Catherine

Natasha's house was  a 2 hour ride from my house to hers and when I finally got there,I could see her happy face.

"The fish decided to visit me" She hollered like her usual self, motherhood didn't change her that much.

" I don't blame you" Catherine replied and was led into the expensive looking bungalow, Natasha's husband was a pilot and she had turned out to be nurse.

The decor was really cozy,from the deep royal red sofas to the plasma TV on the wall, chandelier and wallpapers adnorning the colourful walls.

"Aunty Catherine" Little Ginika ran into her arms. Ginika was beautiful like her mum and had a long hair, she was a talkative too unlike her brother,Somoto,he was quiet and extremely brilliant too.

"Aunty what did you buy for me?" She asked innocently

"So you can't greet?"her mother queried

"Good afternoon aunty,so what did you buy?"Ginika asked. Catherine smiled,Ginika woul turn out to be rebellious. She brought out the Barbie cartoons and Ginika squealed loudly and jumped on Catherine's body.

"Thank you so much Aunty"Ginka said before running off probably to show off to her brother. Catherine could only watch the little girl of 4,she was so full of life.

"This girl will give me headache,God protect her for me" Natasha prayed and Catherine laughed.

"She took your character"

"That's what my mum say but that's not true" Natasha said in between laughs.

"Keep deceiving yourself" Catherine teased her friend

"Gimme a minute" Natasha excused herself and few minutes later,she returned with a tray filled with chicken and fruit juice.

"So how is business, everyone,in fact everything?"Natasha asked

"Just there and I can see that you are doing well with the kids"

There was brief silence  which was broken by Natasha

" Have you seen George?"she asked quietly

"Yeah"

"I know you are mad at him but his the only one who can explain everything to you,I know things have changed and I feel so bad" Natasha looked like one that the verge of crying

"Come on Tasha,we were just teenagers then,just naive and all that,now we are adults and we can manage ourselves" Catherine explained.

"But Catherine...."

"Natasha am fine"Catherine said with a tone of finality
"I don't just feel like talking about it,I just want to continue living my life normally"Catherine explained

"I understand"

George

"What right to do you have to mistreat Melody, answer me young man?"Mr Obinna Kish asked his son.
George was standing before his father in his African themed office. The chairs were sown with colourful ankaras and the colours of the curtains were vibrant.

The air conditioner was off because it had rained the previous day and the weather was extremely cold.

"Dad I didn't do anything to her"George tried to explain

"But she came here clearly sad and pissed off,why are you treating her badly,isn't she beautiful enough, she's a great cook,I know that of course because she has the best restaurant in the state and her father owns an empire,tell me what more you want" The old man ranted

"I'm sorry"George apologised not wanting the discussion to continue

"I only want the best for you George"His father added and George mentally rolled his eyes,his father didn't care about any other thing apart from his business

"You the first son and you are going to take over this empire, don't disgrace me"His father said strictly. George only nodded. His father was beginning to make him feel pressurized.

When he got the door,his father called his name and he paused

"And just in case you have any other person at heart,I think it's time you let go"

George didn't say anything to his dad,he simply walked out and shut the door behind him. He walked out of the gigantic building and hopped into his car. He really had to see his mum,a 30 minutes drive took him there.

His mum dressed in a pink floral gown was watching a romantic Mexican soap opera.

"Seriously mum,you aren't 20 anymore"George teased before taking his mum into his arm.

"Good afternoon mum" he greeted

"How are you doing George?" She asked happiness twinkling in her eyes

"Perfect"

"I made some jollof rice with fried plantain just the way you love them"

"Kill me lemme die,let's go and eat,no time"George said playfully and watched as his food was placed before him

"Your dad told me that you mistreated Melody"His mum started,she watched as her son sipped from his glass of fruit juice.

"Mum I didn't do anything to her,the truth is,I don't like her,see mum am really scared of my future and happiness, Melody is a great girl but she's not who I want"George explained and picked up his spoon again.

"I thought as much,if it pleases you,I don't like Melody that much and am also concerned about your happiness, now the real problem is how to convince your dad"His mum said

"Sometimes I think that man doesn't care at all, even after my ordeal abroad,he wouldn't let me be"His face was stoic, reliving memories of his experiences often put him off

"You know it was kinda partly your fault too but don't say that about your dad,just know I love you and you would always be my baby"His mum teased.

George focused on his mum,she was so sincere about it and he couldn't help but rest on her shoulder

"I love you too mum"

"But am not a baby" He added and they both laughed
