Mrs uche :i don’t know what is wrong with amara, she has never behave like this before,i don’t know what is that girl problem
Mrs ada Marcus :i am as surprised as you are,for amara to leave the house, ah it’s unbelievable,but what are we going to do now.
Mrs uche :i don’t know,am confused
Mrs ada Marcus :this is no time to be confuse,we have to do something to settle all this,maxwell is no longer himself, he barely stays at home this days and always comes back late drunk, the disappearance of amara is really affecting him
Mrs uche :you can’t be serious
Mrs ada Marcus :you know maxwell loves amara so much, i am scared for my son,i don’t want him to loose his mind all because of amara, i don’t want him ending up killing himself
Mrs uche :God forbid
Mrs ada Marcus now sounds worried
Mrs ada Marcus :it is not God forbid,maxwell it’s my son and i know what he can do when it comes to amara, so please try and do something ,i can’t bare seeing my son this way.
Mrs uche felt the pain of mrs ada Marcus and she knew she had to do something not only to help her friend but to also help herself, she later left mrs ada Marcus house with the assurance for settling the problem at hand ,later in the night that same day she came up with a idea,she told Mr uche and he agreed to it,even if she knew it wasn’t the best thing to do but they need to do it because that was the only way to see amara,she called Mrs ada Marcus to inform her of the new development,Mr uche then decided to call amara first thing tomorrow morning to break the new to her.
Morning finally came,and as usual chidi woke up and got prepared for work, Amara and chidi has been hanging out well,things has been moving smoothly and chidi knew in no time they will get together again,he now has no aim of going back to London, even if he is to return to London he won’t go alone, as he came out of his room he met his mother close to his door,
Mrs Jonathan :i was about coming to your room
Chidi :good morning mum,how was your night
Mrs Jonathan :it was good and what about yours
Chidi h wonderful (with a smile on his face)what about dad
Mrs Jonathan :he is till in bed ,i woke up early so as to meet up with you,you know you always leave home early and come back late this days,and i am a bit surprised about that,mostly the late coming, i know you don’t close at work that late but am not going to interfere in your personal life but I just hope what ever you are doing it should be something we your parents will be proud of
Chidi f course mum,am not doing anything bad,okey,is that why you want to see me
Mrs Jonathan :that is not the reason I want to see you,it’s about you and dora
The smile on his face suddenly disappear at the sound of the name dora,he has try not to come across her ever again in that house so why will his mother come this morning to spoil his happy mood,obviously dora might has complain to his mother,
Chidi :yes what about the both of us
Mrs Jonathan :chidi what is going on between you and dora
Chidi:why don’t you ask her,is obvious she has given you the full details,so why ask me
Mrs Jonathan :she has
Chidi :did she put the part where she slapped me
Mrs Jonathan :yes she did and she is so sorry for her action,and she is apologising and the least you should do is to forgive her,you are really taking this too far
Chidi :i am taking it too far,well if you put it that way I have no problem with that,i really don’t want to have anything to do with her not with what she did.
Mrs Jonathan :chidi,i don’t see anything wrong with what she did,she only opened up her feelings to you,she only slapped you because she was provoked, every woman will do the same,even i your mother will,she’s really in love with you and you she try and do the same
Chidi:mum,i like her yes I can’t denied that but I can’t end up getting married to her, i just can’t, we can be good friends but husband and wife, hell no
Mrs Jonathan :why can’t you marry her,she is beautiful, good mannered,she is a good cook and she is well educated i don’t see anything wrong in her.
Chidi :i don’t doubt that but I don’t love her i don’t even feel anything close to love for her
Mrs Jonathan :love is not the first thing before marriage,do you think I loved your father before i got married to him,no i didn’t, i had someone i was in love with and could love to spend the rest of my life with but your father came into the picture and spoilt all my plans with my boyfriend then,he stole the heart of my parents and i was forced to marry your dad
Chidi couldn’t believe his mum story, he was hearing it for the first time and he look surprised
Mrs Jonathan :it’s the truth chidi you can ask your dad but today I am happy i obeyed my parents because your father turned out to be the best husband any woman would wish for,it is hard to believe but it’s the truth
Chidi:well mum,that’s between you and dad,mine is different, i know deep down inside of me that dora can never be the woman for me,there is no way I can imagine myself with her.
Mrs Jonathan key what is the reason, why can’t you just try
Chidi:mum honestly,there is nothing she can do to pleases me,i am in love with someone else and my heart beat only for her
Mrs Jonathan now sound upset
Mrs Jonathan :then this your heart has a problem, i brought someone That i see fit to be recognised as one the Jonathan’s family and you are telling me i made the wrong choice
Chidi took her mother hand,he need to calm him mum down so she can see reasons with him
Chidi :mum i am not saying that but I don’t love her,i am in love with someone else
Mrs Jonathan :are you referring to the girl that came to spend days in this house
Chidi was surprise
Mrs Jonathan :yes I know, i was told
Chidi :who told you
Mrs Jonathan :chidi this is my house, i know everything that goes on here with or without my accents and with what I heard about her,the name Jonathan can never be added to her name,she is of low class
Chidi was unhappy to hear him mother refer to amara as low class but it was his mother what can he do
Chidi :mum,you haven’t even seen her in person
Mrs Jonathan removed her hand from chidi’s
Mrs Jonathan :i don’t need to see her before i know what is good for my son,so you better start thinking about dora and leave that girl
Chidi:mum are you aware that you are not talking to a kid anymore, i am a grow man now and beside you are talking about low class mum with all the money I have and including the ones I will eventually inherit from my father i will be a billionaire, and you want me to also go for someone wealthy,that too much money for me what will my children be doing with all that,so if i marry some one below my class i don’t see any problem with that,i am a man and i am allowed to make my own decisions, so mum this is my life and i will live it the way I choose, you should be helping me out
Mrs Jonathan :chidi i can now see you are out of your mind, what is the no you can’t marry her you don’t understand,how can the only son of Mr Jonathan marry a nobody, don’t you know that will bring shame to this family, now listen to me if you want to have peace with me you better start using your head,you can’t marry her that should better sink into your head,excuse me
She turned and walked out on chidi,chidi in the other hand was just short of words,he didn’t know how to convince him mum to see reasons with him,the rest of his day was bad,he couldn’t concentrate at work,most of his workers notice his sad mood especially his PA who tryed to find out what the problem was but chidi just told him it was a personal problem,he left work very early and went to visit amara,he knew has to calm himself and being with amara was the best idea,but amara was not at home,he called and she told him to wait for her that she will be home soon,he then has to wait for her in his car .
