Later that day mom and aunty Paula sat just outside the house still in the compound, under a canopy where they parked cars, mom was telling her about her meeting with Mr. Matthew, this was when mom started playing the game that I really do not like, she was lucky that dad was a merciful man, if not, that Mr. Matthew would have been in grave danger because I know that Dad cannot do anything to mom, I definitely will not allow that, and he is a very wise king, he knows that anything that affects my mom affects me, and he knows that I will never forgive her if he tampers with her, so she was out of it all, it was Mr. Matt that would have been a serious dilemma.
"I have spoken to her, she is no longer scared of him, but she is just mad, you know they are friends."
Aunty Paula said, mom actually understood that, but she had already made up her mind about something, she looked at aunty Paula for quite a while before she managed to open her mouth to say something.
"My dear, I have been thinking of something."
"What is it, talk to your friend."
Aunty Paula responded to mom.
"Hmm... I don't know if it is clear to you that these people that came to the house today are not thieves, I don't know if it is apparent to you that they are not even humans, I'm sure that your daughter must have told you that they did not come in through doors, im sure she also told you that they did not leave through doors."
Mom said, gradually and, she kept plopping the words, but aunty Paula do not understand, the suspense was killing her.
"Juliet, I know about all of this, so please tell me where you are driving at and please break the suspense."
Aunty Paula said.
"Hmm... Ok, I'll try to be a little straightforward this time. But before I'll go further, I will like to know, do you know that these people did not come for any other thing or anyone but for my son?"
Mom asked.
"Juliet please go straight to the point, I am not sure if I know where you are heading to."
Aunty Paula said, she was already getting bored with mom's rhetorical questions.
"What I am saying is this, we are the ones who have brought these people to your house, if we continue to stay here, there will be more trouble... Please do not say anything, for now, wait let me finish with what I have to say. You are a very good person, you will indeed do anything for me, but I won't forgive myself if anything bad happens to you and your family because of me. I was talking to Matthew today..."
Mom said.
"What were you discussing with that annoying man?"
Aunty Paula said.
"Calm down dear. The man has changed, he regrets his action... Ok, now let me go straight to the point..."
"Yeah please do. Which one is that he has changed?"
Aunty Paula quickly said as mom's suspense was already becoming too much.
"Now this is it, he thinks that Damian is his son."
"Hahaha. That man is very funny. Ok, go on."
Aunty Paula laughed.
"Ok, the thing is that, he wants us back. In fact, this is it. This is what I am planning, Damian needs a father figure in his life, he has started already to call Goldrich his father, and I am scared, I need to get him a father, anyone and soon, all my life after having him, I had never seen any reason to have a man in my life, but now, I think that I need one and urgently, aside from that, I need to leave your house, we are bringing you trouble, I will like him to be in a home where there is no kid, where there is a Father that will do anything to protect him, and Matt is the only one I see as the perfect person."
Mom said hesitantly.
"No, no, no! What are you talking about? You mean you want to play him? You want to make him believe without a doubt that he is Damian's father? What about Damian? How will he take this? You know that he is no longer a kid, he knows everything, he knows who his father is, you just said it now that he knows his father. You can't do this my friend, if you are seeking my advice, it is a no, I just do not see this ending well, you know that I can't hide my mind, I will tell you the truth."
Aunty Paula advice looking very surprise at mom's unwise decision.
"Paulita, you don't understand, We can't stay here any longer, Your daughter already knows, Hour husband will also know, and your family is in a potential danger every minute we spend here, and you know that we just can't predict the time when they come. How can we predict his feeling when he find out, and you know that he won't be happy to know that we knew who and why those in search for us were in search for Damian. He will be sad that we brought trouble to his household."
Mom said and aunty Paula looked at her and hisses, she looked at him with much dissatisfaction at how mom spoke.
"My dear, Bright is my husband, I know him more that you do, so, I will say that I think it is wise do not help me to thing, if he finds out that is good, so there is no problem, he is my husband, I know how to tune him..."
Aunty Paula said
"Oh, good to know, but my dear, my mind have been made up, I won't help it if this people come again, who know how prepared they will come the next time."
Mom said
