Amirah POV
“Mom . are you awake ?” I ask for the second time looking at her as she stares at me with a weak smile . Her health has greatly depreciating if recent due to how sick she has been . I am so grateful that this operation has been successful .
I stood staring at her as tears started to roll down my eyes. It is of course something that I did not want to do since she has so many times in the past told me that she does not want to see me crying but what can I do . I have mixed feeling at the moment . I have feelings of sadness due to how she appears but at the same time I am so happy that the operation has been successful .
I tried to dry my tears so quickly so that she would not see that I was crying but it was too late since she has already seen the fact that I was crying .
“What is the matter , my daughter ?” she asked me weakly but of course any one could detect the too much concern and love that is in that tone of voice .
“Mom …Mom …MOM!!!”I would not help it any more . I started slowly by slowly close the gap between where the bed is to where I am standing .In just a nick of time I am right at her bed post once again this time not at any one point willing to let her hand free.
“Mom , I am so happy that you are now operated on .”I lament this time trying to hold back my tears which of course is very hard but I am some how able to do it .
“Yes, this is all thanks to you my girl .” she answered squeezing my hand even more .
“By the way …where did you get the money to sponsor my operation ?” she asked me the question for sure I was not ready for at that moment . I stared at my mother in an attempt to buy some time so that I can try to see what to answer without actually making her get worried but she was not yet to end just there , she was going to ask again .
“Babe, don’t tell me that you got a loan just to have me operated on . My daughter , you have been getting so many loans the last couple of years just for me , no . Just tell me that that is not what you did .” I stared at my mother wondering what was the right thing to tell her .
Was it right for me to tell her the real truth of her I got this money or perhaps go with her thought . I just have no idea about that . I had to be very careful so that I would not cause much more disaster like that which was already in existence .
“No mom , nothing like that .” I told her the real truth since the money that I had used was not anything like a loan .
“Then where did you get the money ?” my mother was not just about to stop this I would see But of course I could not blame her at all . This is all because she cares about me so much .
“Okay , I wanted to keep this good news for later but I guess it will not wait any more . Let me get on to tell you .” I say .
“I got a job promotion and the first wish that my boss grated me was a salary increment and hence…the operation .” I would not believe how I had managed to tell such clean lies to my mother but what could I do , that was the best thing that I had to do .
That is how everything was . Mom was to stay under observation for 48 hours before she would be taken back home . You could not believe how the days flew and before any one would say jack Robinson, it was the day …the day that I had no idea how I was going to hand . I was now going to finally begin working with that jack .
“Don’t forget that your mother is now okay because of him .” My subconscious groans at me but I just ignore her . I think I have so much that I need to handle other than paying attention to her .
I kept folding and un folding all the different clothes that I have sincerely not seeing which clothes I would put on for my first day as I am officially going to begin working with my ex. Yes, he is my ex and a bitter one so if you are perhaps thinking that I still feel something for him or something like that then I can assure you that you are completely wrong .
What will be putting us together once again is the fact that he owe him a very big amount of money and that is what I have to do to make sure that I am able to pay him on time . The next three hours moved just like that as I had not actually even done anything serious at all. I had not even come up with what I was going to wear .
Completely defeated , I fell back on the bed like some one was actually going to sort the clothes out for me . Out of the bed, my phone vibrated indicating that there was an incoming message . I was quick to get it as it was from an unknown number .
“Ensure to get to work early , I hate late comers and they are always punished .”
Though I was lying back on the bed, there was no way I would not sit up at this message …what a jerk.
