Loving Pezo

Episode 40

Joe: lovely. (Clears his throat) I will be by your main gates at 7pm

Pezo: oh no my love. Just tell me were I can meet you and I will be there. I really don’t want to
raise any eyebrows at home yet. I hope you understand.

Joe: sure love. As long as I see you. Am all good
A knock was heard on the door
Pezo: I have to go. Take care. I love you.
Joe: I love you more. And our love is forever.
She cut as she remained smilling and her mother couldn’t miss the glow on her daughter’s face.
Mrs. Chinyama: and what making my daughter glow like a princess this afternoon
Pezo: ( feeling shy) Hello Mummy
Mrs. Chinyama: I have not seen my daughter glow this much in a long while. What is making her
happy.

Pezo: come on mummy. Its nothing. I- I have nothing to worry about
Mrs. Chinyama: and the man who dropped you last night? You have never told me you are dating
someone.

Pezo: (feeling uncomfortable as she moved from one point to the other) He- he is just a friend
mum. Nothing serious.
Mrs. Chinyama : (a little shocked) – and since when did you start kissing friends the way you
Pezo: Mummy please I think I can’t discuss this with you.

Mrs. Chinyama: who is he child. And when did this all start?
Pezo: am not a teenager anymore mummy. Can’t I be trusted to make my decisions for once.
Mrs. Chinyama: how sure are you that he is the right person dear. Do you know anything about his
family, his wereabouts- what if he is married?
Pezo: (getting upset) mum!! I think you have said enough. Joe can never do that to me. We love
each other mummy. He is the best thing that has happened to me.
Mrs. Chinyama: Joe?

Pezo: (somewhat cooling down) Yes mother. Its-(hesitant) it’s actually mr. Mitti.
Mrs. Chinyama: what? Pezo?
Pezo: he is not as mean mummy. We love each other
Mrs. Chinyama: shut up!! How could you?
And Pezo knew trouble had befallen her.
