Unconditional

Chapter 15

“Hi how are you doing…does your head still hurt.” Micheal asked..
“A bit…. but I feel much better and am so hungry…. Can you please get me something to eat..”
Micheal smiled as he removed the small food warmer..It was the first time, Thelma had asked for food since they arrived in India.. He opened the food warmer and got a spoon..

“The food smells so good….did you prepare it or maybe you bought.i don’t trust your cooking, Micheal.” Thelma smiled, exposing her perfect white teeth and her tiny dimple.. She was in a good mood, the operation was successful but her images were not yet clear.. The doctor said it could take some time before she could clearly see.. She believed that no matter how long it took, her sight could be restored and she could see her children again.. It was almost a year now, at times she could dream of Favour and Mapalo..She had called Adam several times at first he had answered but after he realised it was her, he cut the line and never picked her calls…
“No matter what it takes, I will find you my darlings and we will be together again.” She whispered..
“Did you say something love..” Micheal asked..

“I was just thinking loud, so am I going to have my food now.” She smiled..
Micheal put the warmer on her laps and gave her the spoon..She put the spoon slowly in the food warmer, when she felt she had something, she slowly lifted it to her mouth, a few grains of rice fell on the dress…
“Yummy, this tastes so good..I love fried rice..”
Micheal looked at her, Thelma had changed and she seemed happy..She had lost alot of weight but she still looked beautiful..if only she could give him a chance..he thought..
“Micheal, you are too quiet, what are you thinking about.. I know you miss Junior, don’t worry we will go home soon.”

“Am thinking about you and how wonderful it could be if you gave me a chance..”
Silence……………
“Micheal……” Thelma tried to speak but Micheal put a finger on her l-ips..He got the food warmer and put it on the table.. The desire to k-ss her was too much, he tried to push away the thoughts but couldn’t he felt possessed with desire…He moved closer and k-ssed her l-ips..
“Micheal…. Micheal…. please.. don’t.” Thelma said not believing her own words..She wanted him so much, it had been awhile since anybody had made her feel this way..Her body was already betraying her. Micheal could feel her n-pples responding to his touch..the thin soft blouse didn’t help matters.. Her heart was beating so fast, she gave in, to his k-ss, she k-ssed him with so much passion…Adam had not made her feel alive, the way she did at this point.. All she wanted was to lose herself in his passion….. Micheal pulled away and lifted her chin..

“Are you sure..you want to do this?” Micheal asked..
Thelma nodded in response, she was short of breath..
“Micheal..stop talking and just k-ss me before I change my mind.” Thelma managed to speak..
“Alright..boss then we will get to work.” Micheal said with a smirk on his face.
Thelma pulled him closer and they k-ssed.. Micheal slowly unbuttoned her blouse and k-ssed her br-asts..She could feel his heart beat, she trembled with each k-ss…She could hærdly see his face but felt every movement he made… She touched his face and chest.. She wanted to remember it all, lucky they were in the hotel room..
“I will not do anything, you don’t want to do..” Micheal said between the two twin towers… They finally made love..Thelma felt complete, she slept in his arms…it felt good to be wanted.. Tomorrow, they were going back home…..

Favour cleaned the little house they had moved in.. She had not questioned Nick about his decision, he had just come home in the morning..He took his mother aside, they spoke quietly, the conversation looked tense, Favour tried to eavesdrop but couldn’t get anything they were discrete.. After what seemed like a long talk..Nick hugged his mother and he shed some tears.. They walked hand in hand, they seemed closer than before.. An hour later they parked their belongings and shifted to kuomboka.
So many months had gone by, Mapalo was all grown up.. He sat on a stood and kept writing words while Nick corrected him when he made a mistake.He was hærd to control but Nick had a way of getting to him. They had opened up a little shop from the money Nick had gotten from his dealings..
“Favour, I will finish up with the cleaning, get ready and go to school.” Nick said.

Nick had given up his education so that Favour and Mapalo could go to school. He worked in the grocery shop and also did other businesses. Favour helped out when Nick went out to order things. The new house was a three roomed house, Nick and Mapalo shared a room while Favour and Nick’s mother shared a room..
Mapalo left his books and went to pick up the trash. Favour and Nick laughed because he ended up messing the place instead of helping out. Nick had ironed Favour’s uniform, she changed quickly k-ssed Mapalo on the forehead and went to school.. She was determined to do well so she could support her new family, Nick and his mother had been there for them..
