Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 55

“But Mel, forgiveness always goes to those who don’t deserve it, it falls in the face of all our pride, it moves away the mad inside so there is no end to what it’s power can do” she looks pale and her tears start to gather up, Tobi comes to her and scouts down next to her holding her hands again

“Mel, even when the jury and the judge say you got a right to hold a grudge, forgiveness is that whisper in your ears saying set it free”

“Set it free?…. set it free and then what?… what Tobi”
“It will clear this bitterness away, it can set a prisoner free because there is really no end to what the power of forgiveness can do….so let it go and just be amassed by all you see through eyes of grace because the prisoner it really frees here is you Melanie” Mel can’t hold back her tears anymore so she let it free as he embraces her in his strong arms
“I’m going to protect you Melanie….. I swear I’m going to just cry and let it all out”…………

FEW HOURS LATER
Tobi drives a sleeping Melanie home in the busy street, he’s so afraid of what explanation he would give her mother once they reach home because he has non, he continues to glance at her tired sleeping face and thinks she’s an Angel, he had no plans to leave the office this late but he had a meeting with clients that took more time than he had planned so by the time he came out of the conference room, it was already coming to 8pm and Mel was already sleepy in the office all lonely, he collects the remains of the food she ate and drops then in the trash before proceeding to carry her to the car, she’s really heavy Now but he could see she loved being pampered and pretended to be sleeping…….. and now they are almost reaching her home yet he has no idea what he will tell Ofelia, it’s after five minutes they finally do……… he arrives and packs the car where he normally does and comes out, Ofelia and her sister come out to see if it’s truly them, it’s obvious they have been waiting and very worried…… he says hello to them and then goes over to Mel’s side, he opens the door and scoops her in his arms
” Can I take her in”
“What happened to her…..is she sick or what” Ofelia is worried on seeing Mel like that

“She’s sleeping…all is fine with her” he walks to the house with her and the two women follow him, he puts her down on her bed and tucks her in properly

“I’m so sorry I didn’t bring her home in time, I was held up in a meeting and I should get going now” he tries to walk past them but Ofelia steps in his way making him stop at once and face what he had been praying to avoid

“No son…..I had no idea Mel was with you because she clearly didn’t go to see you but what I don’t understand is why you’re the one who brought her back home, how possible is that….what’s going on, you have to explain now” Tobi is dumfounded again and all he can do is just scratch his Head……
