Although the day, school seemed irritating to me.As I got home, I met both my parents talking with each other, whispering, to be honest."Hey! What's going on,?"I said as I walked to them, seated on the couch.They were both looking strangely at each other, strange enough to give me the hint that something was wrong, or perhaps something happened...I look at dads guilty face and said."Can you please tell me what happened, ?".Dad takes his head away from me, faces me, and said. " Nothing happened dear, never mind,".With was a lie.As he hastily left mom on the sofa, he navigated towards the kitchen door, and I followed him."Dad! What happened,?". I was just in time as I held back his hands, from getting close to the fridge...Again dads eyes were depleted.As I waited for at least a response, mom walks in and spoke to dad."Can you please tell her honey,"? Said mom_ she rode over to dad- As dad faced her."Dear, what are you saying, I cannot possibly tell her,". He spoke ag
What's wrong with my parents?First. Corey came to school and told me the same thing.Now my parents are also repeating the same thing. Perhaps while I was in school, did Corey come to visit my parents? Did he?I went to my bedroom.Just then Sara phoned me, and I picked up."Where are you Muna?" She said on the phone.I walk to the wall clock hanging on the wall. A minute past seven in the evening."Tell me, what happened, I'm at home,?".I spoke up.Sara goes quiet for a while. She replied later and said."Muna, I need you to come with me to a friend's party, tonight,"."Why?"I said."What do you mean why, because I'm asking you, please come,". She said. She grumbled on the phone.Sara might be my best friend.But whenever she wants something done or wants you to attend somewhere with her, she's willing to pester you until you've no choice but to accept."Fine! I'll come with you,".I accepted, holding her at the other end of the call.She screamed through the phone and almost had
"You're not serious, don't you dare speak to me in such a manner and what do you mean, my parents didn't tell me,?".I confided.Corey laughed."You can ask them yourself, ". He said and pointed in a direction.I turned following his hand and right there I met my parents slowly walking out of a curtain, that was right next to the balcony.I left Corey- as I walked to question them."Mom, what are you doing here,?". I turned to dad, " tell me what is happening,".I said staring at both of my parents.Mom moved ahead, she was just about to speak, however, dad dragged her back to himself.Dad looks at her and she did too.Something is wrong?...When mom and dad hesitated to speak, Corey moved Into our midst."I can tell you,". He said. I found myself meeting his gaze."Tell me, what is happening,?". I questioned.Corey grinned."Muna, your parents have both decided to get us both married,'. He bought out his hand and pressed it against his waist."You're now going to become my wife, and
mobster husband.I walk into my home after a long day at college, and the first thing I find welcoming me was a man, holding a loaded gun to the head of my dad. Dad saw me freaked out."Hey! What's going on?". I said as I let go of my bags and ran to save him.But the man, takes his hand back, following with the gun .... "Muna, why are you here so early?".Dad went up from his knees and slinked me back to his frightened gaze. "Dear, go to your bedroom,'. Dad instructed. He pushed me in the direction of my bedroom. I looked at mom as she gave me a slight nod. I believe she also wanted me gone.I left without getting my bags, I heard no noise, no one said anything until I banged the door to my bedroom.....Immediately. The whispering began.....I couldn't hear what they were talking about. However, the fright of a gun fixed to the head of my parents again made me more troubled.I paced around my bedroom.Then suddenly, I got a luminous idea.I thought maybe I can get a glimpse
He snatched mom and yelled to her face."How dare you slap Corey, I'll make you pay,".He says, as he dragged her to the kitchen, turned on the gas cooker, and practically attempted to burn her hand with the flames.I couldn't stand there and watch that happen, I rode past my scared dad, and walked between him and my mom.He stares at me angrily. "You should learn how to respect, your elders, didn't your mom teach you that?" I said, I managed to break his grip on my mother. Mom was freaking out of uncertainty. That alone made me mad. I gently shifted mom and took her place."Come on, you wanted to burn her right, you can as well, do it to me, I dare you,"..... I said... Without fear..... Corey laughed. "you sure?, I don't do well with threats,". He said."Seriously, I should be the one telling you, or better yet, are you scared now?". I brought down my hands close to the flames of the gas cooker... ...Mom begged me to stop. Dad seconded. I looked away ignoring their words, all I
Dad looked at my hands. His eyes were so watery, that he closed them and a teardrop falls on my plan. I felt it ease a little off the pain in my palm."Dear, come with me,". Mom dragged me away from dad and forcefully sat me down on the sofa to attend to my wounds. She pressed a wet towel into my hand and stared emotionally at me.While mom attended to my wounds, Corey stood and watched. After that, dad walks up to him and begged me to give him enough time to pay up his loan. Corey and I locked eyes I felt him enjoying the scene, he looks away and said to dad."Mr. Nunan, I don't think I'll be needing any more time, because I not only want your daughter as collateral but also she will get married to me and become my wife,"... The towel falls from my hand. My parents and I stared at him with shock.No! He can't be serious, or can he?....I stood up and fought against it."Never, you must be out of your mind, I'll never become your wife, neither will I accept such a stupid condit
I am waiting?" Corey said. I looked at the faces of my parents, before responding, "fine, I accept, I'll get married to you,". Dad immediately rebuked, " no! You can't do that,"."Dear, Please reconsider,". Mom said as well.Corey however didn't care what they said. He finally takes away the gun and before leaving he turns to my family and said."You're lucky tonight, but don't forget, I'll be back for you, my dear,". Corey winked at me before disappearing from our eyes... Immediately the door shuts, and dad ran off to the door, he locked it, confronting me. "You shouldn't have accepted Muna," dad complained.Like what the heck does he want?. I had no choice, it was either I see my parents die before my eyes or accept to marry a monster like Corey."Dear! Please no need to dwell on this, we should at least find a way to save our child from getting married to a man like Corey,". Says mom. She turns around and faced me. ", Muna, I need you to promise me, and no matter what, you'll n
The next morning. After the whole Corey episode, both my parents were still paranoid. I came downstairs for breakfast. Mom walks out of the kitchen holding a bowl of hot soup. However, the second a bang on the door came. She unnerves and accidentally sent the entire soup to the ground.Out of fear."Mom?". I called staring at her facial expression.She faced the door and ran over to meet dad.Dad looks at me, "dear, can you go check who's at the door?". He whispered to me."Seriously!", I said back."Please baby, huh!". Said mom, holding unto dad's favorite polo shirt."Fine, let me go check,". I inhaled and said.I stood up from my chair, navigating towards the front door.I came closer and yelled."Who is it?". . I faced my parents for a while, they were both freaked out of their minds, when a familiar voice yelled right back."Muna! Get the door open, please,".. Sara, my best friend, said.Upon hearing her voice, my parents calmed down, I did too.Even though I didn't quite show
