“mum are you there??” Sarah spoke placing the phone back on her ear
“yes baby, what happened?”
“Debra was going out. When are you and dad arriving tomorrow?”
“we are scheduled for the 7am flight so we should get to JoBurg by 1pm thereabouts”
“okay mum. Debra and I would be there to pick you up. Johannesburg International airport right?”
“yes dear. I’ve got to go now, I’m not done packing and your sister is being a brat”
“hold on a minute mum”
“yes baby, did you forget something?” her mum sounded impatient
“no, not really. I wanted to ask if uhm” how was she going to ask her mum without sounding weird? “is Kenny coming with you tomorrow?” she continued in a small voice
“I’m sorry sweetheart, you should understand she’s still trying to get over what happened. Give her some more time, I’m sure she’d be fine with time” her mum was trying to be optimistic but she could sense the disappointment in her voice.
“it’s okay mum. I understand” it wasn’t like she was expecting Kenny to come anyway, after what she did to their relationship and things she said to her a little over four years ago. She just wished her sister could be there to celebrate her. It wasn’t going to happen.
