Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 41

Dani peeped through the small opening of the inner door when she heard the outer door opened.

‘Mommy, it’s my new dad. I think he’s back.’ She looked back at her mom, Stella and Melisa who was checking her temperature.

Grissel had to explain to her daughter why Tom reacted that way so she wouldn’t end up hating him too.
‘Tom?’ Stella managed to ask because they were all thinking he left.
‘Yes, he’s standing at the door with a shopping bag. I think he brought ice-cream.’ She announced discreetly and closed the door behind her.

She walked to her mom and felt her temperature with her tiny hands on Grissel’s forehead.
‘Lisa, why is she warm? Is the baby coming out right now?’ She asked jumping up.
‘No, your mom is just stressed.’ Melisa responded.
‘Okay, let me go and tell Uncle Tom.’ She said rushing off.
‘Shirley, let him come in and don’t say anything out there.’ Grissel finally said after watching her daughter’s sneaky drama.
‘Are you sure he’s not back to do more harm.’
‘No, he came with a bag Lisa. How many times has your brother ever brought home with him a shopping bag?’
‘Well, you have a point there but you must take it easy.’
‘I would hear whatever he has to say then you drive me back to Jessy’s end.’
Melisa’s face went pale and dull.
‘I’m really sorry the reason why you went away had to end this way.’ Stella added.
‘It’s okay, my way of fixing things always end up ruining my entire happiness. Shirley you can let him in now.’ Grissel sat up on the bed. She was spotting earlier and Melisa had her changed after ensuring the baby growing inside her sister in law was fine.
‘Okay mom.’ She replied and went out of the door meeting Tom about to knock as he spotted Dani earlier spying on him at the door.
‘Hey, is your mom inside?’ He scratched his face.

‘Emmm, depends on who wants to know.’ Dani said maturely to the amazement of Tom.
‘I know you both are angry right now but can you let me in.’ He said further as Dani was blocking his way in.

She smacked him in the stomach. ‘My dad was always yelling at us so we came back to you and you were also yelling.’ She said sadly.
‘I’m really sorry, it won’t happen again.’
‘Are you sure?’ She asked walking towards the table in the corner of the room.
‘Yes, I cross my heart.’ He said playfully.
‘Oh uncle Tom, you know my secret anthem.’ She picked up a paper and walked back to him.

‘Of course, I had to learn on YouTube so I could be a good daddy to you.’
‘Mommy will like that.’ She said happily.
‘Okay, let me go and see your mom now.’ Tom walked an inch towards the door.
‘No, wait. We are not done yet.’ She held on to his trousers pulling him back.
‘Shirley, the priest is waiting for us.’
‘Why should I let you in?’ Shirley asked staring at him scratching his face.’
‘Alright I wanted to tell you mommy doesn’t have money these days. She lost her job.’

‘Okay, I will give mommy some money.’ He was getting frustrated. ‘Can I go now?’
‘’You need to sign here first.” She stopped him from moving and handed him the paper. Dani had spent the whole morning with Stella writing when she heard it was Grissel’s wedding.

‘I would read with your mom and sign it.’ He said without even looking at the paper.
‘You are in a hurry so I will let you go but you have to sign it before you come out.’ She cautioned annoyingly.

‘Thank you pumpkin.’ He was going in when she dragged him back again.
‘Uncle Tom, what’s in the bag? Is it ice-cream?’ She asked cheekily with her numerous smiles.

‘Oh this,’ he pointed to the bag in his right hand. ‘I got a new dress for mommy.’ He announced hastily.
‘Let me see it.’ She demanded with her hands opened.

‘Shirley, I got one for you too.’ He quickly gave her the dress from the bag and rushed in closing the door behind him quickly before Shirley could say another word.

She jumped up, quickly taking off her other dress to put on the new one Tom just got for her.

Tom who got in hurriedly came facing three weird women who were staring at him. He forgot he was still holding on to the door as if he was been chased. He froze there for some minutes when no one spoke.
‘Hi.’ He left the door walking towards them.

‘Hey, who was chasing you?’ Grissel managed to ask calmly as if nothing happened between them earlier.
‘Shirl…’ He was saying when she barged in.

‘Mommy, see my new dress.’ Uncle Tom bought it.’ She run towards Grissel who was getting out of bed while Tom continued scratching his head.

Grissel gestured to Melisa and Stella who has been silence all this while to give them privacy. They knew they had to drag Shirley out so Grissel and Tom could talk.
‘Did you say thank you princess?’
She covered her face. ‘No, I forgot.’ Shirley turned to Tom. ‘Thank you daddy.’ She hugged him by the waist.
