CHAPTER 264: YOU ARE A COWARD

             AUTHOR POV

"Hello, my baby? How are you? I miss you so much, baby! Are you okay? We have been discussing about you just now! It is little Jayden who had been causing chaos saying he want to talk to you!" Mrs Richard beamed blissfully immediately after she received the phone from her confused daughter.

Blessing was confused and unable to utter any word.

What should she say now? How could she have the heart to ask such painful questions while the person who she wanted to clear her doubts from was this happy to hear from her? She lacked the guts!

She was shaking as she held the phone in her left hand that if she wasn't careful, it could collapse on the floor.

"Baby? Baby? Are you there? Do you hear me? Are you okay?..be?..." Sandra shouted at the top of her lungs due to panic. 

Why was the girl not responding to her? Was she sick and she was just here in Africa enjoying her life while her precious daughter was in pain! 

Sandra was confused and nervousness started to emerge from her heart. She was already sweating.

What could be the problem with Blessing? The girl had never behaved like that before. Why was she like this now?

She could remember the last time they talked to her. The girl was happy and was laughing endlessly while narrating her beautiful life but now, what was happening to her?

"Mama! Is that big sis?" Young Jayden was heard by Blessing from the other side of the phone which made the girl come out from her wonderland.

"Hello, mum! How are you?" She finally asked with a shaky voice which was immediately discovered by her mother. After all, no one was able to hide what they actually felt from their mothers.

"What is it? Are you okay? Tell me now. Don't make me worried!" Sandra demanded nervously from the other end.

"Ooh! Sorry, mum. I am fine. Its just that I am tired" Finally she was able to talk but she said what she wasn't to say.

She couldn't break that lady who truly loved her. That would be unfair to her. After all, maybe the stranger was someone who knew her and her family. So he was only trying to play with them.

Some people were jealous of her and her family any way that was why they were trying to mislead her so that she would not concentrate on what she was doing, and worse of all, so that she would fight with her parents.

Yes! That guy was stupid! Sandra and Richard were here parents.

Anyone in her shoes would conclude that way. By the way, they loved each other. The way they cared for each other, there was no way that they couldn't be here family, right? And if they were not, then Blessing was sure Sandra would never have left her in the dark, forgetting that love and trust could be broken!

"....Blessing! How many times should I call you? Please don't do this to us! You know we are far from you. Why are you behaving like this suddenly?" Sandra was in anger by the way the girl was responding to her.

"Yes! I am coming right away! The lecturer is calling us? Yes! I will be there in a minute!" Blessing shouted but all of this was an act.

"I am sorry mum but I have to go now. Tell my little Jayden that I love him so much! Kiss him for me! Bye-bye!" And she hanged up with a deep sigh and then collapsed on her couch.

'I don't believe that you are still a coward!' One of her instincts exclaimed in anger.

'Hay, don't say that! She is not a coward! If it were you, what would you do?' Another instinct responded favouring the girl who was running out of her senses.
