Episode 01

?Rose Gilbert ?
I woke up this morning.
I sighed.
Only God knows what await me from Mom.
I got into the bathroom and freshen up.
I dressed up.

I got down.
” Good morning Mom” I greeted.
” Keep your good morning to yourself, just look at the time you are waking up and you are here telling me good morning” she said.

I sighed.
” Mum it is just few minutes past seven” i said.
” So?
” Am sorry mum” i apologized.
” Keep that sorry to yourself” she said.
” Mum please where is dad” I asked..
” Are you asking me that? Get the hell out of my sight now and get into the kitchen” she yelled.

I scurried to the kitchen.
Tear dropped from my eyes.

Why is mom behaving like this?.
Am rose Gilbert and am 25years.
I was ten years when I lost my parents in a ghastly Motor accident. I fell unconscious.
A good Samaritan help us and took us to the nearby hospital.
I was later told my parents are dead and I have no where to stay.

I cried with no tears left in my eyes.

The doctor decided to take the me the orphanage home.

I lived there until I was fifteen years when I was adopted by Mr and Mrs Wilson.

They couldn’t have a child of their own so they decided to adopt me.

I was so happy afterall I will get parental love and care.

They enrolled me in a school and care for me like their own daughter.

But recently mum have been acting cold towards me.
She just hate me now for no reason.

She slapped me at any slight opportunity.

She shout and get angry at me for no reason.

She told me not to get a job not to talk of Working if I still want to continue living in her house.

I have no choice but to obey her since I don’t have anyone else.

I don’t have friends.
Am always indoor.

She was once Caring and loving but suddenly she changed towards me.

I really don’t know what I have done to her.

I prepared the breakfast and serve it.
” Mum am done ” I said to her.

She looked at me, she stood up from her seat.
She hissed and push me away from her way.
I looked at her.

I got into dad’s room.
I met him going through the news paper.
” Good morning Dad” I greeted

He looked up at me and smiled.
” Good morning rose, how was your night”

” Fine dad, thank you”
” You look beautiful rose” he said looking at me lu$tfully.

I felt uncomfortable.
” Hmmm.. your breakfast is ready” i said.

” Okay dear, am coming” he said.
I nodded my head and left.

What is wrong with Dad?
For the past few weeks he has been looking at me seductively.

Is he lusting after me?.

Oh merciful God.
Please save me.

I got to the dinning.
” Where were you? Mum asked eating.
” I went to call Dad” i said.

” You can have your breakfast and when you are done I have some clothes in my room..you will wash it for me” she said.

” But mum…i just washed some clothes yesterday” I said.

” Keep quiet fool..just do as I say” she said angrily.

I sighed.
I sat down to eat my food.
” And what are you trying to do? She asked.
” I want to eat” i said.

” You mean you want to sit down here and eat? She asked.

” Yes mum, is something wrong??

” Something is wrong with you.. will you get out of here and eat in your room before dish the food on your head ,you fool” she yelled angrily.

I took the food and went to my room.
Tears dropped from my eyes.

If only my parents were alive I wouldn’t be here today suffering.

Mum, dad why did you leave me?
Death why?
Why did you took my parents away from me?

Why does it have to be me?

Mom and dad made lots of promises to me but couldn’t fulfil it.

Why??

I wept silently.

? Mrs Raymond ?
” Nath, for how long will you keep living this way? I asked.
” No one ever wished for this to happen but it has happened and there is nothing we can do” i said.

He kept quiet.
” You cant continue like this Nath, it’s been three years, three good years since Sara left”

” Mum please” he said coldly.

I sighed.
” Nath, this kids need motherly care and love” i said trying to convince him.

” So? I can give it to them” he said.

” No Nath, you can’t fill the place of a mother in their lives” i said.

” Mum I don’t want to have this conversation anymore” he said.

” Just take a look at yourself Nathan, you have become so cold hearted since Sara left. You were once a loving and caring husband and great son to us but now ? Nathaniel please you can’t continued like this.. you deserve to be happy” I said.

” I lost my happiness the day Sara left me” he yelled walking again.

” Nath, Nath” I called.

I sighed.

I really don’t like seeing my son like this.
I know he is still hurt but it’s been three years.
I understand he loves Sara so much and we all loved her but..
There was nothing we could do about it.

I really felt sorry for Nathaniel.
He is going through a lot.

If he keeps acting this way.
What about his two kids?

What will happen to them.
They couldn’t receive mother’s love and now father’s love??
