Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 15

It has been five days ever since the ugly experience took place with no one apart from Tobi, Mel and Tobi’s friends only been the ones who know about it……Tobi had spent the rest of the week at home with his phone broken, he couldn’t communicate to know how the office was running, everyone who wanted to talk to him would call his mother but he made it clear to her that he didn’t want to speak with anyone and it so happened like that……he was locked up in his room all this while with maid Lisa serving his barley touched food in the room……so today is Monday, Monica is seated at the dinning for breakfast all by herself like it has been lately but all of a sudden she feels Tobi’s presence when his perfume filled up the dinning room, she looks up hopefully and just as she imagined, Tobi who has become a shadow of his old self, is slowly descending the stairs with his bag in hand, Monica didn’t know how she did it but she quickly rose to her feet and walk over to receive him, she takes the bag from him and pulls his chair, she feels his head

“How do you feel now” she realises he really doesn’t have fever
“I’m fine mother…”
“Where are you going with this bag”
“To the office…I need to take care of my company and there are things there I need to solve”

“Can’t you wait till when you’re fine…I mean we should call the doctor home to come check you up before you do this”
“I’m not sick mother….. if you’re saying this because of what happened the other day just relax, it won’t ever happen again”
“Do you wish to talk about it?”
“About what…”

“What really happened that day, where did you spend the night that day, what made you drink yourself like that”
“Mother, have you ever heard about something called past?…..I don’t wish to talk about that experience, not today, not tomorrow and not ever”
“But you were in a very bad state”
“You think I didn’t know that?….maybe I made a mistake coming down for breakfast, I should have grabbed something on my way”
“I’m so sorry son…..but I don’t think that woman you’re seeing is a woman you should be with…….she’s a very bad example, she couldn’t even come see how you were doing all this while” Tobi now is quiet because he just knows his mother will not stop no matter what he says, he concentrates on his breakfast on silence till when he is done, he gets up from his seat and wishes his mother good day without their usual kisses, he leaves………..
