14 Is it okay to be vulnerable?

The classes ended at 9 pm, my stomach made a dying whale sound. I was starving, haven't ate anything from the morning, hectic day in college, had to submit an assignment today and two module tests. I walked towards the home after buying a pack of chips on the way.

I saw a cab outside my home. I walked inside and saw few suit cases in our balcony.

"Aaarrgghh, I am not in mood to deal with relatives now" I murmured to myself.

I walked in the living room and saw my family on the sofa.

"Why are you late?" Asked my brother coldly.

My brother and I have a strong bond. He obeys me. And this was an indication from him.

"Few parents came by....."

"Your mumma is leaving, she needs a break, she is tired" said papa

"What? Why? What happened? Suddenly" I was shocked.

Mumma got up"I will be back soon, someone needs to understand my importance" she said and left without even looking at me.
