52: MOVING IN

LUKE’S POV

1/6

I arrived home, and the moment I stepped foot inside the house, I saw my aunt sitting down, slowly tapping the couch she perched on. She was obviously waiting for me.

“I thought I told you to come earlier. Where have you been?” My aunt asked me the moment she sighted me.

“What’s all this nonsense, huh?” I couldn’t help but get irritated by her pesky question.

“Nonsense? Is this how you talk to your elders? Don’t you have some respect in that mouth of yours?”

Here she was again, speaking like she was a god or something.

“Respect? If you could hear yourself when you were talking to me on the phone, you’d know that you deserve none.” I struck her with these words, trying to let her know the kind of person she was.

“I can see you’re trying to act stubborn, just like your father.” And she had to mention him in this.

“Don’t you dare drag my father into this.” My spleen got out, still unleashing heavily.

“What are you going to do, huh? I mean, your anger’s not going to change the fact that you are crazy, just like your father.” She kept on with her fudge.

“I’m warning you, okay? So you better watch your mouth.” I threatened her, and I swore I could rip her heart out if she didn’t zip it.

“What did you just say? Do you know I can slap the living soul out of you?” Her words were quite

flabbergasting.

“You can slap me all you want, but don’t you dare insult my father. That’s something I’m not going to be able to tolerate.” She needed to know what kind of pain she was bringing me.

“Okay, shut up. Stop trying to act all mighty around here, all because you’ve grown up. In my eyes, you’re still a little kid.” Mariam spat.

“Enough with the nonsense. Can you please tell me what you’re doing at my house?” I asked,

crossing my arms.

“Oh, you’re trying to change the topic, now?” She raised an eyebrow.
