We dropped Dinela and Alero at their place before mom, Mavery and I head home, I was scared and worried out of my mind, what is all this? Why is all this happening to me? Why me?
We reached home and I walked quickly into the house and head to my room but mom called out to me, I had to stop, I didn't want to talk to anyone right now but I know mom won't even listen to my shit.
"Axymah dear what's wrong?" She asked as she walked towards me.
"Nothing mom, I'm fine." I told her.
"You're not fine honey I can see it in your eyes please tell me what's bothering you, what did Debby gold tell you? I want to know the whole thing." She said and pulled me towards the living room, Mavery was standing further away from us.
"Mom I'll tell you later."
"No, I want to know, tell me now!"
She demanded, there is nothing getting me out of this one, where do I begin? How will I tell you? You'll be devastated and heart broken, you're pregnant I don't want to stress you, if anything happens to you or your baby because of me..... I won't be able to forgive myself.
As I was about to speak the door bell rang, thank goodness.
"Saved by the bell." Mavery said with a smile.
So she does know, why didn't she tell me then? She did say I have to figure it out myself, oh goodness.
"Who is it? Come in." Mom said, without even waiting for a reply, the person that walked through the door was the last person I ever wanted to see, I don't even ever want to see her, My Biological Mom.
Mom turned to the back to see who it was and immediately stood up, I did so too and we went five feet close to her, she was standing right in front if the door.
Mom hasn't seen her before but she has seen pictures of her so she can definitely identify her, I refuse to call her my mom anymore so I'll call her by her birth name, Habeeba.
"Habeeba? What are you doing here?" Mom asked harshly, "leave now."
"I am only here to see my daughter not to fight." She said calmly.
"Which daughter? The one you abandoned?" Mom asked not raising her voice so much because of her condition.
"I didn't abandon her, she was with my lover." My so called biological mom said.
"Why did you never come to see her? Why? She was abused, molested, violated, almost killed all because you left her with your lover."
"Ex lover," Habeeba corrected "my child." She said turning to me instead of answering mom's question.
"I'm not your child, let that be clear to you." I said firmly.
"I wanted to come see you but I couldn't and I'm sorry." She said.
"Really for over nine years?"
"My child please you have to hear me out, I can explain everything to you please my child." She said pleading, I wanted to hear what she had to say badly, she is still my mom, she might have a tangible reason.
"There is nothing for you to say or explain, leave my house right now and never return, go away." Mom said fuming, you do not want to anger a pregnant woman tsk tsk tsk.
"I am not speaking to you but my daughter." Habeeba said.
"Mom let's hear her out, she might have a good reason for what she did." I reasoned with her.
"But Axymah..." She wanted to argue but I stopped her.
"No buts, come seat." I said and I carried a char from the dining for her to seat on then put a pillow at her back, then turned to Habeeba.
"Alright we are all ears, what do you have to say for yourself?"
"Won't you at least invite me in, let me seat." She said.
"Do not cross the line woman, respect yourself please, say what you want to say and leave." I told her and she sighed deeply.
"Okay My child..."
"Stop calling me your child." I really was starting to get irritated by her.
"So when I had the car accident before the car caught on fire, I managed to leave the car and into a nearby bush, a good Samaritan found me and helped me...." She said.
"And? So what happened after he nursed you to health? Did it take him three or four years to nurse you to health or what?"
"Actually you can say that, I hit my head really hard in the car accident, blood spilled in my brain a little, luckily I didn't die from it, it took me three years to be back to normal." She said.
"Okay so how about the remaining six years?" I asked.
"I lost my memory." As soon as she said that Mavery burst out laughing, she stomped her feet and bent over as she laughed, she laughed so hard tears roll down her cheeks, she just kept on laughing.
"What's so funny? Am I missing something?" Mom asked while Habeeba glared at Mavery, I also wanted to know what was funny.
"I'm so sorry, go on." She said in between laughs.
"What's funny?" I asked.
"Nothing, sorry for intruding, go on." She said as she composed herself but was still chuckling.
"Does this seem like a joke to you? is this some stand up comedy to you?" Habeeba asked.
"No but you are, you're hysterical, you should join stand up comedy." Mavery said with a wink.
"So you lost your memory and then what happened?" I asked really curiose.
"I had brain injuries and went into a coma." Before she even finished talking Mavery started laughing, she laughed and laughed, mom was so confused.
"What's so funny?" Mom asked.
"Habeeba please leave my house right now!" I told her.
"Why are you government naming me? I'm your mom, call me mom." She said.
"You stopped being my mom the moment to abandoned me."
"But I just explained t....." She began to say but I rudely interrupted her, Mavery is still rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter, mom is looking confused and Habeeba is on the verge of tears, how do I feel about this?
"Please leave Habeeba, go away and never come back, leave, I don't want you apart of my life anymore, I don't want to ever set eyes on you no more." I declared.
"Don't forget I'm still your mom, the day you realise that I'm not lying but saying the truth you'll come running to me, my arms will forever be opened to you and I'll forgive you for all these." She told me with sad eyes, I was beginning to feel for her.
"Go away now!" I said and she left, shutting the door behind her, I turned yo face a confused and concerned pregnant woman and a woman dying of laughter, mom needs to know everything but not now, its not the right time to tell her, what I want to know is what next? What will happen now? Is this my end?
I need answers and only Dario and Mavery can give me the answers I need right now, I don't want Mavery speaking in parables no more, she should be straightforward from now on.
"Mom, everything is fine, she is gone, you're the only mom I have now." I cooed.
"Really?" She asked with a small smile.
"Yes mom, really, let's go to your room you need rest." I told her.
"But why is Mavery on the floor laughing?"
"She has a weird sense of humor, ignore her, let's go." I said.
"Okay." We stood up from the chair she was sitting in and went to her room, I tucked her in.
"Sweety I love you." She said as soon as she was laying comfortably.
"I love you too mom, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you, you must be starving."
"You're right, I'm really hungry, I'd like some soup and bread with some avocado please, any kind would do, please hurry."
"Okay, I'll make that for you right away, how are you feeling? Is your baby alright?"
"Yes, we are both fine."
"That's good, I'll be back with your lunch okay."
"Okay baby." She said and with that I left her room, I went to meet Mavery in the living room.
"You need to tell her, she needs to know and you need to do something about it?" Mavery said.
"I will but not now, she is not in any condition for that news right now, I'll tell her at the right time." I said sternly.
"But you don't have time, you need to act now and fast."
"I know but its not the right time, when the time comes I'll reveal all to her."
"Take care of yourself, I'd take your leave." She said and was on her way.
"Wait...." I stopped her.
"Tell me something first."
"What's that?"
"What are you?" I asked slowly.
"Didn't she tell you? You know what I am." She said.
"Yes but I need you to confirm it." I told her.
"I'm a witch." She said and I gulped loudly, then she turned around and took her leave, shutting the door behind her.
That's the end of this chapter, so Mavery is a witch, who saw that coming? When will time be right for all to be revealed?
