PART FOUR: The call
Recap/ hi! I am boma hart, and there are a few things you know or probably forgot; somehow I was emotionally blackmailed to plan Scott's wedding, even though I never wanted to, and on reaching home, he called just to taunt me the more and to add it all up, he paid a visit to me the following morning, at my office/.
"Jeez, chill out okay, It's only a harmless visit, is it a crime?" He raised a question, "yes! It is, I don't want to see you here anymore okay!!" I fixed my eyes to the door, "wait! Are you asking me to leave your office?" He surfed for answers, "yes Scott leave my office and the next time you come here, it should be with an appointment, okay?" I nudged my eyes to the door, "fine, I will be leaving now?" He( Scott) walks out of the office in an angry state, heaving Jude in " what is it, Jude!!" I let out the moment my eyes fall on him, " sorry ma'am, but a client is waiting for you at the lounge" he informs me, "okay, send her in!" I muttered back, as he ambled away.
Seconds after, a lady walks into my office, holding a little boy in her hand, " good morning miss boma!!" She warmly greeted " hello ma'am, please have a seat and tell me how may I bring your dream wedding into a reality" I wore a smile on my face, "yeah! But it isn't for a wedding but a wedding anniversary!" She affirms to me, "oh wow, that's awesome, how many years have you been married?" I asked, "twenty-four years!" She ran a smiley face, "oh my, congratulations, it's a big deal!" I said to her.
"Yeah it is, are you married?" She copied back my words to me, "no ma'am, I ain't married for now but hopefully, I will" I retorted back to her. " But you have a boyfriend right?" She askes nudging at me, " yes I do!" I blab out a lie, "that is good and I hope I see you both at the anniversary" she retreated her words wearing a warm smile. "Sure, I'll love to attend with my boyfriend!!" I ran a pessimistic look on my face, "are you okay!" She sensed something was wrong, "I am fine, how about we start planning your wedding anniversary!!" I pulled out my planner book on the table.
(Inaudible conversation)
Hours later, I walked stella out of the office, strolling towards the lobby, "thank you so much for your patronage ma'am and I promise to deliver everything to your taste" I took out my hand, "yeah, I am certain you will, I trust you" she turns her back ambling away with her son. "Urgh!!" I let out a deep breath as I strolled back to the office.
3:16 pm
A call got my attention, I pulled up my phone and saw mom was the caller, I wondered why she's calling me or wait I do, because she never seizes the opportunity to taunt me, it's like she wants me to get a random man and force him to get married to me, that was enough reason not to answer her call.
Seconds later, my phone rang and mom was ID as the caller, the more I refuse to pick it up, the more she pesters me with her constant calls, "hello ma!" I put the call on loudspeaker, "hello dear daughter, why weren't you picking up my calls?" She asked in a suspicious tone, "nothing ma, I had an appointment, that's why!" I rolled my eyes waiting for her response.
You can say, this was perfectly planned by God himself; years ago I was not only thrown away but killed all because a certain someone doesn't accept my relationship with her son.And now, she wants the same person, under a fake name and to get into a relationship with him.Once again, is this ironically fun?.While they both waited to hear my response, Luca walks in and to my surprise, affirmed to the proposal.Once again dad and Mrs Mathilda in a head count turned to hear my response, and trust me, now that Luca is on it to get married, who I'm I to say no?.I'll gladly get married to him and get my revenge for what happened years ago.."I also accept father?".Happy was the look on their faces, Mrs Mathilda rushed over and hugged me, her smell felt like it was chocking, no matter how much I'll love to rub the middle finger up in her face, it's best to calm d
Five years later?."Sophie?".Dad calls.I ran down trying to pack my hair up, that when I stumbled on a man sited next to him.The man had the most charming smile and come to think of it, he look kinda familiar.A woman walks in, I hosted my head up and the second our eyes met, I almost dropped down unconscious.Dad noticed and ran to me."Dear? Are you okay?".Telling on I wasn't sure, would be like I know something and was keeping it from him.She's Mrs. Mathilda and his Luca?".Memories of the past came flooding back, to a point I ended up falling into an unconscious state.A while longer than expected, I gasped out in a displeasing way."Are you okay?".A masculine voice lets out from behind.Veering to see who it was, dad walked in and seized back my attention over to him."Oh it's good, you
The following morning, I saw still seated at the entrance to the mansion, when a car drove past me.For a distance, I took notice of Luca inside, he walks out of the car and at the sight of Mrs. Matilda not being anywhere close to him.My feet took a fast pace."Luca?".He stopped following the sound of someone calling out his name.Luca puts up a question, " I'm sorry, who are you?".My feet revamped a step backward. I must have forgotten that he doesn't recall, who I am.Hence while trying to find my words, a hand pulled me back, inferring the same person I tried so hard not to come across with."Tell me!!! What are you doing here?".Her voice deemed the minute her eyes ran through Luca. Mrs. Matilda smiles and with an aggressive posture got my hands lucked with her." baby!! Why don't you go up to your room and I'll come to see you".&
FORGET ME NOT( Dramatic entry into the city hospital)I ran in and met everyone seated with a sad look, they hoisted up their head and found in their midst."Where is Luca?".I asked the reason behind my coming.They all pretended not to hear me and at the sound of the emergency room opening, a man wearing a lab coat walks in.Mrs. Mathilda walks in and asked."Doctor!! Is my son okay?".The doctor disapproved of her question and answered, "no, I'm sorry but Luca doesn't recall some part of his life."What part?", I joined into the conversation, only to get drawn back by the shocking news, he doesn't recall my marriage to him.It seems my memories were the only thing, Luca couldn't remember, urgh!! Can life be any wicked?The doctor seemed to be needed elsewhere, he left, and at the sound of his footsteps fading away,
The next morning.I went to work.On my way there I decided to stop at boma's grave.With everything going on, i haven't been able to speak with her.My car makes a quick stop, I rode outside and swifly made my way in.I walked past the other graves, and on reaching there, I met Juila there.What's she doing that boma's grave.I hid behind a tree, I peeked at her and watched her place a flower at the grave.Maybe she knows Boma? Or perhaps there a link between her and Boma.I need to break the ice no matter what?.TO BE CONTINUED
Julia left in a haste, she got into a taxi not even saying goodbye.Is it just me or is she acting strange?Mom came outside."Son?" She called.I turned around, "yes mom, what's going on?".I had no idea why mom was here, I just hope she isn't here to curse Juila.She never fails to not do that.Please tell me? Is that not Boma here because I've got this feeling that Julia and Boma are two of the same person?". She added.I'm guessing, I wasn't the only one that thinks so, although at first, I didn't have such a feeling, I think mom's kind of right.But I'll have to investigate first
