Episode 05.
?Rose?
” What is wrong with Nathan? He is just so stubborn” mum said.
” Let’s go meet him” Dad said.
They both stood up and went up the stairs.
” Ma’am rose, are you going to be living here with us? Angel asked.
” Yes Angel” i said with a smile.
” Am happy you will be taking care of us now” Mabel said in her tiny voice.
I smiled.
Mum and Dad came down.
She sighed and sat down beside Mabel and Angel.
” Angel, Mabel this is rose and she will be staying here to look after you because am travelling soon and your dad might be very busy” mum said.
” Okay Grandma” Angel said.
” But your dad doesn’t want her to stay, he doesn’t want her to take care of you” mum said.
Angel and Mabel frowned.
” Why? Angel asked.
” I just don’t know, he just doesn’t want anyone to look after you, he doesn’t want anyone to live here with you” mum shrugged.
” I know dad doesn’t love us” Mabel said.
” Don’t say that princess, Dad, he loves you” I said.
” Let’s go meet him” Angel said.
They both stood up and went up stairs.
? Nathaniel ?
How could mum and dad just bring a stranger to my house and they want her to start living here in the name of looking after the kids.
Who told them I can’t look after my own kids?
Uhn?
Angel and Mabel came in frowning.
” What’s wrong” i asked.
” Dad, why don’t you want her to stay? Mabel asked.
” Who?
” Ma’am rose” Angel said.
I sighed.
” I just don’t want her to stay” i said.
” Dad why? Mabel asked.
” I just don’t want her to stay here” i half yelled.
They flinched ” Dad?
I sighed ruffling my hair.
” Am sorry” i apologized trying to touch them.
They moved away from me.
” Angel I..
” Don’t touch me Dad, you are selfish, you only care about yourself, you don’t care about us at all” she said tears threatening to drop from her eyes..
” Angel I care about you” i said trying to convince them.
” No dad you don’t, you don’t care about us and you don’t love us either. Grandma is traveling and you will be busy with your work, who will be here to look after us? She yelled.
” I can look after you” i said.
” Really? She scoffed.
I sighed.
” You can’t dad you will be busy with your work” Mabel yelled.
” Why don’t you let’s ma’am rose stay? Angel asked.
” She just can’t stay” i said.
” Dad you promised to do whatever we want” Mabel said.
” I know I promised you but not this” i said.
” We don’t have mum and ma’am rose want to take care of us like our mum but you won’t let her stay. I hate you dad. I hate you” Angel yelled with tears Rolling down her cheeks.
She ran of out of the room.
“Even I don’t want to talk to you ever again” Mabel said running out of the room.
I ruffled my hair angrily.
I just upset my kids when I thought they are beginning to believe that I love them.
Then mum brought a lady and they all want me to accept her.
It hurts to see my kids cry.
They are my biggest strength and also my weakness.
It hurts so much to hear my daughter tell me she hate me.
I think it is better I let rose stay if it will make them happy.
I got out of the room
The children are not in the sitting room.
I got to the door.
They had locked it.
I knocked.
” Angel, Mabel please open this door” i said knocking.
” Go away dad, you don’t care about us” Angel yelled.
” I care about you please open the door” i said.
” No dad, we don’t want to talk to you” Mabel yelled.
” Please I have something to tell you. Just please open the door for daddy” i said.
Mabel opened the door.
She has been crying.
” Am sorry Mabel” i said cleaning her tears.
I walked in.
Angel is also crying.
I felt bad seeing them in tears.
“Am sorry Angel” i said.
She looked away.
I sighed.
” Okay Rose will stay and live here with us” i said.
Angel looked at me.
” Really? She asked.
” Yes, she will live here with us” I said.
” Thank you Dad, you are the best” Mabel said smiling.
” Really? I asked.
” Yes you are the best” Angel beamed.
I laughed and kssed their foreheads.
They smiled.
” We love you dad”
” I love you more”
They both ran out.
?Rose?
” Grandma, grandpa” we heard the kids voice running down the stairs.
They got to where mum is.
” Grandma, Dad has agreed, ma’am rose will be staying here with us” Angel said beaming.
” Really? Mum asked.
” Yes grandma” Mabel said while Angel nodded her head.
” And how did you convince your dad” mum asked.
They looked at each other.
” That is our little secret” they giggled.
Mum and dad smiled.
” Ma’am rose you are welcome to our house” Angel said smiling.
I smiled.
” Thank you Angel” I said.
” I guess the children convinced him, he couldn’t bear to see his children sad, we couldn’t convince him but his children did the magic” dad said.
Mum smiled.
” She can start living with us” we heard Nathaniel cold voice.
I turned.
” I only agreed for her to stay because of my kids and nothing more” he said.
” Thank you Dad” they children said smiling.
He smiled.
” Won’t you give dad a big kss” he asked smiling at them.
They both ran to him.
He squat to their level.
Mabel and Angel kssed his cheeks while he peck their forehead.
” You are the best ” they yelled smiling.
” And you are the best also” he said.
” Okay, Dad have to go somewhere now” he said walking also.
” Get something for us dad” Angel yelled.
” Of course I will”
He went out.
He really loves his children.
I smiled.
” Ma’am rose come let’s show you around” Angel said.
I smiled.
They are both adorable.
I stood up.
Mabel held my left hand while Angel held my right hand.
