Am sure you have seen that title before? Was it in a movie? Where a young annoying boy was accidentally left behind in a big house as the family went on a vacation? I have another version of HOME ALONE.(read on)
You are on your long holiday and unfortunately the holiday comes when everyone else is back to their work place and your siblings and youthful neighbors are in school. You are home alone.
You wake up when mum is leaving for work and the kids are getting ready for school. You bid them a good bye and retire to your sweet bed. You pull the bedsheets to cover yourself again and you hug the pillow while facing the roof. You start thinking about how the day will go. You are home alone.
You get out of bed having a to do list in your head, you grab a pen and paper to jot the tasks down. Task number one is to get your breakfast ready. Your father complained that you are too skinny these days so food has to be your first priority.
Task number two is to clean the house. As you do the cleaning your phone in the other room keeps pulling you.
"I need your attention girl, you haven't checked on me since last night, who will answer these texts? Come on now!" Social media is calling you but you don't want your house to stink do you?
Wait, do you want your friends to find a messy house when they come over?

You are done with the house chores, task number four is to take shower and relax. Before leaving the bathroom check carefully, you don't want to leave funny things behind. Lol 😂
You are not a movie person so relaxing means laying on the couch and listening to your thoughts. You are a talkative person so being alone means you will talk to yourself 🤗. Your thoughts are crowding in your mind. You rewind passed scenes. You find yourself giggling 🤭 because you thought of a funny scenario. You think about the times you were silly and stupid.
"I should have answered him/her this way," The past is gone.

You are very comfortable laying on the floor, playing with your African kipilipili hair, your male causin or neighbor comes in without knocking 😏. He is expecting you to jump on him but you are annoyed, he didn't knock and worst of all you weren't in your hijab. You struggle pulling the longest clothe to cover yourself. You feel like swallowing him, but you try smiling he doesn't think it's a big deal 😕.
"Tomorrow I will come with my gawn when I sit in the living room incase any annoying person who can't knock comes" you whisper to yourself.

It's lunch time but cooking for one person is boring. Plus you have bad eating habits. You think of skipping lunch but you are already skinny and you don't want to look like a skeleton 😅. You drag yourself outside to get some good food. Mama ntilie serves you.
What happens after taking your lunch? You get a book to read then sleep takes you away and you wake up to see everyone home. What a long day! You are no longer alone until tomorrow again 😅.
