EPISODE 23
âWhatâs up with the look on your face?â Prudence questioned Purity. âDid something go wrong? Anything that had to do with Jeremy?â
Purity smiled on hearing Jeremyâs name. âNo, mama. Just that a mean-looking lady created an ugly scene at the companyâs premises as I was about leaving. I donât know why she did that.â
Prudence heaved a sigh of relief. âHope she isnât dangerous? Iâm worried about you.â
Purity disagreed. âI donât think so, she looked like a nervous wreck. Do not be worried. Iâm fine.â
âAlright dear, come here.â Prudence wanted a hug from her daughter. To her surprise, Purity jumped into her arms. Holding Purity so close and at her will ignited memories of her childhood. Purity was her favourite girl. They were so close and did so many things together. But as she grew into a teenager, things changed. Due to her fears and insecurity, she began viewing both her parents as enemies instead of allies and they drifted apart. Prudence had tried to mend the rift between them; Purity never gave her that chance. She hadnât given up on her daughter. âAre you alright?â Prudence questioned, Purity was still in her arms.
Purity laughed softly. âMama. Iâm good. I know youâre wondering why.â
Prudence let her daughter go and gazed at her silver eyes. âI want to know why.â
âMama, Iâm so happy.â Purity jumped up excitedly like a ten year old. âThough that bitch nearly spoilt it. But Iâm good.â She gave a broad grin, clasped her hands together and twirled once.
Prudence rubbed her eyes with both palms and opened them again. Did Purity just spin around with happiness? Was her daughter okay? âIts okay, honey. Um, come sit.â She took Purity by the hand and they both sat on a two-seater sofa. Prudence held Purityâs arm. âTell me, why are you so happy?â
Purity giggled. âMama. Jeremy and his papa made me feel so special last night.â
Prudence was so happy to hear that. âReally? Tell me about it.â
âUm,â Purity raised her head and rolled her eyes, trying to recall the previous nightâs events. âWell, he bought me a new cell phone. The latest. I really didnât expect it. But I was glad he did. Secondly, he took me to a restaurant and we had a great meal, I was a little bit shy but it all went well.â Purity was talking slowly, choosing her words. At times, she looked away from her manâs gaze. She had never done this before. âWe kind of fought over a minor thing, but made up later on. He took me to his wonderful home, it was so so beautiful and cozy. His papa and I had a little chat. He thinks Iâm kind of exceptional from all other women and will be the best for Jeremy. Jeremy couldnât believe Iâm still a virgin. I havenât really felt this happy in a long long time.â
Prudence was full of smiles. âI am so glad I lived to see this moment. My daughter, youâre a good and special girl. You just fail to notice it âcause youâre always alone, indoors and commanding people to do this or that. Spending time out with others will make you catch lots of fun.â
Purity nodded in agreement. âI know that now. I will try my best.â
âGood. Do you like Jeremy?â
Purityâs cheek turned pink. âIsnât that a personal thing?â
âNot with me.â
âOkay. Kind of. I donât know. Maybe.â
It was Prudenceâs turn to laugh. She laughed hysterically. Seconds passed, then she gradually ended the laughter. âI know you like him. You will eventually love him if not now.â
âLove? Whoâs talking about love? Its only âlikeâ. Love doesnât mean like, neither does like mean love.â Her feelings instantly changed. Hurt could be sensed in her words.
âIâve always known you to be this frightened or scared when it comes to love. What is wrong?â
She didnât want to ruin her day. âLets forget about that. I left the office just to spend time with you. Anything could happen tomorrow or nest. I wanna be a good woman, just Jeremy is a good man.â She fell on her mumâs shoulder and beamed.
âI hope this lasts. Lets go make lunch.â Prudence stood up.
âOkay. Youâll tell me about Emily. I really want to know lots about her,â Purity replied, standing up.
Prudence was bewildered. âOkay.â

Tricia sat all alone in the dark. Her hair was a mess, she looked as if sheâd lost a beloved in death. Little rays of lights coming in from the window revealed littered bottles on the ground. Sheâd been drinking. Drinking ever since she got back from Jeremyâs place of work. Why would a man make her go so crazy? Sheâd loved him since she set eyes on him. Been a good friend to him. The relationship hadnât been so nice, but they never discussed it. Now, he wants to get married. Not to her, to a pure, virgin. Jeremy was attracted to virgins? She wasnât but her slept with her. And every touch from him made her fall more and more in love with him. Jeremy was hers. She wailed bitterly. She placed her hands on her lips. âJeremy is mine,â she muttered in between sobs. âIts over, will never share him again. He is mine.â
