Roseline went to bring in the clothes her
mom washed earlier in the morning
from the compound, as she was busy
enjoying herself with the music sang
by Titania tilted "like you". she didn't
hear her mom calling as she was busy
with the songs and the headphone she
was with is on a high volume.
"Roseline!" mrs cherry called many
times but Roseline didn't hear a thing.
she walked closer and tugged her by
the dress collar she was wearing.
"Roseline!" she called softly.
"mom you are back? she asked taking
the last dress out of the rope.
"yes I am! and have been calling you
all this while.
"sorry I didn't know. I thought you were
on night today?. she asked sitting on a
small wooden chair just beside the wall
"I should be! well I'm not leaving yet
I went to purchase somethings in the
morning and I'm done making what you
requested. "Vegetable stew!" she said
smiling. that was the husband favourite
and still her daughter's she made it with
so much love.
"you mean you have been inside?"
asked Roseline surprised.
" yeah I was making food! she answered.
" ohh! Roseline just answered bitting her
lower lips. she calculated how long she
have spent outside and how lost she
was in her thoughts that she didn't
realize someone was inside.
"I will be going inside Mom I have to
research something online"she said
trying to go inside but mrs cherry
stopped her.
"Roseline!" she called
"yes Mom!" she answered wondering
why her mom have to call her back.
mrs cherry moved closer to her
daughter took the clothes basket from
her and dropped it on the floor while
soothing her chin with her palms
Making Roseline head rest on her chest
she stroked her hair gently.
"Roseline! I wonder how you have grown
so quickly. to the extent you choose to
handle things yourself without involving
your mother"mrs cherry said with a
pause. " I'm I bothering you too much?"
she asked Roseline still stroking her hair
Roseline raised her head and looked
at her mom's face and smiled at her.
"Mom you are still my best friend and I
love you dearly. she said pegging her
mom's face cheek to cheek.
"are you sure Roseline?" she asked
doubtfully.
"is there something you want to tell me?
mrs cherry asked not satisfied.
"nothing Mom everything is fine". she
answered walking out.
"wait! Mrs cherry called out unable to
bear the pain raising in her heart, she turned to her and said:
" you booked for London!! she said and
Roseline stood in surprise.
"didn't you find it worthy to tell your
mother you are leaving for London?
mrs cherry queried.
Roseline stood non moved wondering how her mom got the information.
"are you planning to run away? are you
tired of staying here with your mother?"
" no Mom! it's non of this!" she asked
impatient.
" then what?" mrs cherry asked walking to her front
Roseline ignored her and walked inside dropping the laundry basket, she walked straight to her room mrs cherry was too quick and caught up to her.
" tell me! you now hate your mother! that you choose to return... mrs cherry subbed resting her head on the chair handle as she sat on the floor.
" I don't hate you mother! I love you! I'm just going to London for a vacation and also to find a Job. you Know I always love London I have wished to school in London but couldn't. it's not bad after all since I can get a Job there." she explained.
" you really want to go back to your past?" mrs cherry asked broken.
" mom that's your past! whatever that happened between you and father is only for the both of you like I said I don't like father I hate him though I do not know him but everything about him upsets me. and yes! don't think I'm going to find him. no! I'm going for my own life" she said angrily pulling off her jacket.
" you won't go to London sweetie! there are better jobs here and I will get you a good suitor" mrs cherry said cleaning her tears.
" no Mom! I'm 22 I want to live my life let me be and deal with your problems!.
she said and mrs cherry quickly got up and gave her daughter two hot slaps on the face something she haven't done before.
" mom!" Roseline called surprised
you..u she stammered without saying a word her tears flowed freely down her cheeks and she walked quietly inside her room Bolting the door.
"it's being eighteen years my child,since your father left. but I won't let you talk that way towards him. because.....
"you still love him?" Roseline answered on opening her door .
mrs cherry shook her head in disbelief seeing her Carrying a weekend bag.
"you are leaving? Mrs cherry asked mildly.
" no! Just want to give you some space.
she said and walked out.
mrs cherry stood in self pity starring into space as she weeped silently.
Mr Sylvester looked at his gold
wristwatch and called unto his wife and
second son lucky to hurry up since they
won't want to be late in attending the
Arthur's family daughter's birthday party.
"mrs Meyer!!" mr Sylvester called out to
his wife please be fast.
"allow me to dress up she said
" you don't need that! you are naturally
beautiful! he praised smiling broadly.
in their twenty-seven years of marriage
God has blessed them with two sons
and unending wealth. what more can he
ask for as his family is a peaceful one.
mrs Meyer walked majestically to the
parlour wearing a purple dinner gown
and a purple heel she pinned her hair
with a purple cap wearing a light maker
and a necklace. mr Sylvester Looked at
her and smiled broadly.
"you want to go all purple today?" he asked hugging her tightly.
son lucky his second son walked out
dressed in a tailored African fabrics
a senator shirt and a black plane trousers.
"what is this? his father asked.
" outfit!" he answered leaning to his mother shoulders.
"you should have worn English!" mr Sylvester complained.
"well this is what I love wearing, I'm not like Edward who likes corporate though! lucky said smiling broadly .
"I'm very sure I'm perfect in this". he said spreading his hands wide to check himself properly.
"father! I think mom's dressing needs adjustment. "I don't know if it's purple day but I think Mom should either put on a black cap or a black shoe this whole purple is somekind" he said
" yeah I thought as much! mr Sylvester said and mrs Meyer quickly ordered the servant to get her a black shoe which they hurriedly did. and they left the house driving to the Arthur's mansion.
