Ghost-full Episode 37 Come back home uncle Rasheed.... Sophie blurted with her soothing voice, she wore a pale and persuasive look on her face as she looked the other way making her request, I wanted freedom, alone time...I wanted to mix up with my padis and do other freedom stuffs a 27 year old graduate would want to do...I didnt want to be controlled or take care of unnecessary responsibilities ... I wanted to live my own life without anybody monitoring and giving me advices I dont need....all this was my reason for leaving home, we did not appear happy but deep inside we were grateful to have each other...a place with superiors and an instrument of authority puts limits to excesses... All this went on solemnly in my mind, all I wanted to do at that moment was to let them all know how much I missed and loved them wit every beat and bit of my agitating heart. Ill come home now... Who said I wont ?.. I replied to sophie in a very lively tone, I saw relief and a reason to confide in me in her eyes when deep in me I knew theres a lot going on and going home is very far from me, I just wanted to give her a reason to smile, a reason to lighten up and that I just succeeded in. She raised her arms again notifying me to put her on the solid ground, I lifted her again and gave her a very tight hug, I love you.. I whispered in her ears, she held me by the neck being the only part she could hold me, she almost strangled me but that I could live with, I love you uncle rasheed. She replied over my shoulder, I smiled and put on the ground, she turned around and followed my mum out of the enclosure. I raised my head towards my dad since it appeared to be a turn by turn commiseration, my dad stepped forward to the attached counter to lift it, his eyes were stationed at me and mine at him, my dad has never looked at me with such sympathy before, he raised the counter and walked up to me, he stared at me for a moment and looked like he was holding something back as he wrinkled his face, he kept his lips in his mouth and shivered all over, all of a sudden he grabbed me and gave me a tight hug, my dad has never hugged me before. He created an emotional scene when I felt wet droplets on my shoulder, my dad shedding tears for me was strange and beautiful, I felt loved and accepted, I felt forgiven for all my shortcomings and had a feel of inner peace for the first time in my life, I love you son he whispered. He released me and took a step back, reached for his hanky while his head was faced to the ground, he didnt want anyone to see him weep which was already obvious and it felt so good to know you mean something to everyone in your little family. He sniffed his nose as he wiped his eyes with his brown coloured hanky, he looked up facing me and took another deep breath like he was about to say something...which he was. Dami came home yesterday, we met her at the front gate when we got back from the hospital... she said shes pregnant and its yours...all her efforts to get rid of it was futile and would endanger her life and future so she was advised to have the baby.. she said its yours rasheed.. My dad said slowly and precisely, shes lying dad, shes a lair!!!... I responded quickly to defend my self, look rasheed, we aint disappointed son, youre no longer a kid and its not a crime if you have a kid...shes at home because her parents sent her packing... My dad replied... Quickly history flashed in my head, paybacks biatch huh, karma must fuqing make you pay...oh! What a phenomenon!!...life...who ever thought this could happen to me? My sister got pregnant for a guy but we except my mum didnt bother to get to know who was responsible, all my dad could think of was the shame his first daughter brought to him, he sent her packing without even knowing where she would go, not even my mum knew where she was...family members begged on her behalf but my dads head was stronger than a rock, he didnt listen...my mum cried everyday till her corpse and a baby was brought home by an hospital van...they explained her friend brought her to the hospital and absconded leaving my sisters home address...our house...it was a tragedy and the shame my dad tried to run away from came out in the open because the whole world knew the story we thought was a secret....men and ego!!!! I thought... Watch out for episode 38
