CHAPTER 5
We are highly evolved individuals for whom to love and to be loved is a very basic necessity. Hence being in a relationship is an option which we do choose, to ensure our. Happily ever after life. But with time only the relationship is left behind, with little or no happiness. This happens because we tend to forget what a relationship really means.
Women want someone to understand them whereas men often want someone to connect to them through watching a football match or playing video games with them. Hence giving and getting time is one important aspect of being in a relationship.
Anyways, it was round two in the afternoon when they sat in the sitting room watching a movie. It was a big house, very big.
He kept quite for a while.
"I asked you a question," she said.
"Well since he is the one who helped my friend. I thought he is the only doctor at the hospital. That is why I said that."
"I think I should get going now."
"Are you sure? You can stay here as long as you want. Maybe move in with me," he smiled. "I am just joking," he pinched her.
There was silence between them. She looked at him so closely. He kissed her, pulling her close against him, his hands smoothing over her back. She closed her eyes against the rising need for him, determined to play it cool. He must never know just how much she wanted him at this moment. The temptation became too much and she moved. He deepened the kiss, his arms pressing her close against him, leaving her in no doubt that she needed to stop things now. She pulled back from him, her heart racing and her breathing fast.
"I can't James."
"Can't what?" His voice hoarse and he tried to kiss her again.
"This," she said moving back from him. "Take me home. Yes, I need to go home," she sat up.
"Okay. Let me grab my car keys."
So he drove the car to her house. Speaking? The drive to her house, it was quiet. He parked the car in front of her house, well she had to give directions after all. He got off and opened the car door for her.
"Ouch!" she touched her stomach.
"Let me carry you inside. You didn't even tell me why you were at the hospital."
"I am fine and I think I will get inside on my own. My husband is inside. It won't be good if I he s...," she stopped at midsentence when he opened the gate, founding her outside with him.
She quickly let go of his hand.
"My parents are inside. If you have finished. Could you kindly come inside Ashley can't stop crying." Those were his only words before he went back inside and closed the gate.
She followed behind, didn't even say goodbye to the detective. In the house sat his parents and as soon as she walked in Angela quickly got up and ran to her.
"My poor child I am so sorry for your loss," she patted her back. "I am here for you."
Adela ignored her and walked to her child. She lifted her and sat with her on the sofa.
"Everyone has a time in life when they feel low. This is when being with your partner makes you stronger," said Angela, she went on. "When someone believes in you, when someone motivates you, inspire you, strengthens you, then you realise what being in a relationship really means. It means being strong together, living as a team. What I am trying to say is that. I know that you hurting right now. I can imagine the pain you going through. I am sorry f.."
"Angela if I were you..," she paused. You don't know what I am going through. Your son deserves to be in jail. He killed my child and you here busy saying stupid things. We all know that you don't mean that. Maybe you bewitched your son, so that he can kill his own child," she spoke rudely.
"What?! I would n.."
"Never do such a thing? Huh. I would never believe that. You wanted me dead 2 years ago. You just pretending to love me."
Angela wiped the tears and couldn't believe what her makoti was saying.
"Adela, I won't let you talk to my mother like that," finally spolke Stevie.
"What are you going to do? Slap me again."
"What is wrong with you? What is going on?"
"Eheeee so you still don't know what is going on, such a fool. This is what is going on, I am alone in this world. I have no parents and everytime we fight. You go to your parents. Your mother still helping you with your diapers kah. You still breastfeeding from her. No one takes my side but Stevie is always right. You should defending him. He is a grown up man. He is a good guy," she yelled.
"My child don't do this. Being in relationship means being in love. Love means acceptance. Praise the good, accept the flaws and provide the inspiration to change. We love you and so does my son," said Stevie's father.
"Sir, I respect you but clearly you don't know what you talking about. You may tell me as many quotes as you can but mothing can change the fact that he killed my child," said Adela angrily and loudly.
