MABEL.

'come again please...' i eyed the both of them.

Nathan reached for Claire's hand 'she's my girlfriend mum...'

I stared at both of them. I was confused. Claire wasnt my daughter? Nathan was my son? Why didnt i remember my son? If he truly was my son then they've got to be some memories.

'Nathan?' i called.

'yes mum' he answered.

'what happened? I mean, what led to my accident?'

'i...' he looked at Claire as if asking for permission to continue 'you were involved in an accident'

'what type of accident?'

'uhm...' he looked at Claire again.

'Claire?' i called 'do you mind excusing us for a minute please? Nathan and i need to have a chat'

'i dont mind...' she pecked my cheeks and left the ward.

I stared at Nathan, then i tapped the space close to me 'sit'

He bit his lower lip nervously before sitting.

'what kind of a mother was i to you?'

'huh?'

'i just want to know. Was i a good mother or a bad mother?'

'mum?'

'i want a sincere answer please. I read your diary and if all you wrote in it is true then i was never a good mother'

'mum, you were a good mother...i was the one who was never a good son'

I inhaled deeply 'tell me about our relationship. What kind of a relationship did we have as mother and son? A good one or...'

He sighed 'a bad one'

'how was your childhood? Was i there for you or not?'

He shook his head.

'i'll really appreciate if you'll speak with your mouth...' i said.

'you were never there for me'

'do you smoke?'

'i did'

'you did?'

'i've stopped'

'what made you stop?'

'Kainene....i mean Claire'

'at what age did you start smoking?'

'at the age of 14'

'where was i at that time?'

He sighed exasperatedly 'seriously mum, there's no use for this...'

'where was i at that time?'

'you...'

'i was a prostitute?'

'mum!'

'your diary said it all. I was a prostitute. I brought so many men home and sent you out in order to have swell time with them. You were bitten with several mosquitoes and you were always down with malaria. You made friends with bad friends in the neighbourhood and you started smoking. You had your first sex at age 15 and you made up your mind to treat me the same way i've been treating you when you were 17. That was when i quit prostitution and got married to a white man named Madenno, an old widower. And when he died, he willed everything he had to me. His company was Madenno corporations but i changed to Imore corporations...' My head started banging again and i started having painful flashes.

'mum? Are you alright?'

I nodded my head.

He reached for my hand 'you might have never been the best mum in the world but you were a good one to me'

I looked at him 'is there a chance for us? A chance to mend our relationship?'

He nodded 'of course'

'i might not really remember you very well but i know that you're my son...' i cupped his cheeks with my hand 'whatever misunderstanding we had in the past, let it be in the past. I believe that when i finally recover my memories, i...we can start anew. You, me and your girlfriend...'

He looked down 'i'm afraid you might not like Nene when you finally recover your memories...you both do not have...'

'she's a nice girl. I must have misunderstood her before. Meanwhile, a girl and her mother came to the house, they were both claiming you impregnated...'

'Jolade?'

'yes. I think thats her name'

He smiled 'so you dont remember Jolade? The precious woman whom you think was best for me?'

'really? But i dont like the girl'

He chuckled.

I spread my arms apart 'a hug'

We hugged.
