Melanie and her husband get back inside followed by her mother in-law and Mac, they are met at the door by Ofelia and Jessy both of them congratulating her for a job well done…..Tobi still is not himself and he has not said a word ever since but it’s understandable
“Cheer up Bro…. the storm is over now all we need is a delicious breakfast served here….today I have suspended all my appointments, I’m so available to you, at your service, taking all your calls and responding to messages….I just want you to Relax your head, rest enough and spend some quality time with your wife right here…..I’m even going be the one to pick up Mira” Mac is so excited and so are the rest
“I have to clean up…..I had not done that” he excuses himself and climbs up
“What’s up with him now….he’s not happy yet he’s supposed to be the happiest here” Mac says
“Don’t worry…I know his problem….let me talk to him”
“Go you two lovebirds…. go talk to him, he wants some love….if you know you know”
“That’s bad manners Mac” Monica reprimands but the man is too happy to even care
“Melanie is really something else….my God where do we get women with guts like her from….so romantic?” he runs off
“Where to…”
“This deserves some celebration…. I need to get some things from out……they all smile……….
Tobi slowly enters his room and sits down on the bed
” Mel Mel Mel……you surprise me my love…. you surprise me and the love I feel for you right now is too much that it has made me practically mute” the door opens and he looks up, his happy face turns into frown
“You’re looking ugly with that face”
“It’s a look of disappointment…..” he gets up and walks over to her
“What was that you said….what came over you, I didn’t like it one bit”
“Would you have been so happy if I said oh yes he raped me?”
“That’s not it”
“What then”
“I just wanted to be the one to take care of everything that’s all”
“In what way Tobi… what way, by telling everything to those Hungry people” he walks away from her
“I hate lies…..I hate them Melanie”
“So do I Tobi…” she follows him
“But don’t forget that you’re an expert in that department”
“What is that supposed to mean”
“Five years Tobi…. five years, you kept me in the dark and that’s what is called lies” this really gets to him and he’s hurt, Mel can see from the way he looks at her
“I’m so sorry I said that but please, let’s not fight over this….all I wanted was to get those guys off our backs…..they were becoming annoyingly nosy” he walks to the wardrobe to get a clean towel
“You can’t go in there before we finish this Tobi” he drops the towel down
“Well that’s not all Mel…. I’m jealous, yes I’m jealous because I’m not the only one who loves you so much” Mel is shocked
“Are you saying this because of that insignificant fool who embarrassed himself earlier…..”
“He can never give up and I feel so guilty of coming between you two”
“That’s nonsense….. I don’t want to ruin my already beautiful day so get over yourself and remember no one has ever seen my nakedness except the one I love” she walks away
“Melanie wait…” she stops and turns
“It’s too Early to start this Tobi… freshen up and get out there….. your mother and friend are waiting” she turns her back to walk out
“You’re leaving just like that” she was actually waiting for this so she comes back and raises her toes up the way she always does every time she kisses him so she can match with his giant figure….she gives him a slight kiss and wants to get get away but he catches her waist….he pulls her to himself creating no room for anything not even for a mosquito to pass
“Why do you want to torture me in this manner” he’s talking in a sexy tone and she loves it…she bites her lower lip and he’s instantly aroused…..she smiles and he takes advantage of that as he bites her lower lip slightly
“Aaauch…that was painful” she pushes him down and he falls on the bed as Mel takes advantage and runs away
“Come back here….come let’s finish this” she’s already out….Tobi feels so stupid but he can’t stop laughing
“I guess I need a cold shower after all”………..
Ronald drives the car in to the compound and creates fire….everywhere is quiet and he’s sure his coward of a mother has not left, he’s not going to have it easy with her
” Where are you…. where is that witch….where are you mother, come out here and finish this, come kill me once and for all” he’s screaming at the top of his voice and his mother and father come running out
“Son what’s going on”
“Ask you wife….ask her and let her explain to you how exactly she worked so hard to ruin and screw me over…..”
“Calm down…she’s your mother”
“I’m not even sure about that anymore”
“Watch your tongue Ronald…. I’m your mother”
“I won’t…. I won’t, you hated Melanie so much that you didn’t want her for my wife but look at me….take a very long look at me I have become a laughing stock….a fool, a loser all thank to my mighty mother…..the woman of class, a woman who knows it all”
“What’s happening….. what is he talking about” his father asks
“Don’t mind him Darling”
“He shouldn’t mind me right?…. well he should mind me and he’s got to mind me…..I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Melanie even after knowing she was raped and she was carrying a rapist’s child…. my love for her was sure and I was only being tested….was that really too much for a man to yearn for?… spending the rest of her life with the man she loves”
“What rape son…. I thought she said there was no rape and she didn’t actually love you….you should be thankful things actually turned out this way”
“That’s crap dad….total crap…. sure shit, she was only covering up for her husband to defend his Honour and you know why” he walks closer
“It’s because for her it’s time to pay us back….because for her, she’s aware my mother your wife here is responsible for the fact that the reporters were there in her home today”
“Whaaaaat”
“Yes and that’s not all….Melanie hates all of us, she would stop at nothing in order to destroy all of us” Ronald senior turns to His wife
“Is all that he’s saying true”
“Don’t even deny it mother….. you’re the brain behind those press people today and you equally contributed to what led to her rape five years ago and yes….. you not only did you do that but you made sure you painted my head and mind with nonsense and instilled fear in me few days to our wedding so that I would chicken out and yes being the idiot I am I did….I did”
“That’s enough….” she slaps his lips
“I have heard enough of your baseless rantings and false accusations….. did I take your brain away from you….listen carefully, real men don’t allow themselves to be made decisions for…… you had all the support you needed in order to make Melanie your wife but you let your head be controlled so don’t blame me, blame yourself for being a coward and for the fact that her own rapist was able to win her heart over” he wants to slap her back… He’s looking so dangerous and God knows how he was able to control himself, he looks at her with so much hatred
“Look me in the eyes Lillian…. I’m not drunk so I’m warning you, the same energy you put in separating Melanie and I should be the same energy you use to bring my woman back into my life….you have twenty four hours…..twenty four hours to bring her back into my life so start counting because it starts now….I don’t care how you do it you bitch but I want her back if not” he steps away
“I’m going to burn this mansion down” he walks backwards until when he gets to the car but he makes sure he maintained eye contact with his mother…..he opens the door and points at her with his finger, he wants to say something but Alas… he gets in and drives out
“See what your son…..only son has turned in to”
“No no no…..don’t say my son, when. I wanted them to all grow up in decency and the fear of the lord what did you do as their mother…..you frustrated all my efforts and defended all their disrespects……. I was always away from home and the closest person they were to was you…. i was more like a stranger to them”
” Don’t turn this on me Ronald….all I did was for their good”
“Sure see how the good turned out….. but I want to know… what have you got to do with all those accusations”
“Your son is crazy… what he said weren’t true” her husband looks at her critically and she can see he’s believing all that Ron said already
“Lillian you were a very humble girl from a humble background but you let wealth that isn’t even yours to cloud sense of reasoning and judgement…..how did you get there”
“It’s called class….”
“But I never thought of class when I sort you out”
“But times have changed my Darling” she wants to hold onto him but he doesn’t let her
“If I ever find out that you indeed had anything to do with that rape of Melanie or what happened today, Remember what I told you five years ago……I will not only divorce you but I will leave you with nothing but again this time around in prison so be careful how you operate” he walks back in and Lillian is scared
“I need to earn back my son’s trust….I need to show him I’m sorry even if I have to fake it…..we should look for a way out if this mess because I’m not Ready to lose all I have worked so hard to achieve”…..
