Cold Love - S01 E09

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

I closed the door after she had entered and I climbed my bed staring at her.

She saw that I was staring at her and she came to the bed climbing it and holding my hands.

“Am sorry I didn’t tell you this and I hid the truth from you” she said while I sat straight.
Truth!

“And what is the truth” I asked anxiously
“Am not your mum” she said breaking the ice, spilling the beans and letting the cat out of the bag.

The news was like a bomb that was dropped near me, it seemed my whole world was shattered into pieces.

“But, but… how?” I murmured as tears gathered in my eyes ready to pour out.
:
“April fool” she said
I let the tears pour out of my eyes as I went over and hugged her.

“I hate you mum” I said hugging her tight.

“I hate you too” she said allowing the tears also to flow down her eyes.
:
That’s how we say I love you to each other when we can’t express our feeling.

We disengaged from the hug and I sat straight up looking at her

“That was an expensive joke mum” I said cleaning the tears in my eyes

“Yeah you are right, am sorry”
“It’s okay”

She pulled my face towards her, gently rubbing my cheeks.
:
“Amy I want you to know I love you and I will always love you, I am your mum and no one can take that place, not even the devil.

I only want what is best for you and you know that, right?” she asked

“Yes” I answered
“Am sorry I didn’t ask how you were earlier before asking about whom that guy was, I was really worried about you because no guy has ever brought you home and you were not in your clothes but his, I didn’t want to get the wrong idea that’s why I asked who he was, am sorry” she said looking into my eyes like she was searching for something.

“Am sorry for yelling at you and accusing you of not being my mother, you must have felt really bad when I said that” I said.

“Yeah I really felt bad and I think I deserved it” she replied
“No you didn’t deserve it, please forgive me” I pleaded
:
“You are forgiven” she said hugging me

“So what are we having for dinner? I asked
“Kiamichi and Designer soup”
“Who?” I asked why she laughed

“It’s a food not a person” she said

“A food?” I asked
“Yes, it’s my new delicious food in which I created the recipe, I also did the formula”
“Formula in food mum, is it mathematics” I asked
“Am sure I haven’t heard of that”

“Yea”
”I bet you haven’t‘
“Correct”
“So can I come and help you in the kitchen?” I asked while she gave me a look that confused me
:
“Any problem or don’t you want me to help you out?” I asked
“Funny you, seems you did not look at the time you came in, I have prepared the food and I was waiting for you to come before I can eat”

“Aw, I love you mum”
“Love you too dear”
“Let go try the food out” I said climbing down from the bad and head to the door which I opened.

“After you mum” I said after opening the door.
She smiled

“Thanks”
We got to the dining and dad was already seated waiting for us.
“Welcome dad”
“Thank you, welcome to the dining” he said while we laughed.

We proceeded to the dining table and he ushered us to take our seat.

“Have your seat ma’s” he said smiling
“Thanks Love”
I and mum chorused and we looked at each other laughing.
“Don’t tell me you have stolen my husband or rather you want to steal him” mum asked
“I stole him a long time ago” I replied while she gasped and turned to dad
“It’s that true” she asked dad
“Yes” he replied
“Come on mum, don’t you know you are an old cargo” I said further

“Me cargoooooo” she said stressing the o.

I laughed out loud and my dad laughed too
“You will tell me to cook for you; I won’t cook anything or do anything for you” she said facing dad.

Dad looked at me and shifted his chair close to mum
“I love our daughter and you but no one can ever replace or take away the love I have for you” dad said caressing mum shoulder

“Aw, that’s so sweet” mum said
They looked at each other and their lips coming close as they kissed each other with love not minding if I was there.

I wished Leo could kiss me the way dad and mum kissed.
We finished eating and I retired to my room climbing on my bed to sleep for tomorrow.
