Chapter 184: Mom and Mr. Matt

She was just there behaving and making a puckered face like someone who had a rough night, well, I guess that it must be what her mom told her that could make her behave the way she was, because it was after she came out of her mom's room with her that she started with the rare behaviors of hers.

Well on the other side, mom was not actually having a rough day like I was, later that very day she had to call Mr. Matthew on the phone and they agreed to have lunch together in town. Later around one pm, they met at an eatery Gariki close to where mom works. The both of them had a lengthy discussion, one which started with loads of pleading and pardon seeking, Mr. Matthew and mom had a very strong history together, they had dated almost all their stay in school, they were even called the school love birds, the won lots of school couple awards back then in school, their breakup really got poor mom down, many friendly and unfriendly friends kept calling to ask her what happened between her and Matt, some even called to spite her, while some called to make a mockery of her, she took that pain in collaboration with the fact that she had already conceived me, a child she wished will never be born as at the moment.

"Juliet dear, please you have to forgive me, I know that I have done you wrong, but please forgive me, I had already gotten my own fair share of punishment, please do not punish me any further, I think that I have suffered enough, common, Jullie, look at me, I am no longer growing younger, I need a wife in my life, and it is you and my son that I need, ever since I found out about your being pregnant before doing that, I just couldn't forgive myself, I had been searching for every day and everywhere, I just ran shot of places to search you in, in fact, I will say that it was a miracle that made us meet again, please Jullie, I know that I have fuckedup, but please I want you to please give me one last chance, just one last time, if I blow it up again then you can do whatever you want with me, please take me back like the prodigal son in the Bible. And since the day that I saw the both of you together, that is you and my son, I have not slept well, I kept expecting a call from you every second till this morning when I saw your call."

So the man said, mom just sat down there looking at him, with little to say him.

"Do you know that if I just use the word hate to describe my feeling for you, do you know that I won't be doing justice to the fact, because what I feel for you is more than just hatred, you just can't imagine what you put me through, you left me in the most embarrassing and devastating situation, you broke me into pieces and you pushed me into the present problem that I am, the same problem that I have been for close to fourteen years now? Just look at you sitting there talking about your son, what if I tell you that Damian is not your son? Can't you see his looks? Can't you see his hair color and eyes? He is not your son, so stop all this rubbish."

Mom said very calmly like some bereaved of strength.

"My dear Jullie, he is my son, I know he is my son, I have known he is my son since I found out that you were pregnant with him, I never expect you to accept immediately and give him to me without some punishment. I know that I really did bad, so I am expecting anything you throw at me, and I am willing to absorb them all, trust me, I know he is my son, he is my Ikemefuna, that was the name I gave him when I found out you were pregnant, I don't know but my instinct told me that it will be a boy, please give me a chance Jullie."

The man said yet again.

"Hmm, I don't know if j should say that you are a funny man of a crazy person, you heard that I was pregnant and the next thing you did was help me name him, you didn't even care to find out the paternity of gender of the child, who does that? Tell me, Mr. Matt, anyway tell me about your wife. What transpired between you both? Why did you guys split that soon? I thought she would be better than me, you guys didn't even last a year if my calculation was right, because you came looking for me when when I was still pregnant. Right?"

Mom responded but beefed with a question.

"Hmm... Not exactly, when I came looking for you, they told me that you were no longer there, and some of your neighbors kept asking me of you and our baby, they felt you came to meet me, so technically, you had already put to bed then, and I also called and chatted Paula before she blocked me, both on phone calls and social media, she also told me that you had a boy and she told me that it was a boy and that I will never see the both of you again because you were both happy where you were, it was when I pressed her to tell me that she blocked me, she fist blocked me on phone calls, then WhatsApp before she finally blocked me on Facebook and other sites, by then your contacts were not connecting, I guessed you changed your contact and you stopped visiting your Facebook account, I dropped turns of messages but I got no response, I even..."

"Mr. Matt, I said what happened between you and your wife? Tell me. Stop beating around the bush, stop telling what I do not want to know, respond to my question directly."

So mom said as she cut the man's long story short.

"Hmm... Infidelity, she was not loyal toe, in fact, she was never in love with me, she was a lowlife girl from the bitter, and there she will forever belong, she planned with her boyfriend who was my Dad's driver, together they managed to manipulate me to employing her as my secretary at the office, that was where she did whatever she did to me, I just do not understand how it happened, it happened so fast, even my dad was against the marriage, but I kept In insisting, I just do not know what was wrong with me at that moment, but my mom believed that I was under a spell. The timing was so short, I knew her for not more than two months before we got married, the last time I visited you, I just employed her into the office, and then, I swear, nothing was happening between us, it was when I went back weeks later that I got totally formated out of myself, up till date I still cannot explain what happened, but I can only tell that I woke up one morning feeling so suspicious of her, that was just a year after the marriage, then I had to run a spy and found out that she often meets with her crazy lowlife boyfriend in my house, in my own bed, was lucky that I wasn't alone when I cut them in the act, I would have been in the prison by now, because I would have killed the both of them, well, long storry shot, she was whore, and since then I have been living with that mistake of my life, I vowed that I will rather remain single and die, that to remary anyone but you."

So the man said.

"Hmm... So touching, but I still have no sympathy for you, I don't know why, maybe because I feel that the pains that I have passed through because of you are worse than the one you called a problem, my dear, I have seen the devil with my eyes, and when I say that I have seen the devil, I meant it in a literal context."

Mom said.
