☆☆

MUM: what do you want to tell me? Anything and i promise, i will not get mad at you and i will make sure it remains a secret between us
ME: **calmed** do you know Evelyn?
MUM: the senator’s daughter?
ME: yes

MUM: of course, she always visit us whenever we were around and i have been wondering why she never visited since. I called her to come and meet with you but she complained that she was kind of been too occupied which is unlike her. I equally planned on seeing her whenever your dad returns. Do you know her?
ME: yes, mum. I know her
MUM: **gave me a suspicious look** don’t tell me that it is what i am thinking?
Her sudden change of mood made me intended to change the topic but i decided to face anything from her because that was my only chance of discussing about Evelyn with her

ME: yes mum, she is my girlfriend
MUM: what! **she exclaimed in louder voice** tell me you are joking?
ME: that is why i decided not to tell you since because i fear what your reaction might be
MUM: i am sorry but what, why do you decide to date her? She is way above you, older than you and she detested men because of some circumstance she might have told you but why does she decide to have flings with you?

ME: she love me very well mum
MUM: don’t tell me that you also do?
ME: i do mum, she is the only girl that i love, she is my dream woman and i don’t want anything to come between us

MUM: i am finished **she shouted placing both hands on her head**
ME: why are you shouting mum? Is it because i am trying to be honest with you? If that is the case, i think we have to stop this discussion now

MUM: no, there is something i want to ask?
ME: what? **

MUM: do you understand what that mean?
ME: if i do, i wouldn’t have confided in you
MUM: look son, i am not trying obstruct what your heart wants but i want to tell you that we are all family friends and i am not saying that she is not a good girl; she is a very nice, humble and gentle. I will be happy if you end up with her but the age difference is too much
ME: mum, forget about this age of a thing
MUM: i think your mind is made up and you don’t need my opinion, then why do you involve me here? **she angrily asked**

ME: i am sorry mum
MUM: are you ready to listen to me now?
ME: yes mum

MUM: good. What i am trying to let you know is the consequence of what you guys are into. Do you know the implications? If you eventually get married to her, do you know what next that will happen? I am not saying that you will not be happy with her but the effect it will have on both families. You know that her dad is a politician and his oppositions could use that against him most especially through all these lazy hungry media personnels. Think of the disaster it will cause to her father’s career and your father will be very disappointed in you because of that crazy scandal.

I became very confused. I could see many reasons and actual points in what she said and i have thought about that so many times; that was actually the reason i decided not to have anything with Evelyn from the onset but i love her, i can’t let go of her myself and the problem it will bring to me scared a lot into my body. How she will feel and everything kept my mind filled

MUM: i know that you truly love her for you to admit it and i equally know that she will have a special feelings for you for her to fall in love you with you because she hated men with passion and we tried to no avail for her to bring home a man. And now, what do you think will happen when she introduce you, an under aged first son of his father’s best friend and family friend as her supposed husband in making?

ME: i cannot do without her mum, she truly loves me and i also do and we have shared the best moment together. I promised her that i will never break her heart and i am not going back on my words
MUM: i know how you feel and i also know that it is very hard to let go of whom you love because i always feel empty whenever your father is not around. I don’t want you to break up with her or go back on your promise to her but all i want you to do is the right thing, i want you to do the right thing son. Consider your future, the future of your father and what all that live around you will think
ME: i don’t care what they think or say. I don’t know them and don’t want to know
MUM: calm down sweetheart. I want you to take time to build your emotion, explain things to her, talk sense into her head and i knew, she will understand
ME: do you know the feeling you have when you truly love somebody?
MUM: i know son
ME: it will make you do crazy things you will not do ordinarily. She love me and i have tried to let her understand the implication but the love is real, the bond is too strong and unbreakable because she has become every part of me

MUM: no bond is unbreakable only if you don’t want it to be broken yourself
ME: i don’t want to break it because i can’t
MUM: you can, nothing is impossible only if you never try

ME: how could you insist that i embark on such abominable journey, giving her hope and taking it away at last grasp? My feelings apart, how do you think that i will be able to convince her that i am not dumping her? Don’t you know that it might make her desperate and you know what that might lead to

MUM: just tell her first, take time to explain to her and give me feedback about her reaction and i will step in if it is not pleasant

ME: i will think about it mum
MUM: and don’t fail to give me feedback
I parked the car as we got into the compound and rush into my room ignoring Mira’s greeting. I couldn’t come downstairs that day thank God that i am not hungry because of the food we ate at the restaurant. I lay on my bed after taking shower and tried to calm myself but i couldn’t as all my brain was too occupied to have a second rest
Everything that my mum said about Evelyn was true and the right thing but my problem was the love, the bond between us. I equally feared what it will lead to. My problem was just growing into heaps. From Juliet and Janet to Mira and my mum and now Evelyn. My future was too uncertain and i could feel danger ahead but what could i do to avoid it? Nothing! Because it is already too late, too late to do anything.

I stood up and paced around the room thinking about nothing in particular as sweat filled my newly bathed body in an air-conditioned room. I began to pray for the first time in the week as i lastly prayed the previous Sunday but i felt that my prayers are not worthy to be answered because i was not even concentrating or serious
It was then that i remembered that there was bar on my flat. I walked out of my room and made my way to the bar. I sat on the only sit i found in the bar; picked up a wine my restless mind would not allow me check the name. I tended to pick a glass cup but my hand tripped it off the table and it splattered on the floor. I closed my eyes so as to regain a bit of memory but it seemed that was getting worst.
I pour the wine into another glass and pour the bitter-sour-like content into my mouth. I hit my fist on the table as the wine began to have effect on me and groaned as if i was been hit by double bullet

I poured more countless shots into the glass cup until the content of the wine in the bottle was remaining very small. I was feeling like i was drifting into an unknown world i will not term as sleep but something more than that. I forced my dimming eyes opened and pour the remaining content of the wine into the glass cup. I let the bottle of the wine fall to floor as it shattered into pieces, some hitting my leg. I looked down to my leg and saw some blood trickling down but i didn’t feel any pain
I was about pouring the content in the glass cup into my mouth when my mum’s voice stopped me

MUM: stop **she shouted** what are you doing?
I was very weak, i wanted to say something but my mouth seemed weak and sealed. I could notice my mouth moving but nothing was coming out of it. My mum rush to me and pushed the glass cup of my grip and it fell to the ground and some of the wine poured on my bleeding but not painful leg. That was when i began to feel a strong pain around my injured leg as the wine seemed to transfer a lot of pain into my system
MUM: what have you done **she cried as she held my weak body**
I could hear what she was saying very clearly but i couldn’t speak and my eyes were tightly shut.

MUM: Mira….Mira please run up here**she shouted at the top of her thin voice**
In no time, Mira was with us, my body was hot and shaking at that moment and i couldn’t imagine the fear on my mum’s face
MIRA: what happened **she shouted immediately she touched me**
MUM: i don’t know **she sobbed**
MIRA: oh my God, please God, not now, not now **she kept on repeating as she cried**
MUM: i don’t know what happened to him, i only found him here **she cried** please, call the family doctor

MIRA: let take him to the hospital
MUM: no, no, no, nooooo **she shouted**
That was all i heard as my body convulsed before I lost conscious
