*Love doesn't always win at times *
~•~
Everything went fine until a mother's envy and jealousy ruined a beautiful union.
It was a nice evening and aliz sat with Berlin in his arm, singing his songs to her while madria makes food.
Aliz mom came from time to time to check up on her son and his child
" she's too light we need to deem her color or she might end up being an albino " she said why staring at her grandchild
Aliz gased at his mom for a while " it not that bad she takes after her mother and I like it "
" you know you both are light skin and the baby might become an albino and this might affect the babies eye" she steered at the baby. " take a look her eyes are shaking already, she would have to be bathed with habiscous flowers "
"Alright " aliz agreed
From time to time aliz's mom would come check up on them and most of the time she would always see aliz taking care of the baby and being loving, she never got this kind of love from her husband and now seeing her son care for madria ignited a feeling in her, the feeling wasn't a comfortable one it felt like a storm choking her and it began to breed hate little by little.
She couldn't endure it anymore, normally lady chase after her son ,before this lady and he wasn't always this caring to them neither did he chase after them, he just used them and went on with his life so why is this cases different.
She started talking aliz out of this attitude she found stupid, everytime she came around she would talk her son out of his character, she would say
" Aliz what are you doing here caring for madria's child like a slave, you know it's not be to long she put to bed, she's probably still bleeding so what are you doing sitting around staring at their faces ?
Go out and meet other women, stop being a slave for this lady!"
Aliz would always ignore her this made her furious, but she kept telling him and pushing him to the dark tomb of no return, she would also pick fights with madria and abuse her, went as far as poisoning madria this was the dark days of pain and suffering.
A great space began to build between madria and aliz, finally one day aliz mom took him to her kitchen where she gave him something to eat why she spoke to him and from that day on aliz eye were masked by his mothers spell
He would do whatever he was told to do by his mom, he would always pick up fights with madria and hurt her .
Madria's life was finally thorn apart she began facing the ugly part of life she would always receive news of how her husband slept around and wasted money on women and liquor.
Madria would cry and sometimes try to give up on everything and today was one of those days, after a big dispute between her and her husband, she decided to leave .
She felt really alone as she sat at the veranda holding Berlin in her hand while tears rolled down her eyes, the baby in her hands began to cry too taking up it's tiny hands and placing them on her mothers eyes, wiping madria's tears in the process .
Pain stung at her heart seeing her child's action, she held her baby tightly as she tried to stop crying as she said with a new found courage
" I'm sorry I'm crying baby, momma knows your here to wipe away all my tears and I know you were meant to be and I'll always love you " she said as she picked her things and left
She arrived at her house, she saw here mom preparing things, looked like she was getting ready to prepare a meal.
Madria's mom spot her daughter with her baby coming and she felt a relief, she had heard everything that had been happening and she strongly believed she was the cause of this, if only she let her marry the pilot she wouldn't have experienced these problems and pain.
She rushed to her child and helped her with her luggage. Madria stayed there for some time and today was the day her mom decided to talk with her to help her ease her pain
" madria where did you find this guy, who is oblivious of the treasure he has" madria's mom said with pain evident in her eyes
Madria was calm and didn't shade a tear she was done crying " He never was never like this mom,or maybe I never really knew him, I was blinded by his innocence mom I.... I.... I feel like all the memory we shared are now bad dreams and harmful illusions"
Madria's mom held her close and pat her hair gently. "young people fall in love with the wrong people sometimes my dear, your human and some mistake are made sometimes because you're human and imperfect it's ok to make this mistakes but what is most important is to learn from them"
"I was a fool mom and I lost ....I....I.....I didn't heed to all your advice and still got married to a southerner , now look we're I ended up "
"No you weren't my love look over there " she pointed at Berlin. "and tell me you lost again, you won my love, you have been blessed with a child as beautiful as the stars and she would wipe your tears and bring you back to where you belong , so far she exists no one can take your place in aliz heart , this is the proof of you and his love for each other, he's just being blinded by his mothers evil ways, he surely gonna come around soon "
Madria stared at her daughter as she giggled and wave at her. She really did win she taught to herself and now she would only prioritize the happiness of her and her daughter.
Her taught was interrupted by a call which was from aliz (it was time for them to go back home).
But peace wasn't promised they were still some trials to overcome and madria was ready.
