PART 4

_______

As I was still talking, Dennis raised his hand in annoyance to slap me.

Just at the same time, I was woken up by a hot slap from my mother. The thunderous slap reset my brain instantly and I jumped up from the bed with speed. My mom has been calling and tapping me to wake up, but unfortunately, I had gone far. 

It was holiday period, and I just came back home from school two days ago.

The beans I was cooking got burnt and my mum went to the market, only to come back and see me deeply asleep while the kitchen was smelling with smoke. 

'Tawawawa' was the sound of the slap as I quickly jumped on the bed trying to fight Dennis, only for me to see it was my mum. 

"So, it has all been a dream?", I asked unconsciously, while romancing my chin to recover from the hot slap my mum just dished me. I continued, "Dennis, trying to........" 

My mom, who was standing and looking at me in surprise and anger, couldn't wait any longer.

She interrupted me, "Gị nà Dennis rie nsị ébé ahụ. Common stand up from there before I close my eyes and open them, go take care of your burnt offering in the kitchen. In this hard economy, you're wasting my hard earned food in the name of dreaming". 

Immediately, I remembered I was actually cooking before I dozed off. What started like a brief nap had taken me to the land of the unknown. Before my mum could finish, I ran inside the kitchen, lo and behold, the beans I was cooking had turned to charcoal, and the kitchen was filled with smoke. I sat on the floor, as I reminisced on all that happened in my dream.

The End.
