Instead,mom just stared at me with no possible come back,her expression was totally over the roof,father continued eating,pretending not to hear anything,but I noticed,the smile at the corner of his lips.
Then mom turned to silent father,"aren't go you going to say anything about this?"she asked him
"What do you mean 'say anything?isn't that what you are doing?"he replied by asking her
"David Clement?"mom called dad by his name,which she always does when pissed "your daughter just said she is not going to college,and you are not going to do anything?You are too clamming for this."
Dad signed tired dad refuted,mimicking mom,"Joy Clement ,I don t see you doing anything."
While Aiden and filora were laughing at the sound of Father's voice,I just stared at my parents' weirdly; then it dawned on me,I looked at Father puzzled "dad?"
"Yes."He answered without looking at me
"Did you know I was going to say something like that?"I asked him
"What?How would he know something like that?"mom, in turn, asked me
Nope,he shouldn't have remained calm when I refused the money,he must have known,I looked at him again "No,no mom,I am sure dad knew how today would turn out," I stared at him,the added "right dad ?"
"Haha,haha, you are not going to leave me alone until I answer you, right?"
"Most definitely, dad,"
He just smiled at me,"I won t say I knew,more like got the intuition."He paused then stared at me,"you are your mother's daughter,so It's expected,but are you going to be okay staying at home?"
"I can manage,dad ,don t worry about me."I smiled at him,but mother wasn't happy about it
"I can't believe you are giving her the go-ahead,we struggle all these years just for her to what? Throw it away?"mom was still furious about it,but dad had to calm down.
"Honey,if this is the decision she has made,who are we to stop her? As long as she knows what she is doing is fine,right?"
"That s not what I am saying."Mother replied to him
I very well understand what mother was trying to say,even though I didn't imagine I would be able to give up my longtime dream just like that "mother I understand what you are trying to say."
"Do you, kayla?Because I am starting to doubt that,"
"Mom, I do understand what you are trying to say,but you are looking at it from the wrong angle," I said confidently. This made Father look at me confusedly
"Oh,is that so?"
"Yes mom,I know I have always dreamt of going to college and going beyond that,and I still am dreaming about it and I know one day I will achieve it all but right I am not throwing away my dreams I am merely just changing it.Instead of dreaming for myself,I am dreaming for my siblings."Mom for once was looking at me with a thoughtful expression,"so I think it will be okay,even if It's not my dream."
Mom signed at loud; with a worried look,she asked me,"then what will you be doing at home?We are not rich and in this corner of town to get a better pay job,you must be at least a college graduate; you know that,right?"
"I know that,but It's alright,I can work with you in your shop and dad's on the farm.I can even sell some vegetables and fruit in the counter market; surely I will make some money. isn't that okay?"
"Seriously,why am I even wasting my time talking sense into you? You are stubborn,just like your father."
Laughing,"Mother,and here I thought I was exactly like you."
"You thought wrong,dear."
"I don t think so," dad added and looked at me,"you are exactly like your mother,stubborn to the born."
We all laughed at mom's shocked expression,"You...How dear you pig head."
"Coming from a dog head,that s funny," dad slam mom
We all laughed at dad and mom's teasing on the dinner and once again we the happiness returned to my sister's face,and I,for one,was very glad.
