Chapter 9 - A game up her sleeve

The test went well if I can pretty much say so myself.And when I was looking around me I saw nothing but the shadow of my mother.

"So how was it?"Desho asks me.

"How was what exactly?"I answer as I am snapped back into the present reality,for some reason I keep thinking about my mother's wellbeing like I just wonder how she is doing to be honest.

"Eheh how was the lunch that you were just having?"She sarcastically asks.

"Huh?What do you mean?I don't get you,"I answer while foolishly scratching my head. "What else would I ask other than the exams?How where the exams nawe ahah?"She then comes clean with her question as she takes her seat and stretches her back.

"Why are you stretching your back like that?"I ask concerned.

"You didn't notice in the exams?"She asks me. "No I didnt,notice what exactly?"I ask back.

"I wasn't sitting properly ehhh the paper was just too tough I mean it was difficult to the point my brain was totally blank so I was just trying to sit in different poses so that the answers should be surfacing you get what I'm saying?"She asks as now the stretching becomes weirder.

I laugh really hard,this is why I love my desho so much,she just knows how to make me laugh. "So you're back started to do the thinking for you?Is that what you are trying to tell me right now?"I ask jokingly.

" Yes and trust me the brain is even better,"She answers without even caring to whether there is sense in her answers or not, I just look at her as the laugh fades away.

"Anyways you never answered my question,how was the exam?"She asks hoping to receive a positive answer but like I said I was not focusing.

"I don't know,"I honestly answer.

"Eheheh you don't know like don't know don't know or maybe you don't know how you are going to nail it?"She asks looking at me while weirdely chewing a bubble gum while looking all curious.

I burst out in laughter again because the face that she is making right now is totally worth a laugh while I'm wondering when she even started to chew on the gum,my mind has been absent lately.

"Why are you making that face?"I ask while I continue to laugh but now in such a way that it is going to fade.

"Please just answer me ahah what kind of a face am I making right now?"She continues to make that face but now while scratching her back,this day couldn't get any hilarious.

"Nevermind,I meant I don't know how they were,"I tell her now back to my normal expression,being normal hahahaha.

"Ahhhh I see,"she answers. All of this thinking about my mother and what desho has just said has taken me back to this morning,an unsusual event occurred.

....This morning.....

"Princess from now on just know that your mother and your sister will be the ones to do the chores ,"he tells me as we are all,except the mom,on the dining table waiting for breakfast to be served.

To be honest,I try to hide the satisfaction after hearing this but I just can't so I let it all out with one crazy malicious smirk.

"What is taking her so long?"He imaptiently asks while taking a look at the time.

"Maybe I should go and help her out with breakfast,"I suggest.

"Or maybe you should sit down and wait for your mom princess,"he says.

"Yes dad,"the moment I hear him speak like that is the moment I am aware that one more suggestion and I am done for.

"Dalitso!"She shouts my name,"come help me carry this please."

Look at her asking me for help,#reliable.

"May I?"I ask my dad for permission as leaving the table when he said not to would be considered as a grave mistake to him that is. "Proceed,"he says while now paying his full attention to the newspaper in his hands.

"Please carry this,"she gently hands the flask over to me.

As I am busy arranging the tray first before I carry the flask,I can't believe that she has called me here to help her arrange everything instead of just carrying,she suddenly trips over me and she pours some kind of weird looking a little hot water on my right arm that she was holding as she falls down and I also fall too together with the flask that was just quiet on the counter. "Ohhh I am so sorry,"she says looking all sorry but I can sense that it's just an act.

I just look at her whilst my arm is burning and I fail to even understand if that was all intentional because I mean like even her sorry doen't feel right.As she pulls out her hand for my arm I quickly dodge it and politely say,"I am okay thanks for your concern,".I respectfully stand up on my two feet and decide to quietly leave with nothing in my hands and my arm is really burning so I am trying to figure out if whether it as the temperature of the water or the water itself,how weird.

"Are you not going to help me carry these?"She now asks with an annoyed face while carrying the tray in her hands.

"I am so sorry mom but my arm is burning hot right now,"I answer and then notice how she is disguisingly smirking at me .

"It's okay,"she says while now leaving the kitchen but showing off a very malicious smile,I just wonder what she has up in her sleeves like really.

"Is everything okay?I heard a very big clash in the kitchen,"dad asks.

"Don't worry it's just the flask that fell,"she answers as she leaves the tray on the table. "Where is Dalitso?Did she get hurt I mean did you get hurt?"He asks while peeping in the kitchen from his chair.

"Yes she is,just that...."she fails to finish her sentence as I believe she is busy thinking how she is going to present this to him

"Dad!"I scream from the kitchen because for some reason this arm is burning hot "That's....."he rushes to the kitchen and then sees me not crying just you know ehem cleaning my eyes with water.

"Eh what' wrong?"He asks as he helps me stand straight on my feet.

"She accidentally poured water on me,"I say but knowing fully that it was not at all accidental but rather intentional.

"Let's get you bandaged up,"he says. "It's burning,"okay now I start to cry,daddy's girl is in pain rught now hahaha.

"It's okay and grow up,what up with the tears?"He jokingly asks.

"It's literally burning,"I say while whining like a baby so I can see her reaction and yep that is not a happy expression I see.

My daddy helps walk to the living room and take my seat,he is such a gentleman hahaha.
