ONE MONTH LATER<<
We were in our sitting room with grandma and aunty Dora present, that Sunday after church service, grandma came in on Saturday when aunty Veronica travelled to Lagos but aunty Dora came in few minutes after we return from church

The house was filled up, i didnā€™t want to go out as Mary told me that sheā€™s coming with her mum

We heard the door bell, everyone turn to the door, i new who are behind the door
Esthy came and open the door scream and hugged Mary, when they settled down, Esthy offer them wine, while they were drink Maryā€™s mother spoke

Mrs Paul: Mary! Thereā€™s someone here to see you

My mum stared at her with a little smile hovering around her lips, i just relax as Mary told me everything last night

Mum: whoā€™s that? And where is she or he?
She asked without a clue of who the person is, mrs Paul smiled and type something in her phone in the next 1minute the door open to reveal a man in his fifties, everyone gasped except Esther who kept staring from the man to me, i stare at him my body went numb

MRS JOHNSON POV<<
i nearly jumped out of my skin seeing Patrick standing right in the door way of the sitting room looking pale and sick, he couldnā€™t move or speak seeing people he didnā€™t expect to see

i look from him to my friend Mrs paul, she cleared her throat to ease the tension a bit

Mrs Paul: Patrick please come in
He slowly walked in with a girl about fourteen years trailed behind him bowing to greet everyone, i kept my gaze steady on them till the lower their frame on the couch
i should have jumped up yelled at him and send him out but how i saw him remind me of our old times together
i didnā€™t know when tear drip down my cheek

Dorothy: Brother!

That was when he realized that his sister was present, he looked at her and burst into tears before going on his knee
