"I'm sorry, I didn't come on time all these while to pick you, and to see Mami before she left us. Mami will really be angry with me" - The lady said, as she cried and approached Natasha the more, She wrapped her arms around Natasha shoulders in a series of tight hug, and startling Natasha who didn't know her.

"I'm so sorry," - The lady apologised again to Natasha, as she finally pulled away from the tight hugged. She wipes off her nose with her white handkerchief and sniffed, before she paused and said to the man that had accompanied her to the village, that also stood up from the bench in front of the house.

The lady said to the man - "Jide, don't you see that she has grown," 

The man nods in understanding, as he walked back to the beautiful black car parked in the open compound.

Natasha stared from the man in black trouser and white shirt, to the lady standing before her, and she awaited for the lady to explained herself to her, and the lady finally said - "I'm your mother."

"No!" - Natasha refused to believed this lady, as she quickly pulled away from the lady hug, and she shook her head in disagreement as she walked away towards the house balcony, as she couldn't just believed a stranger, whom showed up in her late grandma's house and claimed to be her mother, just because the lady is yellow like her..

"I'm serious.. I am your mother," - The lady repeated as she wiped off the corners of her nose, with her white handkerchief and she sniffed.

"No, You're not my mother" - Natasha replied, as she immediately moved away and walked to climbed up to the balcony, to go into the house.

How would she just believe a stranger who walked into her late grandma's house and claimed to be her mother?. "No way" - Natasha thinks, as she couldn't just believed the beautiful yellow lady. As her grandma whom could have confirmed was already gone..

Seeing the beautiful teen girl's worried face, Madam Bola quickly stopped her -"Wait.. let me call back our neighbor to confirm to you that I am your mother."

Natasha paused and turned backward to stare at her acclaimed mother. She sees the beautiful lady already walking up to their neighbor's house door, and she knocked on their neighbors door, as it was an opened compound without no fence separating the houses.

Knock, Knock! -- Madam Bola stood knocking at their neighbor's house door, as the neighbors has already gone back into their houses, to give them some privacy after sympathizing with them.

An elderly woman opened the door from within and stares at Madam Bola face, She smiled faintly as she stood by the door.

"What's the problem Bola?." - The elderly woman asked.

"Good evening Mama-bolu. Please Mama can you help me to come talk to Natasha, as she doesn't seem to believe me, that I am truly her mother," - Madam Bola begs, and the elderly woman sighed.

"When you too had abandoned her for years Bola, when your mother was still alive, how can she just believe you now that you're Mother?. Just wait let me wear my slippers, I will come out now and follow you to go and talk to her," - Mama-Bolu replied, and she walked back into her house and closed the house door, before she later steps out and wearing her slippers on her feet, She followed Madam Bola to go and meet Natasha, where Natasha stood at the house balcony and staring at them too, as they approached her..

"Good evening Mama-bolu" - Natasha greeted the elderly woman first, as the elderly woman approached, with the yellow woman.

"Good evening my child, How are you doing?," Mama-bolu asked Natasha, as she stood at the frontage of the balcony, and not climbing up.

"I'm fine mama," - Natasha replied and Mama-bolu sighed.

"Hmph. I'm sorry for the loss Natasha, but don't you know who this is?"- Mama-bolu asked Natasha, by placing her right hand on Madam-bola's shoulder, and Natasha shook her head, as she didn't know the beautiful yellow woman who resembles her..

"Really, didn't Mami ever told you about your mother or her children?," - Mama-bolu asked, and Natasha frowned as she remembered that her late grandma used to tell her - "Is because of you that Bola my daughter left this village. Bola will never kill me, I don't even know who got her pregnant, as she refused to tell us, and also refused coming back to this village again."

Natasha shook her head again in sadness, as she fought back the urge to sobbed at the remembrance, she replied - "No.."

"She's your mother," - Mama-bolu finally announced, but Natasha still refused to believed her.

"Mami has three children didn't she ever tell you about them?." 

"She did" - Natasha replied, even though her grandma used to spoke to her about her three children then, She has never seen them or a photo of them before, to know what they exactly looked like. And she couldn't just believed this young beautiful woman, just because she's yellow like her..

How can the young beautiful woman even be her mother? As the woman is slim figured, and very attractive to be her mother.

Natasha shook her head again, and Mama-bolu sighed, as Madam-Bola stood beside her and watching Natasha too.

"Mami has two sons older than her but they're not in the country, and that's why you haven't seen them ever since you have been growing up as a child. This is Bola Jonah, and she's Mami only daughter and indeed your mother," - Mama-bolu ended her explanation to Natasha, and she turned to leave the house frontage and to return back to her house.

"Thank you Mama Bolu, I really appreciate your help" - Madam Bola thanked Mama-bolu just before Mama-bolu turned to leave.

"It really hurt me that I haven't come back for Natasha all these years, and it hurt me the more that Mami never spoke to Natasha about me, Even as I used to send Mami money to take care of Natasha, it hurts, it really does hurts," - Madam-Bola cries the more as she sobbed..

"Is okay Bola, You don't have to cry. Mami will be happy in heaven that you finally came back home after all these years." - Mama-bolu said.

"Thank you Mama-bolu, I hope so Mama," - Madam Bola sniffed, as she finally wiped off her nose with her white handkerchief, and Mama-bolu left to her house which was the next building after Madam Bola family house.

Natasha sighed as she finally turned and opened the house door, to went into their old house as she was with the entrance key. 

She push the door opened and walked into their parlour, while she stood staring around their parlour, and Madam Bola knocked on the door and stepped into their parlour too. She walked up to meet Natasha that is standing in the parlour and staring around sadly.
