However she didn't hesitate to dial the number again and the call still didn't go through.
"Come on, it is bad service these days! I don't know what's wrong with all this network! come on try and go through!" Maryam muttered out and she kept on trying trying and trying but still yet they call is failing to connect.
Then she decided to back off and angrily threw her phone aside since the call isn't going through.
And in that case she will have to go and prepare the food first and wait for Christina to return from school and eat her food because that will obviously cause quarrel if she return and there is no food for her eat.
That lazy girl hate it so much whenever she return and there is no food for her to eat, she will be ready to pull down the whole house in anger and her mom will however still be petting and cuddling her because it is her child, she's mummy's pet after all.
And the worst part of it is Maryam father's phone was not going through as she is trying to place a call on him.
Her father is the only one that can threaten her stepmom not to touch her or hit her because her father have loved her.
And mostly it was because of her that her father decided to marry another woman so she can be taking care of, he knew that he can't be able to take care of a baby properly as he is not always around the child.
And bringing in a nanny is not the perfect idea because he is not always around to know if the nanny is trying, most of the time he spend days outside the house because of his business.
And because of that he believed that getting married to another wife was the best option for him as he thought.
That is why he has decided to bring Nancy in so she can take care of her since Maryam's mom have decided to abandon them and run away because of the little issue he had with her.
Maryam also had the chance to runaway with her mum but she refused because she loved her daddy that is why she decided not to go with her mom, though she pleaded with her mom and wanted badly for her to stay but her mom was so stubborn of leaving and actually left.
But now the way things are going Maryam is already trying to blame herself for not leaving with her mom, if she knew that things would result in this way she wouldn't have stayed she could have been long gone with her mom and probably enjoying life over there by now, her mum did loved her the same way her dad loved her.
So having been thinking about all this inside her room she decided to just go prepare the food she was ordered to cook and so she left her room to the kitchen where she started preparing the food.

Deborah's Adopted Home.
Deborah was still inside her room sitting so restlessly when a knock came up on her door.
She quickly stood up to her feet in fear trying to know the person behind the door.
"Excuse me...! auntie?" she called because that is probably the only person she's living with as of now.
Her auntie's husband is not yet at home so it could be no other person rather than her auntie knocking on her door.
"It is me Deborah, please open the door" Her auntie's voice came up then Deborah quickly get to her feet and took in a deep breath.
She closed her eyes wondering what she could be expecting to see.
Then she slowly approached the door and gently opened it.
"Your food is ready Deborah, would you prefer eating inside your room or you would prefer eating in dining room because I would want us to be talking, I have something I would like to discuss with you" her auntie said and Deborah was left wondering what it is that she would want to discuss with her.
And of course whatever it is is the reason why you changed her mind all of a sudden earlier on.
"You would like to discuss something with me? what...?" Deborah asked in surprise with her eyes wide opened and her auntie nodded.
"Of course, and it is something very important Deborah, so would you be prefer eating in your room or..." auntie was still saying then she interrupted her.
"Don't, there's no need of eating in my room, we should make use of the dining table, let's go to the dining table instead" Deborah responded and she nodded at her with smiles written all over her face.
"Okay then, come on, I have prepared a mouth watering food for you, I know very much that you will love it come on you should check it out, I made your favorite" Her auntie said as Deborah gives out a little confused smile.
She was surprised to hear her auntie said that she made her favorite, how did she even know her favorite food when she don't even care if she has eaten or not.
And most especially she doesn't even ask Deborah what she would like to eat she only make food and give to her whether she like it or not she will eat it.
And Deborah barely eat two square meals in a day, how the possibilities of her knowing Deborah's favorite meal is obviously impossible.
"My favorite...?" Deborah asked and her auntie nodded at her.
"Of course, your favorite...? I made fried rice for you, fried rice and some chicken, or wasn't that actually your favorite because the last time I checked it was" Her auntie responded.
Deborah only wonder's where she get all those ideas from, because fried rice wasn't even her favorite meal.
However she was more surprised that she haven't for once ate fried rice in this house so how the hell did her auntie even think of it that fried rice was her favorite food when she haven't given her such to eat? isn't that magical?
And she even add some chickens to the meal today but she preferably gives her food without meat in it.
But what is it exactly that this auntie want to discuss with her that is making her do all these things for her.
What could it be, it must be something totally in her own favor that will not in anyway favor Deborah, because if it will favor Deborah even if a little bit then she is probably not going to talk of discussing it with her but will force her to do it.
But now, she want to do it in peace but why? of course they rush you joined her at the dinning room first and know what it is.
