"Hmmm " I signed at the look of my baby boy's innocent sleeping face.
They are right. I don't have a choice since this is a business deal and is also the only way to get my parents to forgive and accept my child and I , then I can as will take it us given my son a happy family. With all those thoughts in mind I didn't even relies when sleep took over me.
"Mommy,mommy wake up. You promised to take me to the park today." I felt a tiny hand shaking me before I hear Nana's voice say.
" mmmmh,baby let mama sleep for few more minutes then she will wake up and fulfill her promise. Okay " I said hoping Nana will stop but no, he kept call and shaking me till I got up from bed.
I got myself dressed and my son's nanny got him dress . Then we left to the park. I was enjoying myself with my only family totally forgotten that I am to get home before 11:00am as our visitors will be coming 11:30am. I only remembered when my phone rung and I saw the call to be my mother.
"Hello mo….." I pick up and started to say before mom beat me to it."where are you? do you want to run away from your will-be husband. hey listen to me carefully, that young man is doing us a favor by agreeing to marry you, a girl who went about opening her legs and don't even know who got her pregnant. you should be happy someone wants to marry you and remove that shame." she said and hung up without giving me space to speak.I didn't realize I am crying until a tiny hands wipe my face and I heard my son's voice say, " stop crying mummy because Nana don't like it when mummy is sad ."
"Am sorry baby. Am fine. Hey baby do you want mummy to get you a daddy?" I asked expecting him to look happy as other children of his age will upon hearing such a new but he looks normal.
" okay, that's if mummy want. but am fine with just mummy with me." he answered maturely just like his father.
with that we get ready and went home. Upon reaching the house, I went to freshen up and the Nanny help my love do same. we were done within a few minutes and went down to meet our guest as they have just arrived.
we entered into the sitting room where everyone was settled and happily chatting.
"Good afternoon." I said without looking at anyone.
" Afternoon. how are you dear?" I heard a woman's voice say so I rise my head up to respond and got the shocked upon seeing them.
" am.....am....am fine madam." I stammered as I didn't expect him to be my will- be husband.
" You?"I said and all eyes turn to now focus on me and my son . he just smile at me and I feel like destroying his face.
"Do you guys know each other? " my brother ask
"Yes, she....." he begins to say but i stop him.
"Yes, we meet at a business party last month." I said quickly.
