Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 82

When Tobi told his mother that Miracle had every right to be in that house, Monica became so confused and lost……

“Yes mother, the rapist you’re so passionate about is here in this house”
“Who?…. is it the gateman, the driver, those other guys or who?….. tell me….answer me Tobi, who”

“It’s none of those guys but your own son….yes the rapist is me and I’m the father of Melanie’s child”
“Have you lost your head Tobi…. are you mad, how can you assume responsibility for something as big as this”
“Because it’s true”
“I need a DNA test done to prove this your allegation”

“Don’t even go there mother because you will not only destroy Melanie but your own son too”……Monica lands hard on the bed and Tobi sits next to her

” Do you Remember the day I was celebrating my birthday and never came back home that night but came home the following day…..all wasted and drunk, locked myself up in my room…….” he poses to catch his breath
“Did you wonder what could have been the reason why your son who has never been so irresponsible came home in that state?….. here is the reason I messed up, I messed up big time, I destroyed a Lady who was engaged to be married to a minister’s son….I destroyed her life mother so you have no right to say all that you said to Melanie” he gets up and walks over to the door
“Does she know it’s you” Monica asks so weakly
“She has no idea but I intend to tell her the whole truth” he comes back
“You have no idea how destroyed Melanie was, she would have taken her own life if she was not a strong woman she is…..do you think she would have trusted another man in her life again if she was not a good woman”
“So I was right, you’re not with her out of love but out of obligation”

“At first I was mother but not anymore, I fell in love and I’m not afraid to say that…..I love Melanie as much as she loves me” Monica gets up and stares at Tobi and she’s scared and afraid because in his eyes she sees honesty and truthfulness

“Why did you do it Tobi…. that’s not who you’re… you have killed me”
“No mother I have not killed you, I have killed myself…..your words today….. your words, you have no idea how painful they were to bear, I can only imagine how this all feels for poor Melanie” Monica kneels down and apologizes

“Please son I have no words to say to you right now but I’m so ashamed of myself”
“You should be….I’m also ashamed to have you for a mother too….I wish I had a way of changing that fact”
“I’m so sorry…. please forgiveness is all that I need”
“Not from me…..you should go ask Melanie for that……we are leaving your house just like you wanted” he walks out this time paying deaf ears to all her calls…….

Tobi finds Ofelia and Jessica all camped at Mel’s door begging her to open the door and Ofelia is crying since Mel neither makes a move nor talks
“Don’t waste your time she won’t open up” he says to Ofelia who turns around with tears, she falls to Tobi’s feet and this is the time when .Monica came out, she stops watching and feeling so ashamed and bad
“please son she listens to you, do something…. do something and let her open up unharmed, I don’t want anything to happen to my Angel….. please I beg of you” Tobi is shading tears

“I Promise we will leave with no problems or anything, we shall return to our own house first thing Melanie gets out of there but please, help me…..help me” he holds her hands
“Get up….let me handle this, all I want from you right now is to get your stuffs ready, we’re leaving” Monica too is not doing good, her state is so terrible though no one seems to bother about it…..Ofelia and Jessy walk past her to the room that was given to them to get their things ready……… Tobi takes a deep breath and looks longingly at the door, he remembers he has a spare key for the room so he too walks past his mother, he didn’t take too long before coming back, he opens the door and enters looking around for Mel only to find her cuddled up on the floor, with her knees supporting her chin, she’s in tears but not crying out loud……..

“Babe….thank God you’re fine” she looks at Tobi who is seated next to her…… she looks at him for a long time and he gets so scared but suddenly she grabs him in a very tight embrace and this was when she let out a loud cry that attracted her mother and aunt making them to run and see what was going on…..Tobi lets Melanie hold on him and cry for as long as she wants and when she calms down and comes back to her normal self, he holds her hand and lifts her Chin

“Let’s get out of here babe….let’s start over so far away, away from all of this and I promise I’m not in this for a short time” she doesn’t say a word but Ofelia and her sister have already done the parking…….it didn’t take them long to vacate the House, Tobi leads Mel out of the room and leads her downstairs, he looks up and sees his mother starring with tears of pain….he climbs back up to face her
“It was good thing you learnt that information mother, instead of sharing them with me first, you decided to use the way you thought was so conveniently for you…..you asked us to leave and we are doing that, I will continue to work in that company, I will continue to be your son but from a far, let is be this way because it was what you wanted”

“Please son….can’t you reconsider”
“Reconsider what mother…..did you reconsider your words before unleashing them…..I’m protecting my daughter and for that I’m so capable of anything”
“I wish I knew better….. I can still correct my mistake my son”

“Tell me something mother…… would you have said the same thing had I not told you the truth, would you have begged us to stay back if you had no idea your son was the rapist father?….. you would have never so save that apology…. everyone in here heard the names you called Mel and our daughter….. you asked her about her plans for our daughter four years from now but I can ready picture a maid in this house or any other servant here calling a stubborn little four year old girl names……calling her a rapists daughter” he moves closer

“Don’t make me start hating you mother, you have no soul and no compassion at all”
“Please listen…..I’m so sorry, I’m ready to correct my mistake”
“Prove that by staying far away from our lives…..I don’t know if those people will even want to go with me to my house…..I know they only accepted to leave with me because they have no choice but how about outside this gate?… huh……whatever happens, I’m not coming back in here” he leaves at once without looking back this time…….he joins the rest outside where they have been waiting…… that was it, they left indeed without looking back………..
