my mum quickly composed herself and smiled, when chinwe greeted her, "hello dear you are welcome, hope your journey wasn't stressful" she asked her while my sisters and adaora looked on, without saying a word, "mummy see lorenzo just poisoned catalina" my little sister{immediate senior to our last born} who was also too innocent to understand the tension in the room, said to my mum, interrupting her and my mother's attention immediately diverted to the evening soap opera which they were watching before we entered, but however it was not before she ordered my immediate younger sister to show chinwe to the guest room, "where is your manner's??, dont you know that you are supposed to take her bag from her and show her to the room where she will be staying, also serve her meal and show her the bathroom" she had said to my immediate younger sister, before facing the television once more, while my sister rose up instantly with a smile and carried chinwes bag, as they both went to the guest room, 'hmmm' i breathed deeply as i watched them, but then i was no fool for i knew they were just being courteous and poliet, which is very usual in most families..... But then chinwe was really happy with the way she was recieved and she beemed with joy as she followed my sister to the guest room, that evening......
However after staying for a while in the sitting room, i went into my room where i changed to my 'house clothes', before going outside to my favourite pavement, in order to enjoy the evening breeze, but then, i was stunned and shocked when i saw adaora sitting on the same pavement i was coming to relax on, and sniffing, was she crying? I asked myself as i walked towards her cautiously and on time to see her clean her eyes, and she immediately composed herself when she noticed my presence, and i sat down beside her, "why are you crying?" i asked her with a mockery tone and she kept quiet, like a jealous wife who was just restraining herself, and i smiled within myself as i noticed the tension within her, but then "why did she ask for chinwe to come in the first instance?", was a million dollar question which i couldn't really find the answer to, but then i guess females do reason quite differently..... I came closer to her, and drew up her face closer to mine, in order to see it very well and mock her the more, but then i really do not know how i felt when i saw tears drip off her eyes that chilly evening..........
