Chapter seventeen:

May the 1st 1998

A woman sat down in front of the TV in the sitting room,she was white,with blond hair and a baby face, not too tall and a little skinny. She was eating cereal in a very big bowl and tapping her feet angrily on the ground, she wore a blue floral gown and black slippers.

She also wore medicated glasses and she held her spoon in her mouth for some time before removing it and cursing out loudly.

“ Tega, you shouldn't be coursing  that loud,you know the baby Can hear you right?”a pregnant woman said as she sat down on the coach while making sure her big Tommy was comfortable, she was likely to give birth anytime soon. She smiled sweetly at tega, and her anger slowly drifted away after seeing her smile. She was a very beautiful black woman with a gentle spirit.

“ you know I can never be angry when you are around vii” tega said smiling sweetly at Vivian and her big Tommy.
“ I know that, that's why I love you so much in it?” she asked before taking the bowl of cereal from Tega and eating from it before turning to watch the TV and her smile reduced drastically as she saw the person on the news show.

Tega noticed this and switched off the TV with the remote close to her, and she smiled at Vivian who looked at the bowl of cereal rather that looking at her.  Vivian didn't want to cry, she has decided to be strong for her baby and she will never be weak again. She had to make sure of that.

“ you know you should never have allowed her to take credit for everything that you worked hard for right?”  Tega couldn't help it. It wasn't fair she was just gonna sit down there and take credit for something she never worked for. Tega was furious ever since she started watching the news and watching Mira take credit for all the work her friend did,she just felt like entering the TV and slapping the hell out of her she was such a bully.

“ she is my best friend” Vivian said still unable to look at Tega in the eyes.
“ best friend my foot, Vivian sometime you make wonder if you are blind or something,that woman is worst than your enemy, she stole your husband from you then she stole all of your research and proceeded in kicking you out of her hospital and you still open that mouth of yours and alter that stupid, she is my best friend shit,she never even saw you as a fr not to talk of friend, you will still remain delusional when you keep thinking she has any good feelings towards you. In fact you should become bodhisattva going  around St-luca making all your enemies your best friend"

Tega calmed down after speaking her mind, before she shifted her position to face Vivian directly.
“ Vivian look at me" Tega said commanded. “ I said look at me” she shouted once more when Vivian didn't listen to her the first time. This time around Vivian raised her head and starred at her,her eyes were red and puffy she had been crying.

“ I am sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but sometimes the truth just got to be said, for you to realize things and feel much better, so stop crying or else am going to cry too." Tega said while making a face, Vivian on seeing her face started laughing.

“ now come give mummy a hug” tega came closer and they both hugged each other and the baby in the stomach moved.
“ did you feel that” Vivian asked smiling happily. “ yes, little Amyvia totally agreed with me, so listen to me from now on okay?" Tega said while Vivian happily nodded her head and continued eating from     her bowl of cereal.
