The following morning, I decided to wake Ethan from bed, I wanted him early to school because he had told me yesterday about the impromptu test he had in school."Good morning, sleepyhead". I grabbed his blanket and then forced him to stand up. "Mom.... I want to sleep". He murmured because he wanted nothing more than to sleep and continue sleeping, Nevertheless, I know that if I should let him sleep, and miss out on this important test, he'd get furious and not talk to me for at least a month. ."Ethan, wake up , please!!!". I shook him hoping it'll get him to open his eyes, however it was still shut. And there was no other option than to force it to open by force...I had to make sure of the water in the half drank glass cup, I brought the glass of water close and then sprinkled the water on his face, until he was able to open his eyes and withness what was happening ."Mom, good morning" I looked at the time and Instantly ran to the bathroom for a quick bath. He had at least
The following day, in the evening precisely, myself and mom went to Ethan's drama show in school and when we came, Hassan had already arrived and was seated on the front roll with a huge black card with Ethan's name boldly written on it. "Wow! What a hypocrite"...Mom felt disgusted by it as I was. It's annoying to withness him acting like a good father, when all he was and would ever been is a father who failed his son by abandoning the woman he presumed lived.We sat down with the other parents at guardians prior to the show starting. Mom grabbed her camera as she wanted to video Ethan's performance...The teacher anchoring the drama came up to the stage and the first scene of the drama started and to my surprise , my son happened to be playing Romeo..It was the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet.Ethan's started off strong and he kept on a good show till the end of the last scene...We all went down to congratulate him, I even got some flowers with this favourite video games he h
The next day, I let Ethan stay home, I wouldn't want him going to school and encountering another delimma in school, but that didn't refrain me from actually going there and finding out what the problem was and most especially, the kid's who has been bullying my son. "Good morning Mrs. Sophia, to what do I owe the pleasure?". Mr. Silas the principal was surprised to actually find me seated comfortably in his office, after what happened the last time I came and complained about some boys picking on my son.."Sir, we have an issue that urgently needs to be checked upon". I said that and blinked twice.."Oh! What might be the problem, please tell me ". He sat down on his chair and asked..And so I told on about the remarks happening in such concerning my son and his late father, Mr. Silas was taken aback by the sudden audacity of the kid's and swore to take matters into his own hands, which I would want him to do, Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind meeting with the kids that choose to mak
The next morning, I went to the grocery store for some shopping, they were thing's needed to be restocked at home and I wouldn't want someone else doing that, though, I have Daniella and others willing to get that done, I enjoy shopping for the family.."Oh my god! Sophia?". I met Gena there, the lady who was supposed to be Sheriff's wife but chose to marry someone else, I don't usually want to meet people, but it's inevitable to avoid them.."Hi, good morning". I smiled as she did right back.."How are you, I'm so sorry about Luciano". She said, reminding me of what was supposed to remain in the past. When Luciano died she wasn't in town and I was made to believe that she travelled with her husband.."It's alright, we are fine now ". I made it clear to her that we were doing just fine without my husband..."That's alright, but tell me, what are you doing tonight?". She pulled her shopping cart closer and grinned.."Nothing, do you perhaps have something to tell me?". I smiled , s
I was lucky enough to meet Tristan, and he was a little different as I remembered him. Before he'd cause a ruckus with his friends by drinking so loudly but this time, he was seated alone and he was holding a glass of champagne with his pinky finger out.."Hey, baby, Do you remember Sophia?"..Gena gave him a kiss on the lips, I wonder why she'd do that In front of me before Introducing the both of us.."Sophia.... Luciano's widow?".His response was more like a question than lt was meant to be just an answer..Gena nodded her head, grabbed my hand and placed it on top of her husband's.."Hi, Tristan". I said weirdly checking signs he was my Luciano and not Gena's husband, but before I could do that, my hands was rudely taken away by his anxious and jealous girlfriend..She took me away from Tristan and I was sure that the look on her face were of someone who wanted to murder me for actually holding hands with her husband.."What the fuck was that?" .She shouted at me the moment t
The following day, I woke up energised from the news last night , and my sudden uptown behaviour wasn't unnoticed by my mom and son.."Sophia, did you win the lottery?". Mom joked around and Ethan giggled at the sight of me actually dancing at the kitchen.."Nope, but something did happen". I spoke and refused to say anymore.."Really, tell us, what happened mom?". Ethan grabbed a chair and sat down in front of the kitchen counter. Mom sat aw well and they were both interested to know why I suddenly felt like singing and dancing as if I was in a musical..I was Just about responding to their questions when Daniella walked into the kitchen and Informed me about a sudden visit of Luciano's mom.She didn't tell me that she was coming over!I had to leave their questions unanswered and gushing out to welcome Luciano's mother who had arrived from her hometown. "Good morning, ma'am". I helped her by taking her huge bag from hurting her hands."Sophia, how are you?". She looked aroun
We came to the Tristan's ward, but before then Gena earnestly warned me against seeing my dead husband in hers, and as much as I would've liked to tell her the truth, I was being stopped by Justin not to engage.."Hey, how are you baby?". Gena kissed his forehead and made sure that I saw them lock lips." I am fine, but what happened?" Tristan could not remember what took place at the coffee shop..I wanted to explain but Justin grabbed my arm's and pulled me out of the room without Gena and Tristan knowing about it... "Why did you stop me, I wanted to tell him the truth?". I turned as if I was leaving for the ward when he grabbed my arms and forced me back to his gaze.."Calm down, do you want Tristan to fall unconscious and god forbid, he falls into a coma; would you want that?". He left me to answer such a delicate question and as much as I didn't like Gena being with him, as long as he doesn't remember anything else about his past, I cannot intervene.."Fine! I won't do
My Mother-in-law's plan in approaching her son, needed an extra hand because there was no way , Gena would be willing to leave her husband alone and most especially , with me ."Don't worry about Gena". Mom said and then walked to the candy cane seller in the pack, she whispered something to his ears and at that moment, the man grabbed his cart and pulled it toward the way Gena was standing with her hands wrapped on her waist. The kid's at the pack, jumped out and went in their numbers to get a cotton candy. My Mother-in-law signalled me to move and I did rushing to the Tristan's side, he was seating on the bench in the pack when I approached him. "Hey, good morning". I smiled, slowly cribbing my breath. "Good morning, Sophia, I can tell that you came to jog". He said after taking a stronger look on my outfit. "Yeah! I did". I giggled and obtain another step closer, my hands was almost touching his own when he got a phonecall and decided to abruptly leave..The plans flopped
