Baby Mama

LVII

Raphael dashed into the house like he just experienced an hurricane. His mom was in her room getting ready to leave the house when he stormed in

"Ma! Pls tell me that she reached out to you"

"Good morning to you too sir"

"There's nothing good about the morning mom. I can't find osas and Isabel "

"What makes you think that they are missing"

"I went to the house and there are not there, I went to the saloon and she's not there and I can't reach her on the phone . Why would she just disappear out of the blue "

"Disappear to where" she scoffs

"Am really worried mom.... I think osas is up to no good, you know how she gets with her unhinged attitude, she's so unpredictable. I mean what if she's really gone for good"

"Can you even hear yourself speak... what nonsense are you saying. "

"She has been gone since Wednesday the security guy said they left the house very early with big bags."

"Maybe she went somewhere for a few days"

"If she was traveling don't you think she would have informed me....., she should have informed me" he corrected his last sentence

"Where could she possibly go mom, she's not here and if she just got up and travelled to Warri without my consent she is in for it mom am telling you I will not take it easy with her"

"What would you do" Helen asked

"Let's just wait till I find her, even if she wants to travel is she supposed to leave with her car. I have a bad feeling about this mom am telling you. She has been gone since Wednesday even the people at her shop don't know her whereabouts "

"So Osas has been gone since Wednesday and it is today that you are just realizing it, I don't get why you are lamenting coz you don't seem to care. If you have been checking in with the her you would have noticed something was wrong before now. You haven't called or check up on the woman who is heavily pregnant for you and now you whoosh in here demanding explanations about her whereabouts at your own convenience." She shook her head, Raphael is so headstrong and stubborn and she's tired of talking to him about it

"I have to go the shop so I don't have time for this. Osas will be back later in the day so you can save all your questions for her"

"Wait So.....! She's here. Why didn't you say so"

"How? Did you even let me speak you just kept running your mouth and saying nonsense.
If you want to see her come back in the evening "

"I am not going anywhere I will be here when she comes"

"Do as you wish but it will be better if you lose that attitude. Don't stress that young lady and be sure you know what you're doing "

She picked her bag and walked out of the room

Raphael didn't want to leave and come back later he want to be here when she gets back and give him a damn explanation

She can't just acts as she likes, they are two of them involved and she cannot just make decisions to move without telling him

He went to his old room took a shower and slept for a few hours

He was busy with his phone when he heard her voice downstairs at around six pm
He hurried downstairs to find her giggling and chatting with Mary

She looked very different, a lot bigger and darker than the last time he saw her....her giant nose restructured her entire face. She had small freckles on her cheeks
