I walked out with my full chest, I wasn't going to watch her insult the hell out of my family. No one, not even emaka had the right to call me low class or be little me.
Am human you know , I have a feeling as well.
I don't know how some women tolerate such mother inlaw in Nigeria movie. I just wondered how people cope with such a lazi woman, with all her characters. I couldn't even imagine, how she would treat the numerous workers who worked for her. I stood at the gate of their estate, as I ordered for an Uber driver.
"Babe, babe " I heard emaka; calling from behind me as he rushed towards me, as he breath heavily.
"Babe , am so sorry for what happened, up there" he pleaded taking my arm in his.
"Babe I don't get it , is it a crime to come from a poor background
"Babe, I can explain, my mom just had a bad day at the office today, she is totally s0rry for that "
"Babe, I would not t0lerate your mom, having a bad day or not.
"Babe trust me , my mom is not like this
"Then, how is she like?" I questioned.
"Babe, you have to calm down, am the one marrying you not my Mom"
"I know, but still she is making mockery of me and my family and I can't take that"
"Am sorry about that"
"Babe, I don't like this"
"Babe, listen to me , we would work this out , shouting won't solve this okay?
"Babe, do you think your mom is going to ever approve us?" I asked already worked up . I knew deep down that his mom would never love me or accept me. Haven heard and read countless of stories from De Lyon World about how mothers inlaw can frustrate you , if they doesn't like you. I was worried, I couldn't let her iñsült my family though.
"Babe, she is going to approve us regardless, cause she isn't the one marrying you" he said and I hugged him .
"Thanks babe " I smiled as he hugged me back
"No need to thank me, I would talk to my mom. okay, don't worry about anything" he said kissing my forehead.
"Yeah, I would try not to think much about it" I replied as he ' hmmm' in response.
He spoke up again immediately we disengage from the hugged
"Babe , so let me drop you off"
"No babe, I already called an Uber driver"
"Babe are you mad at me?" he asked staring at me
"Nope"
"Then why won't you let me drop you off " he asked as his voice tighten
"Babe, cause I just called an Uber driver"
I said more confused, as he let go of my arms
"Then just cancel it " he spoke briefly.
"No I won't"
"That it, am I my mom , I thought you said you love me " he said as he shook his head
I knew if I didn't go along with him, we would end up qu@rr£ling and that I didn't have strength for.
"Okay fine, am cancelling the Uber drive okay?" I asked
"It fine by me , just wait here, let me get the car keys"
Few minutes later he came back and I entered the car, we drove in silence, no one spoke to each other. But I knew, even though I had enough on my mind, but I decided to swallow it and deal with it.
Immediately, we reached my apartment, I dropped down from the car.
I was so tried and immediately freshen up , I was still thinking about what I could prepare instantly and eat; cause I didn't eat anything.
My phone range shifty, normally I thought it was my boss, that man, can call his employees on holidays. I didn't want to pick his calls but I knew, I needed to check the caller before I decide, if or not, I want to take the call.
I unplugged my phone from the wall socket, and checked the caller but it was an unknown caller.
I had a policies, not to take unknown calls, but I knew I had to take this call
"Hello , who am I speaking with?" I asked the caller
"Are you Sofia" the caller asked, with a femmine voice.
"Is there a problem?"
I asked the caller but instead for her to answer, she laughed
"Excuse you?" I asked the caller.
What did I say that was funny?
She stopped laughing, immediately she realized that I wasn't playing.
"Sofia, or what ever you call your self, stay away from my man, else "
She threathen, who was her man by the way?
"Else what?" I questioned, with more frim resolvition laced perfectly on my tone.
"I see" she paused as she growled "little brat, you dare response back? Do you know who I am? She asked and I was frustrated, who the hell was she?
"Are you out of your mind " I asked getting annoyed
How mannerless she was?
"I see, the battle line had been drawn" she spoke with bitterness in her voice
I was puzzled which battle line? Who did I offend
"Hello? " I called, but she had already disconnected the call
