My name is Atara
It happen one Saturday evening, when I was in my room meditating on my life, when I heard a knock on my door.
Who is that?
It's me, nanny, your parents needed your attention ma
Where are they? I asked with annoyance.
They are in their bedroom, replied my nanny
Okay, I said in a low tone. Hissing mtchewwww
I got up from the bed reluctantly, put on my dress because I wasn't putting anything on
I got to my parents room, I met them chatting in a low tone, but immediately they saw me, they kept quiet
Good evening mom, Good evening dad
How are you? My mom asked
Am good mom.
For 6 minutes my parents did not say anything,they kept staring at me, that Moment I kept wandering what's on my mind, I was very nervous, I didn't know what to do, maybe to talk or to keep waiting what's gonna happen. I can't take the silence anymore and I broke the silence, mom.... Dad, didn't you called for me, or what's really happening why are you staring at me like that, hope no problem.
Do you know why we called for you? My dad asked
Maybe for evening devotion or I don't know, I said stammering.
Honey......
Sighed softly
you know me and your dad love you, and you also know, there is nothing you asked for we did not provide or give you? Asked my mom
Yes I know you and dad love me, I replied with a low tone.
Then, what's wrong with you? My mom asked angrily
I wasn't expecting such a question and my mom had never talked to me in that manner before.
I looked at my mom and dad
Nothing.... I said stammering
Don't say nothing, you hardly eat, talk to anyone and you hardly come out of your room, since you have come back from school, my dad said worried
Your nanny told us you vomit all day and you sleep alot, and you and I know, you are not a sleep lover, my mom added
Mom, I said in annoyance
There is nothing wrong with me, Am perfectly okay
Don't tell me you are okay, look at yourself, you are so pale........ Oh gosh
Let me just go straight to the point
Are you pregnant?
I was dumbfounded where I was standing, is like the ground should open and swallow me, I did not know what to reply, I was just looking like a fool, I gathered courage and answered them, "NO"
Why would you think such a thing? I said crying
I hope so, but first thing tomorrow morning, we are for a test, my dad said
And it better come out negative, my mom added
As you wish, but I am highly disappointed with the both of you, I said with fear in my voice
I left the room scared, hoping it will come out negative
