Chapter 7

Ferracco

A huge smile broke out on my face when l saw her standing on the other side of the road. She flashed me her usual sweet smile and the smile on my face widened.

I began to wave at her excitedly and she waved back smiling. After school , l had cleaned the house to perfection and eagerly waited for her.

Today was my birthday and the two of us always celebrated under a candlelit dinner. She was holding a small basket and l knew it nestled my birthday cake and other surprise gifts.

My favourite cake was chocolate flavoured and she always bought it for me on this day. It was dark and the road was deserted . There was no traffic as it was a small road in a small country town.

She began to cross the road. Head lights flashed in her face. I saw a black car speeding towards her at an insane speed.

"Mother!," l screamed and ran towards her.
