Chapter 8 The Runaway boy

Chapter 8

It was a frame picture. I looked at the picture, I couldn't recognize them, I didn't know them so a voice said '' Those are your parents''. And that is your family. I turned back to see who was talking to me.. I screamed loud and louder again.. It was the run-away boy. It was Potiphar. I hissed to make him feel that I didn't miss him. He said '' I am here to see my sister''

I replied ''Do you have a sister here?''.. I continued ''Besides, I don't care''. Then I left him heading towards Promise's ward when he said; ''You care, you cared and you still care''. ''For who?''. I said. ''For my sister'' replied Potiphar. She is my sister. Promise is my sister. I couldn't breath very well and wondered why on earth these things were happening to me

First he said; Those in the frame picture were my family. Promise was in the picture, even Potiphar also showed me himself and myself in the picture. I held him very well. I could recognize myself in the picture. I decided to go into Promise's ward. I knew that she would have been famished by now, so I bought her her favourite food; Chips and Pizza. When she saw me, she smiled while I tried forcing a smile on my face bit couldn't do that.

I said '' Promise, when you eat finish eating, I want to ask you something. She wanted to know what I wanted to ask but I insisted that until she finished her food. I was staring at her while she was eating and my stomach was making sounds, which I felt it must have been hungry. It was crumbling. I was already famished but I had to endure since I had no money on me.

When she finished eating, she said ''Thank you''. Small mummy, now I am done eating. Ask me the question. I only asked her to rest for five minutes..

When the time came, she said ''Small mummy, you can ask me the questions. I said ''promise, promise, promise''. she said ''Yes''. I continued, Promise, how many times did I call you?''. She replied; ''Three times, Pam''. I smiled and so I continued; You know now that our house has been demolished? she said "yes " and so she smiled. I wondered why she smiled and asked her. She told met they 'be built the house back. I was confused so I said "who?. She said " your father ".

"My father". I said as I gave her a very hot slap. At first, I was hot inside of me, so I went outside and I saw Potiphar, he asked me what had happen but I snobbed. Potiphar then entered into promise ward and asked her what happened. I overheared them promise said nothing, brother. I was still surprise. Was she Potiphar sister?. Potiphar never made me to know that Promise was his Sister. I entered back into the ward again and furthermore, l asked Promise my question again giving her the frame to look at.She said this is my family. Here is my small mummy (pointing at me ).I knew that that person was me. She continued and this is my father at your back,this,she paused before she continued, and this woman beside dad is mother. She is late now. I screamed then said "Mother is late now". Yes she is, she died because of you. She looked for you but didn't find you.
