Mrs. Emily didn’t say anything rather, she concentrated more on her food.

“Mum, you haven’t said anything” Daniel reminded her playing with his food.
“Eeh about what?” Mrs. Emily asked.

“About Ella” Daniel said. Mrs. Emily went mute for some minutes.
“Eat your food before it get cold” Mrs. Emily responded.

“Don’t try to change subject mum. I need to know what you think about her” Daniel said.
“Forget her” Mrs. Emily responded. It came as a shock to Danny.
“Forget her?” Daniel asked curiously, But Mrs. Emily didn’t say anything.
“Mum” Daniel shouted at her.
“Listen to me Daniel. There’s more to life than what you see. Someday, you will get to see what I see” Mrs. Emily said.
“What does that got to do with my love for Ella?” Daniel asked angrily.
“Love?” Mrs. Emily laughed cleaning her mouth with a towel.
“Anyway, I met chief Okoafor and his daughter Cynthia. she’s now a big grown now. You know that?” Mrs. Emily asked.
“Mum” Daniel called angrily.
“She’s coming in from America next week. You know why? because of you. Both of you will make a perfect couple. infact, you better reason with me, because that will be the only way of cementing the relationship between the two families, And you know what darling! that is what your father would love if he was to be alive” Mrs. Emily said with a smile.

Daniel was confused and the same time annoyed. He couldn’t believe what his mum just vomited.
“Mum, I don’t understand what this is all about” Daniel said.
Mrs. Emily stood up from her sit angrily.
“Listen to me young man. Consider this matter closed” She
said with a frown and walked away. Daniel relax back on his
sit in a confused state with only one question reading
on his mind” what is happening”

“And who was that?” She asked.
“Ella” Daniel responded adjusting his tie.
“You don’t seem to understand, do you?” Mrs. Emily asked Daniel.
“Mum, I cannot understand, if you cannot understand my feelings” Daniel
responded.
“Feelings? what do you know?” Mrs Emily asked Daniel.
“Enough to know that I love Ella and nothing, not even your so called
Cynthia can change that” He said walking to the sitting room.
“Let me educate you” Mrs Emily shouted at him. she hurried down to the sitting room and saw Daniel putting on his shoes.
“Do you know what it takes to be a widow at the time of your marriage?” Mrs Emily asked Daniel.

“I’m listening mum” Daniel responded.
“Do you know what it takes? the sacrifices of raising an only son? it’s not everyday that you see a woman start a difference from the crash like I have done and you know why?” Mrs. Emily asked sitting down beside Daniel on a cushion.

“I will tell you why. I made all the sacrifices because I knew that one day, it will all be yours. Daniel, you’re the center of My life” Mrs Emily said.

“Mum, and if you love me and you want my happiness, then, you will let me marry Ella” Daniel said. Mrs. Emily frowned on hearing that from Daniel.
“Oh come on. she’s nobody. She’s not from our class. she’s pay degree” Mrs Emily said.
“I don’t care. I don’t care if she’s somebody or nobody or pay degree or degree pay or whatever.
