What's love when you can't show it?
What's love when you can't practice it?
What's love when you can't stand by it?
All what's going through Phillip's mind at that time was thoughts of Dianna. Where she is, how she is, how things are with her mum, are they still at the hospital or back home.
Just as he was about driving into his house Dianna called.
Dianna...Hello Phill.
Phillip.....Hello my love, please let me call u back. He drove in, didn't even enter the house but called her back right inside the car.
Phillip........My love, how are you?
Thank God you called. I have been worried sick about you. I nearly came to your place but was distracted by my mum.
Dianna....... Really?
How?
Phillip.....She's just trying her best to match make I and Jennifer but I won't give in to that.
Dianna......Phill I'm afraid and don't know what the fear is about.
Phillip........You are afraid?
Why?
What happened?
You know what, I'm coming to your place right now.
Dianna........Phill no, it's already very late.
Phillip......No amount of no you say can stop me from coming to your place love.
Phillip drove down to Dianna's place, rang the bell and Dianna welcomed him.
Dianna......Phill do you know that you are somehow stubborn?
She laugh out loud.
Phillip......... Coming from you I will accept it but if it were to be someone else I won't take it. He laughs too.
Dianna .......But you know it's the truth right?
Phillip.......Eh leave my stubbornness for me . Is it your stubbornness? Hahhhahhahahh
Dianna offered him a cup of coffee and got him something to eat too.
Phillip......All this sweet treatment for me?
Which man in his rightful sense won't fall for you?
You are beautiful, intelligent, hardworking, good cook and responsible. I'm blessed to have you Dianna.
Dianna......Awwwn, I'm blessed to have you too Phill. You are my dream come through.
Phillip........I'm glad I am dear. So please don't dream again since the dream has finally come through hahahhahahaha.
Dianna........Hahahahha allow me to dream my dreamooooo, is it your dream?
Phillip.......Baby so tell me, you sounded somehow on phone. You mentioned being afraid. What's the matter?
Dianna.......Oh that?
Nothing much, just that I'm afraid of what my mum is going through right now.
Phillip.... How do you mean?
Dianna.........She's going through the pain of loosing a daughter she loves so much. Even though she can't admit it, I know Phill. And it's not good for her health.
Phillip........You are speaking in parables love. Who's the daughter she loves this much? And why loosing her?
Dianna.... Phill the thing is, my younger sister Amanda is pregnant for her man. My mum literally didn't give her support to her in dating a guy who's from another tribe and to her getting pregnant for this guy would convince my mum to accept the guys proposal to my sis but instead things got worst. That led to my sis leaving the house aggressively and promising never to return. And her words got my mum to where she is health wise now.
Phillip.......Well I feel your mum's pain though. No sensible woman would be happy to see her daughter pregnant without following dew process. Her fellow women might even make a mockery of her. If she's in any department in Church this is enough reason to talk her down. I'm not blaming your sister too.
Dianna......Phill what are you then saying?
Phillip......Dear there are situations you can't help but do the needful. If she had decided to wait till your mum gives her concent do you think she would? And who knows how long that will take. What if her man gets tired of waiting and just decides to marry someone else?
Dianna......Phill, are you trying to tell me something indirectly?
Phillip......Hey love , calm down, what's the fuse about? I'm just stating a fact. But all the same your sister wouldn't have gotten pregnant just so she can convince your mum. And as for me, my love we will do things right.
If my mum and yours aren't giving in to our request we bounce.
Dianna....Lol, funny you. How do you mean?
Phillip......We will just go and do court wedding nah. Leave this state and travel to another state and start our new family there. With time they too will come around.
