Tears flows for several reasons. Why do you cry? 
"What did you just say? You sold my parents house? Why?"was all Serena could ask her wicked uncle.

Uncle Kojo repiled after slapping her " its a family property so i choose to do anything with it. Why do you ask a stupid question like that? 

Now an orphan with no where to sleep. Life is really terrible for Serena but she became strong enough to face the world. Success came her way because of her determination and hardwork until she found real love.

Enjoy.

TEARS

I always pray to God to protect my family but never knew something of tgis sort could ever happen to my family. 


I didn't dream of being left alone in this world. 


I entered my class with Clara after launch. Mr Clark was in the class whem I entered. He had a sad look on his face. The class was very quite. 


"Serena, follow to the staff common room" he said before leaving the class. 


I look at Clara with a confused look. She asked me to do as the teacher said. 


I asked him "Sir , please what is it? Is everything ok?" 


All the teachers in the common room were looking at me. 


The next word that could come out of his mouth was. "Serena sit with me. Today might be the last day you will see mum and dad". 


I just smiled at him with less understanding to what he said. 


I replied him smiling," daddy will come and pick me up this evening. Mum went to the office. My parents will never leave me". 


After I could finish talking, insane tears streaming down his face. 


I extendedmy little hand to wipe away his tears but he pulled me to himself and hugged me hard as if I was going to vanish. 


I don't understand what Is going on. Can someone explain this to me?. 


"Your parents won't come for you today. Aunty Ana will come for you because your parents are not around today". He told me. 


"Who is Aunty Ana? Where is she coming from? She is not part of my family. " 


Mr Clark then said "She is your dad's sister. Ok. She will explain things to you later on. You are so young to know. Go back to class and end the session for today. Take care." 


At exactly 3.30pm a woman in a black cloth walked to me. "I'm Ana your Aunt. I'm here to pick you up since daddy and mymmy5are not around to do so". 


I just look at her strangely. We got to a car that looks exactly like one of my dad's cars. I sat in it wondering why this woman has my dad's car. 


We got to our house. There were plenty people on the compound, sitting room and the backyard with most people in black. Some have tears on their faces and all. I asked Ana,"what is going on in my house? Where are my parents? Who are these people? What are they doing here? Talk to me " I started crying. I was scared for a reason I don not know. 


Shouting, she replied," they are dead you little spoilt brat. They died in an accident this morning and don't ask me anything again. Stupid girl". 


What? Why did she call me brat? What did i do wrong? 


What did she just say about my parents? DEAD????? 


Unbelievable. They cannot die just like that. 


I pass by everyone and run to mum's room but it is as it was in the morning. Nothing shows mum is dead.
