Mummy I got you a new husband

SELENE’S POV

” Where are we headed?” I asked again but this time I was talking to myself. I had a feeling it was somewhat important. Mummy was really dressed and she had gotten me a new dress too. I wondered if it was a party as I pondered in my thoughts.

” Is it a party?” I questioned myself and soon waved off the thoughts as I was sure we could afford it. Mummy had never been able to afford a party and I had grown to accept that, we only had parties between us both, no third parties included.

It felt really lonely but that’s was what mummy could afford. Sometimes kids from the neighborhood and my classmates mocked me for not being able to afford a party.

” She is a charity case after all, if not for the scholarship how would she be able to afford a school as this.” I heard some of them say sometimes and I felt really hurt but I knew mummy was doing her best to make me happy so I could not complain as she got gifts for every one of my birthdays.

I had turned ten today and I was really happy and could hardly contain my excitement. Mummy had even me a surprise that morning and I was more than happy with that.

” Mummy doesn’t have any money, but what was all of this about?” I questioned myself through the ride wondering where we might be headed as seemed with all of this we were headed somewhere very important.

The ride was quiet as mummy still seemed really busy with stuffs on her phone and had handed me my tab to watch cartoons. I soon stopped wondering and decided to wait for it.

Engrossed with the cartoons I soon forgot my worries about where we were going and laughed so hard as the cartoon were really funny.

The car soon came to a halt and I had been so engrossed with what I was watching that mummy has to tap and call out for for me to realize we had arrived.

” Enough of the Cartoons baby, we are here” she said as she motioned to get down from the car. I raised my head and looked around as I got down too. I was marvelled at how beautiful the mansion was and could hardly hide it.

” Waw, mummy this is so beautiful, where is this place?.” I asked as I highlighted the car. I could not seem to hide my amazement as I stared at the beautiful mansion.

” You love it right? She asked me and I replied in the affirmative.

” This is our new home, let’s go in.” Mum said and walked headed inside and I just stood and stared. She soon realized I was not walking with her and called out for me.

” Selene, let’s go in.” She said and I was jilted from the reverie and followed her.

” How is this our new home mummy?” I asked her and she just smiled. I wanted her to answer my question but it seemed she was not ready to as she motioned for me to go in.

” You will know all of that soon enough.” She said and we got in, the room was filled with decorative lights and everything was beautiful. As I walked round the room, I noticed a section of the room was beaming differently and I rushed to go see what was about.

” Happy birthday Selene.” I read aloud the words the light were used to decorate and I couldn’t help my self as I was over the moon. Mummy had followed suit laughing at how amazed I was.

Soon enough I heard a shout and scared to my bones I held my mum so tight and closed my eyes. My hands wrapped around her and my face covered in her dress.

” Happy birthday Selene.” They scremed and giggled loudly. I finally raised my face and saw that they was my friends from school and I rushed to hug them.

” Thank you Xavier.” I hugged him as it seemed he had lead the surprise. I let go of his embrace and thanked everyone.

” Thank you all and mummy I love you.” I said and hugged my mum there again.

The party went on with everyone having so much fun. I and my friends played and danced along with the music. There were alot of games to and we played. Mummy went around making sure everyone had something to drink and eat. It was so lovely. Soon enough it was time to cut the cake. Mummy had gotten a big cake with the impress of my name on it.

I walked to where the cake was and it was so lovely. I hoped it tasted better than it looked as I have always been crazy about cakes.

SELENE IS TEN… as I read what was written on the cake. I could not hide my excitement. I was so delighted. Soon it was time to cut the cake and I blew the candle and make the exact same wish I made earlier that morning. I had never been this happy.

This was the first time I was having a real party and it was so lovely having my friends and everyone around. I cut of the cake and we all had some bites to eat. It was indeed fun. Just as the party was about to end, Uncle Karl walked in with Davis.

” Why are you having a party at my house?” Davis asked me as soon as he got to where I was. I was surprised as I did not know this was Davis house. I didn’t know how mummy had brought us to have a party at Uncle Karl house.

” What do you mean your house, do you live here?” I asked him and he gave me a disgusting look. He seemed irritated by my response. Soon both mummy and Uncle Karl got to where we were.

” Mummy is this Davis house?” I asked her and Uncle Karl answers instead.

“Happy birthday baby girl, sure you like all of this? He asked me as trying to ease the tension but Davis was sure not having it and asked his dad, Uncle Karl why the party was happening at their house.

” Daddy why is Selene and her mother here? And they are having a party at our house.” Davis asked yelling as he was displeased with everything happening and did not hide it.

” Well, I wanted to make Selene tenth birthday memorable, is there a problem?” He asked him and Davis got angered even more.

” Yes Dad everything is wrong with that, why would you bring this girl to have a party at our house. We barely even know them.” He responded fuming. Davis was already causing a scene at the party and I was grateful the party was almost over. My friends turned to look at us wondering what the scene was about.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

” Davis not today please.” I muttered, this was the happiest day of my life and Davis was just about to ruin it.
