chapter 3

Bella's pov

I cant express how happy I am when dad told me that the Mona lady will be my nanny from now on. Not only that, Seth will be staying with us as well.

I not only have a nanny but also a friend!!!

Now I'll show aunt Diva her place.

I just don't feel right about her and her closeness to dad.

She looks like she wants something more than being a receptionist but I don't think she's capable of replacing my mom.

Never

"bella" seth called.

"yes" I replied

"Mona is calling you downstairs" he informed me.

I frowned at how he addressed her.

"don't you think you are being rude by calling her with her name? I asked him

"I beg your pardon? He asked

" I mean you calling her Mona is rude, you shouldn't be calling her by her name. its rude and disrespectful.

You are supposed to address her with some respect at least" I told him feigning annoyance.

"You should really ask question before criticizing someone" and with that he left

I was surprised and wondered why he became mad because I was trying to correct him.

That's his problem well I should go and know why nanny is calling me. I went downstairs and met nanny and dad downstairs, they were all seated about to have dinner.

I joined in my seat and nanny served us the meal.

Seth looked mad and I shrugged at his stupidity.

I mean why would someone be mad at me for correcting him?

If he wants to be my friend then he should be ready to accept his mistakes and correct them. After eating our meal, everyone went to their rooms and I went to mine,

Well of course without talking to seth.

Nanny said I should say my night prayers which I did.

She told me that we should go to daddy's room so that I can tell him good night.

" I have never done that and I don't think is necessary." I told her

"then you have to learn because seth always tells me good night before going to bad unfailingly" she explained

" and that will ensure you know the well being of your loved ones ok?"

"ok" I replied

" can I ask you a question"I asked

"go ahead" she replied

" seth is your brother right? She nodded

" then why is he calling you by your name?

I was surprised because she started laughing.

"you see" she started

" our parents died two years after seth's birth, I was left with him alone.

I took care of him till date. When he grew up he said I was both his mom and nanny so he joined the two words and formed MoNa which means mom and nanny because am both to him. My real name is Tabitha Dorcas but I am usually called dorbi ."

she paused and her eye was teary

"so you see, he is calling me mommy and nanny at the same time. Lets go tell dad good night.

We left for daddy's room but I was feeling really guilty.

I was the one who was wrong and stupid, I have to pologise first thing tomorrow.

Dorbi' pov

We entered cassper's room and believe me, I was taken away by the beauty of the room, I mean this is paradise on earth. The extra large bad made me wanna lie on it and sleep like a baby.

"Daddy? bella called

"yes baby" replied as he turned to face us with a confused expression

" I just want to make sure you are ok and to tell you good night"

OMG Mr. rude's eye was getting teary.

"come here" he opned his hand and she hugged him.

He then kissed her fore head

"I love you dad" bella's tiny voice confessed

" I love you more" he replied.

They disengaged and bella ran towards the door.

I was about to go out when Mr. rude called my name.

I paused thinking I had done something really bad.

"yes?

He paused and my heart began to beat even higher than a mortar.

"thank you"

Holly molly am I dreaming?

Mr. rude said thank you.. I felt like dancing but I think I'll do it when I am alone

"Welcome sir" I said and rushed out before he could say any other thing.

Cassper's pov

I still cant believe that my daughter told me that she loved me after her mom's demise, I couldn't hide my countenance, this lady has really got me daughter to like her easily. I appreciate her for this. I really do. Maybe I shouldn't hate the poor because they may have what the rich lack and need. I saw the surprise on her face when I appreciated her. Well that's for what she did and today, I realised that my daughter is really happy because she told me she loved me

Now I can cry since not one is here...

Notch

I picked up her photo and kissed it.

"finally someone has made our bella happy again" I said and smiled at her picture.

After a while I dropped it next to my bad and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Bella's pov

Nanny and I went to seth's room, he was looking very sad and hurt, nanny asked him what the matter was but he said it was nothing, I told him goodnight but he didn't reply me and that made me really sad,

I wish I had asked him before making conclusion.

I will have to apologise.

We reached our room and nanny prepared me for bed.

"nanny can I call you MoNa as well? I ask and she smiled and nodded

" please what can you do to apologise for acusing someone wrongly? I asked again

"well" she sarted

"you can explain the reason for your actions and then apologise,you can us music,or flower, or even funny surpise. But why did you ask?

"nothing serious and thanks"I said.

She shrugged and sang beautifully for me and I drifted to the dreamland...
