Chapter 26

  My heart skipped a bit when I sighted him sitting on the double seater couch, his gaze fixed on the newspaper in this hands.

  "I swallowed all the saliva I could gather and walked up to him "Good morning Dad" I greeted, he looked up and smiled a little before replying my greeting.

  "Good morning my dear, you are back already?" He asked and I nodded fiddling with my shirt and wondering what could be going on in his mind. Maybe he was hatching a punishment to give me or something else.

  "Rhoda when did you start going to parties and even staying out the whole night" he asked, closing his papers and sitting up, his gaze fixed on my face.

  "I...I ...wa..s invited by a friend to his sister's birthday party but I didn't know the wine I took was alcoholic so I got drunk and a friend took me home" I stuttered, my heart beating faster than normal. I do not like it when my father gets angry and not when am the cause.
