CONGRATULATIONS

" Cynthia stop that you are scaring her" then she turned to the maid saying "tell mom we will be down in fifteen"...

After the maid left I immediately stood up and started heading for the door I noticed Sonia wasn't following suit, I had to turn back and ask what the problem was and she said

"are you going down stairs dressed like that for dinner" I look at myself and wondered what was wrong before I could speak she said "no you aren't come on go change" I looked at her like she was an alien and said.."it really seems like your not hungry see you down stairs" with that I bolted out of the room running down stairs and sure enough she chased me shouting my name at the back....

When I got to the dinning room everyone was already seated my dad, mom and of course my only uncle I smiled brightly and said "Good evening everyone".. It was only my dad that replied I also didn't mind, I sat down and a maid immediately started serving me my mom's shrill stopped me from ogling at the spaghetti,sauce and meatballs a very normal meal "Cynthia is that how you greet your parents and what the hell are you wearing" I moved a finger to my lips and shushed her.

" shhhh we are in the dinning room about to eat don't go screaming about we don't want saliva being thrown into our food and please don't cuss that not etiquette you of all person's should know that lady" I huffed at the end of my speech, exactly at this time Sonia walked in i picked up my cutlery and started wolfing down my dish....

Ignoring the look of distaste I got from my mom I and everyone continued eating and we had a very pleasant dinner.

I stood up to leave when my dad suddenly spoke " Cynthia heard your back, how long will you be staying". I replied saying " Don't fret sir I'm not staying for long was thinking I'll stay for maybe two weeks but from the look of things I'm leaving tomorrow evening after Sonia meets are supposed suitor no one cared to tell me about".

Sonia immediately screamed "what " ..... My dad turned to my mom and asked her I thought you said you've informed her about it "... and she said " what's the fuss about I forgot but she still found out anyways, I see Sonia and her had some bounding time " My dad eyed her angryly and said. "Cynthia don't mind your mom as you can see she just forgot, that aside what's the rush in going back when you just came and please my dear be on your best behavior tomorrow when you meet our guest".. he said pointing at I and Sonia...

"well respectfully sir, her telling me or not is non of my concern and as you can see just look around and you will know that I'm not welcomed here so I'm moving to the states permanently where I can leave the hateful gazes of some specific individuals and also I got a well paying job over there thanks alot for the food but I'll have to retire for the night "..

I stood up immediately and left not wanting to hear anymore of his fake concern I got to my room I locked my door, immediately I moved to the bathroom and took my bath then I opened my balcony I stood there and jumped down running very fast with my legs heading for the forest..

I ran for about an hour and then I stopped when I spotted the site that gave me peace all those years ago, it is a water fall far in the woods I'm not to sure anyone knows about this place but maybe they do now.

I pulled off my shirt and then my trousers and immediately jumped into the water going for a dip. I swam for some time then came out and lay on the grass and lost my shelf to the sond if waves and the quietness of the forest..

After three hours I stood up and started heading home
