“Henry, you have to stop here, my mother might see us together if you drop me off in front of my house” I indicated.

We are riding back and he insisted he would drop me off in front of my house and I am not ready to batter words with my mother if she sees us.

“Babe, that’s not fair, can’t you see? If we keep playing hide and seek in this relationship then she would never find reasons to let us be!” He stated flatly.

We are already getting closer to the estate, he slowed down and packed “why are you stopping?” I asked not ready to come down from the bike.

“Yvonne, we can’t fight against your mother if …”

“I know but we can start doing that from another day or something, I’m too tired to argue with her if she sees us together!” I cut him off.

“Besides, I don’t want to feel sad today at all, let me go to sleep dreaming only about us in that garden” I added circling my hands around his waist.

“Well …it’s already getting dark” he chuckled softly and when I looked at his face, a provocative smile was playing on his lips.

“Tomorrow, teach me how to ride a bike, so I can give you a… naughty lift to heaven!” I giggled slipping my hand into his shirt to trail my fingers on his skin.

“Don’t start, you will get yourself to blame if I take you here and now because we are gonna end up being the next gist on every blog on social media before morning” he jested.

“My mom will remind me that she told me you were of no good in the first place” I smirked

He laughed and drove off again, he kissed me goodbye in front of the house they used to live, I was lucky, my mom didn’t see me because ours is behind the building.

The night that followed was splendid, early the next day, my old friends came to see me and we all hanged out.

On our way back, I went over to Henry’s family house and they were excited to see me, I had thought they might be angry with me as my mom was to him.

“Well, we are sorry for your loss, your father was a good man and I wish he had lived many more years” his father said.

“It’s okay sir, death is inevitable, we only just pray to live longer and not to die young” I replied.

“So, how about your education? I know you have graduated, I have really missed you and Grandma always asks about you” his mother said cheerfully.

“Where’s grandma now?” I inquired as I enjoyed the food she gave me.

“Ah! She left to the village with her grandchild” she answered.

“Wow!” That means Henry’s elder sister has given birth.

“Henry told us about the two of you” his father started “I was worried because I don’t know if your mother would grant you two her blessings”

“Yvonne? Are you sure you would want to stay with my son, I mean, you are from a rich family!” His mother said holding my hand.

“I had believed that you two were best friends but I knew from the start that there’s more to the to it though you two refused to see the sparks that emanates when you two are close”

“I wish we all never had to separate, and I wonder if your mother will ever let go especially now that she is morning your father”

They kept talking and feeling worried about me and him, I lost my appetite and I wasn’t able to finish the food.

I dropped the spoon and listened to every bit of their words. And how much I wish my mother will think as they are thinking now, even though they were the ones that seemed to have been hurt.

“Oh my, we just kept talking, forgive my manners. I was going to ask how she is doing?” Her mom caught herself first.

“My mother? She’s fine, ehm… I think I have to go now” I drawled when I was certain am fed up of their conversation.

They’re the loveliest family I have ever met, I don’t think I remember seeing them arguing or shouting at each other and they always had time for each other.

Well, my parents are good but they are always busy with their business, even when they go outside the country, my father goes from one business meeting to another and my mom explores the world alone.

All the same, the two families are wonderful but I prefer it if my husband will always have the time for me and he would always put me first and let us build our empire together.

I bade them farewell and went to meet my man at his shop, he wasn’t around and when his boy told me he went out with a customer to install their new properties in their home, I waited for him patiently.

I had a good time asking the boy whom was a cheerful fellow about how the business was moving, he too seemed to know everything about electronics already.

“I have been here for three years and I want to serve him until I get more money to add to the one he will use to settle me and start up my own business”

The boy answered when I asked him, he went ahead to explain how two other boys have served his boss and they are even doing better but he doesn’t want to rush out because his boss is good to him.

I felt happy, I have always known Henry is a good guy but people change always and am happy he is still as good as before for someone to testify how well he’s treating him.

I waited till it was getting dark before I called him to know why he is not yet back, I called him several times and got no reply.

“I think I will start going, I will give him a call when I get home. It’s already getting dark” I told the boy and turned to leave.

I was about entering my car when I heard the man that came into the shop when I was leaving saying to the boy “I don’t know what he did but the police apprehended him a few minutes ago when he was coming back from that man’s house!”

I went back to the shop and asked the man to tell me exactly what he is talking about.

“I can take you to the station to see for yourself, he is my customer and that’s why I came here to tell his boy”

“Okay, let’s get going please!” I ran to my car and when I saw his boy following us, I told him to stay back and take care of the shop.

The man took me to the police station he was taken to and I was surprised to see my mother walking into her car while his parents are kneeling down beside her car.

“What’s happening here?!” I asked no one in particular, my mother threw a disgusting look at me.

“Please, help me and beg your mother to have mercy upon my son, Yvonne please!” His mother begged while his father kept his head down.

“Mom, what is this supposed to mean? What did you do to Henry?!” I asked her holding her hand so she wouldn’t close her door and drive off.

She came out of the car and striked me across my face angrily, “how dare you?! What nonsense!” She seethed.

She turned to enter her car again but I repeated my action, will I ever forget the fury in my mother’s eyes when she looked at me again? Heck no!

“Mom! Why are you doing this?! Do you ever care about my happiness?!!” I cried.

She gave me another dirty slap on my left cheek, I swear, that very day, if it wasn’t for the fact that she’s my mother, I would have slapped her back because the pains were unbearable.

I could only close my eyes tightly and shriek “Mom!!”

“What is there to be happy about him?! He can only bring you grief and am trying to save you and you dare raise your voice at me!!”

“Mother! Don’t save me, if safety is hurting me and taking my happiness away, I’m sorry, I don’t need it!!”

“Fine! If you go in there to set him free!! Don’t ever return home, get it into your head that you cease to be my daughter if you choose him!” She barked, entered her car and raced off.

What do I do now?

“Yvonne? Go home” Henry’s father said still on his knees, I went on my knees beside him and let the tears flow.

“You have to obey your mother no matter what, go to her, she needs you more than ever, she’s going through a lot now” his mother added.

Who? Who needs who? She’s mourning my father, does she think I’m enjoying the fact that my father died?!

He left a lot behind which all needs to be taken care of, should I be happy about that?!

They are here worrying about someone that has put their only son in cell. My mother was really another agent of sorrow back then and she was killing me slowly.

(The only thing I didn’t know back then was that she was being the best mother ever! She wants my happiness more than anyone, I know you won’t understand, just keep reading 😁😚)

How do someone walk away from the one person they love? I had almost lost him once and now that our relationship is heading somewhere she’s busy trying to separate us.

I didn’t know what to say to them, I gave them money to try and see if the police will release him while I went home to meet my mother.

She was seated on the staircase when I got home, a glass of dry gin at hand, I went to her and took the drink away, when did she start drinking alcohol?

“I’m sorry Mom, I didn’t mean to hurt you” I empathized as I went on my knees to hug her.

My mother gets angry easily and can do stupid things out of anger, but she is certainly not a bad person and I love her even though we weren’t all that close.

Yeah, I learnt what Henry told me about them was true, they are doing everything for me and

She is someone jovial, carefree and kind hearted but she adheres strictly to my father’s commands, she was so good to Henry’s family when we are still together and I know she still has a soft spot for them.

I think I know what to do!

The only thing that can change my mother’s mind about Henry’s family is when she sees a proof that whatever happened between my father and his wasn’t true.

I must get to the root of that but how will I be able to find out the truth about something that happened years back.

If my father had given me a chance to stay home, I would have thought about it and all these wouldn’t be happening.

“Did I hurt your face?” My mother asked admix tears as she looked closely at my face.

“I’m fine Mom, I shouldn’t have talked to you like that, I was wrong” I admitted.

“I was harsh to my daughter for no just cause, I just don’t know what else to do, Yvonne, I hate everything that’s happening” my mom confessed and I felt relieved.

“Mother, you don’t have to do or worry about anything now, I have lost dad and I don’t want to loose you too!” I pleaded with her to stop stressing herself.

“Did you release him?” She asked a surprising question and I told her the truth “I will call the D.P.O to set him free” she said.

“Thanks Mom, I promise you I won’t see him again… I will do whatever you want me to do… I will…”

“Do you love him?” My mother asked another question stopping me from making all my empty promises.

I looked up at her face and nodded sincerely, I hope she wouldn’t send me back to the States.

“Does he love you because I won’t take it lightly with him if he breaks your heart again?”

“Huh?!!” 😲🧐

“Mom, what…are you…saying?”

“I’m only sad that your father isn’t alive to complete what he started, I’m happy you two has finally grown up and realized how much you two love each other”

“I still don’t understand what you are saying Mom, what exactly are you driving at?” I asked her again dumpfounded.

“It was all a plan, Yvonne” she laughed and stood up from the stair. She went into the parlour and sat down, I stood transfixed on one place.

“Plan? What plan?!” I asked throwing my hands up, I turned to look at who just came in when the door opened, Henry and his whole family stood there.

“Oh! how much I miss you darling!” Grandma said coming towards me, and the others went to sit down.

“Grandma! When did you come back?” I asked getting over a bit of my shock though am surprised to see them all complete in my house and my mother is busy smiling and exchanging pleasantries with them.

I still haven’t heard what I want to hear and they are confusing me the more.

“Today dear, I had to come back because we are having a special party tomorrow and for the fact that your birthday is soon! I can’t miss it for anything!!” She gushed.

“I… I don’t get this, mother, what’s happening? Someone please tell me what’s going on here?!”

Henry stood up and came to me, he held my hand and squeezed lightly “Babe, come and sit down, I have a confession to make and I hope you will forgive me”

“Don’t say you have a confession to make, say we …let’s all take a sit and have a family meeting, I feel bad that the man that started this plan is not here!” Grandma said sadly.

I looked from one person to another and wondered what they are blurting!

(15… coming. It might end there🙄😁)
