'Welcome love' Bianca says as she embraces Jonathan coming back from a month trip. She kisses him and smiles
'Your husband is back' Jonathan says smiling back. 'Guess you've missed me'
'Of course, why not' Bianca replies ' Now I have my other half'
Jonathan looks around ' And where are my sons?' faces Bianca 'Don't they know their dad is back?'
Bianca looks around, embarrassed by the sons. She suddenly smiles as she sees them coming down the stairs 'Here, they are ' she gladly announce.
Michael hugs his dad 'Welcome dad'
Jonathan shakes him off 'Coming from the son that has to be called before greeting his dad?'
'i'm sorry dad' he apologies, ' It's good to have you back', looks at him 'hope you won't be leaving for another trip in two days time' he teases
'Come on,' Jonathan replies and holds Bianca's shoulder 'i'm back with my love'.
They all laugh
Sebastien watches them and is umoved. He feels deeply hurt looking at the happiness his dad shares with the family. His mum had begged for little attention but couldn't get.
He moves close to him, murmurs a welcome dad and moves back upstairs.
Jonathan sees him leaving ' Look at this arrogant child is this what I get for raising you' he angrily shout after him.
Bianca tries to calm him down ' Sorry there, don't be annoyed. Come,' she directs him to the table, 'let's eat'.
Bianca instructs Catherine to serve the food. While serving the food, Bianca walks up to her and ask her to call Sebastien to come out for lunch.
Jonathan hates it when the family eats separately. He derives this joy when he sees them eating together. Bianca knows Sebastien will probably absent himself at the table and this will anger Jonathan more.
She ask her to leave the last set of dish to be served to her while she go fetch him.
Catherine is slightly annoyed at this. She does not like the fact Sebastien acts rude to his dad or Bianca. So many times Sebastien ignores Bianca's call and disregards her, yet she tries to keep calm. Even her son doesn't stress her like this.
She storms upstairs to his room and angrily knocks, calling his name 'Sebastien, Sebastien!' She sighs and rests her head on the door feeling fraustrated and angry at the same time.
Sebastien angrily opens the door and Catherine follows it unaware. She falls into his room and hurt her ankle.
'ouch!' she cries holding her ankle. She flashes him an angry look.
Sebastien faces aside, feeling guilty.
Catherine stands and faces him 'Can't you apologize or do you think all this is a joke? ' she yells at him for the first time.
Sebastien is speechless. He sees she is hurt
'Can't you for once act nice? Must I have to call you when you're needed downstairs? Why do you have to make it hard for me Sebastien? Why?' She shouts as tears flows down her cheeks. She is really hurts to the bone, worst still he couldn't say sorry.
She cleans her tears and tries to subdue her emotion 'come out for lunch' , she says and leaps out of the room.
Sebastien watches her leave and feels sorry. She has never yell at him before. In fact no one does except his dad.
He walks downstairs and figures out they did not hear her yelling at him. He joins them at the table.
Feeling sorry for what happened, Sebastien walks to the Kitchen after lunch to apologies to Catherine. He sees her watching the dishes.
He clears his throat to gain her attention and Catherine looks at him, still upset
'What do you want?' She asks while still washing
'I ... I'm sorry Catherine ' he apologies
She turns to him, 'For what?' She asks and continues ' Making me trip? Or the fact that I always have to call you...'
'For everything,' he cuts in. 'I'm so sorry. Hope you aren't hurt?'
'Do I look like I'm okay?' She replies angrily 'Sebastien I'm hurt! and you're the cause of it. Your whole attitude, to me and your entire family hurts me. They love and care for you. You just don't realise all this'
'You know nothing about my family' he shots back beginning to boil
Catherine nods her head 'Yeah I don't. But what I sure do know is yooou!' She stretches, 'are the one with a hard heart, failing to understand them' she leaves his sight.
Catherine opens the gate and walks down the street. She is about to call a cab when a car parks in front of her.
The window winds down and she sees Sebastien at the driver's seat.
'Come in Catherine' he urges her
'To do what?' She demands
'Look,' he explains, 'I know you're angry at me but believe me I'm sorry.'
He has never apologized to people not even his dad, 'So,' he continues, 'allow me to make it up to you and take you home,' he looks down her leg, 'beside you're hurt and might takes time to get a cab'.
Catherine looks at him considering what he just said. It will be hard getting a cab truly because there have been fuel scarcity in the country lately and has not being enough fuel for enough cabs to work but she does not want to give in to the offer. Her mind suddenly drift to her mum at home and she sighs.
'Okay then' . She is only going to accept this because of her mother. She decides.
She enters the car, tells him her house address ang faces the window, all through the ride.
On getting to the house she opens the door and murmurs a thank you.
'It's my pleasure ' Sebastien replies and zoom off.
