™Their faces were red and bloated with the effort to go out, but their mother would not open the door, everything was still curtained and shuttered in a way that stifled the children, made them feel that their lungs were stuffed with cotton wool and their noses with dust and if they didn't stay indoor to see the light and see the sun and from the window they would choke™
"But mum why aren't we allowed to go out and Maya is out there"
"Sweetie, we have got a scorching sun out there, would you want your daddy to get get mad at us?"
"No mum, so why don't we call Maya in"
"Yes I wi..."
"Hummmph! as if I care!"
"Well I wasn't talking to you and I do not care if you give a damn or not!"
"Ana! Rose! have you forgotten I am right here?"
"Sorry mum said Ana"
"Won't you apologize Rose?"
"Well mum, you have got your sorry from Ana or you could go get it from your favorite Maya out there why bothering me?" smh! and then she walked away....their mother looked so devastated by her first daughter's attitude.
"Mum?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"Are you sad about Rose?"
"No my darling, I am not."
"Of course you should know her better, she is your daughter."
"Mrs Sonia drew Ana closer for a sweet lovely hug...Thank you sweetie, now go check on your brother if he is up, if not try to wake him up peacefully, it's time for breakfast."
"Alright mum".... she left.
Looking out through the window, we could see a beauty. A beautiful woman feels beautiful within, from the love she gives to her ideas and the creative ways she expresses her soul. She is one who wraps her arms around the soul of the world, of all who love her and those who need to love. That's beauty and if you can see that too, you'll be smarter and wiser than most.... One of those beauty's could be seen in through the tiny window by the dinning side. (Maya)
Her mother smiled while whispering her name.
Maya; A lovely dove, an angelic little girl of 5 years, playing with the little puppy Ruby....
"Maya!" her mother called out!
She turned around upon hearing her mother's voice, the big smile which showed up on her face could bring about peace in a war field.... she ran towards her mum.
"Mama!"
"Oh my baby.... it's sunny, let's get inside, we should have breakfast."
"Okay mama."
"Yes my love," she carried her in while Ruby followed.
....
"Rey!" she tilted his pillow slightly
"Huuuuuuhhhhh..... What is it Ana?"
™She blushed...™
"Good morning Brother, how did you know it was me?" he turned around and faced her, pulling her cheeks,
"Who is the sweetest damsel that tilts my pillow most mornings?"
"I do!"
"That's it sweetie." He hugged her lovely that you might think she is his favorite sister.
"Brother, mum asked you to come downstairs, it's time for breakfast fast."
"Right Angel, I will be there soon."
"Alright, see you," she left and went to her room.
"What are you doing here?"
"That's non of your business!"
"Well, I careless, just don't try to play some smart tricks on me this time around, it would never work! don't you dare!"
"I am sensing you are forgetting, I am your older sister!"
"Just a year!"
"You can't buy that from the market or grocery store, so get that straight into your head!"
"You don't come into my room and argue with me, now get out!"
"We shall see!"... rose stormed out of the room in anger and bumped into Rey.
"Good morning beautiful! how are you this weekend?"
"Well no one cares for me you can't miraculously ask that from no where" she yelled."
"He bent over and rubbed her hair back, "Rose, I just want you to know I love you so dearly, you have to put away those negative thoughts off your head, everyone loves you, I, Ana, Maya, mum, dad, and Mark, we both love you so dearly."
"Hufff! you don't love me! you only love the rest of your siblings, you like Ana and Maya the most!"
"What makes you say so sweetie?"
"You all take Ana's side most of the time, without listening to my own side of the story! you are all mean people in this house," she ran off to her room and locked up the door.
"Knock Knock Knock"
"Go away I don't want to talk to you."
"Baby I want to show you something precious!"
"What?"
"Just open up first...." she opened the door and behold it was the beautiful young baby of the house.... Rose grew a lot of smile in a couple of seconds!
"My cutie..." she hugged her, cutie tell me our big brother was at the door just now wasn't he?
"Yes he was, but he told me that you are mad at me, so I am here to apologize, I am sorry big sister"
"Oh not Maya, don't do that. I can never be mad at you."
"Thank you, mum called for breakfast."
"Sure lead the way"... she smiled at her
"I thought you would still be in your room sulking Ana"
"Rose!" their mum yelled.
"Mum, not again!"
"You are the one behaving like a kid now."
"Muumm?" Rose was stunned by her mother's word
"No mum, just let her be, she has always been like that, I am use to her useless taunts!"
"How dare you?"
"How dare my older sister always pulling my leg?"
"Ana! Rose! when will you both stop this nonsense? would you behave like this if father was on sit?"
"Well, brother you should speak to Rose to stop all this dirty games of hers"
"Ana!" he looked at her with a stern look, I am not done talking, you shouldn't talk!"
Breakfast scene was quite peaceful, and then they all went to their rooms but Rose didn't.
....
Back in the bedroom...
"Well Ana you think you are smart?"
Ana looked furious,
"What do you mean?"
"You play dirty games and make me the villain."
"Everyone in the house knows you have a problem with Maya and I, you felt more insecure ever since Maya came into our lives!"
"Ana my sweet sister! I am the villain just because I want it to look like that, but on the day I decide to stop being the villain, everyone would realize your true color and your true face"
"Rose! I don't care how you will do that, but I know you are never going to stop tormenting I and Maya!"
"Ana don't you dare try to ever provoke me again!" she left slamming the door.
