The Changing Tides - Season 1 - Episode 59

Just know one thing for sure. You and that evil girlfriend of yours will never bring her down again.
She’s standing up for her life and right now she’s in good hands.” She added as Paul looked at
her, her words getting to him.

Without another word Paul went back to the vehicle and as he reversed to drive away, Doro went
close to his window.

“One more thing Mr, next time you decide to choose a girl learn to choose them for who they are
and not what they show off in your face, I guess you aren’t that dump to choose unwisely” she
spat and went back to continue her washing.
Paul shook his heard and drove off echoing her words. Somehow wondering where Maria was if
he would never get to see her again.
After going through all these memories, Paul went to check on his sick son who had fallen asleep.

He’s fever had dropped a bit and he sighed in relief. The doctors had told him baby Paul had some
kind of infection and that caused some sores in his mouth. Which induced the fever.
He quickly rubbed the medicine he was given into his mouth and went in to join the baby in the
bed to sleep. His mind echoing the events of his memories.

“Take care of yourself my child and please when you reach there to see your son, talk to the
father so that you can get your son back. You have a family now and there’s a home for him here.

It’s not you alone anymore tell him that,” Maria’s grand father told her as she stood outside ready
to leave.

Musonda had gone to pick her up and she had already put her big hand bag where she had put
a few of her things in the car already.
“By the way, that man there is one hell of a good person.” Her grand father added, with a laugh.

” I like him as a man and a person. Besides he told me about how he feels. So I don’t know what
you are waiting for” he smiled.
Maria shook her head. .

“Grand pa, will see you when I come we have to leave now” she smiled at him ignoring his last
comment.

” And I will talk to Paul as you have said ” she assured him and left leaving him watching.
“We can go now” she told Musonda who was waving at Maria’s grand father..
“now I know where you get some of your good traits from” he told Maria as the car drove out of
the yard.
“That man is a good man and over the months I have known him I know he loves you so much.
You are blessed to have found him”
Maria looked at him and let a laugh….
“What?” He asked surprised..
“Well guess what? He just told me exactly the same about you” she smiled looking at him.
“I guess am a lucky girl then, am always finding good men in my life.” She smiled.
Musonda looked at her smile, she looked beautiful that morning even though he knew she was
sad deep down.

He wondered how he was going to help her live past her past as it seemed Maria wasn’t as happy
as he wished she could be. .
“He is going to be okey?” Musonda extended his hand to her shoulder when they stopped at the
traffic lights and he saw how quite she had been..


“Yeah,” Maria sighed sadly.
“I really hope so, am so worried. He has never gotten that sick to end up in the hospital. My son
needs me Musonda I can feel it. This is the second time am abandoning him after the time I did
that pathetic thing of ….”

She couldn’t finish her sentence, and he cut her short.

“I don’t want to hear about how you made wrong decisions and started whatever, please Maria, it’s
all gone and for me it really doesn’t matter, the Maria I know today matters more to me ” he told
her.

“Am content being a friend to this person am seeing now and I can’t bear seeing you all sad about
your past. It’s gone and let it be forgotten. So lets change the subject alright?” He smiled.

Maria looked at him and smiled…. “thank you for being my good friend Musonda. I really
appreciate it.”

They talked and laughed the whole way as Musonda told stories to help Maria forget her worry
and be at easy.
easy
She sat up as they drove in Paul’s yard. Being a weekend, she knew he was probably home. She
had initially thought of asking Chanda to take the baby to her somewhere else but the thought of
her moving a sick child didn’t seem so good. She knew it would be uncomfortable for her to face
Paul again but Musonda assured to stay by her side.

“I know this is hard for you Maria but am here for you and I promise you I won’t let anyone say or
do anything to hurt you. You are my best friend and I wlll do anything for you.” He held her hand
Maria smiled,

” well I really hope all goes well dear am not ready to face your bad side” she teased as she got
down from the vehicle.
“Lets go now” she sighed walking to the door as Musonda walked besides her.
