Vera walked into the cafe feeling so anxious , it was there second meeting but to her it was her first. She didn't remember it at all.
She stopped midway and her eyes looked around the cafe . It wasn't that full but she had no idea how his mother looked like at all.
"Daughter , am here " she heard someone say behind her.
Turning back she saw her raising her hand ,Vera blinked noticing her smiling back to her .
"Oh.."she walked to where she was.
"Am sorry didn't tell you where I would be seated " she said getting up .
Vera smiled ,"it's alright ,nice to finally meet you Mrs.Irvine" offering her hand .
"Can I get a hug instead ?" She asked .
Vera nodded and moved to hug her.
She was warm and had a sweet scent around her, her arms embraced her and Vera found herself drowing in it.
They pulled back after sitting down, she held her hand not letting it go .
"How have you been doing ?" She asked .
"Okay , thanks to you and Alec" she muttered.
"I did nothing and I hope my son did his best to help you " she said.
"Alec has been nothing but good to me and am sorry I didn't thank you for everything you did for during that time " she let out.
She felt a light squeeze on her hand being held by her mother in law.
"We are family now you don't need to thank me "
"Mrs.Irivine ..ah..".
"Call me mother my dear ". She said.
Vera seemed to hestitate but went ahead.
"Mother ,am sorry to have called but I wanted to know if Alec is alright . He hasn't been home for five days now ,and am worried it might be because of me" she explained.
"Why do you think so ?"
"Cause it was after I moved in that he stopped coming home. He said he came to see you but even his phone is off "
His mother sighed.
"It's not you my dear , it's his father still holding him with work. But I know he will be back soon" she said.
Vera wasn't convinced .
"Can I talk or see him ,am worried about his injury he left with " she said.
"I can help you see him but am not sure he will be willing to see you " said his mother.
"Ahh...".
"When his with his father , his a different person".
"It's alright , I just want to see if his okay then I will leave " she insisted.
