Chapter 2: New
We just got off the plane and hell I'm tired, I can't believe we have to take so many flights to reach
South Africa.
Luckily we here, I swear it was a life time flight. Thanks God. The airport is beautiful and big, real big.
We walk towards the airport while our bags were taking care off.
I took out my phone to call Chrissy, I promise her I would call her...."Lucia put your phone away, you
can call Chrissy when we in the taxi please. "mom told me.
I listened to her and put it away. We reach the airport and I kind of get scared because here is so many
people. Is this people really all going to other places of coming from other places.
My Heart starts to beat as I catch up with my mom and take her hand In mine seeing her smile at me. I
just roll my eyes at. I'm just glad she is here with me. I'am acting like a baby now.
This side of the city is cold. I grabbed my jacket tightly when a cold wind suddenly floating making me
miss our place already. There is so warm.
"You fine darling?" I heard mom asked me which I find strange, but maybe just because she is a
concerned mother.
"Yes mom, thank you, and you, are you fine? I asked her while we wait for our luggage.
" I couldn't be any better my baby, mom is going to be fine". she told me with her beautiful smile on her
face making me smile as well.
When the taxi stopped in front of us, I couldn't wait to get in. Mom also join and sit down.
"Good morning welcome to northern cape kimberley." the driver spoke.
"Good morning and thank you", we greet him back. I couldn't wait to get my out and call Chrissy, I was
so excited.
"She must be asleep by now, the time there is different form here", she told me, but I didn't listen and
just dailed her number hearing the phone ring. I was so excited to hear her voice as I smiled into the NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
phone.
I was about to drop the phone when I heard her voice on the other side of the phone..."Hi, who is
this?"She ask sounding asleep making me giggle.
" HI, it's me Lucia, I'm sorry for waking you up and mom told me you would be asleep, but I couldn't
wait to hear your voice, I miss you." I told her.
"Oh,okay sorry, I had wondered who will call so late. I'm glad that you guys reach there save .I miss
you guys too."she spoke sounding so sad through her sleepiness.
I got quiet for a while looking at my mother not knowing what to respond. I felt bad for leaving her there
all alone." We miss you so much darling, I just wish you could be here with us right now. "mom told her
hearing her sight and take a few breaths.
I glance at mom for telling her that, she lift her shoulder shaking Her head." I'm sorry about that mom, I
promise I will visit soon", she spoke.
"Thank you my baby, I know you will, but call us everytime and you can asked us everything okay.
"mom reassure her.
" Thank you too mom, and I hope you going to love your new home, babe thanks for the call, I need to
get back to sleep now and please don't forget about beautiful guys you promise me". she told me
ending the call. my eyes furrowed in shock, mom just hear that.
I couldn't find the courage to look at mom, to see the shock on my face,but I have to face her sooner or
later. I felt how she look at me and I glance at her seeing he look at me with also shockness and raise
eyebrows.
"Uhm beautiful guys, I see." she spoke looking back out of the window.
I sight, "stupid bitch..." What was that young lady? "She asked me making me flince.
" Uh mm nothing mom." I told her scratching my head, how could she do this to me. I'm so going to kill
her.
I really missed her and this place look boring all ready. I look out the window and find everything
amazing as we pass certain places. I just wish she could be here with me, we would have stop, just to
take pictures. I go through my phone and reach my gallery smiling at the picture of me and chrissy. It's
so hard really.
The drive is long, boring and it is so quiet in this car, the drive didn't even play some nice music. I
glance at the driver and he seems to be in his own world.
Mom was also quiet, so I wasn't going to bothered her either. I looked through the window of the cab
and sight thinking to myself. That maybe this place is going to bad as I think. Im going to love it and I'm
going to make it so fun for myself. I just it also have a lot of opportunities be I have so many dreams in
mind to do when I'm done with school. Thinking about school, I hope it's going to be a best school with
some nice teachers and learners.
I going to need a part time job for after school, because I'm not going to be all alone in that house
because mom is going to work and I will be alone. I have to stay busy, to keep me from thinking of
chrissy.
I couldn't stop thinking about her been alone there, so I decided to play my favorite game farmheroes
on my phone. This ride is going to take forever I need to do something. I lost my mind and attention on
my game hearing voice talking. I stop and glance at mom.
"Mom, did you say something? I asked her.
" Oh no darling, I was exactly telling the driver where we going. "she told me smiling.
Okay.
" Ma'ma is this your first time, here in South Africa? "the driver asked as I roll my eyes.
Oh not really, but this is surely my daughter's first time and she is kind of boring mom told him making
me gaspe with my hand in my mouth
Mom", I breathe out... "What darling, you didn't utter one word about this place, all you do is sulking on
your phone."she told me looking out the window.
" I didn't know I should have said something", I spoke looking at her hearing the driver giggle.
"Yes, darling I need to know, how you think about this place are you loving it what do you think? "she
asked me.
I sight crossing my arms," mom really now?"
"Yes child,..." Uhh, okay, it's fine so far and I love it, it's beautiful."i told her and getting back on my
phone.
" Okay if you say so." mom told me putting her on my lap caressing it.
" How long till we reach the place, my back can take it anymore and I'm hungry. "I groan out getting
tired of the sitting.
"Almost there, almost dear. "the drive added.
" It's Magersfontein memorial farm." mom told the driver.
" We should be there by now. "he respond.
" Thank you sir.
Suddenly we drove down a path which looks so scary, there's no single house around here just only big
trees and it look like we headed through a forest. It was a big open forest.
"Mom, why we going through a forest? " I asked still focusing on the road as we pass different trees.
"Because my parents own half of this forest and we going to stay on the farm where I grow old." she
told me with a smile on her face and light in her eyes.
I felt happy for a moment to see her like this if this is going to change her mood then surely I'm going to
love this place. If mom is happy then I'am. I love my mom, she is also one of my best friends and a
strong women which I'm grateful to call my mother. I have thought when receiving the divorce she was
going to break down and go back to drinking her so drunk and changed,my dad is her life, I mean was.
She really loved him and still does.
I hope this place is going to work out all well for us. Dad didn't call me like he promised I quess he has
deleted me as well too. I don't care is not like he was ever there for me.
Here she is, taking everything upon herself to make me happy to see me happy. She keeps her head
high not caring about her problems.
" This so deep." I whispered out.
" No need to be scared lady, you save here. I can guarantee you that." the drive told me smiling as I
glance his way.
Who knows what creepy thing is hiding in this trees, I thought to myself and sight when the car finally
came to a halt.
"Magersfontein memorial farm house." the driver said as he open the door for mom and went to get out
our luggage.
I stood frozen staring at the beautiful sight in front of me. It was a red brick double store house, maybe
three store. I didn't know what to do or what to say my mouth hang open hearing my mom giggle next
to me.
"I told you would love it". "she remind me closing my mouth as she just laughed and walk away opening
the gate.
" Wow. "was I could get out starting to find my feets and walk towards the house, it is indeed a farm
house surrounded with many beautiful flowers.
I inhale the freshness of the flowers as it flows through my nostrils giving me a good feeling. I pick up
my two bags and follow mom still focusing on this house not even knowing when the driver left.
"This is so beautiful mom, is this really your house wow, it's so amazing I need to take pictures and
send it to chrissy." I yell smiling and turning all around to check out this beautiful place.
"Is ours darling." she said laughing, "before you take pictures came in and freshen up we going out to
the city, to get something to eat and we also needs to do something." she told me.
We enter our new house and the warm of this house already made me feel welcome. We checked
every room for assurance that everything is fine. Our things wasn't here yet mom said that it should be
here around tomorrow so for now I'm heading to my bedroom damn it is huge and beautiful it look out
towards the forest.
After both me and mom has freshen up, we headed down towards the garage and my face felt again
when I see a black range rover standing here shining.
"What oh no, this is not yours, I said looking at me who just smiled at me.
" Why isn't it mine, it was my dad's so of course this belongs to me, come on get in.
"Can I drive mom? " i asked looking at her.
"You can, anytime but not today, first you have to know the roads and how they drive here." she told me
climbing in at te driver side. I climb in next to her at the passenger seat enjoy the comfort of the
beautiful baby.
"Let's go mom." I said with joy in my voices.
. Oh yes....
