Loving Pezo

Episode 26

Mrs. Chinyama: Kalima is just from phoning me honey- he was equally worried. You dropped him
off hours ago.

Pezo: I met some friends mum. Sorry I should have called (she was so quick to answer)

Mrs. Chinyama: (taking a closer look at her) – are you okay child- did something happen.
Pezo: am okay mummy (avoiding her eyes) I will go to bed- its been a long day
She watched her daughter leave as she got a little worried. Just that morning as pezo and kalima
were leaving the house, she had a little discussion with her husband. While still loving him for their
daughter, they both felt Kalima was coming on so strong on Pezo and it wouldn’t help the process
if he were to continue that way. All they planned as parents of both was to have them close so
they could gradually fall in love with each other. But before any of them could do enough of that,
it’s like Kalima fell in love at first sight which would easily be perceived as infatuation if not just to
use their daughter.

It worried them to some extent when Chisala mentioned the other woman he was dating back in
the UK. Automatically, a man who takes a step further in introducing the lady he is dating means
he is serious with her. But overall, they agreed they would observe him and his intentions before
they may judge him wrongly. Mrs. Chinyama quickly rubbed off her thoughts when she thought of
the worst. Her husband joined her and noticed her face expression.

Mr. Chinyama: why do you seem so worried. Did something happen?

Mrs. Chinyama: No. Its nothing darling. Some coffee?

Mr. Chinyama: would love that thanks. Make it a little more stronger

Mrs. Chinyama; at this hour?
Mr. Chinyama: I need to stay up a little late tonight- I m wrapping up on a business proposal for
our new partners

Mrs. Chinyama just smiled before she could leave. Within a few minutes, she was back and as
she sat close to her husband who immediately crossed his right hand across her shoulder as
those to move her even more closer, they both began to listen to the local main news on TV. They
sat in silence for a while before Mr. Chinyama spoked up.

Mr. Chinyama: (checking his wrist watch) don’t you think it’s a little to late for Pezo to still be out?

She never drives in the night right?

Mrs. Chinyama: she is actually back. She had to go to bed as she has an early day tommorrow.

Mr. Chinyama: well even with that, she has to spend time with her family right- even if it’s for a few
minutes. She hasn’t been doing much of that lately. I need you to talk to her or else she quits this
fake job

Mr. Chinyama: please- just give her enough chance to adjust. I will definately talk to her
There was silence as Mrs. Chinyama began to struggle withing herself

Mrs. Chinyama: am just a little worried for our daughter. She dint seem fine when she walked in a
few minutes ago. But she brushed my question off when I asked (she moved a little as she directly
faced her husband in the eyes) – Darling- am scared. I hope this boy didn’t have to take advantage
of our innocent child

Mr. Chinyama: hey- do you have to go to such extremes in your thoughts. You know he can never
do that?

Mrs. Chinyama: we both do not know him my husband-So what can make you so certain that he
wouldn’t.
