Fernandez drove to the mall and quickly went to the female section. His mother had told him earlier that she wanted a new red lingering. She had described it to him but seemed to have forgotten about it.Fernandez took note of it and added it to his shopping list and as soon as he got to the mall he immediately went to get it for his mother, his favourite person in the whole wide world.His mother has always condoned his excesses, unlike his father who doesn't take time in smacking the shit out of him any time he misbehaves. This has strained his relationship with his father, as his father was always crude and detecting to him how to live and act, what to wear, how to wear what to wear, what school to attend, what course to study, what friends to keep and what food to eat.His mother is a free-spirited individual who wants her kids to be comfortable and happy for this reason he has loved his mother immensely. She has never said no to any of his requests, she always goes out of her way
"Mum, Mum, What's going on Dad?" Fernandez asked as he immediately dropped the bags on the floor and ran towards his parent."I don't know, we were just arguing about something a while ago and then this," he said truthfully. "Arguing dad? You were arguing with Mum? How could you put her through such anxiety? She is not fully recovered Dad" he yelled and immediately carried his mother to the bedroom to lay her on the bed."Breath mum, breath," he said to his mother who continued to gasp for air. "Let me call the doctor," he said and quickly dialled the doctor who picked up immediately. "Hello doctor, please I need you to come over ASAP. My mum just suffered an attack" he said and hung up. Mr Tiguan was very nervous and couldn't stop pacing. He kept moving from one end to the other waiting anxiously for the doctor to arrive. There was a look of regret written all over his face."What exactly were you arguing about that triggered this Dad?" Fernandez asked his father "It's nothing seri
A few minutes later, Alicia was discharged from the hospital and Rosa proposed she spend the night at her place since her house is closer to the hospital than Alicia's.While Alicia was at the hospital she earnestly prayed that her condition wouldn't be found out and luckily it wasn't. She accepted the proposal and spent the night at Rosa's house."Thank you Rosa for being so kind to me ever since I resumed this work. I'm grateful" she said and Rosa just nodded with a smile.Rosa offered her bedroom since it was just a small apartment which she shared with her sister who has travelled to see their mum in Alaska."You can sleep on the bed Alicia, I will sleep on the couch," she said but Alicia refused."No, Rosa, I will sleep on the couch. You are bigger than I am. The couch won't be comfortable for you to sleep on. Besides, it's your house, you should be comfortable, no one should inconvenience you in your own house not even me" she said as she slightly nudged her."The more reason y
"Call me baby when you drop down in New York," Mrs Tiguan said as she hugged her son who had come to bid her goodbye passionately."Sure Mum, I will call you. Do not get into any form of argument with anyone. If there is anything you need or is bothering you, just call me" he said as he gestured with his hand. "Alicia is here, I have directed her on the things she needs to do for you," Fernandez said again as he disengaged from hugging his mother to look at her."Alright baby, you don't worry, I will be fine and I will stay out of trouble I promise you," she said and threw her hands open for another hug Fernandez hugged her one last time before beckoning on the driver who was taking him to the airport to come and get his luggage"Bye Alicia and stay out of trouble okay? Never leave her for a second, keep an eye on her even if she is going to the restroom" he said to Alicia who went to hug him. He hugged her for a while and then lifted her face to look at her "No Alicia don't do that o
Amelia got into the room and plugged in her phone to charge. After a few minutes, she turned it on because she was expecting a call from Rosa.She flopped herself on her bed thinking of what to do with her life. Everything seems normal now because no one has found out about her pregnancy except for Chloe. She has made her promise her she wasn't going to divulge the secret to anyone.Amelia thought of going back to the club again at least for the last time before deciding what to do next. But she has resolved within her never to hurt her babies whether or not she finds Fernandez."Where are you, stranger? How come you didn't leave a trace of yourself behind? Was I that horrible that you don't ever want to see me again?" she thought aloud.Just while she was still thinking of what next step to take, her phone rang. She took her phone to see who the caller was and to her greatest astonishment, it was the same number that had been calling her for weeks.This time the number rang for a whi
"Hello, are you there?" Ricky asked again and the caller responded"Hello Ricky, it's me, Alberto. I have important information for you" he said"Okay, where do I meet you up" Ricky asked "Meet me this weekend at the goose club by 3 pm" he said"Why the weekend? Can't we make it earlier than that?" Ricky asked looking a little "I'm on my way to Brazil, I have an important family meeting," he said and hung up."Does that relate to me in any way?" Fernandez asked without taking his eyes off his laptop."Yes sir" Ricky replied as he continued to sort the files he had brought to Fernandez."So, what's the update?" Fernandez asked "He didn't say, he asked for us to meet this weekend" Ricky said.You could feel the tension between both of them. Ricky was sulking as a result of Fernandez's outburst a few minutes ago. "Who is the guy? Where did you know him from?" Fernandez asked."He is a friend of my cousin," Ricky replied. "And who is your cousin?" "You haven't met him, you don't know hi
There was a knock on the door and Amelia quickly opened the door"Chloe!" she exclaimed excitedly, "thank you for coming," she said as she led her to the couch."Mmm, thank you, Amelia. The truth is I was bored at home so I needed to go out. My parents have gone to their usual business meeting and I'm left alone with the bits of help. You know being an only child sometimes seems like a curse" she lamented and Amelia just hugged her."At least you are with your parents, you have your parents with you. You are not threatened to be thrown out at any slightest provocation, made to borrow money to fix appliances or asked to pay rent" Amelia said with a smile."You experienced all this?" Chloe asked, surprised."Yes, and much more Chloe, there are lots of things you don't know, but I have decided to live with it because I know it's temporal. If I work hard enough, I will be out of here a better person" she said "I never knew you go through all of this. Yes, I know your aunt is mean and tro
"Go with you? To where?" Amelia asked as she gently withdrew her hand from Lyon's still looking perplexed. "Um, Amelia, my parents and I are relocating to Dubai. My father has been there for twelve years. He has most of his business there so he has asked that we come over and join him there."Yeah right, just what I needed" Amelia exclaimed as she suddenly dropped her cutlery. "What's going on huh?" She asked and Lyon had this look of confusion on his face."I don't understand, what's going on where?" Lyon asked her "First it was Chloe who will be relocating to France to complete her education and now you?" she said with a frown"Wait, what? Chloe is relocating to France? No way, she told you that?" Lyon asked."Of course she did, she is my friend," Amelia said. She looked at Lyon wondering why he would ask if Chloe told her about her plans to relocate."Wow! I wasn't expecting Chloe to not graduate from our school. She has always liked the school and has bragged about finishing her
