I am just six years and I am left alone in this world. I know nothing about death but missing my parents alone is a whole issue on its own.
Mum's room was as it was in the morning. Nothing shows mum will not come back.
I laid on the bed in my parent's room. I was just remembering our great memories together. Having fun on the park every Saturday, our great parties in the house and being pampered like a princess.
Oohh yes! I was my parent's princess. There is nothing that I lack. I loved my parents so much.
.................................
Ana entered the room.
"Serena come down. Your uncle's want to see you"
"My uncles? Who are they? I don't know anybody not even you. How am I supposed to trust you. Where are my parents? Why are you all here? My parents won't agree with you if they should come find out that their house is full of strangers who claim my parents are dead". I replied with tears in my eyes.
"Sweetheart mum and dad will always be with you. They are all in heaven and will be looking after you. They will protect you as they always do. They love you so much. Stop crying".
She hugged me tightly as I felt her tears dropping on me.
I resumed my crying chapter 2.
"Stop crying baby. I am here ok. I will cater for you".
"No!! I don't like you".
"Stop being stubborn you little brat".
I was taken aback. Isn't she the one crying with me just now? Why did she change all of a sudden? I realized if I don't take care I might get slapped. I kept quite and followed her as she dragged me along to the living room.
When we got down to the living, everybody was looking at me as if I just came down from heaven.
Mike, my granddad then told me Ana will be my guardian from now. I looked up to Ana. She was smiling.
As she is kind enough. I pray I get treated nicely in my own parent's house.
I just nodded at what grandpa said. According to their tradition, Ana is to come and stay in the house and cater for me like a mother.
My life is about to change and I hope it won't be bad. I pray I will be happy as I have previously been.

After 3 weeks
The burial day came and family and love ones came around. I didn't really feel what was actually going on but all I know is I miss my parents so much and I want to see them. I want to be with them all my life. But what I wasn't aware of is that death will come whether I like it or yes.
After that day, the house suddenly became sound and quite with the exception of the noise from Ana's kids, Kwame who is 16 and Charity who is 12. Her husband, Gabby is a government worker, A teacher as a matter of fact and Ana herself is a trader.
My parents profits on their numerous companies is now channeled to Ana and her husband since she is to cater for me until I'm of age to take over.
Life is really good to some people but not everyone. Am I really going to get all those properties back?
