Chapter 13

Walking up to my dad without a plan in mind, now I really do envy those with extra doors in thier homes, I would have just escaped using backdoor but I guess am not lucky enough, will I able to realize my dreams at this rate..

"Wow I guess you are really dressed for the date huh??" My dad said which snapped me out of my thoughts, well I guess I will have to lie my way out..

" Yes dad I am finally ready to get a suitor" I said bringing out my best smile, I felt like doll at this moment..

"Well that's not how to dress up for a date, am sure you will be happy after unveiling my supsrise, pick up the box and check it out" only God knows what's going on in head right now, having no choice I picked up the box and to my surprise I found a dress and heels I was shocked, like this is the first time since have known myself, my dad is getting me a gift, I guess he's really expecting a lot of money from his almighty suitor, am sorry dad but my dreams are more important I thought to myself deciding to play along so I don't waste anymore time...

" Wow is so pretty, looking so elegant and beautiful and all, I guess I would look like a princess after putting this on" I said exaggeratedly, immediately I ran back to my room to get dressed before I get more delayed...

Getting to my room I slumped on my bed tiredly, how am I really going to decieve my dad, I don't want to go on any date, I heard a knock on my door while I was grumbling on the bed immediately I stood up and started trying on the dress, to my surprise my mum came in instead, I ran to her and hugged her then I started crying..

"Moo.....mmm" I said with a sobbing voice..

"Everything will be fine my love" she said while patting my back

" Everything is not fine, and it doesn't look like is going to be fine mum.."..

" How about you just put on the dress and leave for the competition instead" my mum advisied me

"But mum if I don't attend the date, dad will find out and he might stop me from competing.." I don't know what mum was thinking with her gaze fixed on the dress my dad got me, I could see a smile slowly creeping on her face, why in the world is she going to be smiling in this situation...

"My darling if am not mistaken, do you remember when I baked cookies and invited finna over, if you could remember clearly she wore a dress saying she wants to look like a lady for once.."

"Yes mum but how does that relate to the current situation at hand"

"Calm down my darling, the dress in your hands are same with the ones she wore on that day,..

"Yes mum there are the same, mum please can we stop talking about finna?" I said

"You want to stop talking about your golden ticket?.." she said with a proud look on her face...

"Golden ticket?, Mum how's finna a golden ticket mum.." I asked look utterly confused...

"Why don't you contact her to help you go on the date instead, killing two beds with one stone.."she said smiling victoriously, putting the pieces together,I got so happy and hug my mum now is all narrowed to finna would she be willing to help....
