EPISODE 3
I looked at my wristwatch, 2 o'clock on the dot. I went straight to my room, changed into a plain jean and a red polo with my All star shoe, then I complete it with a nice red face cap. I dashed out from the room and banged the door. Mum had also changed into a lovely brown gown, she was looking more younger, one could mistake her for a young lady. Mum I want to see Jason, I said to her. Okay, let me drop you off I'm on my way to the market. She said as she brought out her car key from the handbag. We got the car and zoomed off. I was nodding to the cool kiss daniel's music Yeba, it was the best music that soot my mood at that moment. I keep singing and nodding to every rhyme of the music. In fact it was doing wonders in my body, most especially the beat. After some minutes, I noticed the volume started reducing, I didn't pay much attention until the volume was totally reduced to almost zero. Though I could still hear the echoes of it.
Me: you just killed my vibes, mum. I said to her with a displeasing voice.
Mum: David, I want to ask you a question. At the mention of that, I look at her confusingly. I deeply know within myself that her question wont come without leaving a strong hole in my body.
Me: mum, what's that, I tried not to show my nervousness.
Mum: don't worry it's not something heavy. she said with a smile on her face. I hope so, I murmured in my mind.
Me: eehmm! Okay I'm listening. I uttered with my heart beating heavily. This has always been my usual routine whenever someone wants to ask me a question, most especially if the question is coming from the opposite sex. I need to find a way to curb this damageable plight.
Mum: do you have any girl you are going out with? I mean someone that is close to your heart, as in more like a girlfriend. She emphasized more on the word "girlfriend". Her question throws me off balance, I went dumb for seconds. My heart beat had doubled in 20folds by then, I didn't know what to reply her. Her question hit me like an ISIS bomb. I'm sure she felt it.
Me: eehm! Mum, why the question? I uttered.
Mum: it's rude to answer question with question, she said.
Me: I don't have a girlfriend, I said with so much confidence. She looked at me with the face of are you serious. I didn't bother to return her gaze, all what was going through my head was for her to just drop this topic already.
Mum: you are too shy to talk to girls? She asked me again with a smile registered on her face. I didn't know the reply to give her. I kept mute for seconds.
Mum: common dear, I know you are getting irritated with my questions. Look, I'm not saying you should start frolicking with girls. What I'm trying to say is that you should feel free to mingle with them, have fun and share a good time together with them, explore outside your boundary and learn things about women. Do you even have female friends in your school? She blew another question.
Me: mum can we just drop this topic already? I uttered with a disgusting look on my face. She knew I was no longer interested in whatever she wants to say anymore, Hoping she will quit stressing the conversation.
Mum: my dear, I have noticed that you don't friends with the opposite sex, I have never seen you with or talking to a girl before. You are a man enough, don't allow the shadow of your introvert nature to control you. It will make you manly. We women don't like men who are not bold and courageous to take the lead. She was still talking when I cuts in
Me: mum, for Christ's sake I'm not an introvert, why would I be shy with ladies? She looked at me and laugh.
Mum: my dear, I'm your mother, so I can easily read your mind and whatever that's bothering you. You think you can hide that from me?
Mum: you are totally wrong, you think you can read my mind? I paused for a while. Okay tell me what I'm thinking right now, I said with my gaze on her. She looked at me and burst into laughter.
Mum: I know you want to ask me for money now, we both burst into laughter in a rhythmic tone. She's just too funny.
Me: you are right I don't socialize with girls not because I'm shy or something. I'm just too occupy for all that for now. Remember this is my final year so I have got to speed up my brain to attain good result and make you proud. My words hit her like a sharpened dagar. I'm sure she saw some senses in my words.
Mum: that's my prince.. And sorry if I got you annoyed with my. . . I cuts in before she could finish her sentence.
Me: it's okay, I can relate.
