DEFINITION OF FUCKED UP Chapter 5: when the past is your demon

She glanced behind and find a little kid struggling to walk and e up, its like 4 old years kid with a shabby chick and black pink braids which looks exactly like hers except for the way it was designed.

Yes, baby girl. she answered by reaching her and suddenly hugs her. how are you, Jojo?

I am ok Mommy.

I am glad you are ok. she hugs little one a bit tighter

so Mommy where have you been? I've missed you so much

Baby Jojo Mommy has a lot of work this day ok? but don't worry she will come to visit you every day at Nana's ok?

But I want you to come with new pencils and a nice bag too, Bella has a new bag too.

Okay, baby Jojo I will buy everything you want and Mommy loves you.

Mommy, please don't go anywhere. Jojo said while holding Kisha's hand

Mommy will not go anywhere don't worry.

Kisha finds a way to escape Joana but it was too hard to let her go until she decided to lie to her that she is going to buy the pencil and bag she was asking for.

She left in tears to know that she left a 4-year-old girl in hoping that she will come back, she went downstairs and took the car before that she told Nana that she will come back tomorrow morning and asked her to tell the update if anything comes up, she got home at 11 Am and find Junior is still awake, she didn't dare to eat dinner she just left to her room and goes to rest.

The next day she woke up at the same time she always does, went running as always and came back early, went to get a shower, and walks out of the house without telling anyone. she usually gets off home at 8 Am but now she went at 6:30 Am she took a car and went immediately to the hospital.

Good morning Nana. Kisha said

Hi ma'am.

How is her situation?

She still sleeping but she is weak than yesterday.

Did you talk to the doctor?

No, I didn't.

So Nana I called a cab to go which will take you home to rest I will be with her the whole day you will come back at night.

Ok ma'am I will.

Nana packed up the things of hers and Joana's and went home, Kisha went to the cafeteria to find breakfast and goes back to her room, she took breakfast, and after sometimes she fell asleep on the couch while she was watching Joana.

Meanwhile, Fred woke up at 6 Am tried to go to take shower but Margaret insisted he stay and that he will be going afternoon convincing him that he is CEO and he has the right to go whenever he feel like it, He agreed and stay in bed a little longer, she Instead wake up and went into the kitchen to make breakfast and went back in the room with breakfast.

This is what I love most about you. By kissing her on the neck

I told you I got you, didn't I?

Yeah, you did baby girl.

so let's talk about your son.

What about my son?

when will you let him do what he is passionate about?

No, I can't let him do that, I don't want many kids from different mothers to my son, If he studies well he will become a lawyer or something good, not some Musicians that is for useless people normal people own a business and sits on office, not in a bar. He said in a furious way

Think about it it's been now 2 years since he dropped out of college you can't even let him do what he wants where do you think his life is heading where? Margaret asked

Baby girl doesn't ruin my morning, I told him that he will get nothing from me, whatever it is until he goes back to study law I didn't want that useless son anyway.

Why? Maggy asked in a shocked tone

I wanted a girl, girls understand their father's wish but boys are for their mothers, you see that nephew of mine, she is intelligent, smart, and hardworking I wish my son was like her instead of being some musician.

Ohh ok, so you compare her with your nephew? She said with a smirk on her face

Yes, she is the best because she did what I told her to do which was journalism now she is doing good in the company. He said with a smile

Whatever. Maggy said on her back to Fred's chest to put the head on

They continue romancing, and after some minutes Margaret's phone message popped up on the screen.

"congratulations girl for your house and car, I am proud of you, I wish my daughter would be like you". Mama Aisha

She glanced at the phone smirked and left the message without reading it and went back to sleep.

Aisha woke up in the morning and find herself wearing the same outfit she was wearing yesterday, she tried to recall what happened last night and she remembered that she fell asleep without changing her outfit . she quickly woke up and went to the bathroom, preparing herself, and went to the office. On her way going downstairs she met her stepfather, who offered to give her a ride, they went without taking it was pure silence, she gets to the company, and while he was finding a place to park he saw the name of the company Aisha works at and suddenly he became shocked and wonder how she gets Job there.

Do you work here? how did you get a Job here?

I worked hard for it. She replied

I may say that I am impressed by how I know the owner, not everyone can get a Job here even a cleaner.

Do you know him? I mean the owner

Yes, I do, we went to the same high school but we lost contact with each other. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that after 3 months everything might be changed but if you manage to get a Job here everything can work for you no rush.

She kinda felt happy and get off the car, she immediately went into the cafeteria to do her job and her phone rang on her way to the cafeteria.

Hello mama?

Stop those hello of yours why didn't you come home last night? who you slept with?

slept? she asked in a shocked tone

Don't act dumb where were you last night?

I was home, of course, you didn't notice because you were busy appreciating other girls.

Whatever. she hangup

In general, in Africa when a girl didn't come home last night her parents only think that she was with a man or anything bad they don't think maybe you didn't come because bad something happened to her or maybe good intentions.

Aisha stood up a little while holding the phone, thinking about what just happened, she sighs and went to the cafeteria annoyed.

It was 10 Am when Doctor woke Kisha up to give her an update, they talked for a little while and she went back to see the kid, when she got there Joana was also awake and watching some cartoons. she took her to the bathroom and changes her shirt bed and clean everything of hers and gave her some food even if she didn't have any appetite, after that it was almost 11 Am when she glanced at the telephone and find several SMS from the coffee girl. she quickly took the phone and called her

Hello ma'am, aren't you coming to work today? Aisha's message

Hey good morning my mum is still at the hospital so need a huge favor from you. Kisha's reply

It's ok tell me It

I've seen your capability so I want you to help me today to send emails to every one according to the job we have been working on lately ok?

Yes ma'am

Don't worry I will pay you for making you do my job.

Yes, I will ma'am don't worry. Aisha said

Kisha throws the phone on the bed and starts to play with Joana.

The day went well nothing special happened, Kisha was with Joana all day taking care of her, Aisha did everything they told her to do and she added some of hers, Junior went to find out to meet some people who he thinks can help him to be a musician.

It's was almost 3 PM when Aisha was in Kisha's office working on some personal thing, Fred suddenly appears and she suddenly got shocked

Excuse me who are you?

I am Kisha's secretary.

Since when does she have a secretary?

Well her mother has been hospitalized lately so I am doing a job on her behalf she will come back soon

What do you mean by her mother?

Yesterday I went to the hospital to give her a laptop and she told me that her mother is hospitalized.

How my sister can be hospitalized and she didn't bother to tell me?

he quickly walks out of the officious serious face and went at the tools he took his phone and dialed his sister's number.

Hello

Hi, why didn't you tell me that you went to the hospital until some girl told me?

who went to the hospital? I am home enjoying life don't curse me right now

so you are not in the hospital?

No, I am home, why would I lie to you?

Kisha told her secretary that you are hospitalized that's why she couldn't come to work.

God, what happened?

I don't know let me ask her then.

Let me know if she doesn't talk to me anymore after what happened you know?

She can't be mad at you because that was the right thing to do.

Maybe it was or it wasn't.

What happened between Kisha and her mother that makes her don't talk again like she said?

He hangs up and called Kisha.

Hello uncle?

Why didn't you come to the job and lie that your mother is sick?

Her heart started to beat fast again and her mind froze for a second and she finally spoke up and said that her best friend is so sick and her parents are abroad so they can't take care of her so she did instead.

Ok, don't ever again use your mum in that situation.

Yes, uncle before he hangs Joanna suddenly called Kisha"Mommy" and Fred heard that.

Mommy?? Fred asked

Hmm....it's some kid at the hospital who is calling her mother. Kisha replied with a fast heartbeat

You freaked me out I thought it was you.

No, it's not me, I will see you home then

Why Kisha doesn't want one to know the real person she is with? why Joana calls her mommy and she denied to everyone that she is not with a kid that usually calls her mom and they seem to know each other well? Does Kisha have a story that no one knows about except Nana? what happened to her?

watch out next part...
