The next morning I got ready to head to FiFi's place, I knew I just saw her yesterday and am supposed to give her space after she left angrily

I wanted to seize every opportunity I get besides I want to see her again, I don't care how that sounds or look but I don't have anything better to do anyways

I was heading out but my mom was in the balcony picking beans, I said good morning give her a big kiss and was bouncing out

"Olisa where are you going to "

"Am going out ma"

"Where are you heading to with my car"

"Mama pls just becoz am riding in your car doesn't mean I have to give you account of every movement "

"As a matter of fact, you're driving about without a license so yeah am concerned besides where are you off to this early "

"I have things to attend to ma and about the license I'll sort that out this week. Geez no one pumps me with questions like this with my own car "

"Then you should just go back there or bring your car and stop being monitored "
I know she didn't mean it but I was actually considering the second option. How about I just bring my car or better still sell it buy one here .

"Can I go now mama"

"Not yet son what about breakfast? Are you going on and about without breakfast now "

"No mama I will fix myself up thank you"

"Am not letting you leave this house without breakfast not on my watch . Now sit and help me pick these beans "

"Ma......" i whined

"Is anything wrong with trying to feed my son well, eat well cook home made food and get fresh "

"This is not about being fresh mom and you know it , you just like to stale me on purpose "

"What can I do , I can barely get an hang of you this days. When you were in the United States we couldn't spend time together because we are miles apart and now that you're here I barely even see you . This is not what I bargained for"

"There you go again mom , you treat me like am a kid . I have other things occupying my Time mom"

"Well you have to make time for your mama son coz am not going to let you push me aside. So come let's catch up son "

"What's there to talk about, I update you on basically everything "

"I don't mind a recap , is not like I can ever get bored of getting to know my son better"

"Mama you know me well enough, I haven't changed "

"Oh pls don't lemme start listing all the areas in your life that I have noticed changes but am not saying it's a bad thing. I mean I have seen immense growth in you sir. And Am Wowed "

"Thanks ma I'm glad I give you goosebumps "

"Laugh at me all you want. I'll study you like a book if I have to. That's reminds me I hope you are staying on top with your medications and you don't go about without your inhaler "

"I hardly ever need it lately. My pulse are fine and I don't get clustered like before "

"I don't care whether or not you have been using it my concern is that it must always be with you, wherever you go . It's your lifeline and you must always go along with it. Do you have it with you right now"
She checked my pocket to look for it

"Oh Jesus " I cringed my fists together

"Is lord" she completes the sentence and laugh about it

"Now go upstairs boy and get your inhaler "
She instructed and this time she was damn serious.
