🤎💨PATH💨🤎 (WHY OUR PATH CROSSED)

CHAPTER TWO: PATH (Why our paths crossed)

Nessa is seated on the bed, studying with a tired face. In front of her is her best friend Valerie, disturbing the entire room with her horrible voice.

"How was the performer's girlfriend?" Valerie asked after she was done singing.

"I don't even know what to say, Val. I didn't even pay attention to it," she said truthfully.

Valerie sat on the couch angrily. "This is the 6th time I'm singing, and you still didn't pay attention towards me?" She said angrily.

"Am sorry, Val. It won't happen again," Nessa said, posing a cry-baby face.

"Stop apologizing. This time, I'm not gonna forgive...... Am deeply hurt," she said truthfully.

"Pls na...... Am I no longer your baby again??.... Pls am sorry....... Forgive me," she pleaded with her two hands on her ears as she did the Indian style of begging.

Val smiled and said to her, "I hate you, big head."

"I hate you too, bigger head," Nessa replied with a smile, as they gave each other a best friend hug.

A little introduction

My name is Nessa SUMJU DAV. I'm the only child of my parents........ That's my beastie, Valerie. Val and I have been friends since high school and still counting. We both gained admission in the same university, thank God.... But in terms of career, we are different; I want to be a lawyer, and Val wants to be a singer. I don't know the reason she chose that, but trust me, when it comes to singing, Val is not so good in it.... Don't know how to tell her that singing is not her calling...... I bet if I were in a coma now and Val was asked to sing to bring me back to life, hmmm! Trust me, I won't make it..... before she starts singing, I will be long gone lolzzzz... Enough of teasing my friend............ Val is the kind of friend everyone will love to have..... What a sweet soul, that's the reason I will always help her out in whatever she finds herself doing.

Back to reality

"Why are your things packed?? Going somewhere?" Val asked.

"Yeah! It's the weekend..... I need to go see the angel that brought me into this world," she replied, referring to her mom.

"Hmmm! Come back soon, big head! Am gonna miss you.... Aren't you going home to visit your parents?? It's been 3 week she last saw them," she said to calm her.

"I know, dear, but my parents travelled out.... will go see them when they come back," she replied, lying on the bed.

"Awwn...... It's fine. I will be away for 3 days...... Make sure you are fine, bigger head."

"Of course, chicken......"

Bryan arrived at his mansion. He was welcomed by his mom and younger sister.

"You have grown so big, Gina," he said, admiring his younger sis.

"Truth be told, Gina got the perfect shape. She's thick, beautiful, and got big bum..... You can see I have been taking proper care of your sister......" his mom said with a smile.

Bryan nodded his head with a smile. "Guess you got visitors, I will get the maid to prepare rooms for your guest," his mom said again.

"That will be better," he said as he entered the house.

Nessa was already at her parents' mansion. A knock came from her door.

"Come in," she said as she stopped whatever she was doing.

Her mom walked in. "Mom," she called happily as she stood from the bed to embrace her.

"When, since she arrived in the mansion, she hasn't seen her mom."

"Where have you been??" She asked her mom with a sad face.

"Sorry, hun, just wanted to attend to your dad before coming to see you...... How have you been? And school???" Fine, fine, Mama, and you??? Same here," her mom replied.

"Hope dad hasn't laid his hands on you since I left???" No, baby, we have been cool...... Can I ask you a question?? Yes, mom.... If I told you you are getting married soon, how will you feel??? Sad!!! In fact, that can't be..... Why??? Her mom asked.

"I don't want to get married; I just want to live a single and happy girl life with you by my side.......... Mom, try and understand; grandpa and grandma had a failed marriage, and you, dad, beats the hell out of you every day..... If being married will end my life, then I want to stay single....... And don't worry, mom, it's because of you I'm studying law at school. How?? Mom said with a questioning face.

"I want to file for a divorce between you and dad, and I will be the one in charge of your case," I said with a smiling face.

"You don't have to do that, baby," mom said to me.

"But mom, I......" I was cut off when I saw someone at the door.

"Nes, her you okay??" Mom asked since she didn't get any response from me.

She turned her back when she saw the worst nightmare of her life - "dad."

"Dickson," mom called when she saw him pull off his belt and walk towards us.

"No, I hope he didn't hear us, Dickson, Dickson. Please don't do that, please, please," mom pleaded as dad raised his belt.

The next second, the belt landed on mom's back. I stood there and couldn't do anything. This is what I have been going through all my life. When anything happens, mom is the one to be blamed and beaten.

"How dare you poison my daughter's mind against me?? You want a divorce, right?" He said all this as he continued hitting mom.

"Dad, please stop it, that's enough!! Mom has nothing to do with what I said earlier. Please let her go."

"Nessa, go___ go away," mom said to me. "That's always her words to me whenever she's being hit by dad, but this time I'm not going anywhere.

"If anyone is to be beating, that should be me, not mom. Dad, I'"If anyone is to be beating, that should be me, not mom. Dad, I'm telling you, let mom go,"I said to him as I held him.

He didn't even listen to me. This time, I held his hand, but the next thing that happened was totally not what I expected. Dad pushed me unaware, making me hit my head so hard on the bed edge before lying on the floor.

""Nessa! Nessa, can you hear me? Dickson, Nessa is bleeding on her head......" That's all I heard mom say before passing out.
