Daniel stare at his mum continuously.
“What?” Daniel asked.
“what do you mean what? must you embarrass me? why did you left Cynthia and her father to come and watch movie inside?” Mrs. Emily asked angrily.
“They came here to see you not me” Daniel responded standing up from the cushion.
“How dare you say that to me. what have come over you?” Mrs Emily asked.
“Nothing. Nothing mum. Why don’t you understand that I don’t want to do anything with that so called Cynthia of yours?” Daniel asked.
“Shut up. Do you know what it means to be married to the daughter of your father’s best friend?” Mrs. Emily asked.

“I don’t care what it means mum. Love is not buying and selling like business. Love is feeling. Mine feelings. doesn’t that mean anything to you mum?” Daniel asked back.
“Yes honey, it does mean something to me, and what it means to me is, I must make something out of your life” Mrs Emily shouted.
“You mean your life mum. It has always been you and what you want” Daniel replied walking to the dining. He located an empty sit and sat down.
“Do you know what I want?” Mrs. Emily asked walking to him at the dinning room.
“Listen let me tell you. I wanted your father, my husband to be alive all through this years. I want all the building I have built for to be cemented by a good marriage between you who I have done everything for and a girl from good and decent home like Cynthia. That is all that I want. that is what I called achievement” Mrs. Emily said.
“Spending the rest of my life with Ella, is what I called achievement” Daniel replied.
Mrs. Emily froze.. she went and sat beside Daniel.
“Daniel, you want to ruin yourself? You want to ruin all I have build for by marrying that rat thing that doesn’t even know her parents” Mrs. Emily said. Daniel was shocked to hear that from his mum. she hardly know Ella, how come she now know more about her background.

“How did you know about that?” Daniel asked surprisedly.
“You know me. I got her thoroughly investigated. Her father died when she was barely 18 years old. He died as a result of curse” Mrs. Emily asnwered.
“From?” Daniel asked.
“The village shrine. The man she lives with it’s just her uncle. And you want to compare her with Cynthia? you want to compare her with a girl who has had the very best of life.
A girl of class, a girl with a solid family, degree and rich?” Mrs. Emily asked.
“All those things means nothing to me mum. absolutely nothing” Daniel replied standing up.
“A woman who I will love for who she is, a woman with nobility of character and innocence is the one I deserve” He shouted taking back his sit.
“A woman, I will truly love” Daniel added calmly and Mrs. Emily smiled.

“You know darling, that is why I believe that, Cynthia and you will make a perfect match” Mrs. Emily said with a smile.
“Mum. there can not be a perfect match than Ella” Daniel responded. Mrs. Emily got annoyed and stood up from her sit.
“You listen to me young man. I don’t want to ever, ever, hear that name mentioned in this house again. Get it. You understand me. Nonsense” Mrs. Emily shouted angrily and left for her room.

“You’re sorry?”
“Yes I’m sorry”
“You better be sorry. you think I’m those low class ladies you can toy with their emotions? oh God” she broke down in tears.

“Listen,
I’m sorry. I don’t know why my mother has to put you through all this, but, it has nothing to do with me” Daniel said.
“Sharap. dont Talk to me. what have I gotten myself into. I’m going to tell your mum” Cynthia shouted.
“Your mum told me that you love me” Cynthia added.
“But she lied” Daniel responded. Cynthia ran out of his office with tears, slapping the door hard to close.

“wai wai wait. oh my God can’t she just understand?” Daniel shouted
and fell back on his sit. He faced down thinking of the incident that took place. The door opened again.
“Look, I said” Daniel’s voice hanged mute when he saw Ella standing at his door.

“Oh Ella sweetheart”
“My love”
“I’m so sorry” Daniel said giving her a tight hug.
