Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 1 - Episode 9

The door bell rang. Alice left the kitchen and answered the door. It was her mother Kofo.
They exchanged pleasantries and Kofo sat down.

Alice was about to go back to the kitchen when she called her back.
‘Alice, i can see that there is something wrong with you upstairs. Thats what i came to correct.’ Kofo said angrily.
Alice was taken aback by her mother’s attitude but it wasnt new to her.
‘mother, is there anything i’ve done wrong?’ Alice asked.
‘yes! Alice, are you the only woman who has lost a loved one in this world? He was not even your husband before he died, so whats wrong with you?’ Kofo ranted. Alice became pale but her mother couldnt care less. She must bring back the Alice she once knew, she didnt care how she would do it.

‘i specifically asked you to come visit on new year day. You promised but i didnt see you. All the preparations i made were all wasted and you didnt even bother to call us till this moment i am speaking to you. Tell me, is it fair? Your father and i were greatly disappointed. We waited patiently for your call but you didnt call. We called you three times but you didnt pick and even after seeing our missed calls, you couldnt call back. Whats wrong with you?’ Kofo said not minding the tears flowing freely from Alice’s eyes.
‘dont shed crocodile tears for me. You know what you did was wrong. You are the only child we have. How would you feel if Felix treats you this way? Its six years now since Benjamin died but you have not been able to bring a man to us.

What were you thinking? That by wallowing in your misery Benjamin will come back to. If thats what you think, then you are a liar! When was the last time you visited us eh? Tell me’ Kofo said. Alice bowed her head in guilt.
‘i’m sorry mother. I didnt mean to’
‘shut up! You didnt mean to do what eh?’ Kofo stood up and slapped Alice twice. Alice cried the more.

‘many mothers like me have sons and daughters in law but my own will be different. Why? Because i have an immature girl for a daughter. A daughter who would bring nothing but pain to her mother! Look Alice, i give you seven days to come and apologise
to your father and i. If you do not come, when next i come again, i will tear your clothes from your body. Idiot?’ Kofo said and stormed out.
