Must Read: The New Girl

Mrs. James: I really do hope Rose was right about forgiving me. With the way he reacted today, I really don’t…

Mrs. James: Edwin?

Edwin: Yes mother, it’s me.

Mrs. James: Oh my son (crying) I’m sorry for…

Edwin: No Mum, please stop crying. I forgive you (smiling).

Mrs. James: Do you really mean that?

Edwin: I do. You’re still mother even though what you did in the past was wrong, you’re still my mother and you are family. I’m just happy to have you back after many years (smiling).

Mrs. James: Oh my son (tears of joy) I’m so happy to have you back and I promise from now onwards to be the best mother to you.

Edwin: Thanks Mum and sorry for being harsh on you earlier.

Mrs. James: It’s nothing. I’m just glad to have you back. I love you so much my son (goes to hug him).

Edwin: I love you too Mum (Hugs her).

* Mr. James walks in *

Mr. James: Is there space in there for one more?

Mrs. James: (smiles) Welcome honey.

Edwin: Welcome Dad.

Mr. James: Hello everyone. What’s the occasion?

Edwin: Dad, it’s almost Christmas (shrugging).

Mr. James: Oh, I almost forgot about it, but I was reminded by someone or should say something someone did.

Mrs. James: Oh really? And what was that?

Mr. James: I was just coming out of my office when I heard an unusual laughter coming from the reception office. Walking towards it, I saw my receptionist with her son together. It appeared that her son was on holiday and had decided to surprise his mother by paying her a surprise visit. I could see the joy in both mother and son’s eyes as they embraced each other. And it got me thinking, it has been a very long time since I shared that kind of joy with my own son. Edwin, I know I haven’t been much of a father to you but I’ve realised my mistakes and I…

Edwin: No Dad, no need of saying anything because I’m just happy that you’re back. We are now together as a family (smiles).

Mr. James: Yes we are my son (smiles and pats Edwin on the shoulder).

Mrs. James: Yes Edwin. And we are here to stay (smiles).

Edwin: But can you guys do me a favour?

Mr & Mrs. James: Sure, anything.

Edwin: Actually, I have two requests from you guys (smirking).
