CHAPTER SIX
??????? ????
We just arrived at at the station lucky for us there's a bus that's heading to Harare right now , l already bought the tickets with the money lve been secretly saving and it could even last me six months if l use it wisely .
We are told to get in the bus , we walk to our sit number waiting for the rest to follow suit .I look by the window as our luggage is being put in the boot .
Joshua: Mommy where are we going ?
Me : We going to Harare baby , you going to meet granny there .
Joshua : Yey lm so happy , so we no longer going to stay with daddy .
Me : Something like that .
Tiana : well l hope we don't go back even though I'll miss having a father around what difference would it make because he was rarely around anyways.
okay - l don't have a come back for that .
Now that everything is ready , everyone has taken their seats the bus starts moving . Harare here we come , what do you have instore for us ?
After a long drive we finally arrive at the border , we do what is needed changing our sim cards to Econet . The bus takes of once again and the kids are already asleep , l decided to join them since lm now feeling sleepy.
l flap my eyes waking up from my sleep . The sun is starting to rise and we still on the road.
Joshua : ( yawning) Good morning mommy.
Me : Morning baby how did you sleep .
Joshua : l can't complain .
Tiana: my neck hurts , how do you manage .
l chuckle , l mean my body hurts too .
Me : Don't worry you will get use to it .
l pass them they're lunchboxes with some sandwiches inside . The bus comes to a stop as we arrive in Harare , we took our luggages getting into a taxi headed to where my mother stays .
I stand by the door with my kids not forgetting our luggage .
Joshua : is this where granny stays ?
Me : Yes .
Joshua : (giggles ) okay , why you not knocking mommy .
I smile , oh this one is just so sweet . l knock on the door waiting for someone to open . After a few knocks someone finally opens the door .
She stood by the door with her mouth agape , dropping the broom she was holding looks like l desturbed her from cleaning .
Her : Mwana wangu (my child ) is that you ?
I nodd my head vigorously , with my tears betraying me as they flow like a river .
Me : lm back mama .
She opens her arms and l waste no time taking her into an embrace even the kids join in.
