“no Tessy dear, i don’t need your help at the moment. Let’s wait till i discuss with Adaora and her mum. After then will i know my next move” i answered, while she nodded in acceptance.
“that’s cool my love” she murmured softly. I leaned forward, dropping a kiss on her lips. She instantly blushed while i smiled.
“so what’s up with the murder case involving Adaora?, can’t you get your police friend to drop the case?” i asked curiously. She breathed deeply and laughed.
“of course you should know already that such a case won’t get anywhere. There isn’t any strong evidence to hold anyone. Moreover Adaora’s mum has already closed the case with her money, though i know the greedy cops still visit her to extort more money. Just forget about the case” she said calmly. I heaved a sigh of relief.

Later in the evening, i called Obinna on phone and told him about my plan of staying in his apartment. He had no difficulty accepting my request, and so early the next morning i left Tessy’ s house with the promise of visiting her everyday till the end of my stay in Abuja.
Fortunately for me Tessy created no scene nor made any unusual demand. She simply let me go after a long hug.
“just know that my feelings towards you remains the same. I will do anything to make you happy” she breathed as we hugged…..

I barely had gotten to Obinna’s apartment when Adaora’s mum called on phone asking me to show up at her house as fast as i could. I quickly had a little discussion with Obinna, freshened up and hurriedly headed over to Adaora’s house with a fast throbbing heart.

I really was so nervous and excited. I simply just felt like a politician who was waiting for his election result….

9:30AM, ADAORA’S FAMILY RESIDENCE, ABUJA NIGERIA
I calmly walked into the empty living room, quickly spotted Adaora and her mum seated in the dinning room and instantly headed towards them. It was very obvious they have been there for hours. They weren’t eating but discussing quietly..
“you did great by showing up on time. I never knew you would come so fast. It shows Adaora means a lot to you” Adaora’s mum said with a smile. I blushed and looked at Adaora who avoided my eyes.
“i have talked with my daughter and i have listened to her views as well. Val you know we all love you. We love your family. We love your community. Since your childhood we have always wanted to make the family bond stronger with marriage. Adaora has always done her part but you took her simplicity and easy nature as stupidity. Anyway it’s all in the past. Adaora is still yours. It’s left for you to patch up things with her. Adaora dear hope you are with me?” she addressed me before facing Adaora who silently nodded in agreement. She smiled with satisfaction, got up and breathed deeply.

“I have to leave you two together. I have a meeting to attend. Please don’t fight again” she quickly added, got up and left. Leaving Adaora and i all alone.

I stared at Adaora not knowing what to say. The excitement, the joy, the happiness was just way too much. I couldn’t imagine how her mother did the magic without even needing me to say a single word to help my case. I felt overly indebted to the good old lady who i always had thought to be proud and arrogant.

“Adaora, my love” i breathed, stood up and drew close to her, placing my hands on her shoulders from behind. She kept quiet, making no effort to push me away.
“i just don’t know what to say. Thank you for giving me another chance. You are my life. I have always been messing things up and i know there isn’t anything i will say to you right now that you haven’t heard from me before. I rather say nothing” I breathed, bending to rest my head on hers. She closed her eyes for some seconds, breathing deeply.
“Val there is something i have to tell you” she said softly, freezing my heart with her words. I stared at her with all eagerness
