CHAPTER 10

Amanda pulled over at the parking lot and went into her shop. She looked so distressed,She was upset and her workers could sense it. Her kids gave her a shocker on their way from school.

She had gone to pick them from school to spend the 3 weeks 2nd term holiday with her at home.

"don't take us home" Agnes said

Amy smiled at her daughter as she ignited the car "hmmm so where do you want to go?" she looked behind her seat so that you could look at her daughter's face.

"Grandma's house" she blurted with a frown

"Bennett" she turned to face her son who sat silently at the front, beside her. The boy gave her a frown and smiled at his sister before replying his mother

"yes mom we are staying with granny this holiday" Little Bennett told her.

Amanda gave birth to Agnes a year after her wedding, 11years ago to be precise. An intelligent girl in Junior secondary school 2, the best in her class, she received several prizes in primary school until she was ten years old. Her parents issue affected her drastically. After so many investigations, the school counselor found out that her poor performance was due to what she was experiencing at home, her parents were invited to the school several times by the school authority, this made them both resolved into taking her to a boarding school together with Bennett, her younger brother who was given birth to 4years after her so he was 9years. Boarding school became a pleasurable place for them than home. Agnes always preferred going to her granny's than staying home to witness and see her mother being turned to punching back in her presence by her dad.

Amanda looked perplexed, and prayed deep within her that her guess should be wrong "I will drive you there but will you both tell me why you don't want to come home? At least to see your dad who misses you everyday"

The kids hated coming home from school ever since they found comfort at the boarding house but how would she tell them everything had returned to normal in their home. Amanda had always found Agnes In her room crying each time she saw them fighting and quarreling, she hated it.

"if we go home with you, we will witness another fight, and we both are happy without seeing you both for now right?" she tapped Bennett on the shoulder and he smiled. Amanda was speechless, her home was breaking, she could feel the salty taste of her tears. The rest of the drive was in silence. She drove them to their Granny's house, Fred's parents.


*****

The drive back to lagos was fantastic, Tom's love for her appreciated. Her stay at his parents' place during the weekend was interesting. Gladys was already waiting at the door to welcome the duo, Tom didn't bother staying after dropping Amy off because he was exhausted and needed to get ready for work the following day.

Gladys inquisitive stare made Amy uncomfortable, she gave Gladys the excuse of going to rest because of work the next day because she was not ready give her any gist concerning how are trip was.
