Staying around your loved ones be it family related or friends is never a dull moment. At times they might hurt you, but trust it never last. the measure of love built over the years is nothing compared to the bad feelings that surface once a while. I missed being teased by my siblings, my mom calling my name to come help her out with some of the chores and lastly I really miss moms super and amazing delicacy. the aroma wow!! The taste yummy 😋 everything about her food is giving maybe because she's a chef or probably she prepares it with much love and affection.
Have been away from home for sometime now, cos I had To go stay with my aunt who just delivered a baby girl and need some assistance till she's fully recovered from the stress of child bearing. Staying with a first time mom is not easy at all, you practically do all the chores and go for errands because the mother isn't supposed to stress herself till she's fit for work. Despite the stress of work am still overwhelmed with joy because there is an addition of a little princess in the family 💃.
Staying in my aunt house has really been cool but at the same time I miss my own immediate family. I was about picking up my phone to call mum that I would be coming over to the house, but then my phone rang and guess who's call it was? Mom's call. I hurriedly grabbed my phone📱like a thief was about taking it and quickly answered the call. After talking with her for almost half an hour, I promised to come visiting over the weekend. Literally I could feel the joy from her tone and that made me even more happy.
During the week mummy kept on bombarding me with calls upon calls not to forget the promise I made to her, I guessed she missed me more or could it be that it's because am her only female child🤷 hmmmm!! whatever the reason one certain thing is that I miss her and she does miss me.
I could not make it to the house on Saturday because Saturdays are my most busy days instead of rest. lots of activities that needs attention. I do my general laundry, ironing and prepare ahead for Sunday service. Saturday is also the band rehearsal where we normally learn/score new songs. I choose sundays as my best visiting days, cos of less work and you get to meet practically everyone at home. finally am gonna fullfil mummy's promise. The anxiousness and thought of seeing my family made me woke up quite early unlike the usual days. I did all the necessary things in the house, and latter left for church.
After the close of service I took a cab and headed straight to the family house 🏡 they were all happy to see me and so was I. After exchanging pleasantries I went straight to my room to change the dress I was putting on. before I was done I heard my bro calling my name that lunch has been served. Hearing food,OMG!! I quickly rushed and went straight to the table to consume the food. Rice mixed with beans,stew and fish.i requested for the fish because I have been eating meat through out the week at my aunt house.
After the food, they brought out a very chilled soya milk from the refrigerator. she had made it early in the morning knowing fully well I love home made soya milk and packaged it in a container.
But I was unable to finish the soya milk🥛 because I was more than satisfied already so I kept it back in the refrigerator till later.
An hour later my baby cousin came to the house to see me, they leave few blocks away from the family house. I was happy to see her as well.
Mom and my bro brought some discussions about what has been happening since i left but the one that got me laughing most was when mom said my younger bro went out and came back home late so she scolded him not to repeat it again and he got angry and refused to eat dinner even when she plead with him to eat a little. Late into the night, she heard a sound coming from the kitchen and decided to go check wats the noise all about only for her to find my younger brother in the kitchen crying 😭 because of hunger 😂😂 there was no food cos she had locked the left over In the refrigerator and taken the keys to her room. She only had mercy on him brought out the keys to the fridge for him to microwave the food to eat.
The gist were much but I made sure I gave them my full attention to each of there discussions.
I was not opportune to meet some of my brothers, my mom said they stepped out to attend to something important with daddy. Anyways am glad they are fine and that's all that matters.
I spent few hours with them and it was time for me to go back. Actually mummy wanted me to stay back home for few more hours but it was getting pretty late and the cold weather is just something else. Not just that she really cares much for aunt and the little princess so she has to let me go.Mom packed some food and milk for me to give aunt as well.
It was an unforgettable experience and no dull moment with them.
Indeed time spent with love ones is truly priceless 👩❤️💋👩
