"Not every child can attend her parents' wedding but it is different in my case," said Sandra on a hospital bed with a smile on her face.
A young woman wearing a white gown with flowers on her head walked toward a tall handsome man then said "Let's get married"
Imelda P.o.v
Oh sorry for not introducing myself I am Imelda, a single mum, and yes Sandra is my daughter but I will be getting married again.
I was running heavily to Sunshine Kindergarten to pick Sandra up from school after being late for 1hr
"This Sandra's last day at school and you still pick her up late," the teacher said frowning her face and nodding her head in disappointment.
"I'm sorry," I said with a smile on my face.
"Mummy you are late again, must you be late every time hun," Sandra said to Imelda in her little cute voice.
"Baby let's go to the store and get you a birthday present," I told Sandra because it was her 6th birthday.
At the store, I told Sandra to go for a lesser toy as I'm not capable of an expensive toy.
Adam and Reynold were at the store trying to get a gift for Adam because it was Reynold's 6th birthday.
Imelda's brooch fell from her clothes and she picked it up trying to fix it then she heard a little boy's voice
"Aunty why are you stealing my stuff," Reynold said to her.
I was surprised and wondered what I had stolen from him.
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself, you are stealing from her a 6-year-old boy" Adam said to her in his cold voice.
"What did I steal? I'm confused right here, "I said.
"Daddy she stole my brooch," Reynold told his father.
Adam removed the brooch from Imelda's clothes.
"This brooch is designed by a world-famous designer and there are only two pieces in the whole world and there is no way you can afford this brooch," Adam said rudely.
" since you keep insisting that I stole your brooch then let's check the surveillance camera," I said with anger on her face.
When both parents were busy arguing, Reynold and Sandra were smiling at each other and giving each other signs, as they were about to head to the security house Reynold shouted
"Daddy I found my brooch it was inside my pocket"
I snatched my brooch and looked into Adam's face angrily
"Stupid human being accusing me of stealing tcheew," I said hissing loudly.
I took Sandra headed to the counter paid for the toy and went home.
Imelda's POV.
The sitting room was decorated with balloons, a cake was placed on the table. I and Sandra sat down on the floor facing the cake on the table. I took out a candle and lit it then I started singing.
"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you dear girl, happy birthday to you, hip, hip" I and Sandra shouted hurray together!
I cut the cake into smaller pieces as Sandra was about the eat the cake I said
"Don't forget you have to take your pills before eating sweet things"
Sandra grumbled and said "Mummy the pills are too bitter I don't want to take them"
"My dear you know you are mummy's favorite, you have to take these pills so that you can fight off the demons, "I said.
Sandra opened her mouth to take the pills and swallowed them.
Adam's POV.
Reynold's room was filled with different toys, and there was a cake on the table there.
"That's your cake and have bought you a Superman toy as well, Happy birthday my boy, I said.
"Daddy where is mummy, I want mummy as my birthday present you promised me that mummy would come back to me on my 6th birthday but there is no mummy still yet," he said whining.
"Reynold will you stop crying, have told you severely that crying won't solve anything "I scolded him.
"Daddy is a liar, I hate daddy, I want my mummy, I don't want Superman toy, I don't want cake, I promise to be a good boy just give me mummy, I want a mummy, all my classmates have mummy and daddy, why am I the only one without a mummy?" He continued whining.
I carried him and started patting him on his back
" Reynold Kendrick I know you want a mother, but daddy is here for you, why are you still looking for a mummy? I promise to give you a mummy as soon as possible," I said pitifully.
"Daddy since you have promised me and you will keep your promise I will be a good boy," Reynold said.
Mr Lawson Kendrick was sitting in the sitting room stretching his legs on the table.
"Grandpa, why are you still up? did you have trouble sleeping?" I asked.
"Is he asleep?" Mr Lawson asked me.
He told me to sit down beside him as he had something to tell me.
"I know what he wants to say, it is all about my marriage," I thought as I sat down.
"Adam it is high time you let go of the past and get married, have been trying to introduce you to many girls but you keep rejecting them," Mr Lawson said.
"Reynold is now 6 years old, he is no longer a small child you can deceive, he needs a mother in his life" he continued.
"Grandpa I promised to marry any lady you find for me now as long she meets my condition," I said.
"Can I know the conditions?" Mr Lawson asked.
" she must be a single mom," I said.
" is that all?" Mr Lawson asked me.
Mr Lawson POV.
In a small community, I gather old women whose daughters are of the age of marriage and start telling them about my grandson, praising him for how good he is but as soon as I mention that he needs a daughter who has been married before and had a child before as my daughter-in-law. The women flared up and started shouting at me almost causing me to fall.
"Be careful Grandpa" Imelda said as she caught him with her hand supporting him to stand on his feet.
"Thank you, my daughter," I said.
"Why are you guys harassing an old man like this?" Imelda asked.
"He is finding a wife for his grandson but he has this weird condition"
"What is wrong with an old man finding a wife for his grandson? he is just caring for his grandson," Imelda asked the old woman.
"Then you can marry his grandson as well, thank God you are young and beautiful, " the old woman said jokingly.
"Ohh sorry I'm not interested moreover I'm a single mom," Imelda said.
I faced her looking happy as I thought I had found the perfect match for my grandson.
"Thank God I met you, such a nice young lady, beautiful and kind-hearted I will make sure you marry my grandson," I thought.
"What's your name my child?" I asked her.
"Imelda sir," she told him.
"How old are you? how old is your daughter? What are you doing here? What do you do ?" I asked her not even allowing her to speak.
"Grandpa which one did you want me to answer?" She said jokingly.
" I'm a designer and I'm trying to secure a slot at KD company," Imelda told him.
"Wow, that's Adam's company, God is great," I thought.
"A friend of mine works there I will talk to him about you, there will be a cocktail party tomorrow night. I want you to come to the party so that you can meet him and talk to him about the project," I told her.
"Ahh tomorrow night I don't think I can come, my daughter will be back from school and there is no one to take care of her," she told him.
"That's not a problem you can bring her to the party, there is a reserved place for children there you can put her there and go on with your business," I told her happily.
