Away From Life

From The Beginning

*Cindy POV*

I felt a little reluctant to drive into my aunt mansion, knowing well that I will have to stay with her till my life gets together.

I know my aunt will be glad to accommodate me but I still think we are already bothering her with our family issues.

"Cindy"I see my aunt waving at me to drive in..

I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't even notice my aunt is already at the entrance with the gate wide open.
 
I drove in and stopped the car making less sound..

I fell into my aunt warm embrace and felt relaxed..

"Thanks for accommodating me" I said to Aunty Grace.

She helped me took my baggages in and took me to my room upstairs.

The room looks girly painted pink and largely decorated with pink wallpaper..

Keep wondering how my aunt made so much money but I guessed she inherited it as my dad..

Well, I'm from a very wealthy family if I'm not sounding arrogant..

My grandparents were very rich so my dad and my aunt had a lot to inherit...Paternal if am not being specific.

My aunt refused to get married cause she thinks she has all she wanted without a man by her side..she seems arrogant,I think.

Back to my own shattered world,my life seems to be drifting apart in my own very eyes.

I still don't know why my mum thinks she needs a divorce and dad isn't bothered by that..

But is really affecting me negatively...Having to live the rest of my life between splitting parents..

And then I remembered last night before packing my luggages into the booth of my car..

Mum roaming the whole house murmuring to herself something I didn't catch more like whispering...

"Is the paper ready?" I heard her screamed into the phone..

"Then get it here first thing tomorrow morning" she barked further looking like an angry dog..

Dad just sat at the couch near the entrance staring into the magazine on his laps.

"I can't wait to get the hell out of this house". Mum shouted at no one in particular..

"Cindy"  l heard my dad's voice downstairs.

I came crawling down the stairs like a toddler in his first stage of crawling..My knees hurt but I didn't mind..

All I saw in my dad's eyes were pure anger looking like he can explode any moment from now..

I waited patiently for the next line of actions but it seems like waiting till eternity cause dad seems like cracking his brain for what to come out next..I know he his angry but he needs to calm just to lemme know what to do next..

After ten minutes that seems like eternity to me...My Dad brought out his phone I dialed a number I wasn't chanced to see before putting the phone next to his left ear..

After ringing for few seconds,I heard a lady's voice from the other side of the phone... If am not mistaken,that has to be my aunt..

Yes I guessed right when my dad mentioned her name..

"Grace, she will be with you tomorrow morning. Make her comfortable" My Dad told his sister..

I look confused cause I don't have an idea who is going to be with aunt Grace the next morning..

But it dawned on me when my dad told me to pack every of my belongings cause I will be moving in with aunt Grace the following morning...

Is not like I don't like aunt Grace but I don't know why I have to move in with her when it's not for my vacation...I remembered I stayed with her through my last vacation..

"She isn't staying with your sister" my mum loud voice brought me back to life.

"She mustn't be part of this" dad fired back at her..

"So she had to stay with your sister and not even one of my own family member" mum said sounding way harsh than I can imagine..

"Yes"

"You must be out of your mind David" my mum thundered calling my Dad by his real name..

"Enough of this" I shouted at both of them if my thin pitch voice could be call a shout..

I ran upstairs with tears on my eyes not minding what they might be going through..

I packed every of my luggages including the soft teddy mum got me on mother's day...

I couldn't sleep the whole night thinking about what life has in stuck for me....

"Dinner is ready" Aunt Grace called out..But I don't even feel like eating...

I changed into something more better and packed my books ready for school the next day being Monday.. I don't even know how I will cope with my studies and am afraid my teachers might get notice being the top student...

I just had to hide everything in my bedroom before leaving for school the next morning and wear my ever glowing happy face..

But Winny, my best friend can tell my mood just by looking at my face...I can't  keep this from my best friend...She deserves to know my present predicament...

"Cindy, the food will get cold" my aunt said knocking at my bedroom door. I opened the door and staggered out the room and made my way down the stairs not minding to check if she is still walking behind me.......
