🎵 Happy Birthday to you 🎵
🎵 Happy Birthday to you 🎵
🎵 Happy Birthday Dear Destry 🎵
🎵 Happy Birthday to you 🎵
Ugggh Yeah, today is his 7th birthday and my mom invited his classmates to celebrate with him.
My sisters and I just sat down looking at them, not even dressed for the so called birthday cause there’s nothing to celebrate.
He was only six years old when he did all those evil things, only God knows what we are to expect now that he clocks seven.
Seven years of torture from the hands of my little devil brother and his sidekick who call herself out mother.
None of my sisters is happy cause of what we went through in the hands of our mother and her son.
” C’mon girls, celebrate with your brother” my dad said as he came to us.
” What’s there to celebrate dad, 7 years of torture and mischief in the hands of the celebrant” Sarah said.
” Or to celebrate the evil things we are to expect after today” my other sister Eve added.
” C’mon, he’s your brother after all” dad said.
” Leave us alone dad, you can enjoy the party by yourself” Sophie added.
” Evelyn, talk to your sisters…..we are family” dad said.
” There’s nothing to say dad, just go and make sure he doesn’t hurt any of the guest” I replied.
It turns out our family isn’t the only victim in the hands of our beloved brother.
There are reports from his school about him bullying other students and everytime my mom is always at their school apologising on his behalf.
Whenever that happened I looked at my mom and nodded in regret and say ” my mom will be the end of this kid and she will surely regret her decision”.
.
Some hours later all the guest went back to their houses leaving us the family.
” Destry darling, I got you a present” mom said handling him a wrapped package.
” What is it?” Destry asked excitedly.
” C’mon, open it and find out” mom said then he tore the paper away from the package.
” A Phone” he said enthusiastically.
” Do you like it?” Mom asked and he nodded affirmative.
” Thank you momma”
” Anything for you my darling boy” mom replied.
” That’s so unfair, I didn’t even have a phone” my youngest sister Anna said.
” Neither do I” Betty also added.
” Don’t worry girls, when it’s your birthday you will get yours” mom said.
” Buy it has passed” Anna said crying already.
” Anna, don’t worry you will get yours very soon, and you too Betty” dad said.
” Daddy, you haven’t given me present yet” Destry said and we all looked at dad remembering what happened the last time.
” Dad, where is my present?” He demanded looking sternly at dad.
” Ta-da…… I’ve got you one” dad said presenting him his gift.
” Thank you Daddy” he said then opened the package.
” A Necklace…….woah it’s beautiful” he exclaimed.
” It’s a silver necklace, I’m glad you like it” dad said.
” Let me help you put it on” mom said then took the necklace from him and wear it on his neck.
” Aaaahh….. take it off, it burns take it away” he shriek in pain and my mom too the necklace away from him.
I was confused and surprised at what just happened cause the necklace burn his neck, showing a sign of the burns.
That is weird……that is so weird.
” ohmyGod what just happened?” mom asked.
” Take that away, I don’t want anymore” Destry said.
” What did you do to the necklace?” Mom asked looking at dad.
” What!…..I didn’t do anything, it’s just a necklace” dad defended.
” Well it’s not…..it just hurt my son” mom said.
” I’m sorry, I didn’t know……… I’ll get you another present okay….. don’t worry” dad said then he went angrily to his room.
.
I looked at the way they both treat him like a prince, they care for him so much sometimes I asked myself if it’s because he is a boy.
Is it a bad thing to be girl?
People believes that the birth of a male child is the source of pride and honour in the family, while that of a female is seen as failure.
This desire for a male child has resulted in husbands pressuring their wives to have more children, in some cases putting the health of the women in danger.
When this fails to produce the desired results, men will resort to polygamy in the hope that the other women will give them the son they need.
If it’s only my father being crazy about a boy I wouldn’t see it as much of problem but why my mom?.
Why is she so cruel?
Our mother is supposed to be there for us girls, a mother is supposed to love all her children equally and unconditionally.
But not my mother, she’s the exact opposite of the definition of a mother.
I keep having this feeling that the boy isn’t ordinary cause of the things I’ve noticed, he never get sick.
He never get injured or having catarrh or pimples like everyone, infact I’ve never seen him sneeze.
Nothing of sort, no one seems to mind about any of this and they think he’s just an extraordinary kid.
I’ll do everything to protect my siblings even if my parents are too blind to see it.

{Next Day}
.
I woke up from the terrible nightmare again breathing heavily.
Oh God, Not again.
The dream about me being chased by an unknown creature keep repeating itself.
I don’t know the meaning or interpretation of that dream but I know it’s nothing good cause it’s very scary.
Years ago it only come once in a while but now it’s coming frequently and it’s the exact same dream and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
I told my dad about it and he said it’s nothing, I really hope it means nothing cause it’s scaring the living daylight out of me.
A knock came on my door and my dad entered.
” Good morning Dad” I greeted.
” Heyy, did I wake you?” He asked.
” Nah…you didn’t” I replied.
” How was the night?” He asked.
” Horrible Dad, so horrible” I said and he furrowed his brow.
” How?…..what do you mean?” Dad asked.
” I had that dream again…….dad it’s getting worse” I said.
” Again?….are you sure it’s not because of the horror movie you’ve been watching?” Dad said.
” C’mon dad, you know that’s not it”
” Don’t worry, everything will be alright” dad said cuddling me.
” So what’s up?……you going somewhere?” I asked.
” Actually I came to tell you that I’ve transferred some cash into your account and I want you to take the girls out” he said.
” Really?”
” Yeah, you can get Anna and Betty their phone…….just have fun” dad said.
” Thanks Dad” I said hugging him.
” You’re welcome dear and don’t let your mom knows about this” he said.
” Why?”
” You know your mom can be jealous and troublesome……just to avoid all that” he said and I understand.
” Okay Dad” I replied then he left.
.
After having my bath and got dressed, I went to their rooms and informed them to get dressed while I wait for them in the living room.
A while later they all came to the living room dressed and ready to go then my mom also entered with her devil son.
” Where are you all going well dressed up?” Mom asked.
” I’m taking my sisters to the Mall and also have fun” I said.
” Alright girls, let’s go” I said and we started heading out.
” Mommie, I want to go too” Destry said.
” No baby, you don’t want to follow them…..you can’t tell what they are capable of doing” mom said.
” It’s better you listen to your mother boy” I said and we went out of the house.
I got outside and opened my car for them and they all entered, yes my car.
My dad bought it for me on my birthday when I turned 20 and I’ve been driving it to school.
They lap themselves in other to occupy and I drove off when we’ve all settle down.
.
We got to the Mall and got my sisters their phones at the phone store, then we left the place and went to an eatery.
We eat to our satisfaction and then left to an ice cream booth to have some ice cream.
We move from place to place having fun and after a while I sat down to rest while I watch the rest playing and having fun.
” We deserve this once a while, we should do this more” Sarah said sitting beside me.
” Yeah, we need a break from our crazy family saga” I said.
” Yeah, most especially you” she said and I turned to her.
” What do you mean?” I asked.
” You’ve been too hærd on yourself…..you barely think about yourself and all you want to do is take care of us”
” Tell me do you even have a boyfriend?” She asked and I scoffed.
” Nah…. I’m not ready, don’t tell me you already got one” I said and she smiled.
” of course I do have a boyfriend” she replied.
” Seriously?….wow…..haha you’ve grown up” I said smiling.
” That’s not the point, you should take it easy on yourself and let us help you, we are not a kid anymore” she said.
” Yeah….you made that clear” I said.
” You’re beautiful Ev, and I’m sure men will be dying to have you just like the guy over there” she said and I turned to see a guy looking at our position.
” Is he staring at us?” I asked.
” No sis….. he’s looking at you and he has been doing that for a while now” she said.
” He’s such a pervert” I replied.
” Or maybe he thinks you’re beautiful” she said and I scoffed.
” Oh he’s coming…… he’s coming over here” she said.
” What!”
” Heyy girls” I heard the man said as he got to us.
” Hi” Sarah replied.
” My name is Tom Wesley” he introduced.
” Hi my name is Sarah and this is my big sister Evelyn” Sarah said surprising me.
” Sarah!” I snapped at her.
” Nice meeting you Sarah” he said and they shook hands.
” And you too Evelyn” he said gesturing his hand for a handshake which I ignored.
” Uhhmm, I’m going to get something over there…..I’ll be back” Sarah said then she ran off.
Seriously!…. what’s wrong with this girl.
” Your sister seems nice” he said sitting beside me.
” She’s always like that” I replied.
.
The guy and I talked for a while and I get to know that he’s a police officer, I was surprised cause I don’t think I’ve seen a police officer as young as he is.
He asked for my contact but I denied him even though I kinda like our conversation, I’m just not ready to be in a relationsh¡p.
The guy is very determined cause it seems he’s not taking no for an answer.
My sisters all came back and we get ready to leave, we went back to my car with the guy still persistent then I decided to give him.
” Fine, Sophie…….give this gentleman my number” I said then ignited the engine.
” 0******87″ she called it to him and my eyes bulged out cause that’s definitely not my number.
” Thank you girls……..I call you later Evelyn…Bye” he said and I nodded trying to hide my smile and he left.
Immediately he left we all burst into Laughter then I turned to Sophie.
” Sophie…. you’re very bad” I said.
” He’s a police officer, I don’t like a police officer, they are too dumb and lazy….you don’t want to end up with them” she said.
” Whose number did you gave him anyway?…..cause it’s not any of our number” Eva asked.
” My Class Teacher”
” Whaaaat”
