Hidden Dreams

Episode 35

That night I went back to my room with a lot of thoughts. ” what the hell is going on with you Angela?” I asked myself a million times.
” with my father?” I shook my head confused.

“I got to go to Zambia” I thought aloud and got my phone to call for a reservation for the next flight.

The following day I sat in the plane, my sister and mother had come with me. I sat quietly my mind busy trying to think about what was going on back home.

” I will not rest until I know what is going on with you love. I swear you will have to face me whether you like it or not. ” I thought to myself as the plane took off.

By the time we touched down at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, there where a lot of people to welcome me. Who ever had leaked the information to the media houses that I was going home, they really got me.

I never planned it to be so but I had no option but walk out of the plane to the shouting and cheering faces of Zambians. The flashes from the cameras blinding me for a second.
I smiled at everyone raising my hand as my mother whispered me to acknowledge and appreciate them.
” don’t show them your inner struggles. Smile and wave your hand to the people who look at you as their hero My son” she whispered.

I was surrounded by a lot of people asking questions, taking videos and photos and by the time my assistant got me out of the crow d, I felt a bit tired.
“Rest tonight and then you will go on to your house tomorrow” Jeff my assistant told me.
I had decided not to go straight home.
I needed time to compose myself so that when I finally face my father and find out what he knew about Angela I would be ready for him.

I took a look at the photos I had taken of her the last time we were together, as lay in bed.
” I promised to come back for you my woman, so here I am and I swear I will find you myself” I whispered and kissed the phone screen before falling asleep.
