"Mother in law...again "

"You haven't answered my calls so I decided to come to you," a lady said.

Sean's mother frowned as she looked around her house, " You don't know how I have suffered this past week " she cried.

"You can't just let this setback affect you "

"Setback?..., I lost my family cause I listened to you, now my son hates me so much cause I didn't even attend his wedding "

The stranger smirked, " Don't worry they will all come back to you after we take out Rose and Irene since this crazy story started with them "

"I am sorry but I don't want to be a part of this anymore. My life has taken a turn for the worst since I started listening to you so am done " Sean's mother grabbed the stranger's hand dragging her out of her house.

"But if you give up now you will lose your son" she tried to persuade her.

"But I already did, " Sean's mother said before slamming the door into her face.

She walked back into the house and picked up her phone calling her son who was on honeymoon at the time.

"Hello mother, why are you calling?" he answered.

"Can we talk after you return?" she said.

"What us it mother?" Sean asked coldly.

"I just want to apologize to both of you " she cried.

"Be gentle she is still your mother " Sean's mother could hear Irene in the background say.

She found herself smile listening to her voice, " She still worries about me "

"Yes mother, Irene is a kind, beautiful woman, unlike the way you try her "Sean rubbed into his mother.

" When do you plan to return?" she asked.

" Tomorrow evening "he answered.

" Okay, we will talk after you return," she said.

"Okay mother, I have to hang up now, my wife needs me," he said.

His mother held the phone to her ear as she heard Sean hung up before she did. He used to wait until she did before he hung up and sometimes kept saying love you until she hung up.

"I hurt you this much, being controlled and blinded by that woman's crazy words. I hurt both you and Irene and also your father " she cried.

Hoping for the next day to come so she could see her son a d his new wife, Sean's mother sat alone in the living room since her husband had left to visit a friend.

Rose was in the pool with Arthur, he was holding her by the shoulders as she floated in the water.

Their son walked in with a plate of melons cut into eatable pieces for his mother.

"Mama, eat melons " he offered the plate to her.

Arthur looked down at the plate and smiled, landing a kiss on his son's head.

"Thank you, Arthur," he said.

The boy sat next to his father as he got Rose out of the pool a d fed her the melons.

"They are delicious " she smiled giving him another kiss.

Arthur who was feeding her stopped, confusing both Rose and her son.

"Am the one feeding you but I don't get a kiss in return " he complained.

His son giggled watching his father's face frown. Rose turned and looked him straight in the face, " You don't need one " she said.

Arthur grabbed Rose pulling her close to him,

" Arthur close your eyes," he told his son who did what his father told him.

Putting his little hands on his face as he made giggling sounds.

"What are you doing ?" Rose laughed as Arthur pulled her in for a kiss, finally succeeding Arthur kissed Rose.

He had intended for it to be short but as always it lasted longer.

"You guys never stop doing that, even in front of your kid ", a voice interrupted them.

Rose pulled away from the sweetness of the kiss to realize her best friend her returned.

" Thought you be back later in the evening?" she asked Irene.

Irene carried little Arthur up in the air filling the air with his cute laughter.

"We decided to return earlier since we have to go see her mother-in-law," Sean said.

"Hi, she's first your mother then my mother in law " Irene argued.

Rose turned to Irene, "You're seeing that woman?" she barked.
