Chapter 2

Athena

After I went to bed yesterday I thought about a lot of things. I can't say much but I'm satisfied about what's going to happen. I wake up and fix my bed I need to start packaging even though Granny didn't tell me when I will be leaving but I need to be prepared. I charge my phone.

I open my bathroom door and open the tap as I see my in the mirror. I'm not a child anymore I'm a woman I'm beautiful.

I admire my features that I was given my both of my parents. I'm brunette with green eyes and I'm not those girls who have bodies of a supermodel. I have my curves which I got from my mother's side. Big boobs I can't really say where I got them but I love them and I think they're sexy.

After I washed my face I went to the kitchen and I find my Granny setting up the table for breakfast. One I will miss about her is that she's a great cook and she's good hearted woman. I greet her with a kiss in her cheek. She smiles at me.

"Prwi Athena"

(Morning)

"Morning giagia I hope you slept well because I definitely slept like a baby after hearing the good news that you told me yesterday"

(Granny)

"I'm good my Athena and yes I had a good night"

I can see she's lying because she keeps touching the table and I can tell that she's nervous about something. Maybe something happen and I don't have knowledge of.

"What's wrong Giagia I can tell there's something wrong. Let's sit down so that we can talk." I open the chair for to sit down and I make her cup of her favourite tea I can see she's very stressed about something.

She smiles at me. "There's nothing wrong with me to mwro mou I'm just thinking about you since you're going to move soon"

(My baby)

I can tell that she's sad that I will be leaving soon even though she acts like there's nothing. I know she was going to be disappointed but she always knew that I was going to move one day.

"Oh Granny, I know you're not happy but I'm going to start a new life but that doesn't mean that I will forget you. I will come and visit you I will video call you everyday and tell you about the things I will do. You don't have to worry about that. I will never forget about you, you are not only my Granny but also my mother"

I don't want her to ever thing like that she knows I love her so much. My parents didn't want to raise me since they are too busy for me. She's the one who rescued me from being taken by nasty nannies. She told them to bring me to Greece. She took care of me and raised me.

The only thing my parents knew was money and I received the best education in the country because of them. I didn't suffer when I was growing up.

They provided everything for me and my Granny. We live in the best estate we are in the neighborhood with the most important people in the country. I didn't suffer financially but I suffered emotionally and physically because of them. They think money solves everything but I'm going to show them that's not true.

Granny looks at me and she smiles at me softly. "Oh baby I appreciate what you said I love you too my child and don't let that dark side of yours to control you. You are a good hearted girl who always helping people. I can't lie I will miss you so much but I have to let you so that you can start your life and be a strong independent woman"

I wipe my tears from my face and hold her hand. Well that was so emotional and it's very early for us to be this emotional. I know she's happy and also sad that I will be moving soon.

"Thank you Granny, can we stop crying and focus on our breakfast that you made"

"Yes my dear let me dish up your breakfast"

I eat my bacon and I'm mesmerizing by the food.

"It's good right?"

"Yes definitely it's delicious I will miss your cooking"

"I know my baby..."

"Don't worry about the dishes Granny I will clean the kitchen when we're done with the breakfast"

"Well my child, you are moving soon and I didn't tell you when you will be moving your father called yesterday and he said he will come and fetch your he has some business Ind after he's done he will come here"

"So that means that we have few days left together I didn't know it would be this soon I just thought they were going to wait until the year ends"

"I thought so too dear, but he said he wanted you to be comfortable with the environment and everything since you will be going to the university next year"

I'm really fed up with my parents always controlling everything I do even though they don't stay with me.

"So what? I'm suppose to be happy suddenly they think about how I FEEL. He was not going to fetch me he will come because he had some business in the city. What?! I'm suppose to be grateful for that shit they couldn't do anything for me just to ship me off to you"

I'm angry right now I can't believe my parents would stoop this low. My father would come and fetch me this weekend and I wonder if he has the strength to see me.

"My child find peace within your self don't let them corrupt you"

I can tell she's very worried about me.

"Don't worry about me I won't anyone corrupt me"

They think I'm going to America and I will let them control me and how I think about them I know they will try and woo me with their money.

My Granny went to the store to buy some groceries. I wash the dishes after I finished I continue packing my clothes and everything that is very beloved to me. I know I'm sad that I will be leaving my Granny but I'm happy I can't wait to start a new life. After I finished with I hear the bell I went downstairs and I open the door.

Oh my God. It's been so many years since I saw him.

"Father"
