The Abominable Act

Episode 11

Nathaniel got a call from his father requesting for his return to the house that weekend, he couldn’t say no because this time it was an order coming from his father, it has been three days now since Natasha came to pay him a visit and ever since then he has been a shadow of himself, he remembered locking himself for two days refusing to see or talk to anyone even Michael his best friend couldn’t get to him, now he wonders why the sudden call from his father because he can’t remember when his father call him like that requesting for his presence at home it has always been his mum and it was use to her calls, he just hope it isn’t about what is going on between his sister and him because he wouldn’t know what to say.

He arrived at his father’s house really late because he was trying to avoid Natasha, he walk into the sitting room trying not to make a sound, he enters his room and close the door his eyes gaze at the wall clock and it says 11:23pm, he sign and goes to take his bath after that sleep came knocking, he allowed the warm hands of sleep to take him out of his worries.

Natasha opens her eyes, she search the bed with the other of her hand trying to get her phone, she was already feeling frustrated when her hand met the phone, lifting it up she looks at the phone screen after turning it on, 10:45am clearly appeared, she groans throwing the phone to her side, even since she was brought back from Nathaniel flat by Phillip the other day she hasn’t been well because she was still in shock, her mother has tried to cheer her up but it just got worse that she now stays indoor almost everyday, she was brought back from her thoughts by the knock on her door.
