Pains of Amara(Completed)

Chapter 57

Amarachi continued sewing but was distracted by an outburst of shock which was made by Ogechi. She looked at Ogechi with a confused expression and her eyes drifted to the direction in which ogechi was staring.
Amara's eyes widened immediately she sighted Mrs Justice and Kaima coming towards them.
There was a frenzy of panic and shock in the air.
"Wel...wel..welcome ada"Lydia stuttured as she quickly went over to meet both mother and son who had bright smiles on their faces.

Amarachi couldn't fanthom what Kaima was doing with Mrs Justice. Her heart was palpitating as she made eye contact with Kaima.
She fidgeted with her scissors and immediately dropped the sewing tool.
Kaima had his gaze fixed on Amara as she herself was trying to avert her gaze from his.

"What is he doing here with Mrs Justice? Am I in some kind of trouble?"

"I headed to your shop and I didn't see anyone there so I decided to come here"Mrs Justice said to Lydia with a smile.

Amarachi immediately went outside and brought out two plastic chairs for their visitors.
"Goodmorning"Amarachi greeted in a whisper as she seperated the chairs from each other.

Lydia signalled to Ogechi to be at her best behaviour.
"Good..good morning both of you" Ogechi immediately greeted with a bright smile.
Kaima couldn't help but stare at Amara. She knew he was staring at her. It made knots tie in her stomach.
Ogechi noticed the unusual movements and she went over to Amara, nervously clinging on to her.

Amara stared at ogechi with furrowed brows wondering why she came over to her.
"Do you want to help me sew?"Amarachi asked teasingly after she noticed Ogechi's tensed attitude.

"Exactly why I'm here. Ogechi sew please. I've always witnessed Amarachi sewing but I've never seen you sewing so please sew"Ada immediately replied.

Lydia gasped immediately but was quick to cover her shock.
"She's not feeling fine o"Lydia immediately intervened.
"Yes..yes ma..I'm having malaria"Ogechi lied as she immediately put up a charade of being weak.

"You looked fine a minute ago now"Ada stated.
Amarachi watched the scene going on. She knew Lydia and Ogechi were lying. She shook her head in disgust as she watched both mother and daughter.

"She's recuperating o. That's why she looks a little healthy"Lydia lied.
Mrs Justice raised a brow at both of them, as if not believing the story.

"Ok if she can't sew now atleast she can cut. So take a scissors and cut a fabric for me"Mrs Justice insisted again.

The atmosphere was really getting tensed.
Amarachi was eager to see where all these would lead to but she couldn't help but notice that kaima was still staring at her. He didn't even seem concerned by the charade put up by Ogechi and Lydia.
He had his entire gaze on Amarachi.

"Ma...?"Ogechi subconsciously muttered after Mrs Justice finished speaking.

"Do it now. What is there in cutting? See ok I have a material in my bag. I'll like you to cut it" Ada insisted once more as she brought out a fabric from the abyss of her hand bag to the dismay of Ogechi and Lydia.

Ogechi glanced at Lydia who looked as worried as she was. She reluctantly collected the fabric from Mrs Justice and went over to the sewing table that Amara's was working on, folding Amarachi's fabric to one side.

"Don't get tensed ok. I just want you to show me what you can do. I've always seen Amarachi working. I want to see you work. Cut any pattern or style you want. Feel free"Mrs Justice said trying to alley Ogechi's fears.

Ogechi swallowed her saliva making her throat a little moist as she spread the fabric on the table.
She nervously looked at her mother who was silently praying for ogechi not to do something stupid.
Ogechi fiddled with the fabric as if looking for something.
