It been two day since sandra visited amara and amara was till ignoring chidi,she hasn’t really have the courage to be with him ,chidi tried everything possible to get to her but it wasn’t working out,chidi was in the garden, he has been calling amara but she wasn’t picking up her phone,mrs Jonathan came to meet him,she has been observing him from the balcony,from the way chidi was behaving she knew he was trouble.
Mrs Jonathan :what is going on with you
Chidi turned and saw his mother, he was so deep in thought that he didn’t know when his mother came.
Chidi:nothing, (trying to force out a smile )
Mrs Jonathan :don’t tell me that,because I
have been looking at you from the balcony and i know you aren’t yourself, so what is it.
Chidi:i have been trying to reach someone but she is not responding, i don’t know why.
Mrs Jonathan :it’s she doing something for you that you need to reach her badly
Chidi :am talking about my fiancee
Mrs Jonathan was now confused
Mrs Jonathan :your fiancee, which fiancee are you talking about.
Chidi:mum,i have a fiancee, i was going to
introduce her to you and dad very soon.
Mrs Jonathan :are you referring to that girl you
told me about
Chidi:yes
Mrs Jonathan immediately got angry
Mrs Jonathan :what is the matter with you,why
don’t you always listen to me,so you are till
on this girl issue, i thought we have talked
about it
Chidi:and i made it clear to you that I don’t love dora that i already have some one i love
and i will want to marry.
Mrs Jonathan :you will never marry her
Chidi is now upset
Chidi:mum,i don’t understand you,i will be the
one to live with her not you
Mrs Jonathan :look at you,do you know the
difference between wife and girlfriend, i am
only doing what is best for you.
Chidi:i think i am in the right position to know
what is best for me
Mrs Jonathan h please keep quiet, now look at
the way she is messing you up
Chidi:she is not messing me up,please am
ready not in the mood for this maybe some
other time.
Chidi was ready to leave
Mrs Jonathan :and where do you think you are going
Chidi:to my room,since you don’t want me to
have peace here,i will just go to my room.
Mrs Jonathan :so now to you i don’t know what am saying ,don’t worry let me first see
that girl here then you will understand what am
talking about.
Chidi:hmmmmmm
Mrs Jonathan :yes.
Chidi looked at her one last time and walked
away,his mum problem is the last thing on his
mind,chidi later called sandra to beg her to
help him out,sandra felt sorry for chidi and
decided to try her best,she came up with a
plan, the next day she called amara and ask her
to meet her up in a restaurant close to her
super market, she also called chidi and told him
the same thing, sandra was in the restaurant sitted waiting for them to come,not up to ten minutes amara walked in,Amara saw her and went to meet her,they huged and sat down.
Amara :you sounded serious on the phone
hope no problem
Sandra was now laughing
Sandra :relax okey
Amara : what do you mean by relax,you called
me that you want to see me and it’s serious,
and now you are laughing, don’t tell me it a
joke cause I will kill you.
Sandra :sorry,i just needed to bring you here,
but there is something I want us to talk about.
Amara :what is it
Sandra :calm down,we are not yet complete
Amara :and who are we waiting for
Just then chidi walked in and saw them,chidi was surprise to see amara because Sandra
nevered told him that amara was also invited,when amara saw chidi she was shocked, she looked at sandra who was just smiling, chidi stood his sit,he was staring at amara but amara just put her face away.
Sandra :i know both of you are surprised to see each other and i know without been told you
already know the reason for my action,seriously i don’t like the way things are going between the both of you,i don’t know if I should be interfering but I will appreciate it if you guys do the same for me if i am in your shoes,so now i want both of you to settle
yourselves out,now.
Chidi was pleased and was also happy for what sandra did,he never really expected it.
Chidi :Sandra, thanks for doing this am really greatful,you know i don’t have anything
against amara here,so the question should be directed to her,Amara, what is the matter with you,why have you been ignoring me,if i have done anything wrong you should let me know so I can apologies instead of doing this to me.
Amara wasn’t ready to answer him,this wasn’t the time for her to explain things to chidi,she got up to leave but chidi quickly held her hand and he stood up
Amara :let me go please
Chidi was confused, he didn’t understand the
meaning of her words
Chidi:i should leave you alone
Amara looked at chidi with tear in her eyes
Amara :no chidi,i just want to be left alone for
now please
Chidi:what are you saying,what have I done
Amara :you haven’t done anything wrong
believe me
Chidi:then why do you want me to let you be for
sometime
Amara :nothing
Chidi was not upset
Chidi:Amara are you trying to leave me
Amara :no
Chidi raise the tone of his voice
Chidi :then why are you doing this, i don’t
understand you,is it because of dora, i thought we have settled it,what more do you want me to do
Chidi hold her by her shoulder
Chidi:amara please stop doing this to us,you
are killing me,please
Amara tryed to force out the words from her
month but it wasn’t coming out,she wanted to explain everything to him but she just couldn’t she was too scare to do so,she
removed chidi’s hand from her shoulder.
Amara :chidi just stop,stop please, i just need
time,just give me time
She walked away,as she was getting to the
entrance door she felt dizzy,she tryed to
balance herself but she was too wake to do so,
she just collapse, chidi and Sandra quickly ran
to her,
Chidi:amara
Chidi was trying to wake her up ,chidi and
sandre was very scared,they didn’t know
what was wrong with her,they quickly rush her to the hospital,the doctor immediately start treatment on her,not less them 30 minutes the doctor was done,he came out of the room where amara was,chidi and Sandra was worried but the doctor gave them the insurance that amara was fine,they all went in to see amara,amara was already awake,
