"Worried"

"Mom am home " she shouted.

"In the living room," her mother shouted.

She walked to the living room with a smile.

"Uncle Ricky told me to give this to you " she gave her mother the present.

"Tell him a thank you next time," her mother said.

Her father wasn't home yet.

"Why is dad not yet back?" she asked.

"He said he was doing some research on a case so he would be late," her mother said.

She took a shower and got ready for bed.

"When he returns give him a kiss for me," she told her mom before she went to bed.

It was late in the night when she heard noise from downstairs.

She got out of bed and slowly headed down.

"It's not that simple, these men are dangerous and I just ignore that, " her father's voice said.

"So what do you plan to do then, " her mother asked.

She entered the room with worry and looked at them both.

"Hi sweetie," he father said.

She took a seat next to her mother.

"Sorry we woke you up " her mother apologized.

"What going on?" she asked.

Her parents fell silent before her mother said.

"It's about your father's work it's nothing important," she said.

"But dad looks worried is something wrong? " she asked again.

"It's about a case I refused to work on. But after I made my investigation I found out it was connected to your boyfriend Rimuel, in particular, his father" He said.

Her father told her everything about his dilemma.

"This Marcus guy seems to be off for revenge and an ex-mafia which makes me hate to work with him," her father said.

She was worried even after her father told her not to.

"Am meeting Rimuel's father tomorrow morning so we can come up with something so don't worry your self "

She understood what he said but didn't feel quite right. Her mother had been having a weird feeling for a long time that it scared her too.

She went back to bed after her talk with them. Feeling worried she called sent a text to Rimuel.

"Why are you still awake?" he asked her.

He was still talking with his father in the study when his phone received her text.

She told him what she heard from her parents. Rimuel sighed.

"Everything will be fine just trust your father " he texted her.

"Am worried "

"Don't be it will be okay. Now go back to sleep "

She decided to believe him and went back to sleep.

The next day she made sure to see her father off before heading to school.

"What's wrong bestie?" Essie asked.

"Am just worried about my father " she said telling Essie everything about what happened.

"Don't be believe in them both and It will turn out okay " Essie said.

Rimuel missed school that day making her even more worried. After school, she rushed home.

Her mother was in the kitchen making dinner.

"Mom what happened? " she asked.

"Everything went fine, your father and said they fixed everything "

Vanita jumped in joy feeling relieved.

"Boss they joined forces and made sure you can't either harm them or take anything from them. The lawyer helped them "

Marcus was enraged as he heard.

Vanita had dinner with her family with a smile on her face.

"There is nothing my father can't do " she praised her father.

Her parents laughed and nodded.

"Rimuel's father is a very intelligent man like his son," he said.

Vanita agreed in return.

She called him after dinner thanking him for his help.

"I was involved too so I had to do my part but am glad your smiling " Rimuel's father chuckled.

Rimuel who was with his father at the time frowned as he watched his father talk to his girlfriend.

"She called you first instead of me " he murmured.

His father smiled.

"My son seems angry since I talked too much, have a lovely night my dear "

"You too father " she hangs up.

"She hangs up with asking for me?" Rimuel asked.

"Yeah she did son, don't feel jealous of your old man," his father said.

Rimuel got up and left his father's study. Leaving him in laughter.

He waited for her call but she never did.

He arrived early to school the next morning and waited for her arrival.

She came in with her friends laughing, she looked to be in good mood. Her friends scammed after they saw the look on his face.

She looked at him and smiled.

"Morning " she smiled at him.

He turned his face to the other side and kept quiet.

"Did I do something wrong?" she asked.

"What do you think?"

"Am sorry I didn't call you last night but I did call your father "

"My father and I are two different people and each had their own phone " he angrily said.

"Okay am sorry I didn't call you," she said with a sad face.

Rimuel turned to her realizing she had frowned her face.

He smiled and held her hand.

"Don't do that to your face I love it when your smiling " he said.

Vanita brightened up and smiled. Soon she was telling him how she jumped out of joy after she found out.
