Jake

When I got a call from my parents to come and see them today I was not expecting the news that they shared with me. It was quite a shock. You see I thought my folks will be spending all their lives in our family home. The memories in the house are bursting at the seams and every single one bar a few are happy ones.

"Well what can I say..are you sure this is what you both want"?. I look at them both sitting across from me.

"Jake..we have never been sure of anything more in our lives. Your Mom and I think it's time we start to enjoy life more so to speak and I believe a quiet life in the countryside is the perfect place for us both." Dad looks at mom and she takes his hand in hers.

"Well. I guess if that's what you both want then go for it. I know you both deserve it." I smile at my folks.

"Thank you son..now we know that you and Kelly are quite attached to this home so we have decided that instead of selling it we would like you to have it." My mom beams at me.

"What!!!. No. I can't!!.We can't ask that of you. Yes ..we love this house but it's too much, you need to sell it so you can buy your new place." I'm shocked at my folks generosity.

"Nonsense. We could never ever think of selling this house. It's still our home..I can never part with it. Yes it's just bricks and mortar but it's shrouded in our love and memories and it will always be our first home." My father interrupts me.

"I don't.... I don't know what to say.". I reply.

"Say yes that you'll move in... say yes to making it your home. Say I'm finally going to get Medina to marry me and give my folks plenty of beautiful grandbabies." My mother finishes off looking at me dead on.

What!!!. I'm shocked at my mother's words. I look to see both of them smiling at me.

"Oh come on!!!. When are you finally going to man up son?". My father throws me a playful glare.

"I don't know what to say really..How did you Kn...."

"Jake. Darling it's has always been Medina. As long as I can remember no other girl could ever match up to her. You have never,ever looked at another girl."My mother looks at me smiling.

She's right. No girl or woman can ever match up to my Medina. If my mom knew about it then surely Mamma must know also. Both of them are very close.

"Actually she does know". My mom answer's my silent question.

I look at her my eyes widening with shock. My God...Mamma knows . The realisation of what this means hit me really hard. If she knew about my feelings for her daughter surely she must have known about Medina's feelings. Why would she get her Married to Qumar then?. Why would she see her daughter marry a man who was a total stranger to her?. My head is spinning.

I feel Mom takes my hands into her slim ones and she looks at me with a soft smile.

"Jake. You can't blame the Jahan's for their decision in marrying Medina. No listen to me please..Medina would never have accepted you then. You know how devoted she is . Her mother was absolutely heartbroken when she had to marry her off, she came over and cried for days." My mom looks at me still grasping my hands tight.
