ENTWINED LIVES

" Jasmine come home after school immediately" Sir Elrad shouted over the phone and hang up. Jasmine who has just woken up regretted why she picked the call. The way her parents and brothers keep bossing her around just makes her wonder if she's really a human being to them. "Every time do this do that" she murmur and made her way to the bathroom. The next day she got only home to see her Dad sitting on the couch in the living room reading the newspapers 'jeez why didn't he go to the office today?' she thought inwardly "Good evening sir" Jasmine greeted attempting to go to her room. "I thought you'll stand there all day and what's with the voice? I'm a married man or do you want your mother to divorce me?" Her father replied looking at his daughter. "You called me because of another drama? I'm going back, say hello to your wife for me" she said about to drag herself out of the house as soon as possible. "Hi darling ? my love I miss you, dinner will soon be ready let's go to the dinning room". ' the drama queen is out ' she said to herself when she heard her mother's voice "Hi Momma, I miss you too but I have this project I'm working on at school, I just received a message to be there ASAP I told Dad to greet you on my behalf" I grunted within while showing all my white teeth. "Your teeth are getting whiter every time I see them seems like we'll be welcoming a son in-law soon" "Is the project related to having a boyfriend or perhaps a husband ?" The couple questioned at once. " I think the food is READY Dad , it's even my favorite" that the only to escape the intense gaze from her parents now. " Let's eat then" Mom quietly hooked her arms around her husband and majestically walked to the dinning room. Jas rolled my eyes at them "the both of you are getting old stop being childish for goodness sake" "We'll stop when you get a boyfriend or a husband anyways I love my husband so much and I hope you get one soon" her mother said and kissed her husband. "And when we see our grandkids to play with" Sir Elrad added. "But what about the quadruplet and Sonia? Are they not grandkids enough?" She said looking at the couple. "The quadruplet will love to have a father what do you think?"there her father goes again with that topic of having a guy in her life. ' I think I'm just gonna escape from this place ' she thought " Can the both of you stop already or I'll go back to school didn't even know why I came in the first place" she grunted hoping they'd continue so she can leave soon but ... " I have an important meeting with you before you go so focus on your food" father said seriously With the tone of his voice, she could tell it was really important but what is it? "Hope you're not going tell me to study one of those ridiculous courses again " she stopped to ask after thinking. "No dear besides we're very proud of you" mother said smiling at her. "We'll see about that" she said and continue eating. "Come to my study later" her Dad said after dinner. " Jas dear come and tell me about the cute guys that are your fellow interns at the law firm" mother said patting a place for her to sit. "Mom I'm tired maybe later"she said pretending to yawn "Really? The maids are preparing hot bath for you why don't you tell me a little about the guys?" mother acted sheepishly "They are interns like me and are all in a relationship" she manage to answer knowing exactly her mother wanted to hear. " You mean no one is single?" "Yes ma can I go now?" She ask almost walking away "Yes , from next year I will tell the manager to only employ single guys" "Wait what? She suddenly paused "Did I say that out loud?" Chelle Elrad asked "No you wispered it, Mom you better stop thinking about it because next year I'll be done with my internship program and I can finally work there after all you've always wanted me to be a lawyer" she said and walked to her room.
