Mummy I got you a new husband

SELENE’S POV

I was so delighted after the surprise that morning as I wasn’t really expecting a birthday present. The past couple of days had been hectic for both of us. From Mummy losing her job to us losing our home and everything I was not sure mummy would be able to afford a birthday present and to my amazement, she did and I could barely contain my joy.

After the surprise, mummy got so engrossed in her phone and I was wondering if mummy has gotten another job probably as a Customer care service provider because her phone kept buzzing and been in and out the house for the most of the morning.

I could not help but wonder and decided to ask her about it.

” Mummy, did you get another job?” I questioned her as I walked to where she was. She had just ended one of the numerous phone calls she has been on for most of the morning.

” No baby, why are you asking?” She asked back peering into my eyes for answers.

” Well, you have been on the phone for most of the morning and I was thinking you got a job as a customer care service provider.” I said and she laughed and I wondered if what I said was funny.

” I just have some errands to run and some issues I need to deal with.” She responded still giggling and hurried off to pick another call as her phone rang again. I decided to let her do the adult business and I focus on school instead. I left for my room and picked up my notes to get busy with school work.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I soon got busy and decided to the do my assignment from school that seemed so complicated and I soon got exhausted from cracking my head to solve it and asked my mum for help.

” Mummy can you help me with this sums?” I asked her when I couldn’t seem to get the sum right. Mummy ended her call and came right to help me.

” It’s not difficult baby, this is how you should do it.” She responded as she showed me what to do.

” Thank you mummy I said as I continued with the assignment. Shee stared at what I was doing and when she was sure I was getting it right, she rushed up to attend to other things and soon enough I had gotten the sums over with.

Mummy came back minutes later informing me I had to hurry up, that we had to be somewhere.

” Baby, you should hurry with the assignment and have a shower, we have to be somewhere in a moment.” She said as she walked to pick some stuffs from the kitchen. I was done when she came back and hurried off to have a bathe

It was almost noon when l got ready and mummy hurried to get ready too. She has gotten me a new dress and it was delivered at the house as soon as she has gotten ready. and asked that I tried it on.

It looked so perfect and I loved it. My birthday could not be any better.

” Thank you so much Mummy, this is perfect. I love you. I said as I stared at my reflection in the mirror and soon raced to embrace her. She kissed me and let out a heavy sigh and muttered some words in my ears that made me smile even more.

” You know I could do anything for you baby.” She said as we hugged and soon enough, mummy phone beeped and she soon let go of the embrace to check it.

The message seemed important and it looked like it was good news as she beamed with smiles at the sight of it. She kept the phone as she was done reading the message and motioned for me to hurry and get ready.

” We should get going.” She mouthed after reading the message from her phone, mummy had packed some of our stuffs earlier and and I wondered if we were traveling. I had asked her about it.

” Mummy where are we headed?” I asked her curious about where we were going too. She chuckled and looked at me again.

” We have to be somewhere my dear, dnt worry about it.”She responded trying to gather the stuffs she had parked. We headed outside the house where a car was waiting for us.

“How is it that a car is taken us to where we are headed?” I thought to myself, wondering why but I knew better than to quiery Mummy about it as I knew she was still going to ask me to wait. I decided to wait to see what the outcome would be.

As we arrived at the car at the entrance, my gaze met with Aunt Lois eyes, she was staring at us suspiciously from her flat. It was rather unlike her to watch from a distance and not saying anything but that was what she did do and I was not ready to worry about what she did or did not do.

” Our stuffs are in the house, could you help us so we could get them?”mummy asked the man who seemed to be our driver to where we were headed.

” You would not be needing that.” he replied signifying we did not need anything to go to where we were headed. Atonished by his response, mummy pulled him to the side to talk to him, they spoke for a while while I watch them

” You dnt need any of that, He specially asked you picked nothing from the house.” I heard him say as they were talking. i tried not too eavesdrop but I could not help my curiosity. After arguing and trying to make a phone call mummy eventually agreed and we left.

” I hope for the very best.” I muttered trying to let go of my fears and hoping for the best.
