HOME ANGEL 🌺

Episode Three , I need a child.

   On reaching home, Clara could sense the presence of dozie's mother in the house. Adam the security man helped her take things off the boot. Well, clara had stopped by to buy some foodstuffs at the supermarket in case her mother-in-law wanted anything. Anytime her mother-in-law visits home, clara had this habit of putting other things  aside and focus on the likes and dislikes of her mother-in-law but still, things got worse between them.

"Adam,"clara called the security man who was busy offloading the stuffs from the car.

"Yes madam,"he replied

"Is my mother-in-law home?" Clara asked.

"Ah, yes oh !" Madam in fact she is inside.she was asking about oga but I tell am sey oga go work. But when she asked of you, her face change! Oga mama's face change like shit oo! But eh.... Why she no like you nah............

"Will you shut up!"   Clara yelled. "What is wrong with you?"

"Sorry madam" Adam apologized and took the stuff inside. Clara followed him nervously. When she entered inside the house, behold the so-called mother-in-law was seated on a solfa, legs crossed. She was watching a very interesting TV show.

" Ah mama welcome oh" Clara ran towards her but was stopped by her mother-in-law  who raised a hand in the air.

"Where is my son?" She asked still watching the TV.

"Dozie is still at work mama."Clara replied but she ignored her . There was a brief silence before Clara was forced to say something.

"Emm....mama welcome once again, I didn't know you were coming but I hope you came back safely? anyway how are the people at the villa........." Clara did not finished her sentence before mama bursted out.

"Bia ! this woman leave me alone, what is your problem? Please allow me to rest biko!"

Mama was harsh to clara , but clara allowed her to be. Later she went upstairs but heard a heavy sigh probably coming from mama, clara smiled , only if mama could reason that clara meant no harm............

       Clara had her lunch in her room and soon dozed off. Later that evening, she woke up and heard noises from the sitting room. One of them was mama's while the other was Dozie's! He was back! Clara felt her heart skipped ,she always felt that way when she think of him. She was probably afraid of him. As she stepped down from the stairs, she  heard mama talking loudly.

"My good son welcome oh! How are you?"

"I am fine mama welcome oo! how is everyone at the village?"

"They were healthy and hearty when I left them. Ahh dozieeee!! You look skinny oo! I hope that woman feeds you well ? Look at you !, Have that woman decided to kill you for me? Yes nah! because I am sure that is her plan all this while." Mama said turning dozie side to side.

"Mama I am fine!" Dozie replied weakly allowing his mother to examine him properly.

"Are you sure?" Anyway why am I troubling my self? When I am here to restore you back because I am sure this is not your normal size" mama replied.
    Clara watched mama as she examined dozie like he was injured.

"By the way mama were is clara?" Dozie asked and mama frowned.

"How is that my concern?" Mama asked nonchalantly. Just then, clara stepped out of her hidden places to welcome her husband.

"My husband you are welcome" said clara running to hug him but mama blocked her.
" Hold it there woman!, My son needs some refreshments what are you to do about it?" Mama said to clara's astonishment. What is wrong with this woman? Is something wrong with welcoming a husband from work?
