Chapitre 34: Chapter 33
"Wakey wakey sleepy head, " I said to my cousin sister who was asleep , "No I still want to sleep, "she mumbled while pulling the bed sheets closer to her. "Wake Up!"I shouted . "I am awake I'm awake,"she said sitting up .
"Why did you wake me up so early?" she asked me while coming out of her bathroom after cleaning up, "Well before I promised you dancing and all that stuff, I promised to be your vocal coach and we are going to be starting today as in like now," I said sitting on her bed. "Omg !!You remembered …ahh thank you thank you, finally I will advance in music and be a true star," she said squealing In excitement.
"Let's take a picture together of our first day rehearsing ," I said .
"So we will drink some warm water just to relax that vocal box and do warm ups ,it's important you exercise your vocals and prepare them for the training they will undergo and make your vocals nice and easy by relaxing so let's do some warm ups And don't worry I will show you the right warm ups so that you don't damage your vocals, okay?"
"Okay," she said taking her mug of warm water. We walked into the house studio, when I was still a singer years back, I used to practice and write my songs in here but when I stopped singing we wanted to close it but my cousin sister here decided to take over and use it to start her singing career which she hasn't really taken so seriously but from now on she will.
We did warm ups for about 30 minutes and then we then started practicing , "I want to see where you vocals are so I need a sing that will stretch and squeeze your vocals at the same time but first sing stitches for me," I said as I sat down on the office chair .She started singing and she was okay until the chorus , "Stop ,you were okay until the chorus put power in your voice do it again from the chorus."
"You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Aching ,falling unto my knees-"
"Stop restart again ,I want to feel it Cuzy and I am not ," I said standing up as I approached her.
She sang again and this time her voice had that thing I needed , "Can I sing Dance for you I have some little hiccups here and there ," she said after she had finished singing stitches.
"Sure"
"And just know I will never ever give you up and I wanna say thank you in case I don't thank you enough-"
"Stop," I said as I walked towards the shelf to the left ,I searched through some files until I found my file ,I removed the file and flipped through it . "Here we go ," I said showing her the paper with some diagrams , "I used this method when I practised with cherly porter back then it helped me get things right so the part where I stopped you ,you didn't do it right so I will use this diagrams to help you get it right ," I said.
"Yeah you almost there but remember its not smooth but its like there are full tops like it's a bumpy road smooth but bumpy like here follow this okay?"
"Yes ," she said .
"Again," I said this was her third attempt she was almost there but a few mishaps .
"-daddy you know wassup ," she said and stopped to get my input , "That was amazing continue and finish off the song and remember as you get to the end it's rougher ,her vocals are rough but exotic,"I said .
"That was good just a little practice on those parts and you girl are the next Beyonce so let's take a mini break while I set something up then we sing together our song ," I said and she nodded while going to refill the mug with warm water by the water tank while I set up the computer and stuff ,after a while we wore head phones and got ready to sing the song ,Minefields by John Legend and Faouzia .
"Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough
Started bringing up the past
How the things you love don't last
Even though this isn't fair for both of us
Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are
Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I didn't notice what I lost
Until all the lights were off
And not knowing what you're up to tortured me
Now this might be a mistake
We're broken in so many ways
But I piece us back together slowly
Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are
Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Whoa, what I risk to be close to you
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (to be close to you)
Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (to you, to you)
Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough"

"Wow you really did outshine I'm proud of you give me a high five ," I said high fiving her.
"Thank you I have been practicing," she says.
"Do you really want to enter the music industry ?Are you ready to be part of it because it's not easy it's a dangerous game sometimes but also a fun one ," I asked her .
"Yeah I am music is a part of me and when I sing and listen to music I am taken to a whole new world it's like in that world I can do what I want whenever I want and fame is not something that I am aiming for but a bonus to be honest I want to sing and share my songs with the world so that they also travel into the world I see myself into," she said her eyes shining .
"I love that you know what you want but be careful when you are in it you could divert from your aim and do things that you never planned before because you have become so comfortable and drawn in the world of fame , remember it might be nice and all but be who you truly are I know you will make mistakes but don't let them define you but build and learn ,move on look forward after all Life Goes On," I said looking in her eyes holding her cheeks , "Your hands are warm and I am in love with them ,why do you speak as if you wont be there ,I want to walk the red carpet with you by my side ,that's my biggest wish ," she said as she closed her eyes holding my hand against her cheek.
"I am still here don't worry ,in case I wont be and your wish is my command ,one day ."
The door to the studio opened and Fakir walked in ,he opened the door to the recording side and pocked his head in , "We looked everywhere for both of you but you are in here ,aunty said come down it's breakfast time ," he said and walked out .
"Let's go eat and you will come back and practice more then tomorrow we do something new after this I will need to go shopping with aunty I promised to go with her ," I said as I stood up and walked out .
"Morning everyone ," I said as I sat by the dining table , "Morning ," they answered .
"So Anika by the way who is this father of your child?"
"Aunty no I said I will keep that to myself ," I said as I plated for myself. "Don't eat that pawpaw is not good for a pregnant woman ," my other aunt said as she stood up and took away my plate with pawpaw, "Aunty no I love that please ," I said following her . "No Anashe you can't eat that ."
"Please ,pwease pwease," I said hugging her waist , "Kafu I won't repeat myself ,"she said as she passed the bowl of pawpaw to Fakir ,I tried approaching him but he raised his hand for me to stop , "I am tired I was busy all night don't even start with me ," he said as she put the pawpaw bowl down.
I saw dad come downstairs and walked to him with my arms open , "Papa ,Fakir and aunty don't want me to eat Pawpaw ," I said faking a sob . "Oh Chocolate pumpkin don't cry eat something else ," he said hugging me , "Stop being dramatic Anika I don't know why pregnant woman think that crying will solve all their problems ," Fakir said as he stood up and walked away annoyed .
"What the –" aunty said as she looked at all of us shocked . "What's wrong with him ?"
"I don't know let me go and talk to him ," I said as I followed him to his room ,he was standing by the window looking outside as his chest moved up and down,meaning he was crying.
"Fakir ," I said as I walked closer to him ,I touched his shoulder and he turned around and hugged me tight while sobbing , "Please don't leave us please ," he said in between his sobs .
"Fakir what are you talking about ," I asked rubbing his back , " I saw the doctor's message in your phone she said that she has found a doctor for you to help you deliver safely but she wont guarantee that you won't die ,so you are going to die?" he said .I was speechless , "No Fakir what-what are you saying I won't die no no that's not the case," I said .
"Anashe please just don't die please," he said as he cried even more . "I -I ," I tried talking but words failed me as tears escaped my eyes , "I don't care what you have to do but please don't die just for me ," he said .
"Fakir I am not going to die ,the doctor said that because of my heart but I am recovering and she said that because I hadn't taken a break now I am not working or doing excessive things so my heart is relaxed ,"I said .
"But that message said otherwise please don't lie to me," he said .
"I am not we will go to the doctor together and you will see for yourself please trust me I am not dying ,I will never die."
We sat on the bed as he tried to calm down ,I caressed his head until he fell asleep and I tucked him in comfortably , who said boys are not cry babies . I walked out of the room and went downstairs to where everyone was finishing off their breakfast , "What's wrong honey your eyes are red ?" Aunt asked . "Nothing Fakir and I were bonding ," I said smiling .
"What's his deal?" dad asked .
"He didn't take the pregnancy well but we are fine now ," I said sitting down .
"Sister your phone is ringing ," cuzy said .
"Thanks ," I said answering the call .
"Heyyy." I said .
"I am angry," Ayesha said.
"Ayeshaaaaa!!"
"Don't start with me ."
"Im sorry but I sent you a message ," I said.
"Message and call are different Anashe I miss you and your voice and you didn't even call me ," she said whining.
"I misss you toooo , lord heaven I miss you so much ," I said as I felt teary .
"Me too how's everything and everyone there."
"Everyone is good and they miss you too and especially meee!!"
"Woah looks like someone is obsessed with me ," she said laughing.
"My babies love you and I just want to hold your face and kiss you everywhere that's kissable,"I said chuckling . "I love them too and miss them ."
"Let me talk to Ayesha ," aunty said taking my phone ,I stood up and went to fetch my camera and clicked photos of Fakir sleeping and of the family in the dining table , "You click so many pictures these days ."
"I need memories a reminder of my most precious moments ."
"Are you still accompanying me to the shopping centre ?"
"Yes aunty let's go," I said .
We went to the shopping centre and shopped with aunty I had to cover myself up so that no one sees my face and a commotion is caused but I enjoyed shopping with aunty and clicking pictures .
