HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 51 – THE END

CHAPTET 57

Diana sat by the window, another day has ended and darkness has taken over the daylight view by the window

The door opened and her mom walked in just returning from her shop

“Omo… You are still sitting here” she dropped her bags and moved closer to her

“Ma, welcome ma” she tried to adjust herself

“Have you even left that spot today”

“Barely” she admitted “there wasn’t so much to do around here

” Hmmmn, You said you were going to come to the shop today… Why didn’t you?”

“I didn’t realize time had gone… The day runs by so quickly”

“Not so quickly Didi, if you had only gotten out of bed maybe you will realize there’s alot to do out there. You know you can’t hide her forever… Besides I could really use the help”

“Tomorrow perhaps… Don’t worry I will come”

“Am not hearing that again, once am leaving tomorrow you are coming with me”

“Okay….so how was sales today?”

“We give thanks to God. You know I was thinking…. what if we go to them together”

“To who…..?”

“The Benson’s”

“Huh huh… No way ma, that’d be a complete waste of time.”

“Am just saying we should try and come to an agreement”

“There’s no point mommy, those people are just going to take advantage of that”

“What do we have to lose”

“Our integrity ma, they took everything away from us we can’t let them have this too”

“Diana, You have been Abby’s mother since she was an infant. You watched her grow, You love her unconditionally… I don’t see you living without her, I don’t think she can live without you either.. Even I can’t…
How long do you want to sit by the window.. From sunrise to sunset”

“Mama you don’t understand this people they don’t care, they won’t compromise”

“They won’t compromise or you won’t compromise… ”

“I am not the one with a problem here. they took Abby away from me just because they can and shoved me aside”

“Did he really say you cannot see her or be with her”

“He didn’t have to say it, he is trying to string me to an ultimatum and I won’t settle for that. Abby is mine, my flesh and blood, my daughter”

“I don’t dispute that but What is wrong with sharing a child with her father”

“He doesn’t deserve such privileges ma”

“You are not the one to decide that, he is still her father…. If Dorcas had been here she would have wanted the same”

“Well thank God… Am not Dorcas…….. I am not so naive, I want what is best for Abby and that man isn’t it, he is a poisonous egotistical selfish maniac, all he ever cares about is himself.. I need time but I promise to bring my baby back home… Your granddaughter… We dont have to beg anyone to have what is always ours”

“Diana… It’s OK, I get it you are not naive and that’s why it’s understandable that you feel something for him”

“What…. No!… Feelings for who Jimi Benson. Of course not”
She jumped up and get paced round the house
“where did that come from mom”

“Omotere…. You are allowed to feel something, you are only human your heart has been designed to love and when you fall in love you cannot control whom your heart wants. The heart wants what it wants even if its the same man who integrated the tragedy we experienced in this family”

“And nearly succeed in destroying us and ruin our entire lineage” she almost choked at her words

“You can’t blame him for the de.aths we suffered in this family, he had no hand in that. Nature took it’s course”

“May I remind you that Dc died because she was fooled by him and losing Dorcas made dad hypertensive before we eventually lost him too…. Oh ma, for all tragic loss in this house I see Jimi Benson at the center of it all.”

“Like it or not, he’s not responsible for any of that, the situation just happened to make things even more unfortunate… We could have lost them anyways. And your father died naturally, he slept and didn’t wake up the next morning. Jimi didn’t cause that…. Over the years if there’s anything I have learnt is that the mind heals better when you forgive.. The sorrow you hold back is emotionally draining you. You need to forgive and let go… For a better life…”
She pulled Diana to sit and held her hands in hers

“We lost our loved ones, we buried them so young and we heal at a slower pace because we do not let go.

It took me so long to finally let go and now you have to do the same

You are still very young and beautiful. Smart and brave, confident, independent and driven.

You have a lot ahead of you,
my dearest, don’t let the past tear you apart.

Fate has a very way of playing out, if the man who is the biological father of Abigail turns out to be your one true love. It is evident that he is going to be a part of our lives one way or the other”

Diana rolled her eyes with her hand rubbing her forehead.
This is definitely not how she expected this to turnout
