Episode 44

“What are you doing here?” she eyed her sister with irritation.

“I live here. Remember?” she started to walk away.

She hissed and placed her hands on her curvy hips, “Just stay in your room, okay?”

She stopped and glanced back at her.

“Today is my introduction ceremony. Please stay out of sight.”

She stared back at her younger sister in astonishment. The twenty one year old in her 200 level in the university was getting married? Why didn’t anyone tell her? The thought that they didn’t want her present at the party disgusted her.

“Why are you just standing there? Go to your room!”

She knitted her brows in a frown. She didn’t like the way she was been spoken to. It was her parents’ fault. In order not to make a scene, she held her tongue, turned on her heels and strode off.

Once in the comfort of her bedroom, her safe haven, she dropped the bags on the blue and white tiled floor and headed straight to the bathroom. A warm bath might calm her fried nerves. She hoped.
