They felt sorry for him after he had finished.
– Anita: the father of that your girl friend must be a wicked and heartless man.
Armand: you caused your mother’s death. You shouldn’t have ran away with her since you know what her father is made up of.
Grace: to her husband) don’t you know that every one makes mistakes. And perhaps, it was the girl that forced him to come along
. If he had not, it will be like he does not care or Love her that much.
Thomas: mum you understood perfectly. Its like you’v been in this kind of relation before. Grace: yea never mind.
Anita: but mum, i mind. I need another story and its coming from you.
Grace: what! No way i am feeling dizzy already Armand: yes its late time to sleep.
– Then Anita quickly placed her hand on Edwards hand and said.
Anita: you are highly welcomed to our family. Bro Tom tells me much about you
Edward: thanks very much.
– Then they all vacated the dining to their different rooms.
Edward went back to his room and sat on the soft bed he continue imaging how luck brought him there.
By the way he remembered Rose.
He know that she still loves him that was why she ran away at her wedding day.
He decided to call her which he did and upto 19 times no one picked up.
Edward was looseing his patient he began to think that she meant what she said for them to break up.
Main while, he decide to try one more time and this time she picked it.
– Edward: hello, what’s wrong with?
Rose: i should be the one asking you that question!
Edward: what did you mean.
Rose: you should learn to stay away from me okay.
Edward: so you are really serious with your motive?
Rose: i always means what i said. Don’t ever call me again.
– Then the call went dead.
He did not know when he started crying again.
At the end, he was motivated with anger and hatred ranged towards Rose and her father.
The next day as planned, they went back to the police station in search of the diamond necklace.
He saw the officer that collected it from him and he pleaded for him to release it but to no avail but not until he made a comment
”you knows what it takes.”
they then understood what he was talking about so they gave him some cash before he released the necklace for them.
Edward was more than enough happy for every thing, he keep on thanking Thomas who kept on telling him not to mention it.
. they went next to boutique and he selected new set clothes and Thomas paid for all of them.
After which they went home. In his room Thomas sat beside him and they began to discuss.
