Episode 2
Miriam
I could remember the first experience I had during my menstral cycle, i needed help and advice from someone most especially the person I called my mom but she was no way to be found.
I struggled on my own, if not Nanny Brella that helped me out with some things.
“I wonder what kind of mother I have, of all the mothers in the world God happens to give me this one “I said to myself
“Miriam “my friend Linda yelled waving at me
I walked up to her smiling
“Good morning Linda “I greeted
“Morning Miriam, guess what? “She said excitedly
“What? Please tell me you know I am not good in a guess “I said pleadingly
“Ok, my mom and dad wants to take us to a family picnic “she said jumping and laughing
“Really? “I asked sadly
“Yes, and you can join us if you want you can come with your mom”she said still smiling I guess she did not notice my countenance because she was blinded by happiness
“Thanks Linda, but I won’t be coming with you guys my mom isn’t around and I can’t go alone “I answered
“Am sad because you won’t be coming with us but don’t you worry, I will bring you chocolates and ice creams “she said
“Thanks friend “I said and hugged her.
Linda’s parents are also rich but they are always at home to give them the attention they deserve, she is blessed with a good and happy family unlike me I have only one family member which is my money conscious mother, sometimes I always suggest if running away from home will be the better idea.
“I don’t care about her, as long she doesn’t see me as any one, I will live my life as I want”I thought to my self
“Miriam , let’s get to class it’s already time for the first period and you know how our maths teacher treats late comers ” Linda said and drag me with her.
After the class, I decided to take a walk down the school garden.
I was so filled with depression that I bumped into someone
“Hey miss watch where you are going “the person yelled at me
“I.. I… Am sorry “I stammered
“It’s ok, but you sound worried and sad? “The guy asked me
“It’s nothing, am fine excuse me “I said and ran away
“Wait “he shouted but I didn’t stop, i ran far away not knowing where I am going exactly.
After the days teachings and exercises, I went back to my nightmare.
I entered the house as usual no one was home, I walked to the kitchen counter I redraw a written note.
“Miriam I have an important client to meet see you but I will be gone for a month bye”.
That’s the kind of mother I have, traveling and business is what she likes, I don’t blame her, I blame my dad for leaving me behind in this world.
