Mrs. Emily ignored their greetings using her eyes to
survey
the room she found herself in.”what a local and
disgusting
house” she said to herself still looking around the sitting
room.
“Me
and Daniel spoked on the phone. He didn’t tell me that
you
were coming today. Please have a sit” Ella said with a
smile
pointing to a plastic chair beside her. Mrs. Emily didn’t
say
anything. she was just busy staring angrily at the
plastic chair.
“Please sit down” Ella begged again with a smile.
“What
do you want from my son?” Mrs. Emily asked Ella
adjusting
her look to her. It came as a shock to Ella.
“Excuse me
ma”Ella said trying to get her correctly.
“Don’t
play games with me. I know your type. I have you
thoroughly
investigated and I know everything about you.” Mrs. Emily
said.
Ogechi stare at Ella who was also confused and staring
at
Mrs. Emily.
“I don’t get you ma” Ella responded confusedly.
“the
whole thing is, leave my son alone. He does not belong to your
class” Mrs. Emily shouted
at Ella with
a frown face. It came to Ella as a shocked. She thought that
when
Daniel’s mum come back from London, that, she and Daniel will
marry.
that Daniel’s mum will love her,but, she was wrong. Mrs. Emily
never
liked her even from the very first day she set her eyes on Ella.
Ella
felt sad. Her heart began to hot her as if it will explore in any
minutes.
“I know your type. You’re only but a gold digger. How much?
name
your prize” Mrs Emily asked. Ella was just looking at her angrily.
“We
may not be in your class or have the kind of money that you
have.
But,
one thing is sure, we’re definitely not hungry” Ella responded
with a frown face.
“I love your son,yes. But, I could have loved him even if he
wasn’t
your son” Ella added,getting infuriated this time.
“Don’t
waste my time little devil. How much?” Mrs Emily shouted
at
Ella. Ella took a sorrowful breathe calming herself down.
“I
think is time going to your home now” Ella said opening the
door
more wild for her. Mrs. Emily laughed angrily clapping her hands.
“Just
look at you. can’t you just be reasonable, huh, be reasonable
let
me settle you. I don’t want to see your stupid self running
after
my son” Mrs. emily shouted at Ella.
“I
said, leave now mother” Ella shouted at Mrs. Emily fighting hard
to
withhold the tears that formed in her eyes. Mrs. Emily adjusted
her
glance to every edge of the sitting room before stunning out.
Ella
forcefully closed the door. Ogechi went and embraced Ella,
consoling
her. Just then, Mr. Denis walked into the sitting room from the
backyard.
“Ella, I thought that I heard people quarreling?” Mr. Denis asked.
“papa,yes.
it’s Daniel’s mum. papa can you believe this. She actually came
to
offer me money as a pooper to leave her son alone” Ella explained.
“What
did you tell her?” Mr. Denis asked.
“what else! I told her that, her money cannot buy the love
I
have for Daniel” Ella responded and Mr. Denis nodded his head
positively.
“Come
and sit down” Mr. Denis told Ella.
“Issokay” Ogechi consoled Ella walking her to a sit.
“it’s
alright. You will be fine” Mr. Denis said, as one could see both him
and
Ogechi, patting Ella’s shoulders.
“cheer up” Mr. Denis voice echoed again.
