Season 2. Episode 18.
The next day Hope was woken up by Anastasia,
“Good morning mom, Hope greeted.
“Keep it, you are going back to your dad place today, Anastasia replied.
“But why? Hope asked.
“Don’t ask me that, I can’t keep a disrespectful child in my house, go back to your father, Anastasia replied.
“And what about my mother? Hope asked.
“She’s dead! Anastasia shouted and went to the door.
“You know the address, don’t let me come back to see you here, Anastasia added jamming the door behind her and Hope heaved cleaning her face.
“But why are you sending her away? Faith asked her mom as they settled down in the dinning to eat.
“I don’t want her to be here, soon she’ll start insulting you both and making trouble, Anastasia replied.
“Is that an excuse? Common mom what if she tells dad how we treat her? Favour asked.
“And what do I care? This is my house and I choose who stays with me, after all I am with 4 children already he should take care of her, Anastasia replied.
“Alright fine, Faith said and Hope slowly came out.
“Don’t worry princess, you can have your breakfast. Take your time and eat and leave, you’ll be more comfortable over there, Anastasia said to her and took her bag while Hope leaned on the wall looking at them.
“See you girls, she said.
“Bye mom, they said and Anastasia left.
Hope was still quiet looking at them and the girls were kind of scared with the look in Hope eyes,
“I think we have to go now, Faith said getting up from the dinning and Favour followed.
“Just close the door when you’ll be leaving, Faith said and left with her sister.
Hope sighed and sat down on the dinning with her hair scattered,
“Go back to aunty Dite, enough of all this, Hope whispered to herself, shook her head and got up to her room…….
Palesa was with her dad when the doctor came to check up on him,
“How is he doing? Palesa asked.
“He’s fine, don’t worry soon you’ll see him strong and healthy like before, the doctor replied.
“Wow, that’s good news, Julia said.
“Get him this tablets and he should start going out for little exercises, The doctor replied giving Julia a slip.
“I will, thank you, Julia said and he smiled and left.
“Okay sir I can help you with the exercise if you want, let’s start with you walking round the sitting room today, Jason said.
“Are you sure about that? I don’t think he’s strong for that, Julia said.
“No its fine honey, Jason thats a good idea thanks, Alfred weakly replied.
“You’re welcome sir, Jason said and left while Palesa was still cuddling her father.
“I’ll go see if your breakfast is ready, Julia said.
“Am not hungry, he replied.
“You don’t need to be hungry to eat, you need to eat for your drugs, Julia said.
“But what about the Exercise? Alfred asked..
“It can come after the meal so you’ll have a shower and relax, Julia replied.
“Don’t worry I’ll feed you dad, Palesa said smiling at him.
“That will be sweet darling, Alfred replied.
“I’ll be back, Julia said and left and Palesa phone began to ring.
“A minute please, Palesa said excusing herself from her dad.
“Hello best good morning, Palesa picked up.
“I am so happy to hear this voice like the palesa I used to know, Anastasia replied and She smiled.
“I’m okay best, Palesa said.
“Can we see today please? We need to talk, Anastasia said.
“I didn’t want to come today, Palesa replied.
“Honey is it because of that girl? Common I sent her out, I don’t want her to get you upset, Anastasia said.
“Alright no problem, am with my dad now, probably when he sleeps out I’ll be there, Palesa replied.
“Thats my baby, I’ll keep something sweet for you when you come, bye, Anastasia said and dropped the call.
“Your boyfriend? Alfred asked and Palesa laughed.
“Common dad no, she replied.
“But you excused yourself from me, maybe you didn’t want me to hear what you’ll be discussing, Alfred said.
“Common dad, its best nanny I was talking to, Palesa replied.
“Alright if you say so, so have you two reconciled? He asked.
“With who? She asked.
“Jason, your mom told me yesterday, He replied.
“Oh that, its nothing. It was just a disagreement, she said.
“Honey you know you are too small for this, there’s still a whole lot you need to achieve, let love not be your number one priority now, Alfred replied.
“Dad I love him so much, am sorry, I don’t think i can do without Jason, Palesa replied and Alfred sat up.
“Are you serious? He asked.
“Yes dad, if its not Jason, there won’t be another man in my life, that’s how much I love him, she replied.
“But Palesa, what if he’s not meant for you? Alfred asked.
“Then he won’t be for another, dad please we are meant for each other and that will be. Jason will come around, Palesa replied and Julia walked in with a tray.
“Okay dad let’s eat, Palesa said helping her mom with the tray while Alfred sat quietly not believing his ears…….
Palesa quietly watched Jason helping her dad with the exercises.
sometimes Alfred will attempt to fall down and they will laugh at that.
“I think it’s okay dad, Palesa said holding him to sit down.
“God I feel alive now, Alfred said and Palesa gave him a glass of drink.
“I think all your organs and systems were energized, Palesa replied laughing.
“Yes, we will do it again this evening. Let’s stroll to your room sir, Jason said helping him up again and Palesa checked the time.
She didn’t want Jason to go with her to the restaurant, she quickly sneaked out before Jason came out.
Minutes later Jason came out from Alfred room after making him have a shower and he laid down to sleep.
“Have you seen Palesa? He asked the maid.
“No, I saw her last with you, she replied.
“Okay thanks, he said and dialed her number.
“Hello Jason, she picked up.
“Where are you? He asked.
“Sorry i thought i told you, i went over to Best place, she replied.
“You didn’t want to go with me right? He asked.
“Am sorry, Best just called to see me urgently so I left, I won’t stay long i promise, she replied.
“Is alright, he said and dropped the call.
“She went out already? Oh i remember seeing a car drove out, The maid said and he only nodded.
“Don’t worry, you can use one of the cars here, the maid said seeing the look on his face.
“But there are not mine, he replied.
“You’re a guest here, you can use anything you want. Just go to any car of your choice, the keys are outside the door, she said and he smiled.
“Thank you, he replied and ran upstairs to have a shower………….
Hope went to her room to get her bags packed but then she sat remembering all that Dite told her,
“This should be one of her stunt to test me, no am not going anywhere, she said and left the room to get things done in the house.
She settled down weakly to have her breakfast when she heard the door bell, she got up slowly thinking who it might be as she checked the time to see its past 10a.m.
“Who is it? She asked approaching the door.
“Hello its Jason, Palesa friend, she heard.
“Jason? Palesa? She whispered and wondered who they are as she opened the door and recognized him.
“Hello, Jason said.
“Hi, welcome. Looking for someone? Hope asked.
“She isn’t here? I mean the girl i was with yesterday, he said.
“No I didn’t see her, maybe she went to the restaurant, Hope replied.
“I think so, she actually said she’s at Best place and i thought is here, Jason said and she shook her head.
“So are you going over there or you’ll wait for her? Hope asked.
“I think I’ll wait here, so will you let me in? He asked and Hope slowly opened the door wide for him..
“Thank you, you didn’t go to work today? He asked going in.
“Ermmm yes, maybe tomorrow, she replied showing him a seat.
“Is it about the guy of yesterday? You don’t need to mind him, he’s a j.erk, Jason said.
“I already forgot about that, she replied and he saw she was about to eat.
“Please go attend to your food before it gets late for breakfast, he said and she nodded.
“I thought you’ll love to join? She asked
