Episode 29
“When a man takes the bold step its worth whatever comes out of it”
The next day was Saturday, I just woke up and struggling out of bed
When I heard my dad yelling and my mum telling him to take it easy i quickly rushed down in my morning coat,
Just to meet Clyde on his knees and my mum preventing my dad to flare up again
I took another look at him on the floor and then my dad I rushed towards my dad
Dad: Hold it there, young woman
How long have you been seeing this woman beater?
Answer me, is he the reason for your weird attitude lately
You don’t eat, you don’t come out of your room neither do you go to work
Girl I won’t tolerate this again
Listen to me carefully, go pack up your things, am sending you off to your aunts end
And you get the hell out of my house
Clyde: Sir am sorry, Babs I just want to make things right I could hear my dad still yelling
Me: Clyde you better go now, and don’t come back
At least this time he listened to me and left Everyone went their separate ways
After 30minutes, I went to my dad’s room and met my mum still calming him down
Me: We need to talk
Dad: What about, the fact that you kept seeing that woman beater after all he did to you
And had the guts to let him in to my house?
Me: Dad I hope you haven’t forgotten this is my house too
And I have the right to bring in whoever I want to
And how do you know what he did to me or didn’t do to me
Besides I didn’t even know Clyde would go that extent to step his foots in this house
Yes I know he came down to London,
yes I met him some few times
Yes he is the reason for my weird attitudes
But I never said anything about Clyde beating me up, and confirming it was the reason we divorced
But Dad don’t you think am old enough to be wherever I want to
For Christ’s sake am 28years i have lots of years ahead of me, to meet a lot of men, if I want to
To have fun, build a family if I ever will
Can’t you just support me, like you always do when I achieve something?
You even go an extra mile for me when i fail
How is this one different, How is my failed marriage not your priority
That you have to embarrass your fellow man in that manner
You can’t send me off to my aunt’s place like some kid unless you want me to rebel and leave again
This time around i might leave forever
I was walking away when my mum spoke up and told him i was right
I waited to hear what he will say but he just stood up and went into their washroom
