#Chapter7

When Mariah got home, she saw her mother pacing to and fro in front of the house, her father was sitting on the bench with his head resting on the wall. She took a deep breath and walked closer to them, knowing that she was in trouble. When Lydia saw her, she couldn’t stop the tears from trailing down her cheeks, /"Mariah,/" she called in relief.

Mariah looked guilty, knowing she was the reason her mother was like that, /"mother, I am really sorry, I did not mean to make you so worried./"

Lydia said nothing and just hugged her. Josiah sat up from where he was sitting and approached them, /"Mariah,/" he called and Lydia released her to look at him, /"my dear, if you continue like this, how will we know when you are in trouble to start looking for you? You are always coming home late, should we stop worrying and believe at all times that you are okay?/"
