Alysher, Alysher,
Someone kept calling my name in the dream until I felt a hot slap on my back.
It wasn't a dream.
It was my mum calling me to come out for prayers by 3:30am.
Who does that?who does that?
Alysher's mum of course.

Oh yes! when ever my mum wakes up before you, just know that sleep has finished for you.
Let me tell you why.
My mum goes around the house by anytime of the night, praying and sprinkling anointing oil all over the place in the name of sending Demons away of which I'm not against.
What I'm against is when the prayer is solely focused on me for a long time.
Am I the only prayer point in this house?
I've learnt to live with it but whenever she wakes me up so early like today,I just feel like crying.

I purposely ask to lead the devotion because I do it so fast that we could be done in five minutes just so I can go continue with my sleep especially because sleep gets sweeter in the morning but no my parents won't let it happen and that's what my mum and Dad  specially have in common.
I am a child of God and I love reading the word of God and praying but when it goes beyond what I can handle,hmmmm.

Sometimes I wish I could skip the part where after  reading the commentary, you ask if there's an addition.
Just forget it.My mum will add until she's out of context then my Dad will draw her attention and begin to speak grammar that I don't even understand, before you know it,they start a panel discussion and I totally become lost. Oh! I didn't mention the part where you ask for prayer request,then my mum tells a thirty minutes story before dropping a one sentence request at the end of the tale.
To cut the long story short,I doze off all the time only to be awake when I hear voices reciting the lord's prayer.
I say my greetings, go back to bed to continue my sleep not without grumbling about how the prayers took so much time and it's five fifty two a.m already and I'd have to prepare breakfast for my Dad before he goes to work.

My phone vibrates…
Zzzzzzz zzzzzzz zzzz
Please can someone remind me to set my phone on silent?
Who calls someone by this time of the day?
All thanks to whoever it is,my sleep is completely gone.

Me:hell……o

Muse:my love.

Me:my love for where?why are you calling me this early?

Muse:I want to be the first human to talk to you this morning.

Me: your late,I've spoken to my parents already so what do you want.

Muse: madam calm down  abi do you want to come and beat me?

Me: I'll beat the hell out of you I mean who calls someone this early? you are a boy why are you up early?

Muse: I'll call you anytime I want to.Im your boyfriend so I'd call you by morning,mid day,mid night,all the time…as long as I want to hear your sweet voice.

At that moment,I was smiling really hard.

Me:ok good morning.

Muse: you finally have sense to greet…. take care of yourself bye.

Ends the call.

I silently whisper I love you too before going out to do the days business.

"Alysher, Alysher, Alysher….Aly ……"

"Ma" I answered her.

"I've been calling since and you could hear me but you refused to answer.you see why I use to say that you want to kill me?yes why would a good child not answer immediately? The Doctor said that my blood pressure is still high and it's because of you only you in this house but you know what? I will not die! You will not kill me because I didn't kill my mother you hear? Nonsense child come and tie my head tie for me."

And that's how my mom will insult me and at the same spot ask me to do something for her.
Nice of you mum! you are the best mum in the world I sarcastically whisper to myself.

How can you answer someone who doesn't give the room for you to answer?
Imagine it this way…
"Alysheralysheralysheralysher then finally a single Alysher?

It's not my fault that I'm always angry.
I had no room for joy unless my boyfriend show's up in the situation but then,I sometimes unleash my anger on him just like I will do now cause my phone was ringing.

I pick up.

Me: what!

Muse:I just called to say I love you since I didn't say it the other time.
 
My heart sinks

Me: you have said it now are you satisfied?

Muse: Did I offend you or something.

Me:no I just don't want to talk.

Muse:it's okay, we'll talk later I love you.

Me:........

I silently end the call with regret.
I really want to talk to him but what would I say? where will I start from?
I seriously don't want to drag him into all this.
The guy is just too good to me.

I pick my phone,text him"I'm sorry", angrily throw my phone,shut my door and force myself to have siesta.
