Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 25

Alice came down from the car tiredly. She hadnt even closed the door when Felix ran to her.

‘mummy,mummy’

She hugged her son. Then she looked up and saw her mother sitting absentmindedly in the garden. After giving her handbag to Felic to drop in her room, she went over to her mother.
‘mummy,’ she called with a small smile ‘good afternoon’
Kofo looked up and managed a smile ‘welcome’ then she kept quiet again.
‘mummy, are you okay?’
‘yes. Go inside, i personally prepared nsala soup with pounded yam, your favourite’ Kofo said in a bid to discharge her.

Alice sighed ‘okay, i will. I just want to ask for your opinion in a matter, tow matters actually’
Kofo groaned ‘cant we talk later? I’m very tired’

Alice was taken aback. She wanted to say something but she kept quiet, just kept looking at a mother like a ghost for a few seconds.
‘why are you looking at me nau? Please go inside, besides, Felix wanted to tell you something’ Kofo said.

Alice sat on the chair Felix had vacated, then she held Kofo’s hands.
‘mummy, i do not know what is disturbing you, but i would want to know, you are becoming pale now and……’
‘there’s nothing wrong with me’
‘mum, thats a lie’
‘Alice, pleaseeee, leave me alone’
Alice shrugged ‘okay, no problem. But i do have something i would want to share with you’
Kofo looked at her. If looks could kill then Alice would have dropped dead by now ‘what is it?’
‘its about Maria. The daughter to the man i’m about to marry’
‘what about her?’
‘i……’

********

Kofo sighed after listening to Alice.
‘so you still want to marry a man whose daughter is against you?’
‘mummy, i……’
‘listen to me. You cannot marry a man when his family is against you, most especially when the person is living in that house with him. The person might be your hidden enemy’
‘so what do i do?’
‘my dear, i would advise you leave that man alone. You dont want to cause a rift between father and child, do you? Dont worry, your own man will come. And when he comes, no man would be able to cause asunder’
‘mummy, are you saying i should break up with him? I love him and besides, i’m pregnant for him’
‘you are always pregnant for a man who you wont end up with. Isnt it obvious that you and Tony or whatever cant work? That man’s daughter hates you. You wont have a happy marriage. And no matter what, blood will always be blood and love will always be love. Blood is greater than love whether you like it or not. If you get married to that man, one day he would turn against you’

Alice shook her head ‘no. Not the Tony i know.

He would stand by me at all times’
‘sharrap! What do you know? I’ve been there and i’m warning you. Get rid of that baby and break off with him. Marriage is not by force and let him know that you can never marry him without his daughter’s consent’
