EPISODE TWELVE

………’’ My father had a fierce quarrel with my mother at our very tender age. The quarrel was about relocating from the United States to another country, Mexico. My father tried persuading his wife in a cool and gentle man tone, telling her about the relocation process he was making, but my lousy mum took it the other way round. Maybe she heard a wrong news about my dad which he was now acting on. She said that Dad was having an affair outside their marriage and wants to park out his family from the U.S to have more breathing space with his girlfriend. I was eavesdropping their conversations, I was surprise to hear mum conclude like that without even having a tangible evidence.
You don’t mean your mum said all that?” Mitchie said in disbelieving tone.
Yep, she said it” Mateo said as he nodded his head, his eyeball were turning red and becoming watery.
Dad’s was a kind of person who is bad tempered most especially blamed for what he doesn’t know about.” Mateo continued. “So he took it as an offence against mum who wouldn’t want things go on smoothly. Dad divorced her and sent her parking although with half of Dad’s assets. My sister followed my mum but I decided to stay with my Dad.
Really” Angelina chimed after which after a long time chatting on phone. “This is a kind of nice family that I think should be recorded down. It’s kind of interesting although painful too. After an official divorce letter from the law court. My father made up his mind of still leaving
Serious than you can imagine, but then my mum wasn’t remorseful, she parked her things and left after the official letter of divorce she received from the law court. My father however still made the step of leaving the states. He bought me a guitar and a keyboard which he taught me with a mindset of expanding my knowledge more on music. This triggered my passion for music and gave me an aspiration of becoming a popular, rich music star which I can see to be getting fulfilled.
And how about your mum and sister?” Lily asked to know their fate.
I met my sister Ava in a music competition. At first sight, I couldn’t recognize her but she did remembered me. So she trotted down to where I was, she called me and at once I remembered her and we both hugged because we had nothing bad against each other if not for our parents who divorced. I asked of mum from her but she told me that mum wasn’t feeling fine. I can tell she was happy to see me and I also was really happy to have met with my sister again. When I heard that mum was sick, I couldn’t wait to see her because I still felt she was still my mum.”
That was really a great reunion for you and your sister: Mitchie said.
I was so happy to see her as I have said earlier and was also anxious to see mum. So after the competition, I told Ava to take me to the hospital where mum was admitted. On getting there I saw mum who was already getting leaner, weaker and paler. She was very happy seeing me, she tried sitting upright on the bed but she couldn’t. Tears trickled down my cheek as I was in a flounder state.
How are my son” her voice shivered, then I knew death was nowhere far from her.
F- fine mum “I said lamely. I contacted my father on phone telling him about mum’s critical condition. I thought he would wave me off the line and decline coming to visit her, in his voice he felt concerned even that I who had seen mum’s condition. Within a twinkle of an eye, Dad arrived, they reconciled before mum finally gave up the ghost.
Sorry about the loss” Mitchie said pitifully.
No, it’s nothing, I have gotten over that.” Mateo replied.
And how about Dad” Rose asked as she munched a piece hamburger.
He is very much alive” Mateo replied as he swerved into the theatre building compound and parked in the car park.
They all alighted from the vehicle and wended into the theatre house.
They were given ticket before they entered the theatre house. Mitchie had earlier bought snacks for everyone which she took along with herself as they entered the building.
The theatre house was a very spacious building with chairs arranged step by step just like a football stadium, and a wide starboard hung on the wall of the theatre in front in such a way that everyone in the all could get a clear view of what was being showed on the star board.
They all sat at the same arena as Mitchie gave out the snacks to everyone. They ate alongside watching the trending movie, THE WIFE. They began to gist more about the movie to themselves, trying to guess what would happened after each amazing scene they watched. They giggled and laughed. It was all fun to them when they concluded the movie. They left for the car after which they left the theatre compound.
Thank you, I really enjoyed my day today” Lilly chilled.
Yep, same here, I enjoyed myself, the snacks, delicious and yummy” Rose gesticulated.
I shouldn’t be left put in saying thank you to our one our only boss boy” Angelina teased.
Mateo smiled and replied “thank you girls, it’s my pleasure, and I promise you’ll see more of this”.
Please put on the music” Mitchie said with excitement. Mateo of course put on the music player in the car, and in increased the volume to the average. They began to dance as Mateo drove them home.
Mateo stopped the vehicle in front of Mitchie’s house. They bided themselves goodbye, alighting from the vehicles. The ladies shuffled their feats into the house, feeling frazzled and exhausted.
Each of them struggled into their room, freshened up and slept to recover
Hello, Ava” Romeo phoned.
Hello, Romeo, how far have you gone about the mission?” Ava asked.
Hu-um, you’ll hear from me soonest”
The competition is going to hold soonest, I beg you to do a clean job”
Okay, I’ll make sure I strike my target”
I trust you Romeo” Ava giggled.
Good bye”
Good night” (Phone cuts).
