Nazeal: bowing Mama, good afternoon.
Mum: touching my head Afternoon my son, how was the lesson?
Nazeal: Dropping my bag and sitting down Went well ma!
Am really hungry now mama, what did you cook?
Mum: smiling I knew you would ask of your
food, but before you eat anything, go and take your bath.
Nazeal: standing up okay ma.
Mum: looking at me Nazeal.
Nazeal: looking back Ma.
Mum: looking serious I want to discuss
something with you but that would be after
you take your bath.
**Thank God, because am not even ready for any discussion now, over tired they worry me.
Nazeal: Okay ma!
**Hmm, i wonder what my mother wants to discuss with me because she looked
serious;
I rushed to the room, changed my clothes, then fetch a bucket of water and rushed out to take my bath.
Oh i forgot my towel, i rushed in to get it and came back outside.
Ah, I even forgot to take my soap and sponge, no need self..
I poured the cold water on my body, then
hurriedly wore my clothes and rushed inside..
I went inside my room and lay down on the bed when i heard my mother calling me in the sitting
room, that was when i remembered that she said
she had something to discuss with me.
I wore my clothes and almost ran to the sitting
room.**
Nazeal: sitting down yes mama, you called me.
Mum: Yes, my son, i want to tell you something.
Nazeal: anxiously Mum, am all hears!
She talked about my upcoming SSCE, That i should prepare very well inorder to pass the exam and maybe sit for the UTME JAMB
Nazeal: Mama, i would do everything to make you proud.
Mum: One more thing is about that girl Mary that you follow about all the time!
Nazeal: suprised And what about her mum?
Mum: You must stop seeing her.
Nazeal: shocked Why? I can’t do without her, she is my everything.
Mum: And i insist u
must stop seeing her unless you want me to stop
fending for your higher education.
Nazeal: standing up Cut
if off mum, how can you tell me that i should stop seeing her..
You can do whatever you like. My life will be frustrated if i don’t have Mary to think
of in my life”.
**My mother lloked at me in surprise at the words i had spoken and wondered what
had become of me.
Throughout my life, i had never contested my mother’s wishes or instructions.
She was therefore utterly dismayed at the defiant words that flowed out of my mouth.
As she sat there confused. I stood up and left her.
Nazeal: I am going to look for her. She is my heart and i can’t afford to let her out of my life.
I hope am doing the right thing, yes i know am
doing the right thing.
Or is there still more to it?
I don’t think so!!
