MR GRUMPY

The alarm rings, Tricia gets up from bed and put on her flip flops.She walked downstairs she bumps into Nunu,her little brother "good morning pumpkin,please hide me i don't want to bath now", Tricia smiles and squats to his level "do you think will still play with you when you look dirty". The little boy quietly walks downstairs to take his bath, Beth , Tricia's cousin yelled from behind "come back here you brat!"come and take your bath"and she started chasing the little boy.

Tricia smiles went to the dining table greeted mum and dad before sitting to take breakfast, the adults at the table were all gloomy,i didn't take it seriously until when mum and dad said they had something important to discuss with me.

Mum started by saying I was getting to 20 and marriage should be in my list, Dad then brought the topic of my senior brother Caleb who works for the General saying that the family of the general needs a wife for him.

It then dawned on me where this discussion was heading to, how can I get married to an elderly man because they are rich or what?

I strictly told them I wasn't going to get married to him and left the room,i don't know if dad was faking it but he was rushed to the hospital diagnosed of a heart disease he made me promise to marry the general.I have heard so much of him his strictness, scary looks, I prefer calling him Mr grumpy than Mr general.
