, and we also shared the same room.
We tend to break our friendship because I refused to follow her lead .
She loves staying up late outside the school, and do all sorts of things I never loved.
We were still in the same room after we ended our friendship , but it gets to a point that she doesn’t show up again.
I never cared to look for her anyway because I know her ways m and also believe that she would be fine wherever she might be.
After so many weeks passed ,I learned that she had already gotten pregnant for one of te bad boys in our school.
She always avoided whose contact, her baby bumps has grown bigger, and her pregnancy saga was noting to hide about.
When the school principalsheard about her pregnancy saga , they instructed her to pack out of the hostel, and moe to the school maternity center ,pending the time her parents would ne aware of her pregnancy.
I was disappointed in her even with the fact that we aren’t that closo the maternity center
However , before she gets off school completely , I decided to pay her a visit to the maternity center. I nevemind the fact that she always avoids me.
It was on Monday afternoon I packed up my books and vacates the classroom since Im done with my classes for the day.
I decided to seize the moment to vivt her at the maternity center.
However ,I got there and met an amfrican American woman ,who semed to be one of the guardians of the maternity center.
I informed her of the person I wanted to see.Thus, she took me inside the maternity center and directed me to a room that has the number 4 inscribed on the door.
I looked at the other doors and realized that they were all numbered.
I pushed the door a bit o open .Hence, it got opened I entered and see Theresa sitting down whilst she leaned her back to the wall.
She lowered her head and sob.
She doesn’t notice my presence.
I looked around and realized that nobody was with her.
I rushed to her and stood beside the bed she was sitting on.
‘’Theresa’’ I called her name.
She raised her head and got startled as she saw me.
She couldn’t believe I would come for her , even though ,she had been avoiding me for so long .
‘’Whats wrong with you’’ I asked her.
She snuffs and adjusted herself on the bed.
I sat beside her and used my hand to wipe off her tears.
‘’You are not in the best condition to cry. Everything happened for some reason ,you just have to knw this.
Embrace yourself, and makes things right for yourself ‘’ I motivated her.
She looked into my eyes and hugged me so tight.
I know she doesn’t believe that I could try to make things right with her.
After some moments ,she disengaged herself from the hug and lit her face with a smile.
I found solace in her smile .Its been a while with the smile .
