Married Single - Season 1 - Episode 16

She held me and led me to a sit. ” feel free my dear, am not one of those traditional mother in laws . In fact I would rather you are close to me in that I will feel okey knowing you will take good care of my son for me” she told me.

Lucas kept on smiling as his mother and I talked. He nodded his head at me like to tell me ” i told you she will like you” but my inside was screaming at me.

Lucas’ mother took me around the house making Lucas stay back when he wanted to go with us.
” my daughter am glad you are in my son’s life. I was worried the death of his first wife left him broken. Now that I know he has fallen in love again, am well pleased and at ease. He needs you so much and am sure you will make him happy” she held my shoulders as she spoke and I felt a grip on my throat. I needed to cry. Wishing I was as honesty as the people that embraced me so much and saw the good in me that I myself didn’t see.
” yes ma,” I smiled looking ahead to hide the tears in my eyes.

I let her tell me all about her late husband and how she was not able to conceive after she gave birth to Lucas, how she had to raise her sister’s and brother’s children instead.
” I wish to have grandchildren from my own son you know, I really pray for God to bless you two so that you can fulfil my last wish” she went on speaking slowly and calmly, making me want to get swallowed by the ground to avoid what I was causing innocent people. The thought of how they will be disappointed when the truth was known pricking my conscience.
” so what do you think? ” Lucas asked
” about? ” I asked absent minded
” Stella you seem tense. Do You feel okey? Am sorry if I disappointed you with my surprise. Am sorry” he held my hand with one hand as the other held on to the steering.
” no no it’s not that. I was surprised yes and believe me I am so humbled you have shown such confidence in me and took me to see your mother. She’s a great person and so welcoming I felt at home” I smiled assuredly.

I let him drop me by the same spot he picked me not wanting him to see where I actually stayed and like always he didn’t ask a lot of questions.

As usual he smiled and perked my forehead before leaving.

I walked inside the house and threw myself on bed. ” oh Jesus! Save my poor soul!” I shouted spreading my hands and legs on th bed and taking in deep breàths.
