Summer Frost

“Ma’am, I won’t be able to pick the kids from school later. I have something to attend to at home. Could you go pick them yourself?’ Chloe had said on the phone earlier just a few minutes after my meeting with Lisa, Miguel offered to go pick them instead, but I insisted knowing they would be happy to see

me.

After fifteen minutes drive, I arrived at the school. They were already waiting at the parking lot when I arrived.

“I’m so sorry, my boys. Did I keep you waiting for long?” I squatted in front of them and ruffled their hair

“No, Mommy. School just dismissed. Why are you here instead of nanny Chloe? Is she alright?” Jack looked at me worriedly.

“Yes, she’s fine. She had something to attend to at home, so she couldn’t come here. Come on, let’s get going,” I held their hands and led them to the back of the car. After I belted them, I went to the driver’s seat and started the car.

“So, how was school today? Did you have fun?” I looked at them through the rearview mirror.

“Yes, Mommy. We did,”

“What about school activities? Did you participate? The teachings in class, did you understand everything?”

“Hmm, we did,”

“That’s good. You must be hungry. Should we go eat out before going home?” They usually don’t take much food to school on Fridays since they close early.

“No, Mommy. We are not hungry,” Jake shook his head, and I pulled a puzzled looke

“You had nothing before leaving for school earlier, and to the best of my knowledge, Chloe mentioned you only took snacks to school. How come you are not hungry?” They glanced at each other with suspicious look on their faces which gave me the impression that something was going on.

*Uncle Xander came to school today, and we had lunch together,” I matched the brake and the car made a loud screeching sound as it halt abruptly in the middle of the road.

“Mom!” They both shrieked with a terrified expression on their faces as a truck drove past us, almost hitting the car.

“Da mnit!” I parked the car properly at the side of the road. For the next few seconds, I tried to calm the anger that was eating me up, but the more I tried to control it, the more annoyed I was. It felt like something was fueling this burning rage in me.”

“Mom…” Even though I had not looked at them yet, I could tell from Jack’s voice that he was scared to the bone. I didn’t want to scare my kids, I wanted to be gentle with them, but this rage was too much for me to handle.

“What did I tell you about strangers?” I tried to keep my voice down. It took me all my s
