Seeing Mike ducking to hide from me made me almost laugh. I pretended to have not seen him and when Lucas stopped to pick me up I had deliberately asked him to use the Mtendere route.
” Lucas, do you mind going through the small road through the market I need to give someone some money I got something yesterday,” I told Lucas as he drove us.
He looked at me and smiled as was his nature. ” whatever you say swity, just direct me”
I made him go inside the market and take some two more turns until I was sure we had lost Mike.
I made a false call, trying to create some impression I was talking to the person I wanted to see. ” am coming to your place now can you come out?” I spoke to no one in particular.
” okey then I will Bring the money tomorrow ” I went on.
Lucas looked at me ” what now?”
” oh am sorry I acted before thinking, I could have called her before coming. She’s not home” I faked a smile.
” okey no problem we can simply drive back” he chuckled.
“Thank God for this gentle soul” I whispered in my mind.
Lucas drove us back to the main road and he didn’t allow me to ask questions of where we were going. I sat silently letting him take me where ever he wanted.
We came to halt in front of a house in Chalala.
” come on Stella I want you to meet my mother!” He announced as he opened the door for me.
” what?” I popped my eyes open shocked.
” no I cant! ” I almost shouted loudly.
The thought of him introducing me to his mother weakening me. I was a married person for heaven’s sake. How was I going to dodge that one now. ” oh God !” I screamed in my mind, forgetting how I had put God aside and now that trouble had come my way, I was remembering calling out God’s name.
” Stella no need to get all worKed out. You will love the old woman, she’s looking forward to seeing you” Lucas said excitedly.
I had no way out as we were already at the house. ” calm down Stella” I told myself as he held my hand and led me to the front of the house.
” oh my God they are here!” A slim girl shouted excited as we emerged from the door.
I couldn’t hold myself, my heart was racing. In all honesty I had not seen that one coming. I thought the surprise was probably another dinner or something else. But taking me to his mother really got me. My stomach was completely scattered as I could feel it move about like someone was shaking it.
Lucas pressed my hand as though to assure me he was there for me.
An elderly women walked towards us wearing a wide smile, ” you are welcome home my daughter” she said pulling me in a hug.
” my son has been singing about you and we all couldn’t wait to see you. He was right, you are so beautiful” she let a laugh.
” Thank you mom” is all I managed to say trying to smile at her.
