Enticed - Season 1 - Episode 12

Trisha
I called Henry to come and pick me up… Because I am certain I would cause an accident on purpose, my mind was not functioning.

Then I called Tracy and narrated everything to her she listened attentively and after that she asked me about my feelings and tried to encourage me to stay strong but it was just going south.

I took a walk down the garden. ” hey Trisha… ” I turned around and Tlamelo was rushing towards me.

Tlamelo: hi… I am Tlamelo and I am your sister… You’re like 2 years older than me.

Me: hi… Do I have to introduce myself too.

Tlamelo: no… So I just wanted to speak with you.

Me: I am so sorry that my dad tried to kill your mom.

Tlamelo: he is my dad too

Me: its really weird… I am really angry at right now.

Tlamelo: it may not be now but you are going to have to learn to forgive.

Why are you talking to me about forgiveness? Shouldn’t we be talking about betrayal

Me: you have forgiven him.

Tlamelo: I have never felt the need to hold a grudge against him.

Me: what!

Tlamelo: yes, I mean look at it from his point of view… He made a mistake with another woman… He was afraid that it was going to destroy his family. So he tried to eliminate it to safe his family…. He is human… He makes mistakes.

I looked at her… She seemed like she was being pure honest and it was unbelievable. I mean if I was her I would have probably freaked by now.

Me: Tlamelo… He raised a gun up your mom’s face.

Tlamelo: yeah… That depresses me a little but after that, he did go to apologise to my mother… Besides, he said he just wanted to scare her.

Me: imagen if you were your mom.

Tlamelo: ok… Thats a hard place to imagen… But if I was my mom i wouldn’t have cheated on my husband in the first place.

Me: so you are blaming your mother?

Tlamelo: if i had to point fingers then yes I would blame her but I don’t blame anyone… The mistake is theirs and they will live with it through out their lives. We don’t have to add more pain to them.

Me: I am speechless right now.

Tlamelo: I have that effect on people. But you should really learn to forgive or you are going end up hurting yourself without realising it.

Me: but I can’t face my father right now. I swear I would puke.

Tlamelo: thats understandable. But think about this.

Me: but have you thought about how this is going to affect your life.

Tlamelo: I have and it won’t affect my life in any bad way

Me: I don’t understand

Tlamelo: in life we determine what happens to us… We decide how we want to deal with challenges thrown at us… I can decide to be negative right now and start complicating my mind over things that have happened… Or I could just accept what’s happening and make the best out of it… No offence here but I love my dad… He raised me up. As for mr sindia…he is just responsible for my existence and I don’t have any problem with him.

Me: wow… You have left me speechless again.
Tlamelo: well I would really like to have a hug from you right now.

I hugged her… She gives warm hugs. My sister… Still unbelievable.

Me: is your brother like you.

Tlamelo: that one… He is angry for now but he will be okay… He likes people.

Me: we should do lunch one day…

Tlamelo: definitely… And I am sorry about your wedding.

Me: its okay.

Henry appears at the far corner of the garden.

Tlamelo: do you love him?

Me: yes… I care about him.

Tlamelo: you should really think about what I said… Forgiveness. (Goes away)

The hell! Henry hugged me from behind and I turned to look at him then he kisses me passionately… Totally unexpected and leaving me breathless. This is like our first kiss.

Henry: hey

Me: what was that all about.

Henry: I am glad that you decided to come home home on your own will.

Me: I need a different environment.

Henry: what happened.

Me: you really want to know?

Henry: you will tell me on the way. Go get your bag.

At the Tyson house. I was welcomed by little Emily at the door.

Emily: mommy…

Me: baby… (Carries her)

Emily: where is grandpa? Is he okay… Is he dead.

Me: Grandpa is fine baby… Why do you think he is dead?

Emily: well… He was lying on the ground like a dead person. when will I go to visit him?

I gave henry a look to let him know that he is not doing Emily any justice by allowing her to watch movies rated over her age and he slightly laughed.

Me: next time baby.

I put her down and went to the living room where I greeted everyone. Mrs Tyson was more than pleased to have me back. She kept on telling me that I come back as Henry’s wife not fiancée because they paid my bride price, all that was left was to sign the marriage certificates and she said it was no big deal. “You can always go to the magistrate and sign those papers anytime. ” she had said that as she was cooking supper.

NOTE: she was the one cooking supper.
