Adams was in an hurry to go over to the Airport ,but his mama won't let him be. She is so curious about what was making her "depressed" son happy lately, atimes when he sits alon he stare at the air and would keep on smiling broadly until someone, anyone, comes over to give him a tap in his shoulder.
Mama keeps on interrogating him and Adams was literally having non of that.
"Adams, where are you off to by this time of the day"
Adams at once stopped smiling while knoting his shoe laces as he gave mama the ugly look he wores always and moved away from her view into the gents
"Mama, I thought you make use of your drugs daily or shantel needs to be fired for failed duties"
Mama moved closer to the gents while examing the colourful pot of flowers she had placed in his room after she noticed he wasn't himself, believing that nature would certainly help him heal from past invisible wounds and pains, she would have believed it truly worked out but ever since it has been placed in the room he hardly move closer to it and keep on nagging that the "small" pot of flowers is taking all the space in his room, she moved away from it and rested her elbow on the bricks of the gents
"Well, shantel does a very great job by making sure your very stubborn mama takes in her drugs after every meal, yes! She absolutely needs to be fired cus she is getting on my nerves this days" Mama shakes her head Asif she is recalling an unpleasant event.Adams came out of the gents, moved over to his closet, picked up some fragrance and sprayed on himself.
"Then the Doctor Hanes needs to be sued for prescribing the wrong drugs to you cus it seem you are on no path to having a strong and stable memory"
Mama move closer to him ,gave him a spank on the butt which made Adams let out a cry " what was that for ma'am???!!"
She looked at him with a smirk on her face
" Who reminded you about your appointment with Doctor jane or the one with williams and Beca's law firm??
Where Adam work's
. Who called you back to pick up your files and car key when your careless ass forgot them at the garden? Who told you about the house party at the Garcia's suite??? Who..." She was cut off by Adam's outburst of. Laughter, she was surprised and became speechless, she has never seen her son laugh so hard in months and his eyes have never been filled with so much joy in a short while then she concluded that he has discovered his inner happiness.
"I give up ma'am, will you move out of my way now???" raised his hands up to assure mama that he had surrendered to her claims.
" I won't unless you tell me where your dumb ass is off to" She moved closer to him to avoid him from slipping away.
" Oh ma'am, we might end up together you know??, Since you like playing the duties of my future wifey, why don't we go over to the registry someday" He winks at his astonished mama. She moved away from him
" Don't I have a right to know where my baby is off to?"
Adams sensing that she won't let him be unless he informs her bout his whereabout
" Well... John's fiancee to be, and entourage will be arriving tonight and are probably waiting for me at the Airport rii now so if you may please excuse me" He made a move to go when mama gave him a scornful look
" You aren't getting any younger you know, and John is more or less a younger brother to you, when on earth will you think of getting married and giving birth to beautiful children just like your mama"
Adams knew it would come to this if he tells his momma about his whereabout and it would go on for months if he doesn't give her an assurance about marriage, buh the truth is after all linda made him go through, he isn't ready to get himself into a deeper mess, although he has found someone his heart beats for. He moved closer to his momma and lean against her " Aren't you concerned about my happiness?? Would you rather let me go get married to some gold digger than making sure I am in my right Senses, you definitely know what I went through trying to forget all what that slut, miserable and godforsaken person did to me!!!"
Mama became terrified about her son angry outburst and felt terrible for not being considerate. She moved her eyes away from his angry gaze
" I am sorry son, buh I want the best for you, there are a lot of benefits that comes with you getting Married
at the phone. " Where the fuck are you motherfucker, I have been at the Airport for while now yet you are nowhere to be found, God safe your ass they are not here yet".
On the other end of the call " Am so sorry bro, you know how mama has been monitoring my movement lately, she keeps on interrogating me about my whereabout. Am Ten minutes drive away from the Airport, I will be with you soon."
" You had better be asshole" He dropped the line and released a sigh of relief.
He had lost hope of getting through to him that very moment, he wanna give him a benefit of doubt by ignoring all that's been going through his head and giving him a last call.He was so happy that his friend is finally back in his right Senses after so many months trying to deal with painful scars, past and betrayal.
John's thoughts were interrupted by the Airline announcement of the arriving. He became nervous and furious, he wasn't sure of which attitude to put up when he sees her, should he behave like her therapist , who is strictly involved in business with her or like a guy who has something for. Memories of their last conversation before she went on leave to Nigeria keeps on ringing in his ears
She was seated on the couch opposite him, sorting out some documents. He was bent on getting more information about her and she kept on insisting she has told him all he has to know, but he feels she is hiding some painful memories. whenever he asks her about her past relationships she kept on changing topics and avoiding the discussion. He was determined to get the truth outta her and kept on pestering her.
" Mora, what is it you aren't telling me?, you need to open up to me as your therapist, you can't keep hiding things and expect to be healed from them, just spill it out and you would find burdens of pains taken away from you". Morayo stopped what she was doing and kept on staring at him, and he could find pains in her eyes, she needed help and would only get it if she opens up to him. she stood up and moved to the other side of the room to get the other files.
" Well, I am not hiding anything from you neither do I need teraphy, I am just here cus my company feels we all need to be emotional stable while handling cases and this is the perfect opportunity to finish up with my work so if you my pls allow me"she moves back to her seat but he was determined to get her to spil it all out
" Let's stop being informal here, you are my client, I was payed to help you from painful scars so therefore I ave a the right to know all that gives you nightmare and trauma. Yes, you claim i am your bestie yet you hide things away from me." He looks into her eyes and noticed the deadly look she has been giving him while she stood up and walked around the room.
" John, I am not hiding anything from you, what else do you wanna know, I mean, I told you about my past and you literally found nothing to lecture me on so why the fuck are you pestering me
her voice grew louder
. Do I have a scary look or do I look lean?. Do I stare into thin air or do I sit alone and cry?!! why do y'all think there is something wrong with me???" She sat on the office desk and burst into tears. John was so afarid and disappointed in himself. "Why did I make her cry?" was the questions banging in his head.
He was still lost in thoughts when someone tapped him on his shoulder, he turned around and it was Adams, he was starled at the joyful smile he carried on his face, he hasn't seen that beautiful smile for a very long while and this melt his heart and took away his nervousness.
Hey bro, wassup, I am so sorry for coming in now" John snapped away from his thoughts and hugged him real hard, he was soo happy his friend is back to his old jovial self. They bromanced and shared memories of the old times while waiting amidst the crowd for the arrival of morayo.
