*continues*

I travelled home one saturday morning{weeks later} to see Mike in our house. Of course i really was extremely surprised to see him there, because he never told me he was coming, even though we spoke over the phone the previous night.

He was sitting with my parents in the living room when i came in. The look on their faces were grim and serious. I greeted everyone and ran into my room.

Mum joined me minutes later.
“what is this i hear?” she asked, sitting on my bed. I breathed deeply and faced her.
“what is it you hear?” i asked curiously, my thoughts running wild.

“Mike is telling us how much you have changed. He is complaining you no longer respect him nor show any atom of care towards him” she explained, keenly observing my reaction.

“oh mum, is that what he came so early to report?” i asked, shaking my head.
“don’t you deem it serious?. My God he is your fiancee and he has every right to report any bad character you exhibit. You should know better than that” she scolded,
“anyway you presence is required in the sitting room. Please be poliet and don’t upset your dad. You know after all that boy did for us at the hospital, he developed a very soft spot for him” she advised. I smiled and shrugged.

“i guess i shouldn’t tell dad that my innocent fiancee is living with a woman in his apartment” i murmured. Mum gasped and eyed me suspiciously,

“don’t be slanderous. I know you just made that up?” she asked. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

“mum do you think i’m capable of such huh?, Mike is currently living with his daughter’s mum. What do you expect of me?, give him a pat on the back?, no no no, i can’t do that. The sea fights with the wind yet the ship is the one that sinks” i replied. Mum breathed deeply, stood up and dragged me to the sitting room without another word.

Tempers went high, after i revealed the cause of my problem with Mike. Dad was extremely shocked, while Mike nervously tried to play down the whole story.

“i’m still having talks with the girl’s parents. My issues with her will soon be resolved, my greatest fear is that i could lose Cyndii before that happens, because with the way she’s behaving i’m really really scared” he nervously explained, putting my parents in a very difficult situation.

They all loved him just like i did, but time truly waits for no one, most especially in Africa.
The question on my parents lips then were, “how soon will the problems with Stella be resolved?”

A very small but difficult question, which he couldn’t convincingly answer.

However mum saw through me, she knew there was something else lurking in my fragile heart. She knew something was seriously amiss. The curiousity in her eyes revealed her fears.

“Tell me the truth, are you truly seeing someone else?, have you fallen in love with another man?” she finally asked when we were alone in her room. Her eyes keenly reading me.

“To find something you cannot see, concentrate on what you can see.”
