Episode 29

“Mum. Why are you against it? Am not too young to date who I love. Can you just tell me what’s wrong with me dating Justin”Charlie said with tears rolling down her cheek. Madam Susan moved closer to her wiping her tears with her hand. “I understand you my dear. But you guys can’t be together because of many hidden reasons. Why not another person?”madam susan said with a calm voice. “Mum. You can’t say that. Our love for each other has gone far than this. Mummy why? Just tell me a good reason for going against it. I want to know”she cried looking at madam Susan. “I don’t have anything to tell you than it’s impossible. Charlie you have to obey me OK. Please am begging you to stop now before it’s too late.”madam Susan said looking at her. Charlie sobbed looking at madam Susan”I can’t do that. I won’t”she said crying loud. She moved away from madam Susan’s present and walked out of the room in tears.
:
She was walking down the street heading to an unknown destination still crying. She got to a coffee shop and went in to sway time faster before she’ll return back home..

She bought a cup of coffee and took it to a table. She sat down on the chair holding the cup in her hand.

She thought of the way her mum reacted back in the room. “Why will she say that? What’s wrong with us dating?”she thought to herself and tears began to form again. “And where did she know Mrs Henry? Is mum keeping something from me?”she said trying to hold back the tears. She buried her face down on the table and tears dropped down her eyes.

“Hey. What’s up with you”she heard a male’s voice. She quickly wiped off the tears before raising up her head.

Before her was a young guy, he has a bright blue eyes which makes him look more handsome and charming. He was sitting on the chair opposite to Charlie.

Charlie was staring at him wondering why he came to her.

“Who are you?”she asked looking at him. “Oh sorry for that. My name is Jack”he said smiling revealing the dimples on his right cheek”I saw you were crying on the street a couple of minutes ago. I was so surprised to see a grown up girl like you crying on the street. Since then, i followed you here wondering what the problem was”he said looking at Charlie. She brought down her face not looking at Jack. “You don’t have to worry about that, it’s a private matter. I didn’t realize someone could see me in that state.”Charlie said looking at him. “Am sorry for asking this but you can’t keep a problem to yourself. You have to share it. A problem shared is a problem half solved. I will like to know the reason if you don’t mind.”Jack said looking at her. “I can’t tell a stranger my problems”Charlie said. “OK I understand you. Thanks for giving me audience at least.”Jack said standing up.

“It’s so heartbroken for someone to say you can’t be with the person you love. I mean how can that be possible? It will hurt both of them seriously because the loved each other. the reason behind that can not be reveal no matter how she asked her mum. That’s so bad and cruel”Charlie said not looking at him.

On hearing this, Jack sat back on the chair looking at her.

“Oh that’s so bad. But no matter what, their love shouldn’t be stopped like that.

The reason has to be complicated I think.”Jack said looking at her.

“I wonder what that reason could be. We can’t just end it like this just because of a stupid reason. I mean I can’t live without him. What should I do? It’s like my heart is chattered into pieces.”Charlie said looking sad. “It’s OK. For every problem there must be a solution. You have to ask for the reason. If she can provide it, you guys would know what step to take next”Jack said.
“I think that’s what I should find out now. Thanks for your concern and advises” she said looking at him.

“You’re welcome. So from now on don’t cry on the street again OK?”Jack said smiling. “I won’t.”Charlie said also smiling.

Justin was sitting in the living room with his mother.

“Mum, I have something to tell you”Justin said. Mrs Henry eyes were fixed on the screen watching a program. When she heard that, she adjusted and faced Justin. “What’s that?”she asked. “It’s true that we’re dating”he said not looking at his mum. Mrs Henry smiled nodding her head positively. “I knew it. But why keeping that from me when I first ask? Are you scared of my words?”Mrs Henry said looking at him. “So did you approve it?”Justin asked looking at his mum. “She’s a pretty and respectful girl. I like her from the first day I saw her.
Her nose, eyes, face, everything just remind me of someone. They have same thing in com…..”Mrs Henry stopped thinking of another thing. “That’s not possible. She can’t be Sarah.

Could madam Susan have done that? No I hope that isn’t the case”Mrs Henry thought to herself looking shock and disbelief.
“Since you tell me the truth, can you invite her here tomorrow? Just to exchange few words with her”Mrs Henry said smiling.
Justin wondered what his mum have to tell her. “OK I’ll try telling her”he said looking at his mum.

“OK son. I’ll be expecting her”she said smiling.

She stood up taking her phone from her side. “I’ll be right back. I need to make an urgent call”she said and left the living room.
“Good thing there are no much interrogation”J
ustin said smiling.

Mrs Henry dialed a number and placed it to her ear. “Hello I need you to check something for me right this moment”she said to the her PA on phone.
“Yes ma’am” he replied.
“Check every details about Charlie and madam Susan.

Especially Charlie. I want to know everything about her”she said to him feeling suspicious of something.
