Niniola:Awwwwn, am blushing, thanks love (Bunmi served

Niniola while she was serving her Niniola gave her some sign to ask Jamal’s mom if she will need more soup)

Bunmi:Do you need more soup ma?

Jamal’s mom: Of course I do(As Bunmi was serving her Niniola gave her another sign to dropped her food down, Bunmi did exactly as Niniola said, this time around a little bit of the food poured on Jamal’s mom dress, everyone was shocked and they were all ready to watch what will happen)

Bunmi:Am sorry ma, I never mean to do that ma, I am really sorry ma ,please ma

Jamal’s mom:Bunmi?

Bunmi:Ma(Faking some fearful face)

Jamal’s mom: It’s ok(Everyone was shocked)It’s ok am fine just follow me to help me with the dress, It’s s mistake ok, don’t worry about that (She left the dinning while Bunmi followed her everyone was speechless and shock at the same time)Jamal and Niniola was alone at the dinning, Niniola was serving him his food, she was the one who cooked the food for him, she had prepared him a vegetable soup which was nourished by some crayfish, kpomo,and some assorted beefs, she prepared him some yam flour to break it all down, Jamal was just busy staring at her, he said

Jamal:You are leaving next week?

Niniola:Of course yes, hope no problem?

Jamal:Not at all, I just want to appreciate you for everything, I am really greatful, you have really done a lot of things in my life, atleast some things that I have been longing for you make it easier for me, But all these caring and love I don’t think it is necessary again

Niniola:What do you mean?

Jamal: The person you are trying to show it off to is not ready to change, She is not ready to turn a new leaf(Jamal’s mom was coming out,she was going to an outing but the moment she heard Jamal speaking she stopped to listen to his conversation with Niniola)Even though you showed me all these love Niniola, even though my dad really took a lot of care for me, even though he sacrificed everything for me, Niniola even though you changed a lot of things in me and you gave me what I had requested from you, There is still one thing that I need, there is that thing that can make me feel a lot better but I was unable to have it, My mother’s love,(Tears dropped down on his face, while Jamal’s mom was shocked) I want her love and I want her caring, i… Is that too much to give to me?

Niniola: Jamal

Jamal:No, I just want to know, am I asking for too much?

Just my mother’s love, I did everything Niniola, I gave her everything she need, hoping that she will have a change of mind one day and turn a new leaf, but all was in vain, I was never her first priority,(Tears dropping down on Jamal’s mom face) Even if she turns a new leaf today, I don’t think I will ever forgive her

Niniola: Jamal please stop saying that

Jamal: Niniola I have waited a lot for her, I have… (His mom came out crying, he said)It’s really good that you are here, Actually I don’t know why you brought me to this world, since you knew that you can take care of me, why do you brought me to this world, the only one that stood for me, that took care of me left this world just because of you, The day he died you were not in the country, you went for a trip right? That man died in my two hands,he left this world because of depression, too much of thinking, that is exactly how the doctor confirmed it, sometimes I will caught my dad holding your pictures crying bitterly just for you to turn a new leaf and be a good wife to him, that man craved for your love Mum, He waited for you till he died, I was told that the moment I clocked a year old that was when you had dropped me for my dad and those who took care of me, just tell me what do I know then, I got sick when I was young, I cried for my mom, but my dad will be the one to do everything for me, but when that man left this world, I was alone and I was shattered, all alone I had to stood up on my feet again, Mom I want you so badly to support me then,but you never for once think about how I feel,you never care about me,but why,why Mom?
