Chapter 215: Boxing Day

It was only a while ago, that I was mad at her, but now, I am extremely excited and filled with pure ecstasy, I hug her again while plastering a smile on my face, she is just one of a kind, I really love her for who she is, and for what she has been doing in my life, She is the best mother any child will ever wish for.

  "Please, hurry and take your bathe, before joining me for breakfast. You smell of alcohol, hmm... Damie, don't ever drink the way you did last night again, look at you, you are ever here angry that I barged into your room without knocking, did you even know how you managed to end up in your bed last night? Mr. Matthew said you may drink and you went on to drink to stupor, please you must never do that again." 

She said, I nodded my head immediately in shame as I had just realized how I shamelessly ended up in the bed, and of a fact, my breath had this strange stench of a drunkard. So, I stood up and smiled shyly before rushing towards the bathroom, this has been our routine, there is this relationship I have with my mother, that I think I will want to continue for a long time, I love my mom.

  When I was done taking my bath, I then went to meet my mum at the dining table, she sat leisurely, as she dished the hot white rice with Banga sauce with the gigantic meat that settled adversely in the flask, my mouth was full of enzymes the moment I perceived the aroma. Chef Evelyn had earlier prepared and served the food on the table. I felt even more hungry than I already was, I then went to the dining, where I sat close to her, fake dad bled out a smile to me before I greater him.

"Good morning sir."

"Morning my dear how was your night? Hope you are good, I see you had a steamy night"

He said with thousands of sweet smiles.

"I am good sir."

I responded, mom had this sweet smile on her face as she served the meal to the three plates on the table, when I saw the enticing food, with the enormous meat attached to it, I became even more hungry, I think it was the hangover that caused this intense hunger, and I also liked Banga sauce a lot, especially when it smells this nice

"I know you will be ravenous for this meal, don't worry, she will be fast with yours."

Fake dad said and I smiled as my hands quivered in anticipation of the food.

Without much time, min was already done with the serving of mine, and I wasted no time before I started devouring the mountain of food before me.

  "Damian" 

Mom called out.

  "Mmm" 

I answered with a mouth full, I can't speak, due to the huge morsel of food that I have already shoved in my mouth.

  "Why did you forget to pray before eating," she asked.

"Pardon the young man, he is famished"

Fake dad responded to mom on my behalf. I felt so embarrassed, how could I have forgotten to pray, just because I wanted to eat my favorite, I swallowed the food hardly, and forcefully tried to bring down the hot rice down my throat, I immediately took the glass of fruit juice before me, ut was the same juice made by Che Evelyn and her crew of chefs, when the content Burned, it hurt, I tried to hold back the burning tears that were already threatening to pave its way down the lids of my eyes.

 "Drink more, drink more, my son, easy so you dont choke."

My mother intervened, as I gulped more of the content, the juice content poured out on my hand, I then saw my hand glisten, but it immediately disappeared in a split second leaving only but the dried yellowish dust, this is what usually happens to me, whenever a liquid content touched my bare skin. I started noticing it not too long though. 

  "Are you okay" 

Fake dad asked, the moment he noticed me staring at my hand, I immediately nodded without saying anything else.

  "Will you like to go anywhere today? given that today is boxing day, so am waiting to see if you have anyone In mind that you will like to box." 

She said, while chuckling, I Burst out in a peal of hysterical laughter, I never knew my mum to be this funny, but even though I still love her, and I'll always love her.

"Mom, boxing day is not a day that we box people, it is a day that we open our gifts, we unwrap the gift boxes today, that Is why It is called a boxing day."

I said and even faked dad joined in laughing at mom.

"Don't mind your mom, she has her own definition of everything, even while in school, that was her character."

Fake dad said. Immediately after fake dad spoke about mom and I saw the was he looked at mom, the thought of Cynthia sped into my mind, "maybe I should call her", so I thought, but I can't call her, we were not in a talking term, I was certain that she won't pick my calls, but she was the only person that got to my mind, even if I was to go out with someone because she will definitely be the Right person go out with, I immediately brought my head down now looking at my mom with the upper corner of my eyes, now I killed the heavy breathing which was due to the laughter I had a while ago.

  "No mom, I have no one I will actually want to go out with." 

I said, and she narrowed her gaze at me.

"What about Cynthia?"

She asked me as if to say that she was ignorant of the happenings between Cynthia and me.
