Continuing from where I stopped

When I entered, he pretended as if he wasn’t crying, I acted as if I didn’t see him either and moved closer to where he was, after seating without hesitation he quickly pulled a chair next to me and sat.  I got terrified after sitting I waited for him to say a word but nothing.

I told him that I was there to see him because he called me, and then he said that he just wanted to sit with me. Well, I sat there for almost an hour just using my phone and then suddenly he took my hand and told me important words and warned me that I shouldn't take it for granted.

He told me how much he loves me and how I made him like a father the moment I entered their home. He told me how they have tried severally to have a baby but they can’t and that’s why they have decided to adopt me. Then he asked me great things; to take him as my real father and that as time goes, he will try his best to become a parent.

I started crying, I didn’t know what to do or say I just stood up and before I could do anything he held my hands and looked me in the eyes and wiped my tears and asked me to be a good daughter even if he is not a very good father.

He let me out and I ran straight to my room and got out the book where I write my story and started writing every word tears falling. After I fell asleep, I woke up again in the morning when it was ready for school.

I got ready and I found my driver waiting for me and drove off to the campus I rolled down the window for the fresh air I was really tired I had not rested well in the past days but the good thing is that the next day would be Saturday so I planned to rest well.

The day at school went well and I remembered I have to go to  KIST University and I was still new in my first year.

On Friday I came home and found visitors in the living room I didn’t want to join them so I used the back door and went to the room took a shower and talked to one of my friends from school on the phone. Later in the evening one of the maids knocked on my door and told me that my mom said that I should not disturb them in the living room since they were having a meeting so I should eat and go to bed that I was to meet them the next morning.

She also told me that my mom told her to ask me what I wanted to eat so that they can cook it, I told her to take whatever was available but the girl insisted so I told her to make chips. "I think you’re as well laughing at me."  Well, I didn’t know what else to answer because according to where I grew eating chips for the meal was a big deal so I had to eat it. I also asked her to add on fried meat and Juice.

When she left my room, I took the bible and started reading after some time they brought my food, I ate, prayed went to bed.

My parents woke me the next morning I was surprised to see them there. I woke up, it was already one in the afternoon they told me that they were worried about me. My father hugged me tight, probably there was something that was going on I didn’t know. They told me to get ready and come downstairs for lunch.

After getting ready I joined my parents for lunch as we were eating, they told me that they had plans to go somewhere so I was supposed to stay at home and clean their room, after eating they left together in the car but they didn’t take a driver.

Quickly after eating I took everything that I needed to clean my parent’s room and I entered and started. After cleaning I opened the wardrobe and started arranging their clothes, as I was hanging some clothes, behind the hangers I saw something………
