Hope

I woke up around midnight,the dream was just too much to handle.I struggled to get some sleep so I decided to get coffee and do my school work.I wore my gown and went downstairs.I got to the kitchen and my dad was already there,having a snack.

Me:Hey Dad

Him:Hey stranger.Its laterally 2 am,why are you awake?

Me:I had a bad dream.

Him:Mind sharing it?

Me:I don't remember what It was all about but I was in a desert,tired,hungry and thirsty.

I did not want to tell him every detail.

Him:That's all you remember?

Me:Yes

Him:How was that charity event?

Bathong,he should know.He was there.

Me:...

Him:Hope?

Me:Baba you should know,akere you are sleeping with Lorato's mother.

I snapped,oops!

Him:...

Him:What are you talking about?

Me:Dad you are cheating on mom with Lorato's mother.I saw you guys kissing.

Him:...

Me:Either you tell mom or I do but I wont sit around and watch this.Your adultery is costing my frienship with my friend dad[my voice was quavering.]

Him:Hope,I don't want to hurt your mother.

Me:What? Awusamfuni?

Him:Not like that Hope.You wont understand.

ME:No make me.
