The rest of the days wasn’t that bad as i was spending most of my time arranging and preparing for my departure on monday, Saturday came i inform my mum and grandma that we’ll be visiting AuntyDora, grandma wasn’t that Comfortable but had no choice not without warning us to make sure we don’t go beyond AuntyDora’s place.
After we finished our morning routine and was set to go mum gave us transport fare.
Mum: Jerry take care of your sister
Oooo.
Esther; ha mummy I’m i a kid?
Jerry: of course you are, kid sister
Mum smile, Esther pinch me, we left to Diamond Hill where our aunty lived, on getting there i knocked for some seconds before Victoria opened.
Vickky: hey mummy is Jerry ooo
She yell and left the door ajar for us to step in while she ran to go inform her mum
AuntyDora: look who we have here
Esther: goodmorning afternoon Aunty
AuntyDora: afternoon dear, how’re you?
Esther: fine ma
All those time aunty Dora was asking Esther her well being, Victoria was busy giving me thumb up, i only smile and shook my head “corrupt mind” i murmur to myself
Me: aunty meet my younger sister Esther
Victoria: what?
Victoria yelled, she was surprised to hear that from me and so her mother too.
AuntyDora: you mean your parent had another child?
She lower her gaze on Esther for awhile and nod, satisfied on her observation.
AuntyDora : how old is she?
Esther: i’m 13 aunty
AuntyDora: but you look 17, so that mean i now have a niece after three nephews.
Vickky: welcome Esty babe
Esther smile and giggle on the way victoria act, we chat, ate and play some games with Victoria.
When we were set to leave, i told my aunty that were leaving
AuntyDora: Vick! Vickky!
Vickky: yes mummy
She ran out from the kitchen with two bags, stretch one to me and the other to Esther who scream in excitement on checking the content of the bag.
AuntyDora: get me my handbag
Victoria disappear into the hallway heading to the staircase, she came back after one minute, my aunty gave me some N1000 nomination in about ten pieces and gave Esther same too
Me/Esther: thank you aunty
AuntyDora: you’re welcome my children.
Me; aunty i need a favour from you!
She gave me a puzzle look then nod her head for me to go on.
Me: I’ll be living Nigeria on monday, please i want victoria to play a role of a big sister to Esther as I’m going to be away because sometime the house becomes boring.
Vicky: oh that? With all pleasure dear baby Esty.
AuntyDora: hope you heard it from the horse mouth?
We burst into laughter, Victoria drove us home on her mother’s toyota camry.
Me: i didn’t know you can drive,
Vicky: as you can see i can drive
Esther: will you teach me?
i and victoria exchange glance before laughing out loud.
Esther: sister Vicky don’t be like my brother ooo.
This time around i laugh harder which earn me a harmless punch from her.
Vicky drop us at home, after exchanging pleasantries with grandma and our mom she drove home, i went to my room to sleep but sleep didn’t appear, i just lay there thinking how my life wil be in London and how I’m going to miss my mum, grandma and Esther,
As soon as i include her name(Esther) on my mind she came into my room looking depress and gloomy, i stood up and hug her, before i knew she started crying, i felt bad for seeing my only sister cry Right in My arm, i can still remember when i was in secondary school, anytime i heard my sister is been beaten by any student I’ll go give the senior or any student a warning or i report to the school authority, i succeeded in calming her.
Esther: so big bro, you going to leave me all alone here?
She said in a teary voice, i draw her close to me
Me: please Esther don’t do this I’m not going to be dead, I’m just going there to study when I’m done with studies I’ll be back to you, mum and grandma okay?
She nodd and i started stroking her hair till she fell a sleep, i lay her on my bed and watch her sleep “i wish i could take her with me” i said to myself before sleeping off too.
