Understand My Right Love

Chapter Three

On my way to my mum's, I was excited as I knew food will be there. My stomach was complaining already and my body so exhausted. I wish my phone was on, I could have called my mum to serve me food already.

I couldn't stop thinking of the encounter I had with Eugene, who the hell did he think he was? Just because he got some beards made him feel like he was the center of attraction or what? Anyways thanks to him I was no longer thirsty because of the water he gave me. I felt his big eyes wondering on my face, I thank God he couldn't see my eyes or my face as I kept my head low not to show him my face.

"Ma'am, we are here," the tax driver informed, I didn't realize how fast I got home.

"How much is it?"

"One hundred and fifty ma'am".

I make the payment and left to get in the house. I was dying of hunger. I thank God there was food already served.

"Hello mom, how was your day?"

"Hi daughter, my day was fine, how about yours?"

"Mine too was fine". I said as I served food to my plate. I had some few bites before I proceed with the conversation with my mum.

"So, did you find a place of your own?"

"Yes, I did, the place is cool and I love it."

"Does it have enough security? "

"Yes, mom".

"And water?"
"They have adequate water supply, there are boreholes for backup water and generators for power backup,there is solar panels for hot showers too any other question?"
I knew my mom never dreamt of this day coming. I have been besides her for a while, but she doesn't get enough of me I guess. She is always worried about my sister and I but this time I hope she would let me go and have some life of my own before I get myself a prince to get married and produce grandkids for her.

All this while she was staring at me, I wonder why I had to ask.

"Did I spill soup on my top?"

"Of course not, I'm just wondering how you will manage on your own far away from me".

"Mom, you know I'm a big girl now, I share everything with you, trust me I'll take good care of myself, I promise".

Mom has been there for the two of us, ever since things got messy between her and dad. She decided to relocate and take care of us away from my dad. Dad decided to move on with his life and got another wife along with kids. He couldn't support my sister and I, we only had mom to rely on for food, school fees, clothing among others. After getting a job I decided to open her a cereal business where she could manage to get herself busy and money of her own.

"Do you remember when is Lora's school meeting?" I ask just to confirm if she still remembers.

"Of course I do, it's this February, I have missed her so much".

My sister Lora, was in a boarding school for her highschool education. I decided to select a school just within the city so that mum could easily move to her school without getting too tired. She wasn't that old (in her late forties) but I loved her too much to get her more comfortable as I can.

"Would you be coming with me or you'll be busy?"

The bank was busy especially during end month and at the beginning of a month. The customers would flood with different reasons. Some would be withdrawing their salaries, making payment for their bills and others requesting for loans, which needed my approval. I wasn't sure if I could make it to her school. I have missed her but the bank needed me and I needed the money more for her school fees and others.

"I don't think I would make it there, but I'll be picking her for her mid term. She can spend the two nights at my place".

"What is the name of your apartment again?'

I hope she won't surprise me one day by bringing herself at my door for thorough investigation on my eating habits or lifestyle in general.

"It's Legacy mom, house 24, any other questions?"

"Would you be leaving this evening?"

"I don't think so, I leave tomorrow after church".

" Good."

I cleaned the table and headed to the shower. I needed a warm bath to massage exhaustion out of my body. It was a long day.

After my bath I headed to watch news for few minutes and decided to switch to my Bollywood love series. It was time for my favourite series Love ooh love, which reminds me of love something that is out of my life. My family was the only love I got and had, but from relationship I was lucky on matters of the heart. I was just single after my previous relationship did me harm and made me feel worthless. I cried for days, tried to fix everything about it, but the guy was just a player or I can him heartless. I decide to move on and healed completely. After healing, it has been two and half years after the breakup and I'm single not because I'm not attractive, but the guys I found do not possess the qualities to attract me. But I was just young, not that young though. I was 24 years old, but age for me meant success than relationship, growing and achieving was my goals. But if a relationship knocks at my door I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

It was 9 o'clock and I decided to go to bed. My love for sleep was on another level, the skin needed the sleep to glow and stay young forever.

I could hear a vibration, wow it was 7 in the morning already, I couldn't believe it. I rushed into the bathroom had my shower dressed up for church before I had my breakfast. My lovely mum had already made breakfast for us. It was only on Sunday when mum could wake up earlier than the other days. It was at 9:30 a.m when I headed to church which probably would be over around 3:30 as they say there is no hurry in Africa, this was the lifestyle here and we got used to it as it was born in us.

Finally, the day went down smoothly and I found myself packing my clothes and shoes to head to Legacy apartment to my house. I had waited for this day now it's here, I'm overwhelmed by the sadness of staying far from my mum. It wasn't that far but it was away, this was a decision I made and decided to live with.

I didn't forget my charger as it was so essential. I requested for a ride and the drive was in my gate to help me with my luggage. I arrived at my place, with the help the driver, my things were brought inside my house. Before I could shut my door, I saw that face standing at it's door. I guess I might learn to get along with him rather than getting annoyed.

The end...
