Diana spent the next twenty four hours crying herself to sleep until she realized it wasn’t working then she packed her bags and head to Benin city
Mrs Ebenezer was busy stitching when Diana walked in and slumped into the nearest couch. Her mom was surprised to see her
“Omo… Ah ah, you didn’t even tell me you are coming, how was your trip…. Are you in town because of work… Where where’s Abby”
Diana bowed her head and placed her hand on her head as she sobs slowly
“Omo… Is everything okay… Why are you crying , talk to me what happened… Are you hurt, were you involved in an accident, Omotere am talking to you….. Can’t you hear me”
She sobs harder as her mom moved closer and shook her, dragging her hands from her face
“…. Why are you crying…. talk to me, you’re scaring me
Is something wrong, do you have issues at work, were you fired, what happened exactly and where is Abigail for God’s sake… Why won’t you just talk, am getting really worried say something already”
“Am…. So…. Siii.. So.. Sorrrrry “she blurted out in tears
“What are you sorry for”
“Everything ma, everything”
“Oh Didi what have you done child”
“Am such a disappointment, I let you down mama am sorry.. “She cries harder
“My sweet.. Sweet angel, You cant let mommy down, you are my rock and I trust you completely. Whatever happened am sure we can find our way around it so just tell me what happened”
“You know how you use to tell me that my stubbornness is going to get in the way and I’m not always going to have what I want”
“Hmmm huh” Mrs Ebenezer pressed her lips together unsure of what’s coming
“I went overboard mom, I thought.. I could just do it and get away with it but it caught up with me before I could even stop it… I have been such a big fool and I have create such a huge mess, I don’t know if you can ever forgive me”
“Diana, You are my daughter, You are my soul, everything I have now is because of you, You are a fighter and survivor without you I don’t think I could have made it this far. You are the bread winner of this family now, your father would be proud, and I can say the same for Ehi’ sometimes I wonder how my little girl grew up to be so strong and independent.
You have made yourself a reliable source at this age. Every time I look at you I bless God on your behalf, You are so special Omo and only God can truly reward you for your sacrifice”
“Don’t praise me so much mom….. I don’t deserve it”
“Hushh…. No matter what happens you will still be that amazing woman that I am so proud to call my own….. Now tell me what happened…. To my granddaughter”
“How did you..?”
“A mother knows Didi… When something is not feeling Right, she knows”
Diana sighs as she explains everything to her mother regretfully
HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END
Jimi sat beside Philip on the stairs, everything had changed in a few days he was grateful his friendship with Philip didn’t crumble
“So how does it feel to be a dad”
“The best feeling ever… You know when Abby told me she’d love to call me daddy, I just had this heart warming feeling that was so indescribable. I have always felt attached to her somehow but who would have known that she’s actually my daughter and am a father”
“Am so happy for you man, you went from being the grumble uncle next door to the daddy of the year” they chuckled.
“But this is a whole new experience for you, I hope you don’t find it too cumbersome”
“Not at all… overwhelming sometimes but nothing I can’t handle. It is my cross to carry and I intend to do with to my last breathe…. ” He sipped his wine
“So when did she leave?”
“Who….. Diana”
“Yeah”
“The next day… After she and Marty had an heated argument ”
“Oh gosh…. I came in between her and Marty too, honestly it was not my intention to ruin things for Diana. I can’t imagine how broken she must have felt”
he nods
” You can’t imagine… She was completely destabilized. ”
“I know, Abby is her everything”
“Exactly”
“I tried, I tried to reason with her but she’s too…..”
“STUBBORN ”they echoed together
“Marty is so mad at her, they had a rough goodbye… So bad Marty doesn’t even like to talk about it. I don’t even know how to go about the touchy subject”
“If only I could make things right… It was never my intention to hurt her”
“I know, but you know how she is”
“Yeah…. She blames me for everything, not that she’s wrong to do so… But if only she could just gimme another chance, a tiny chance to try and make things right”
“For now, I think she needs space and peace”
“Sure… I understand”
“Am glad you do”
“But do you know where she is at the moment”
“I think she went back home, though she didn’t exactly tell me but I insisted to drive her to the park and watch her board a bus to Benin”
“Good coz the lawyer that stood in for her at the meeting was Anita’s personal lawyer am just worried she went to Marcel for help”
“Seriously, Jimi you don’t have any right to be jealous right now but Didi has too much bothering her to be involved with anyone at the moment”
“You’re right
God… I hope she’s fine”
“I hope so too”
“But do you have any idea where exactly in Benin”
“No… That’s should be Marty but I thought we agree on giving her space”
“Yes….. Yes… You know I’m just asking because you know Abby might need to see her or the other way round”
“When we get to that bridge we’ll cross it. Just focus on being a great dad”
“Sure” he agrees
