Knock Knock Knock Knock
Beatrice heard someone knocking on her bedroom door , who is there ?"she asked although she waa certain that it was her mother who had come to make trouble for her.
"It's me , John ,"she had the reply ,she was suprised because she wasn't expecting to be him,"what do you want?"she asked him ,"don't be like that Beatrice ,why can't you even ask me to get in first before you start asking me questions?"John asked .
"Ok , come in ,"Beatrice said , John opened the door and got in ,he walked straight and attempted to sitting on Beatrice's bed ,"don't even think of sitting on my bed , what purpose do you think that couches is for ?"Beatrice who was sitting on her dressing chair asked.
"I think is more comfortable sitting on the bed compared to sitting on the couch ,"John replied ,"you can continue standing and say whatever brought you here if you don't want to sit ,"Beatrice said , John looked at her for several seconds before sitting on the couch.
"Why aren't you saying anything , don't tell me that they wasn't somewhere to sit in your room?"Beatrice asked him ,"I just felt like coming here and observing your room ,"John replied ,"you can go on and continue observing ,am on my way out ,close the door once you leave ,"Beatrice said and attempted to leave.
"Am serious now , I have something to discuss with you,"John said but Beatrice ignored him ,"come on Beatrice , it's very important that you listen to me , I promise you that I will only take a few minutes of your time,"John promised , Beatrice looked at him and decided to listen to him ,she wasn't going anywhere anyway,she just wanted to get her to say whatever brought him here without him beating around the bush.
"Go on ,am listening to you , you only have three minutes ,"Beatrice said and sat down on her bed looking at him ,"it's about mum,"John said ,"what about her ?"John asked .
"Don't you think that we have go to far ,she is still our mother no matter what ,"John said ,"I was also thinking the same ,I think what we did earlier wasn't acceptable,"Beatrice said , Cloe was their mother , she didn't deserve to be treated like that by them.
"What do you think we should do about what happened earlier ?"Beatrice asked him ,"I think the best thing to do is to apologise to her,"John suggested , Beatrice looked at him and thought about what he has said , she nodded her head and agreed with what he has said.
"Let's go then ,"John said , stood up and walked out , Beatrice followed behind him , Cloe was in the living room playing with her phone and she didn't see Beatrice and John approaching her ,"mother ,"John went ahead and called her , Cloe looked at up and saw the both of them.
"Have the two of you come to tell me that you won't be attending school on the parents' day if I will be there , so to disappoint the both of you ,I changed my mind , I won't be going there ,the both of you should be rest assured,"Cloe said to them.
"We aren't here to talk about that exactly but I think what we want to talk about is somehow related to that,"John replied ,"am not interested to hear whatever the two of you have to say ,"Cloe said ,she stood up and started walking towards the stairs leading to upstairs.
"Mother ,we are sorry ,"Beatrice and John looked at each other and said in unison , Cloe stopped and stood still for a few seconds before turning around and looking at both of them ,"what did the two of you say?"Cloe asked not believing her ears.
"We are sorry mother ,"the both of them repeated in unison again , Cloe looked at the both of them trying to see if their meant what they were saying,"why are you apologizing?"Cloe asked them ,"mother ,we know that you were hurt by what happened earlier ,we didn't have any right to do or say what we said earlier,"Beatrice spoke before John.
Cloe went back to the sit she had been sitting earlier and sat ,she looked at her kids and felt sorry for them ,if she hasn't caused a scandal the last time she visited them in school , what happened earlier wouldn't be happened ,she was the one in fault but just to make her happy they have taken the initiative to apologise even if they weren't at fault.
Beatrice and John looked at each other ,then they mother and looked at each other again ,the both of them couldn't guess what she was thinking about,"mother ,are you okay?"Beatrice asked after Cloe was quite for a long time.
"Yes ,am ok , the both of you shouldn't worry ,"Cloe's said and got back at staring at the space , Stephen happened to be coming downstairs but stopped when he saw them and tried to eavesdropp on what they were saying.
"Say something then mother ,"John said , Cloe looked at her kids and realized that she was making them worry for nothing ,"you know what ,am the one who is supposed to apologise to the both of you,"Cloe finally decided to speak .
"Am very sorry , I promise to be the best mother to the two of you,"Cloe said and promise , Beatrice and John looked at her and smiled , Stephen prayed and hoped that Cloe will keep her promise.
Cloe wasn't sure that her kids believed what she said but she made a mental note to always remember her promise ,"come here the both of you,"CLO said , Beatrice and John looked at each other and hesitated for a while.
"Don't be afraid ,I just want a hug from you guys ,"Cloe said, Beatrice and John looked at each other and went to their mother ,she opened her arms and hugged the both of them.
