I rushed straight to smart and whispered a miserable "thank you" to him. I left to hold my mom, I helped her in.
"My legs are heavy" she hissed as she sat down.
"Ruby how could you?" She asked leaning fully on the sofa.
"Mom am so sorry for this embarrassment. I will pay him back for all he just did"
" Ruby did I warn you about dating the locals?"
"Mom I know! I understand that's why I feel so sorry"
"Go get me water, then we will have a talk because I never want this to repeat itself"
I nodded as I quickly got her some water In a ceramic cup.

I selected the black bean from the brown beans . it was so hot, me And mum were outside trying to select beans to cook.
The bench, environment Gave me ugly memories.
"Good day ma" I raised my stare to Ley ,smart's elder brother, he continued;
" I hope she is taking care of you well mom?"
I was so confused why mom should smile with this family again after all the insults Mr.Ray gave her.
"Hy Ruby"
He stared at me expecting a reply but I lifted the tray and entered inside.
"Ruby your behaviour is too bad!
Ley is quite different from your lover boy and if I had a chance, you would have married him..."
"Mom I think your so tired, please sit let me cook for you"
She nodded while she sat down.

As I was heading out of the compound with mother, I spotted Sophia sitting together with smart, he was hugging her passionately, I turned away and bit my lips hard to prevent me from bursting out in tears.
I heard foot steps at my back, it was Ley and one huge looking guy who dressed in corporate.
The guy greeted mom and I, as usual mom replied the greetings.
Ley held mom's hands and spoke
"Mom I wanted telling you of a movie that this very good friend of mine is about shooting. He is reviewing the story of Jack and rose but in a more better way and we need a rose, beautiful and intelligent with an acting talent. We wanted ruby to do it."
"Sophia is good for the part not ruby, I can't act jack if sophie is not Rose" cut in smart very crossed. He was still holding Sophia.
"Then your appointment is terminated for being jack"
"You wouldn't do that!!"
"Okay let them both contest for the part"
"That sounds good..what do you both say" .
Mom taught me not to talk in between conversations, I stared at them until they were through, then mom took over.
"That will be so nice, she would.."I caught her short immediately.. It is me now not her!!
"Nope!! Mom this is my life, don't force me this time!"
I walked forward to ley's face and replied "its a No"
Mom smiled, she had a way of looking happy while she is very angry. She patted ley's shoulders
"Give us just  tomorow, we will give you a reply"
Ley nodded and exchanged pleasantrie. Smart wanted going but his brother called out to him
"If you leave without apologising know that your grounded! No gfs till high school"
I almost laughed when smart knelt down and apologised before leaving.
