Swiss' point of view.
What could be better and more lovely than having a sister that understands and will protect you at all costs?
When I was caught by Ace earlier today, I thought today would be the day Fada would disown me. Because I thought Ace would tell.
Even the way she was behaving when we were coming home, no one would say she would not discuss what she saw me doing with Fada, or mother.
After we got home, I made sure she assured me she would not tell Fada about it before I stepped out of her car. Immediately I stepped out of the car, she banged on her steering like she had made a terrible mistake.
I then went back to her to confirm if it was because of what she witnessed from the spot where she saw me.
She told me it was a personal issue. She wanted to get out of the car so she could return to the place she was coming from.
But I advised her against it. Fada had already seen her come back, and he would be angry if she left again because it was dark already.
But I was so sure what Ace wanted to go back for was something very important.
I got to my room, and I was just taking off my clothes when I heard my door creaking. I was scared at first, then I saw it was mother who came looking.
"Damn it, try to knock first, and wait until I give you permission before you enter my room," I said.
"It's okay, noted, I will abide by your rules next time, knock, wait, before I enter", she answered.
That is mother. She will always say that, and she will not change.
She would always do it her own way, coming into my room without permission.
And, at the end, she has nothing in particular to do in my room.
She only came to check on me before she went to her bed.
After she asked about my day and my well-being, she left, helping me to close my door. I went to the door, and I was about to lock it.
At the same moment, I felt a force behind the door, and the force pushed back on me.
It should be no one other than mother, I suggested. And when I looked behind the door, it was her.
She went back inside, and she asked me to come and sit beside her on the bed.
In my brain, I thought at this moment, I would be thinking about Drax. I never knew mother would come to my room and started her advices tonight.
She started by pointing out that Fada would not want me near any man.
When I heard that, my two eyeballs shifted to hers, and locked on it. I wanted to make sure I maintained eye contact, so I could guess what she was driving at, before she made her move.
When she continued, and said that me having a relationship with a man would ruin my reputation with Fada, and he would be very annoyed, disappointed, and would probably disown me for it.
My mind went straight to Ace. I had been trying to draw Ace's movement in the house since we came back, and tried to figure out if she had gone to mother to report me.
But my brain did not have time for me to think about what was bothering me.
I was really damned. At that moment, I could no longer hear, or understand a word of what mother was saying, until she shoved me, and asked me if I was listening to her.
"Don't disappoint me, my love. I would be majorly blamed if you were caught on a date with any man". She said.
It was that statement that made me realize Ace didn't say anything concerning me to her.
"Okay mother," I said, and she left.
My mind then had peace, and I threw myself on the bed to commence replaying all Drax and I discussed in an imaginary earpiece.
Ace's point of view.
If not for my sister, Swiss, I would have gone back immediately, yesterday when I forgot to exchange contact with Jason.
What was I thinking? Why would I forget such a thing? I seriously don't understand.
I only managed to close my eyes and slept last night.
I made up my mind that today, I would go back to the pub and wait there so I could see Jason, talk with him again, and exchange contact with him this time.
That was all that filled my brain before I heard a knock on my door. When I opened the door, it was Mince that was there.
Mince is very playful. Whenever she comes to my room like that, I always laugh, and mostly push her out of the room at the end, because she will be playing with every conversation.
When I first saw her at my doorstep, I was worried, but happy. I was worried that I was not in the mood for her playful habits, and I was also happy that she would play me out of having to think of Jason.
But this time is different. She looked so serious, and she appeared like someone that had got herself in some trouble, and I was baffled.
She was standing at the doorstep, and resting herself on the door frame.
I had to carry her in on my shoulder, and sat her down on my bed.
"Mince, you look pale, talk to me, what is bothering you?" I asked.
And she answered me with, "Fada would kill me".
She explained to me that she had met a guy that she fell in love with, and it was only if Fada killed her that would make her stop seeing the guy.
On hearing that, I don't know where the headache came from. I knew what I had done with Jason. I heard and knew Helen's secret. My brain was refreshed by my sighting of Swiss hugging herself and kissing a man, and now Mince again.
My headache was because I was wondering what Fada would do to us if he knew about this secret, judging by how he had always emphasized in that line, "Don't ever try to be in a relationship, don't try to spoil the mission I had worked on for my whole life".
