Re: Meant To Be by marianneada(f): 9:45pm On Jun 06, 2017
******Everyone was tired when they got home,... A spare room was cleaned arranged for their grandma,...... At dinner, There was enough to eat and drink,.... Everyone was presented at the dinning except grandma, she requested her food to be brought to her room,.... Angela and Vanessa decided to serve her,..... They quietly opened her door to see her sitting with her hands on her jaws,....... They dropped her food on the table and sat beside her,.... Vanessa put her hands across shoulders and pecked her on the cheek,...

"Maama, maama,.... "Vanessa teased her

The old woman looked up and smiled wiping away her tears,.....

" Where're my great grand children,... "she asked Vanessa

" They're asleep, you have enough time to play with them,..... Dont tell me you're still brooding? "

" My daughter, do you know how many years i spent away from my family,...just look at you and your brother,... I didn't watch you two grow,... I promised your late mother that i will take care of you and your brother,...... If only your father had listened to me,.... I saw this coming but he was too stubborn,.... That evil woman will know no peace,.. She'll die a shameless death,.... As for your father, i can forgive him but i dont think the wound will heal that easily,....... "she lamented


" Mama, it's ok, it's well,..... At least we're here together today,.... We should be celebrating our happy re union"Vanessa told her


"Mama, pls try and eat something,...... "Angela spoke for the first time since they Entered the room,..

"My daughter i'm not hungry,.... "

" mama, if you don't eat, i'll starve myself,.. "Angela said feigning seriousness

" Ok, i'll eat just a little. "

They cheered her up with the story of how they defeated their step mother


Everyone retired to their rooms exhausted,..... Richard was excited to have his Angel sleep in his arms,..... He wouldn't let her go,.... He pampered her like a baby,.... For the first time since she was pregnant, he saw her bare baby bump,...... He insisted in helping her with a warm bath,.... They bathed together,. They spent time in the bathroom kissing and cuddling each other, at last they came out of the bathroom in their robes... Angela wore a sexy nightie that revealed her baby bump,... She was looking hot in that, Richard couldn't take his eyes off her,.... He wore his pyjamas and they laid down on the bed.... They chatted long into the night,.... She was already dozing off in his arms,... He covered her with a blanket and they slept off,........


********* Mrs Johnson has returned from Ghana, after all efforts to find Vanessa proved abortive,.... She was devastated,.... She returned home a sad woman,.... The bank she borrowed money from to execute her contract is on her neck,....... She received a distressing call from her secretary early the next morning and She rushed off to the office,....


She entered her office to meet everywhere quiet,....this was unusual as work starts by7. 30 everyday
Everyone was supposed to be busy on their desk,.. But everywhere was quiet and unkept,..... She was furious,...... The secretary walked in and saw the look on her boss's face,......


"Errmmmm, madam, this was exactly what i was trying to explain to you,..... "

" What do you mean? "

" Madam, you've been owing the workers for four months now,.... I dont know how they managed to find out that you're going bankrupt,.... They all resigned,.... I tried my best to stop them but they had already made up their minds,... "

" You're an incompetent fool!!!!!!!! "she thundered at her secretary

" But madam, you should be blaming the Board of directors, ma, i'm only a secretary to you, they all planned to quit "

" Shut your mouth, you sat down and watched my workers leave and you said nothing,... "

" but i tried ma, i called you several times to explain to you but you always shut me up,...... "

Mrs Johnsonh angrily stormed out and drove home


******** Richard and his grandmother spent the morning playing with the twins in her room ,.....the door slide open,.. His dad and Vanessa strolled into the room,.... They sat on the couch,...... There was silence in the room,.. The maid was called in to take the twins to the nursery,....... Mr Johnson broke the silence

"Mama,...... I'm now born again and i want your forgiveness and that of my children,... I want to have peace of mind,.... My heart is filled with guilt,........."

"Daddy pls whatever it is, we've forgiven you,.... "Richard told him

" please allow him to talk,....! "his grandmother ordered him

" Don't stop me son,...I met and fell in love with your mother, though i met your step mother first,.... I came close to Benny so that she would help me in wooing your late mother since they were best of friends but she misunderstood my closeness to her,....... I married your mother one year later and God blessed us with Vanessa,..... It was after her birth that Benny came to help her out,..... She seduced me into sleeping with her,...... After that she threatened to expose our sex escapade to my wife if i fail to have an affair with her............ The doctor had earlier warned against giving her heart breaking news since her heart is weak,...... I was shattered, i love my wife so much and cant stand her quitting the marriage,........ I obliged to Benny 's request,..... We started having an affair,. ... She started controlling my life gradually ..... I turned to a wife beater,....i made life miserable for my wife,....... Then One night when she was pregnant with Richard,...... She caught us making love on our matrimonial bed,..... Before i could get to her, her heart failed and She fell down the stairs,...... I rushed her to the hospital and she was immediately operated on,...... Her baby survived but she died hours after the surgery,.... I couldn't forgive myself for causing my wife's death,... I decided to end the relationship,. But i didn't know how I ended up marrying her and how i became her puppet,....... "he confessed to his children

They were all sobbing when he finished,.... Richard and Vanessa wept bitterly,..they hugged their dad...he left the room and returned with photographs of his late wife,.... He showed the photos to Richard who held them to his heart,..... He wished his mother was alive, he never got the chance to see his mother, he grew up believing Benny was his mother,..... He wept sorrowfully,...... He had never cried so much before........ At least he now knows what his mother looks like,.... She was smiling beautifully in one of the pictures,.... She had dimples,.... Richard couldn't let go of the pictures,...........

They went back to their rooms after their grandmother accepted their dad's apology, Richard returned to his room still sobbing, Angela understood the emotional state he was in,..... He hugged her crying,...... She laid him on the bed and placed his head on her laps,.... She used soothing words on him to know if he'll calm down,.... He held the pictures to his chest while he slept on her laps,.... He slept with tears in his eyes,.... She laid beside him and they had a good siesta together .......


******** The sound of Richard's phone woke them up,.... He checked the caller Id and it was Desmond,..... He had travelled to Dubai with his fiancee to shop for their wedding,.... They missed his best friend's traditional wedding.


They chatted long on the phone before he ended the call,.......



******The family agreed to have a Thanksgiving service In their neighborhood, the Parish priest was Happy to hear that,..... They planned ahead for the Thanksgiving after which, they will all travel to the village before they would follow their grandma to Lagos to see her place and also visit their Grand Father's companies and her orphanage home,..........


ONE WEEK LATER

Mrs Johnson's world has crumbled, all her associates have abandoned her,..... She thought about her life seriously and decided to attend Sunday service to see if God will forgive her and help her out with her conditions..... She kicked against going to the church in her vicinity since the parish priest knows her evil doings,.. She decided to attend another church,.......


She arrived the church early and sat at the front row,.... She was so dedicated to the service,.... She was having a good time in the church as she covered her hair and parts of her face with veil,... She wore sunglasses to hide her face from the congregations since she was a public figure,.........
She was enjoying herself until it was time for Thanksgiving,...... She saw her family carrying different kinds of food items in their hands dancing to the beatings of the church band... She was perplexed

She saw her husband dancing with Vanessa and her babies,.... She saw her mother inlaw smiling and waving at the congregations,...... Then she saw Richard dancing with a pregnant lady,.... She removed her glasses to be sure of the face she was seeing,....

"Johnson?,......mama?,..Vanessa? .......Angela? ....... "she muttered to herself


Angela danced past her, she wiped her eyes,...... There were tears in them,........she opened her mouth in shock for minutes staring at them,... She wondered how they all managed to reunite again,....... Tears dropped from her eyes,..... She meant to sit down but her legs were checking,...... She sat down covering her face,.....


After service,...... Mr Johnson and his family left to attend to their guests at home,... Mrs Johnson waited for everyone to leave before going home,..... When she was sure that no one would recognize her,... She decided to leave, she meant to stand but she couldn't, she tried again then she collapsed holding her chest,...........
