356 The defeaning silence

Ch-356 

Esther woke up with her son in her arms. She kissed him before getting up from her bed. Stretching her body, she shielded her face with the back of her hand from the 'harsh' sun rays. Seeing her sleeping son beside her she smiled contently. 

"Reggie, wake up, it's late," Esther said as she shook his little body with her nimble hands. 

"Momma, Reggie wants to sleep for some more time," Reggie mumbled. 

"Reggie would be late to school. If that happens Reggie will be scolded by his teacher,"  she said. 

"But Reggie is tired," Reggie tried to negotiate. 

"Then momma will be sad if Reggie is late," Esther said to her son. When she saw him not budging from his position. 

"Then there would be no party in the dinner today," Esther said.
