CHAPTER 91:AN INGRATE
"Sister, l don't have a sister who is an ingrate like you. One thing Ivana, l don't want to see you near my mother's body, be it memorial mass or Even in my house, hahaa, sorry l was forgetting this is your mansion your haunted house. After l have criminated her body, l will be going back to my house, atleast there it's peacefully."
With that she walked away, before she could step outside. Ivana spoke making her halt in her steps.
"You won't criminate her body Mish, l know you are angry with me. You better give her a better burial, don't do that out of anger. We are still relative Mish, if l am not your sister listen to me on account of being cousins" she pleaded.
She turned and looked at them the took two steps in. "You won't stop me Ivana, did l stop you when you buried my uncle in the cemetery instead of family tombs in ancestral land back home?. Second thing l don't want some stinging flies at my mother's burial site. Third my dad has agreed with me. You will your self of if you get bored with your haunted mansion.
She walked outside and talked with her dad before leaving with her driver to the morgue for autopsy.
Ivana was left with too much emotions to handle. There is no time she ever thought that Mish will ever talk to her like the way she just did. All long she has been treating her like a sister. But now she is being blamed for pushing her Aunt into killing her self.
She ruffled through her hair messing it. She was frustrated with the audacity Mish had. 'If she knew that l was to be blamed why text me' she thought.
"Wifey don't mind what she says, burry everything at the back of your mind. She is just confused,she is trying to blame you for the death of Aunt -in-law she can't believe that she was suicidal. Shush, don't cry anymore, that's enough." He tried calming his wife down.
"No hubby she was so sure the way she was talking to me. The way she called me a fool, l don't no why she decided to abuse me verbally."
"Now you believed her? You believed what she said to you? Do you think you are a fool?. Hey look at me love. You are not a fool, you will never be one either. A fool can't have a second upper degree in economics that's pure mathematics. A fool can have a knowledge of knowing that the papers are dodged. Do you hear me? You are the brightest woman l have ever met"
"The real documents l was searching for led to someone's else ending her life..."
"Stop blaming yourself, you are not the cause of her dead, Will you? The truth will come out one day, don't stress yourself about it." Paul said to her while looking straight to her eyes. One of his hand was on her cheek.
"I really don't get it you know, l came here to be with her, to support her both emotionally and physically.l think we have no business staying here if she doesn't want to see me, let's go." She urged her husband to stand up so that they can leave.
"Uncle, mum, we will be on our way now" she nodded to them.
"Thank you for dropping by Ivana, Paul, are you both going to hospital for autopsy?" Mr Mukhongo asked them. Since she didn't want to explain much of what have happened between them,Ivana and Mish.Paul squeezed her hand wanting her to say the truth but she opted to lie.
"Yes l think Mish needs me now more than ever"
Paul looked at her with questioning eyes, she pretended not to notice and pulled him towards the their car.
"You could have told him the truth, you it was so rude for to talk to you like that" Paul said to Ivana after they entered the car. She looked at him apologetically, she was not read to answer him. He buckled the seat belt for then kissed her on the forehead then said. "I understand how you are feeling"
Paul started the car as they left the compound on a moderate speed. When they arrived at the highway,Paul didn't know if he should proceed and go with her to the office or maybe she had a place to go, he opted to enquire from her."Should l drop you back home? Or is their any place you want to go?" He asked her.
"I really don't know hubby, can we just roam in town, maybe my mind will be refreshed" she said while her eyes are closed.
"My love, l need to be in office, you know" he coered with his gentle voice.
"I forgot, l am confused, are you comfortable with my presence in your office. I think l will just keep you company, I can't go homebl will be lonely." She groused.
He smiled at her then said, "l am more than delighted, you know that you arey strength Ivana. You are the reason why l wake up very early in the morning to go to work despite being a CEO. I want you to continue having and enjoying the life you were used to "
"Willy you please continue driving and stop the flattery"
"Really now wifey, do you know how much l love, I know love cannot be measured. I wish l can split my heart into so that you can see the love l have for you" He confessed.
"I love you too hubby, now keep your concentration on the road. I don't want to lose my leg because of listening to your flattery"
Paul didn't talk to her again, he was trying to change her mood because he knows that Mish had spoiled it with her mean words. Now that his plan didn't work, there was no point of continuing with the sweet word. They were coming from his pure heart and not flatteries.
