Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 41

Mel has been seeing her her counselor once in a week for a few months, then it became once in two weeks time, the woman could tell she’s getting better
by the day and Mel is even considering the possibility of keeping her baby, it’s more like the world has even forgotten the juicy news on her wedding day,
it’s been four months ever since she was dumped but she has not set her eyes on the Pope family except few times when Perry paid her visits at home she
can’t Deny she still loves Ronald so much but she’s accepted the fact that there can never be them………..

Tobi on the other hand is just so happy that he’s doing something great with Melanie’s recovery, he loves to see her happy and smile and that’s why if he
misses to see her in the morning, he makes an effort to pass by in the evening and today he has a plan of taking her somewhere so he wakes up very Early
in the morning and drives over to her place before his mother woke up, he arrives and finds Ofelia’s other sister seated outside washing plates, he packs
the car and heads to where she is
“Good morning miss”
“Morning Mr Tobi….. you have surprised us this Early”

“Oh! I hope it’s nothing bad”
“Not at all…..have a seat”
“That won’t be necessary………is she in”
“Yes but I’m not sure If she has woken up” just then Ofelia comes out to welcome him

“Good morning son”
“Morning mum…..I’m so sorry I came unannounced”
“It’s OK you’re always welcomed here when ever you want….are you headed to the office”

“Yes…..I passed by to see Mel but since she’s still sleeping, I might as well come back in the evening” he wants to go back to his car but Ofelia stops
him

“Can I borrow five minutes of your time please”

“Sure you can” Ofelia leads him to their small living room, he can see the woman is really someone who takes cleaning as her profession, everything in the
room is so neat and it’s the first time he has entered in the house ever since he started visiting home

“I’m so sorry for delaying you son”
“It’s alright Mum…. I’m sure I would have spent more time than this if I had found Melanie awake, I had plans to take her to see where I work from but
there will be a next time”

“I’m so grateful you care so much for my daughter but as a mother I’m also curious, after what happened to her on her wedding I’m only being so careful……so
I’m asking you today, why do you care so much for my daughter, what’s your motive” he wasn’t expecting this kind of talk

“That day when Mel was abandoned at the alter, I just felt I should help her so I did, from that day I just feel I should help and protect her like a big
brother would protect a younger sister”

“Is that really all?….. I asked around and found out the therapy session she’s having is not something cheap”

“What matters is Mel is alright, that money is not important…. let me help her and she gets to be the Melanie she once was”

“You’re someone well known in the society, and Mel is known for her embarrassing situation that day of her wedding, a bride who got pregnant by another
man and ended up being chucked on her wedding day, up to date people are still talking about that mysterious man who defended Mel like he was obligated
to……no body still has any idea it was you because the camera only captured you from the backside but I can assure you the people here have started
talking, I’m afraid this won’t end well, Mel is going to continue suffering and I’m sure your business is going to be affected by such huge scandals”
