The sunlight shone upon my tired face, I opened my eyes wearily and felt weak and thirsty. the sun rays poured into my eyes and I quickly shut them.

I gradually opened my eyes gently, and allowed it to adjust to the light in my surroundings.

I heard the cracking sound of my door then a familiar footsteps.

" up.. up.. it's time for breakfast." my nanny said patting my back and touching my smooth cheeks.

" I wanna freshen up, will dad be joining me for breakfast?." I asked her expecting a negative respond.

she nodded.

I sighed.

I quickly freshen up because I don't want to delay my dad, or give him any reason to complain.

" good morning dad." I said not looking at his face.

by the time I arrived he was done with his breakfast.

" I'm bringing in another Mom for you." my dad said after I settled down to eat my breakfast. I pretended not to hear him.

" don't you hear me?." he asked

" no I don't." I replied feigning my face.

" ok let me pretend that you didn't hear me. I said that I AM BRINGING ANOTHER MOM FOR YOU. " He said making sure that he was audible enough.

" what for? " I asked him.

" get ready she is coming for lunch."

he said leaving at was .

I sighed.

my Mom died after giving birth to me and my dad hated me for that, then ten years later her beloved mother died on her way to pick me from school. she was hit by a truck with a failed brake.

she died few days after the accident and as usual, I was blamed for that. my dad distanced himself from me at tender age, he don't care whether I exist or dead.

he hardly talk to me but he plays with my cousins anytime they came to visit.

Mrs. glory, my nanny, she had become my strength, my motivator, my all and all.
