TWO DAYS<br />
BEFORE<br />
CHRISTMAS<br />
Like any child at that age, Naledi is thrilled to go to a<br />
prom night, something she has been looking forward to.<br />
Unfortunately, a night of high anticipation and expected<br />
joy could end in tragedy, which was with this case when<br />
two days before Christmas something happens and her<br />
life would never be the same gain.<br />
AAs soon as the taxi driver stopped the car engine<br />
by the gate, Naledi quickly noticed that the lights<br />
in the house were off. This was unusual, very<br />
strange that her mother would never usually go to sleep<br />
until she returned. She threw a glance at the digital clock<br />
in the car, it was 23:30!<br />
She hurried and stepped out of the passenger seat,<br />
simultaneously minding with gentleness the long beautiful<br />
dress she was wearing. She slowly and gently opened the<br />
door from which hung the wreath that reminded her it<br />
was almost time for Christmas. With a torch on the wall,<br />
the room was instantly lit.<br />
Her eyes surveyed the whole room, “Mom!” she called out,<br />
but there was no response.<br />
Before leaving for prom, Naledi had sat with her mother<br />
in her bedroom as she dressed up. Linda, her mother,<br />
marvelled at how fast her little girl had grown<br />
up.<br />
“Your father would be so proud of you!” Linda<br />
said with a smile.<br />
“I know mama,” Naledi responded, with a subtle<br />
and shy smile while making a soul-searching<br />
gaze at her mother’s reflection in the mirror.<br />
Linda then tightened the straps of her daughter’s dress; it<br />
was gold, glittery, off-shoulder ball-dress that had a side slit<br />
and back straps. Naledi felt royal in that dress, it was the best<br />
thing she had owned that year!<br />
She pressed her thick lips together after applying nude<br />
lipstick. She smiled, revealing the dimples on her cheeks.<br />
“Teto will soon be here!” she hinted.<br />
That moment her brown, almond-shaped eyes lit up at the<br />
thought of Teto. She resembled Linda with the thin, long<br />
face and high cheekbones. She took the last glance at the<br />
mirror and walked out of the bedroom. Her mother came<br />
walking slowly and with almost guided steps right behind<br />
her, following her like a little child suspicious of a mother’s<br />
movements! As soon as she stepped into the living room,<br />
there was a knock at the door.<br />
