The Clear Difference

TOMIWA'S POV

             It was Monday evening, the rest of Saturday and Sunday have been terrible in this house but thanks to mum who encourage me daily. I was on my phone playing " car rider " ( a game), when I heard mum and dad shouting. I decided to eavesdrop, then I tiptoed to the stairs. "I have made my decision and that's final", my dad said. I wonder what decision that is. " what a stupid and irrational decision, if you are going to make such a decision not on my son ", mum replied. Definitely, this decision is all about me. " Stella, point of correction, our son, he's our son. But then you can call him your son if he's a bastard", dad replied angrily. I could see mum's eyes filled with tears as she pointed to dad " you just called our son a bastard and I, a prostitute". Dad just hissed and walked out while mum sat and was crying. I wanted to approach her and console her but my legs betrayed me as I walked to my room

    I sat on my bed as I was thinking of all I heard. I was concerned about my mum but I was mostly concerned about the decision that my dad made that mum didn't want me to do. I was about lying on my bed when my phone beeped. I moved closer to my phone as I saw it was a WhatsApp message from my girlfriend. I have a girlfriend whom we've been dating since my Junior school one. Tiwalade Johnson was a tall fair and beautiful girl

Babe we need to talk

Am sorry Darling, talk about? I replied her

  I missed you and I don't think you do. You've stopped calling and texting

If this girl knows what am facing right now she won't be talking about this

Am sorry Darling, I've just been busy

Busy for your girlfriend?

OK fine, let make it up to you. I will drop by at your home tomorrow and we will go out

Waoh, that's why you are the best baby. Ice cream right?

I was so damn tired of her request of ice cream anytime we go out but what can I do that what you get to do because you are dating.

  Alright, ice cream

That's why I love you See you tomorrow

   I read the text and then ignored because that what she does every time. Do I have to say I love you first.

Babe, won't you say you love me

Just what I said now why can't she use that text as I love text for me

I love you

Love you too babe

I dropped my phone on my bed as I planned to think about my life.

I could feel some one tapping me as I sleep, I didn't even know I slept off. I woke up and the first thing I saw was my mum red and swollen eyes. " mum was wrong", I said as my eyes were cleared instantly. " it's past twelve and your dad isn't back", she replied. I knew that with the way dad left this evening he's never going to be back today. There's absolutely nothing I could do so I just pulled my mum in for a hug.
