BECKY’S HOUSE
(SITTING ROOM)
:
The question I asked lingered in the
air for a moment without getting any
response.
“Someone should say something
please,” I pleaded but there was still
no answer, so I hissed loudly and
walked out on them, heading to my
room…
:
In my room, I sat on the edge of my
bed with my elbows supporting my
chin. I felt no one cared about me
anymore though I don’t know why I
felt that way but I guess something
must have triggered the feeling. I
turned and picked up my father’s
photograph from my bedside table
and soon tears began to flow from
my eyes and before I myself knew it,
I was crying loudly(you know that
type of cry that would make one pity
you? Yes, that was the type of cry I
had cried in my room that very day).
Just then, there was a knock on my
door. I looked up and fixed my gaze
at the closed door.
“Becky, please come out, I’m sorry,
don’t do anything to harm yourself in
there,” Mom’s voice pleaded from
outside but I dropped the photo and
lay on my bed and soon fell asleep…
:
My alarm clock and God woke me up
the next day(without God, you can
never hear the ringing of the alarm
clock, smiles). My alarm was the type
that also showed one date and what
day it was. Iu was a bright saturday
morning and the sun rays was
already shining into my room
through the window. Saturday’s
were always very busy to me. I know
some of you must have already
concluded that my mom over
pampered me but it’s a lie sha
because since I was still schooling,
she did all the house chores on
weekdays while I did mine on
saturday’s and sundays but that
weekend was special coz as I walked
out of my room that morning,
everywhere looked sparkling clean
and there was breakfast sef.
I was even more surprised when
mom decided to bath me herself
(hmm, mothers, when you are sick,
they treat you like an egg, shout out
to the mothers all over the world
).
After I had finished bathing, mom
carried me into the room herself.
“Mr Peters, Eric’s father would be
coming today with Eric to explain
how Eric became your brother and to
also tell remind us of the agreement
we had,” she said and wiped a tear
from her eyes.
I dropped container of pears baby
lotion cream which I held in my
hands on the floor and stared at
mom. “Father is dead, he died long
ago. Who then is Eric and mr.Peters?”
I wanted to know
“It’s a family secret I hid from you
and I think it’s high time I let the cat
out of the bag,” She replied and
stood up, then walked to the door.
“Mom!” I called as she held the door
handle, making her stop and turn to
face me. “I just hope it isn’t really
something that’d make me very sad
coz if it is, I might not be able to
forgive you.”
“I know Becky but I can only hope
and pray that everything turns out
right,” she concluded and left the
room, closing the door behind her,
gently as if closing the door hard
would make it cry or something.
I stared at the closed door for few
more seconds before picking up the
cream container.
As I applied the cream on my skin
and even while I dressed up, so
many silly thought’s began to flow
into my mind. The thoughts took my
mind back to the hospital where the
doctor had said that “I had hit a
delicate part of my brain when I fell.”
I suddenly bursted into laughter
which had Nath running into my
room. Immediately Nath entered, I
quickly covered my breast with my
wrapper since I had only wore my
three-quarter shorts.
I shot Nath an angry look, “Hey mr
man, what if I was completely
naked?”
“I’m sorry,” Nath smiled and sat on
my bed, making the mattress sink as
he sat. “You know my room is close
to yours, so I was worried when you
suddenly bursted into laughter,” he
added.
“Oh!” I chuckled. “Just thinking and
wondering how someone can
possibly hit his/her brain when the
brain is inside the head,” I said and
sat beside him, still holding my
wrapper.
Nath seemed to get my point, so he
grinned widely, “You know mom
even had to go remind her outside
that it’s called amnesia which I guess
she didn’t know.”
“Some doctors sef, abeg leave my
room, I want to dress,” I stood up and
knotted my wrapper, then pulled
him up and pushed him to the door.
“Be careful so you don’t fall and hit
your brain o,” Nath laughed.
I laughed too, “Why did you come
running sef?”
“I thought you had suddenly gone
crazy na, like falling and hitting your
brain again.”
“Silly you,” I chuckled again and
pushed him playfully out of the room
but as he made to walk away,
something struck me and I called
him back. “Who is Eric and
Mr.Peters?” I asked, looking at him
directly in the eyes but his faced
changed and he held my hands and
led me back into the room…

What agreement did Becky’s mom
have with Eric’s dad???
