Chapter 61: Bonding
Its been one week since the incident between Isere and her parents; at first it was kind of awkward between them all as no one said nothing to each other.
Isere's parents spoke to each other first before inviting Isere to join them and they all spoke. They spoke to the extent of deciding to let Isere take her path and do what she wanted as a means of correcting their past mistakes. They promised to guide her and assured her she could come speak to them whenever she had any issues and they would be open minded about it.
The next day, Isere mother had asked Isere to follow her to the market to get groceries and in an polite manner which took Isere by shock.
The family has been trying to bond and correcting past mistakes by watching programmes other than news together; Isere was shocked and was taken aback when she saw her mother tune the station to African magic and Telemundo one time.
It got awkward when she watched a kissing scene with her mother for the first time but no one said anything. Isere mother tried hearing her opinion about some certain programmes and all Isere could utter were fee words as she was trying to adjust.
Her parents never brought up the topic regarding her pregnancy and who the father was although she knew they'd ask her soon. She guessed it was because they didn't want to rush anything while bonding.
Isere's father had taken it upon himself to bring up topics whenever they ate together. He would ask Isere's opinion and Isere would speak up, she found it relieving to oppose their opinion and say her thoughts.
Isere waited for Kelvin to come online as she viewed status of her contact, she hadn't told her parents about Kelvin and her phone.
The door of Isere was knocked, "Come in," Isere said. Her mother opened the door, letting herself in.
"Good afternoon ma," Isere greeted her mother.
"Good afternoon," Her mother smiled. "How are you?" Her mother asked.
"I am fine, thank you ma," Isere replied.
Isere mother heaved a sigh, she gathered herself to speak to Isere looking for the perfect topic to start with until her eyes saw a phone on Isere's lap.
"Is that your phone?" Her mother asked.
It dawn to Isere that she hadn't hidden her phone from her mother. Isere swallowed the lump in her throat, there was no need in hiding anything from them anymore.
"It was a birthday gift from my boyfriend and..." She trailed off, she licked her lips before she continued, "The father of my unborn child," Isere completed her speech.
Isere mother made the ooo sound raising her brows. "Hmm, so about this man..." Isere's mother cleared her throat.
"About this man that got you pregnant..." Isere's mother swallowed the lump in her throat. "Does he know you are pregnant?" Her mother asked.
