'Mother, can I talk to you in private?', Tissan asked her later in the day.
'I'm here. spite it out'
'Not in the living room. Let's go to your room'
'Okay', she said and the two walked up to her room. She sat down on the bed and he followed suit.
'I am all ears'
'Mother, please. Can't you try at least to be friends with Shayet?'
'Never'
'Why'
'She is trying to take you away from me'
'I am not a piece of luggage. Or mother, don't you want me to get married and have my own child? I am already thirty'
'Not with her. You are too good for her'
'I love her'
'Maybe she charmed you'
'You are educated. I don't expect this from you'
'What about your health? Why are you engaging in sexual activities?'
'She is my wife and we can't stay married without s.x. I can't stand not touching her mum. Please, I don't want to have to choose between my mum and wife'
'She slept with Richard...'
'I have forgiven her, as for Richard, I want nothing to do with him'
'How can you forgive a stranger and keep malice with a friend you had for over twenty years'
'He was the first person I told about Shayet. He knew what I felt for her but he went ahead to sleep with her. Friendship has a code, he broke the number one rule and I will never forgive or forget'
'So now you let her go scot free?'
'I love her, I will do anything for her. Mother, I need to ask you a favour'
'What?'
'I need you to stop entering my room without knocking. Knock, wait for a reply before coming in. Can you do that for me?'
'Yes. I can'
He hugged and left. She smiled and laughed. Johnson returned two days later with news. He was able to book and appointment with a medical expert who would take a look at Tissan's problem. He made the announcement during dinner. Tissan smiled at Shayet.
'I am happy for you', Shayet said.
'Thanks, tomorrow, we shall start making preparations for your papers and visa. I want you to come with me'
'Are you sure?'
'Tissan?'
'Father'
'I don't think she can come with us. There isn't time . You are expected in California within the week. Getting her visas will take time. I think you should leave her here with your mother. We will only be gone for a couple of weeks'
'Tissan, listen to your father. I will help you pack', Shyet quietly put in.
'When are we leaving?'
'Next tomorrow. We might be gone for three weeks. Get ready, we leave for Abuja tomorrow evening, so as to catch the first flight to America'
After dinner, the two couples went up to their various rooms. Shayet was quiet. She didn't know how to react to this new development.
'I don't know what to expect Shayet'
'Just stay strong, everything will be fine'
'Three weeks without you'
'I need to ask you a favour'
'What?'
'May I go home and stay with my mum until you come back?'
'No, you may not'


CHAPTER 5

'Why not?'
'What do you want people to say? That you and my mother can't stand each other?'
'Well, its the truth. Your mother hates me. She believes I am not good for you'
'My mother is just being over protective'
'You are no longer a baby for crying out loud. You are an adult'
'To her I am still a baby'
'I seriously don't trust myself with her'
'Shayet, I think this is the perfect opportunity for you to know her and make her your friend'
'Okay, can I go stay at the hotel? Your suit would be empty you know. I might get bored here someday'
'Let me think about it. You know we shouldn't fight. Let's make love instead. I will be gone for a few weeks'
'I am not fighting with you. Your mother...'
'You are putting on too many clothes. Let me help you out of them', he said and pulled her to his arms.
The next day, She woke him up by seven with kisses all over his face. They made love, again and again, as slowly as they could, then fell into an exhausted sleep. No one woke them up nor disturbed them. By noon, Tissan shook his wife awake.
'You promised to help me pack'
'I am so hungry now I can eat you raw'
'Up with you my love. Take a bath while I sent some one up with our food'
She quickly bath and came out to find her husband seated on the rug and waiting for her with food in his front. With a robe covering her unclothed body, she Sat facing him and they ate. When they were through, they began packing a suitcase. They were done in an hour. By two, Tissan was fully dressed except for his shirt which he hung. He laid on the bed, and Shayet lay her head on his chest.
'I will miss you',she said softly.
'I will miss you much more'
'so can I spend sometime at the hotel when I get bored here?'
'Yes. The key to my suit is on the dressing table. Mummy J will take very good care of you'
'You seem fond of her'
'Yeah, she has been working for us for like forever. She is like a second mother to me'
'Okay'
A knock came at their door. Thinking it was a maid who has come to pack the dishes, Tissan bid the person to enter. The door opened and his mother entered.
'Good afternoon ma, Shayet said, standing up'
'Afternoon Shayet. Tissan, its five minutes to three. Your father is waiting downstairs'
'I will be down shortly'
She turned and quietly left the room. Shayet wore a loose fitted green dress while Tissan watched her.
'Come to bed'
'You will be late', she said but came anyway. He kissed her and then smiled sadly.
'I don't know what to expect in the states but here, take this ATM card. You will need it when I am gone'
'Thank you'
'Don't thank me, you are my wife, I should provide for your every need. But I need you to do two favours for me'
'What?'
Can you get close to my mother?'
'No'
'Please, you two I love. I can't stand the tension anymore'
'Okay. I will try' he kissed her again and thanked her.
'Secondly, I kept some money in the drawer, can you help me give it to your mum?'
'You are still avoiding her?'
'I horsewhipped her daughter. Am I forgiven?'
'No', He kissed her on the lips and went on his feet. ' take care of you for me will you?'
'I will try my best'
He picked his suitcase and went out, with her following. Once downstairs Shayet greeted his father.
'How are you Shayet?'
'I'm fine sir, thank you' A maid retrieved Tissan's suitcase and put it at the boot of the jeep. Shayet watched him walked to his mum and embraced her.
'Mum, please take care of her for me. She is actually a very good lady, all you need do is give her a chance', Tissan whispered in her ears.
'Okay, bye son'
'Good bye mother. I permitted Shayet to spend some time at the hotel when she gets bored here'
He walked away to the car but returned to Shayet and hugged her. She held tightly unto him for two full minutes.
'Don't worry love, I will be back before you even know it' he said and she released him. He walked back to the car and waved at her. She waved back and walked quietly up the stairs.
