SPEECHLESSNESS
EPISODE 10
George stared at his parents in confusion, his mum was in his dad’s arms smiling at him, he doesn’t understand what was going on, this was a woman that was crying her heart out few hours ago, he watched his dad smooched her shoulders,
“Sweetie, I told you nothing will happen to him” he said pecking her
His mum nodded.
“Son, thank God you’re awake, the doctor said you’re going home with us, but what I dont understand is what must have triggered your fainting,” his dad said
George was in short of words, he looked at his mum and the pains he once saw on her face were all gone, she was all smiles holding unto her husband, he was more confused.
”Sweetheart, do you have any idea what happened to him since you were the only one with him at home when he passed out? ” his dad asked turning to his mum
“Baby, I was shocked to meet him lying helplessly on the floor” his mum replied
George ‘s eyes nearly popped out at his mum’s lie.
“Mum?” he muttered
“Yes son,”
“Are you OK?” he asked her quietly
“Sure, I should be asking if you’re ok, you ‘re the one lying on a sick bed” his mum teased him
He wasn’t buying the pretense,
“What is going on? Is mum doing this to save her marriage? Whatever it is, I must find out, but I think I should play along with her” he thought to himself.

“Sure, I’m always hear for you”
“Have you ever fallen in love?”
She smiled inwardly and thanked God for an answered prayer, she has waited for this moment a long time ago, she has nurtured their friendship, hoping that one day, he will tell her how much he loves her.
“Heellllooooo” he snapped at her
“Sorry dear, yeah I have”
“Interesting, so tell me who’s the lucky guy?”
She smiled sheepishly
“Forget it, my problem is that I’m in love with someone, but I don’t t know how to confess it to her”
“There’s no need hiding your feelings, tell her how you feel before you loose her to another guy”
“That’s why I need your help,”
“Huh” she asked with a surprise look.
“Yeah, I’m in love with Thelma, your sister but I’m scared she might reject my love, I want you to help me talk to her”
“What!!!!!, what did you just say, inlove with who?” she asked with drop of tears falling from her eyes
“I’ve loved her since the first day I met both of you, but she doesn’t give me attention like you do, I’ve tried getting close to her but she’s not letting me in, please I need your help, do you promise to help me?”
“I cant believe this” she said amidst tears
“Why are you shedding tears? did I say anything wrong to you? I told you this because you’re the only true friend I have”
“Errrm, errrrm, George I think I have to get going, I just remembered I need to run some errands for my mum, I ’m almost late, I ’ll call you later” she said rushing out of the sitting room.
George was surprised at her sudden departure, but he was happy that he finally followed his heart, he prays she helps him talk to Thelma.
