She couldn't believe her own eyes There was her mother standing beside her new husband. Under the picture she read her name was Viola. Angeni wondered if she had legally changed her name or was just using it She thought about it a couple of minutes. If her mother legally changed her name she was trying to get away from her Indian heritage. If not she wondered what her mother was hiding. Ninovan started crying. Angeni knew it was past her little sissy's bedtime.
She yelled out the front door for the boys to come in and get ready for bed. She cleaned Ninovan up and dressed her in her favorite pjs and settled her into bed. She cracked the window open just a tiny bit. You could hear the indian music which always put them to sleep including herself. She had the next day off to rest up a bit. She made hot cereal and toast with juice and milk for breakfast. She saw the boys off to school giving the younger ones a hug. She cleaned the house from top to bottom.
After washing a load of clothes and linens Ninovan and her took them outside to dry on the line. She kept Ninovan in her playpen while hanging the clothes up All of the clothes including the linens felt softer and smelled so good after being dried outdoors. After dinner she had the two oldest boys clean the kitchen while she took the clothes off of the line. She made all of their beds while the boys did their homework and Ninovan played in her with the gate up.
