Chapter 3 Strange

Rosa POV

I rushed inside the house to prepare mom's breakfast before she leaves for work.

"Mom what do you like to take?"I asked from the kitchen.

"Prepare paste at least it will be fast because am already late for work"my mom replied from her room.

That is my mom for you always busy to the extent that she never make out time for me.

Even the first day I saw my period,my dad was the one who lectured me on. That's to show you how busy mom is.

Am still waiting for reply from the school I applied for. But thinking about that school gives me a strange feeling,like am happy that am going to be living in school but still sad about something which I can't place my hand on.

Whatever this is am ready to face it.

After preparing the pasta just the way mom used to like it,I dished out some for her and took it to the dinner table.

"Mom the food is ready"I said as I shifted one of the dinner chairs,sat on it.....operating my phone.

After some minutes mom descended from the staircase looking so beautiful with her silver dress and light makeup.

Coming to my mom's beauty and complexion,I look exactly like her.

"Aww!!!the food aroma is yummy baby how did you prepare this pasta?she asked as she opened the plate and dip in her hands.

"Dad taught me!"I replied sadly.

Mom face expressing changed.

"Mom don't worry ok"I said to her because the next thing she is going to say is am sorry and am tired of hearing it.

"Enjoy your meal mom"

She ate some and stood up.

"Mom are you done?"I asked in a Suprise manner looking at the food which she has not eaten half of it.

"Yes baby take care of yourself"she said kissing my cheek.

"You too mom have a great day at work!"I replied as I stood up from the chair and escort her outside the garage.

She went into the car and within a minute the car was already out from the company.

I smile and dip my finger into my hair thinking of what am going to do today.

"What will I do now,this house is going to be boring for me!!"I said glancing around the company probably looking for someone to play with.

A message beep into my phone and I look into it.

"Oh my goodness!!"I screamed loudly jumping around like a kid.

"You have been offered an admission in Gina college and you are expected to resume next week!!"I read out the message.

My joy was massive.

I can't believe I have gotten an admission into one of the best school in Canada.

Mom will be happy to hear this.

All of a sudden,I felt someone passed my back. I turned immediately but nobody was there.

"Hello anyone there?"I asked walking around the garage.

"Welcome Rosa!"someone called my name and I flinched.

Fear crowded my soul as I stood in one spot unable to move or say a word.

"Who are you?"

"Show yourself!" I summon courage to talk but my legs were shaking.

The person didn't reply instead a wind blow me down to the floor.

With that fear,I ran inside my room and lock the door.

"Am leaving this house tomorrow!I mean I can't stay here till next week!"i stuttered.

I ran on top of the bed,covered myself with the duvet... within a sec I slept off.

Maybe is just my imagination that is playing with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two hours later.

"Rosa open this door now!!".

I heard someone voice but I was feeling too sleepy and weak to open the door.

"Rosa what is wrong with you huh!"the person tapped my shoulder with full force.

"Who is that person?"I asked opening my eyes slowly,still feeling blurry an image was standing in front of me.

"Rosa are you okay!"the person uttered again and the voice looks like mom's own.

"Oh mummy you are back?"I asked.

"What is wrong with you,I have been knocking at your door for some minutes but no response"mom lamented bitterly.

I didn't say a word instead of replying her,I stared at the garage.

The event that happened flash back into my mind.

"Mom s....!"I stop halfway.

"What if mom doesn't believe me!"I wonder in my mind staring into her face.

"Go on!"

"I have been offered an admission"I said

"Wow am so happy for you baby!"she uttered hugging me so tight.

"When are you resuming?"she asked as she sat down on the bed.

"Tomorrow mom!"I replied.

"Wow perfect timing!!"she giggles.

Why is she so happy!

"Mom why are you early today?"I asked standing Up from the bed.

"Actually Rosa am having on a trip to London with my boss tomorrow"she replied.

Hmm!!!

Holy moly!!

No wonder she is so happy with me going to that boarding school tomorrow.

"Okay "I replied causally.

"So we need to go to the market and buy what you need for school"she uttered.

"What do you think?"

"Nice mom!"I replied.

"Okay fresh up,I will be in the kitchen when you are done let me know so that we go early for the shopping before the rain starts....look at the cloud"she said and I turn my back to my window.

The cloud was looking so moody.

"Okay mom i will be fast"I said as I went to my closet to pick out a dress.

"Okay I will be waiting!"mom uttered walking out from my room.

Thank goodness mom will not be staying in this house.

I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

After that I applied my body lotion and wore my pant and bra.

I put on my dress and collected a snickers from the place I kept it.

Looking at myself in the mirror and I felt satisfied with my look.

"Mom am done"I said walking over to the kitchen. Mom was busy with a cup of coffee.

"Come and take some"she said passing in the coffee to me but I nod my head and said "no mom"

With that she drank the whole of it and we marched out from the kitchen to the garage.

Immediately we approached the garage I ran into the car.

"What is the problem?"mom asked.

"Nothing"I replied and she entered into the car and drove out.

How will I tell mom that I heard a strange voice in the garage. Gosh!she will not believe me.

We drove around the town till mom stopped at a supermarket and we alighted from the car.

"Just go inside and pick whatever you want!mom said.

"Are you not going inside with me?"I asked.

"I have some.......!"

"You have some documents to work on!"I said cutting her off. I already knew what she wants to say.

"You are right,I will stay in the car and wait for you!"she said entering into the car and I hiss.

I walked into the supermarket.

I was confused on what to buy,I have never lived in school before so am wondering what to buy.

I bought out my phone and browse what a boarding school student need.

It bought out a lot of stuff.

I went to where milk and milo where kept,I collected two of them with some biscuits.

To crow it all,I bought a lot of stuff.

After that I paid for it and went outside to meet mom

"Am done!"I uttered opening the door and went inside.

"Okay let go!"mom replied dropping the file on the seat and took off.

I bought out my phone and look at the school I will be attending from tomorrow.

"Rosa are you ready for this!" My inner mind said to me and I nod my head.

"Am ready"I muttered to myself.
