White Water - Episode 2
The thunder rumbled louder this time and it started the heavy drop of a melodious sound of a louder beaten on the roof.
I ran to the toilet to put a bucket on a spot where the roof leaked.
It was not as if i cared if there is flow of water in the kitchen because we never cook since mom died.
I just did that to please nature.
I pass by the book shelf while coming back from the kitchen.
Books are my friend since my dad left, it made my day always.
I picked a book my hand first touched.
"PROCRASTINATION"
the story by an Africa child but was produced by Williams Englishman.
I have read it 4times but i still love to read it again.
My shirt was the colour of the sofa in the sitting room, if you don't look well on the chair you will hardly see me immediately i cuddle myself on it.
It an adventure of an Africa son, he was devastated but not empty even though life procrastinate his success.
The book made my day seriously because i haven't eaten in two days and am not hungry even if i was there is absolutely nothing to eat.
The rain is still dropping.
Am still in door and am obviously not ready to go out.
Life seem to be angry at us since killing of innocent souls had become a constant style.
Even rain stopped dropping since 74 days ago until this morning.
I thought it was a joke when my father didn't come back the night he left, he seem to be in hurry when he was leaving, like some people are waiting for him.
Bennet my cousin came the day after the day my father left and explain what my dad was into.
My father went on a rescue mission to save some slave from Africa.
He went with some of the goons that usually sit with him at the workshop.
Some slaves that escape from Portuguese camp cause errors in the city and they put everyone in great danger.
Even king john is not safe, it was the church that was protecting him.
He can't define where the charm came from, he was overpowered by the civilian rebels.
I tried so hard to concentrate on my book but it really not easy, am having a missed feelings that an unexpected thing is coming be it thing of nature or love.
I really don't understand but i deeply hope what is coming will smile at me. I
I was just staring at my books but my mind had left me without tell me.
The rain had stopped but i didn't notice at all.
Then a knock on the door jolt me back to life.
