CHAPTER 9


On a bright and sunny Wednesday, an agent had called her to come check out a shop to know if she would want it or want him to look further. After a lot of going around to see if the place was suitable for her wares, she called Gladys on phone to seek her opinion before discussing the amount with Fred since she's more experienced in such area. Gladys supermarket was around the same lane with her new found shop, just about 20minutes drive. The shop which had a lower and upper floor was a big one which is by the roadside.

"this is awesome dear" Gladys said on arrival. She climbed the stairs to see how spacious it was on the upper floor. She rushed down the stairs like someone who is been chased just to hug and whisper to Amanda that the shop was much more better than the ones they have both checked out showed. Amanda felt relieved, she loved the area at which the shop is located, it would enhance sales, she had thought. She was to pay a sum of #1.5million, advance payment of two years and subsequently, she would pay #600,000 every year.

The sun was scorching, Amanda felt thirsty like she is being dehydrated so she decided to visit Gladys shop before going home, she would at least grab a cold drink there she thought. Gladys went in her car while she went in hers.

"have you informed Fred about the shop" Gladys said she handed her a chilled cup of Strawberry hollandia yogurt.

"I planned to do that once I'm settled and I think now is the time" Amy said.

She put a call across to Fred and informed him of the shop the agent had gotten for her and the amount to be paid. She told him they would continue the discussion at home before she hung the call. She remembered how Gladys had helped in negotiating the price of the shop, what would she have done without Gladys help, she murmured to herself as she saw her friend gave instructions to her workers.



*******

"welcome to my home" he said as he unlocked the door of the car. Her jaw dropped as she behold the fencing of the house, the hedges that surrounded the house were neatly trimmed, the cream coating of the paint shone as the sun beat down on it. She stood in amazement, Tom held her hand and they both walked into the house, the maids greeted them both, one of them brought a cup of cold juice for the duo. Tom knew his mother would be home so he excused himself and went upstairs to beckon on his mom.

An elegant elderly woman who should be in her late sixties came down the stairs, her gait was neither slow nor fast, one could easily say she was still agile, despite her age her fair complexion still radiated, without much talk Tom was her replica. As an igbo lady that grew up in the southwest, she went on my knees to greet her soon to be mother-in-law. Her smile was heavenly, she looked charming and she welcomed her warmly. Tom was pleased knowing fully well Amanda was his mom's taste.

"how are you my daughter" she pulled her up and gave her a hug. "have a seat my dear"

Amanda took her seat beside Tom. Mrs. Eze asked her several questions, questions pertaining to her family background and some other questions that made Amanda fully introduced herself to the smiling elderly woman. Dinner was served and they all ate at the dining table in silence.

"i'ld like to see you in my room later tonight" she said to his son as she went upstairs to her "enjoy yourself my daughter" she smiled at her.

CHAPTER 10

Amanda pulled over at the parking lot and went into her shop. She looked so distressed,She was upset and her workers could sense it. Her kids gave her a shocker on their way from school.

She had gone to pick them from school to spend the 3 weeks 2nd term holiday with her at home.

"don't take us home" Agnes said

Amy smiled at her daughter as she ignited the car "hmmm so where do you want to go?" she looked behind her seat so that you could look at her daughter's face.

"Grandma's house" she blurted with a frown

"Bennett" she turned to face her son who sat silently at the front, beside her. The boy gave her a frown and smiled at his sister before replying his mother

"yes mom we are staying with granny this holiday" Little Bennett told her.

Amanda gave birth to Agnes a year after her wedding, 11years ago to be precise. An intelligent girl in Junior secondary school 2, the best in her class, she received several prizes in primary school until she was ten years old. Her parents issue affected her drastically. After so many investigations, the school counselor found out that her poor performance was due to what she was experiencing at home, her parents were invited to the school several times by the school authority, this made them both resolved into taking her to a boarding school together with Bennett, her younger brother who was given birth to 4years after her so he was 7years. Boarding school became a pleasurable place for them than home. Agnes always preferred going to her granny's than staying home to witness and see her mother being turned to punching back in her presence by her dad.

Amanda looked perplexed, and prayed deep within her that her guess should be wrong "I will drive you there but will you both tell me why you don't want to come home? At least to see your dad who misses you everyday"

The kids hated coming home from school ever since they found comfort at the boarding house but how would she tell them everything had returned to normal in their home. Amanda had always found Agnes In her room crying each time she saw them fighting and quarreling, she hated it.

"if we go home with you, we will witness another fight, and we both are happy without seeing you both for now right?" she tapped Bennett on the shoulder and he smiled. Amanda was speechless, her home was breaking, she could feel the salty taste of her tears. The rest of the drive was in silence. She drove them to their Granny's house, Fred's parents.


*****

The drive back to lagos was fantastic, Tom's love for her appreciated. Her stay at his parents' place during the weekend was interesting. Gladys was already waiting at the door to welcome the duo, Tom didn't bother staying after dropping Amy off because he was exhausted and needed to get ready for work the following day.

Gladys inquisitive stare made Amy uncomfortable, she gave Gladys the excuse of going to rest because of work the next day because she was not ready give her any gist concerning how are trip was.
