Michael's POV
After having a cordial lunch with the family. I headed back to the garden.
No one really knew this, but this was my favorite place, it made me calm and happy. And most importantly it reminded me of my mother. She loved this place a lot. She spent a lot of time here and she even thought me how to make and care for a flower bed.
I noticed that ever since we left here nobody tended to the garden and there was so much grass that had sprouted out. And I wanted this place cleaned up. It would have been easier to tell the men to come do it, but I knew the job would not be satisfactory, so instead I went to the store in garden and brought out the tools I was going to do it by myself.
I sat on the bench once more taking in the Air and enjoying the environment, I closed my eye and leaned back and allowed thoughts of a certain girl fill my mind , I thought of my encounter with her earlier.
I was sitted on the bench in the garden ,this same bench I was sitted on, and I was enjoying the silence and the loneliness I felt.
Until I got whiff of a familiar intoxicating scent, I was tempted to turned around and check for where she was but I guess I was too lazy to move a bone.
Then I heard a footsteps approaching me , she then stood in front of me, and she looked pretty pissed off. But I could not care less she looked so beautiful and I could not care less .
She was stomping her foot on the ground continuously, and I dropped my gaze to her legs, damn such fine legs. I toned out the sound and kept admiring those fine legs.
Then I got out of it and realized she was not going to stop until I spoke and I did, she replied me with the same energy. Uh uhh me likeee!!! I like a little bit of a temper.
Of course we went back and forth until she said the one thing my mum always said to me.
" What will it take from you to be polite" she asked me ,her tone exposed that she was really upset, maybe she did not like how I spoke to her mother and I respected that. I was going to try at least just to make my mother proud.
As soon as she walked away, I was left with thoughts of my mother. Her love and care and most importantly her patience with me. She was the only one who understood me and how I felt. And she was always slow to get angry with me. My thoughts kept going back to the different scenarios when she asked me that question. I remembered the Last time she asked me that, my Dad was hosting a party at our home and I was forced to go, given that I was the only and they needed to start showing off.
Flash Back ..
" Mikey come and see the suit I got for you," my mum said excitedly as she walked into my room and sat on my bed
I was sitting at on the patio aside working on an assignment that was going to be due the following day and the last thing I needed was to get upset because of my Dad hypocritic parties and his snobbish rich friends.
He himself was snobbish, ever since my diagnosis he barely ever spoke to me or even acknowledged my presence in a room, it was like I was none existent to him.
At first when it started I dismissed it because I thought he was always busy with work. But then gradually it got worst, he started staying away more often and when he was back he buried himself with work or he always stayed in his office. If I came down for dinner ,then he ate in his room. When I was in the hospital he never visited not even once, he only sent me flowers once.
I did not mind because I thought he was not in the country but I got home soon and found out he never traveled. And the following day after I came back home he planned to travel the following day.
There was a lot of arguments between him and my mum last night and I eaves dropped, I wish I did not cause the things I heard were very heart breaking.
"_You should have no problem caring for him he is your Son after all" I heard my Dad spit out bitterly to my mum. Then she gasped in shock
" how can you say that Gary, he is our Son both of us he is both our responsibilities, I can't do this alone please" she started saying angrily but she later broke into sobs. I could hear how broken she felt and it was because of me.
" Then we can send him away to any institute, and we can have more children or we could even adopt a dog if it will make you feel better" my Dad said in a cold tone, without any form if care or guilt about it. My eyes widened as I realized how much he had rejected me.
He would rather have a Puppy , dirty puppies roaming around the house than care for me his son. I did not realize it until I felt a drop of liquid on my hand. I was crying because I was so much trouble for my father. He wanted to send me away to an institute.
I heard my thud, my mum had slapped my Dad for what he had said.
" I cannot believe you are talking such rubbish about your own child, you are just a monster" she said as she walked away from him and towards the door. I quickly hid in the corner so she would not see me. When her foot steps faded away , I hurriedly walked back to my room and cried myself to sleep. And that night I made up my mind that I was going to work to get better to make it easier for my mum and to prove my Dad wrong.
I brought my thoughts back to the present.
" No way mum I already told you that I was not going to attend any function of his, he can go and take a puppy to his function not me" I replied rudely as I continued typing on my system." come on please, I had it custom made for you and I know your custom made clothes are usually your favorite you will love this one" she insisted nicely, which got me more upset, why didn't she understand that I did not want to go. I broke the wine bottle beside me and screamed, then my mum rushed outside to see me and make sure I was okay" what will it take for you to go away, I said no already i am not going for the party so why do keep asking, I will shred those clothes until they become rags, just leave" i shouted at her and she flinched in fear, her gaze dropped to the piece of broken glass on my hand, then she looked up at me, her eyes filled with tears because I always broke her heart and most times she was forced to understand
Malem's POVI heard a knock on the door, I went out to check but there was no one. I guess it was my boredom that was getting the best out of me.I went back and laid on ny bed. I groaned loudly , not in agony or pain or anger. But sheer boredom.I allowed my mind to drift, I was so worried about my new life here. Making friends, being the new kid and all, I hated being the new kid. I hope I did not do anything to cast and become a laughing stock.Translations:Cast: it means to disgrace one's selfLaughing stock: someone that every one mocks.I was yet to talk to Mum about getting a new Sim, or maybe I should just ask Mr rude face about it. He seemed to be in a better mood ever since our conversation in the garden.I needed to talk to Bisandu

Malem's POVI opened the phone and stared at my phone with love. I was still in my love cloud when I heard a knock on my door.I climbed out of my bed, straightened my gown and went to check the door.It was Mr Angry Rude Face standing on the other side of the door. Yes I added angry to his Nick name. He seems to be angry everytime, all the encounters I have had with him, he was either angry or rude, so why not call him Mr Angry Rude Face.I did wondered what he was doing by my Door, was he mistaken or something." Ehm Good Afternoon" I said weirdly and almost too nervously" Hey" he said as he scratched the back of his hand.Is big bad wolf shy and nervous. Uhh la la." Hi" I replied with a smile." I came to apologize for earlier and also the incident in my roo
Michael's POVI was sitting in the Garden patiently waiting for Miss Snoopy Controller to come down. I waited alone as I looked at the garden and recalled memories of the things she had thought me.I texted Madam Joan to help keep Mara busy. She was a little bit bossy and it was annoying the hell out of me. I was struggling to hold it together. I did not think I was going to be able to get it together, and I was just going to ruin everything when all I wanted to do is just apologize and make friends with the pretty lady.As I waited I brought out the tools I was going to use, I was not planning on doing everything, just basically trim them and water it, I had already asked someone to weed it out before hand so from there I would take on the rest of the managing routine, until it was back to its former glory.I was already excited about it.
I connected the pipes to the tap and allowed water to flow from the taps. And we started watering the plants.She mistakenly poured water on me , then I turned to look at her with a semi frown on my face" Oops, sorry, it was a mistake, I did not mean to" she said mischievously as she faced the other side and watered the plants.So little Miss Snoopy controlling pants is also a mischievous one huh. I smirked at the knowledge of that. I have always liked me a pretty mischievous lady."_ok It's fine, no problem"I said curtly as I turned to my side, she kept turning to look at me, I am pretty sure she was guilty and checking to be sure I did not return the favour.So I returned the favour. But of course not immediately, I waited until her guards were down and she was convinced I would not revenge before I executed my revenge.&
" hey " I said to mara as soon as I saw her" Nice work you guys did here, I'm sure you did most of it you strong guy" she complimented, and spoilt it with her latter words. I refrained from rolling my eyes are her" Yeah, Thank you" i said politely, " actually Nene equally put in a lot of effort and she even gave me extra tips on gardening" I said as I gave Malem back them glory." yeah I'm sure she did" she said dismissively. As I led her into the garden where Malem was."_How was the grocery shopping" Malem asked politely" It was actually more interesting than I thought, she let me pick stuff myself , can you believe it, she is just a very nice woman" mara replied excitedly" That's cool so did you bring any Saraba for us" she askedAnd both Mara and I frowned our faces an
Malem's POV I headed to my room immediately after I saw Mara peck Mr Angry Rude Cheating Face. Ok maybe just maybe!! I am exaggerating the Cheating part but seriously. He could not push her away or something. Guy you just kissed me like Five Minutes ago why are you allowing her take advantage of the moment. But didn't I also take advantage of the moment?, did all the girls he saved from something take advantage of the money. Arghhhh!!!! Why am I over thinking, should I even be over thinking this. Am I paranoid? Or is my reaction ringing clingy. This is my first Kiss so pardon me if I am over reacting. This is not the Holly Wood scenerio I hoped for. Shit I have never felt this before. What was this weird warmth I feel in my stomach. Could it be the Butterflies I read of in
