Am Truly Sorry

Tina's madam handed over Godsent to Patrick as she assumed Patrick was Godsent father, and Patrick carried Godsent up in his arms to his chest and smiled to Godsent, whom wanted to cried as Godsent wasn't familiar with Patrick. Just then Tina's madam spoked to Patrick, "Your son really looks so much like you than Tina, Why does he not want you to carry him?."

Patrick didn't said anything in response as he was anticipating Tina's reaction when she would stepped out and saw him, then Tina's madam stood up and gave Godsent his stick sweet so he would stopped crying in Patrick's arms, while she asked one of her apprentice,.

"What's Tina still doing inside?."

Hearing her Madam's voice, Tina stopped all she was doing inside and immediately rushed out and apologised, "Am sorry ma'am, I was just doing the finishing.."

"It okay, someone is here to see you" Tina's madam dismissed Tina from apologizing to her and she pointed at Patrick whom stood out facing backwards, as Tina didn't saw his face when she stepped out.

When Tina saw the tall man whom waa carrying her son was Patrick, she frowned and stared at her madam whom stared at her too in astonishment, seeing her mode of behavior towards Godsent father changed.

Tina madam knew of Tina's relationship with Chris, because Chris was always bringing Tina to work in his car, and also coming back to drove Tina home, when they closed from work, to carry Tina and her son home in his car to their home, And Tina's madam knew so well that Chris wasn't the father of Godsent as she had seen Patrick once before, but she didn't understood the type of relationship going on between Patrick and Tina either, as Tina was openly dating Chris behind Patrick's back..

Tina's madam didn't wanted to asked Tina about her relationship triangle between Patrick and Chris as she thought that was Tina's owned personal business not her headache, but she saw Tina frowned seriously staring at Patrick, whom smiled calmly at her carrying their son (Godsent) in his arms, and Tina asked him angrily, "What are you doing here?. Can we go out to talk?."

Tina didn't wanted to created a scene in front of her madam, her friends and her co-workers, so Patrick agreed and replied her, "Okay sure."

Tina and Patrick both strolled down away from her Madam's shop then Tina stopped and asked him, "What do you want here?!."

Tina stared at Patrick angrily like she was seeing her worst enemy but Patrick still smiled at her, as he was calmed staring around her village from where they stood.

"Am talking to you, why did you come to my madam's shop?," Tina questioned him angrily again and Patrick sighed and turned to stared at her.

Looking at Tina's beautiful angry face, Patrick didn't said anything as he was still carrying Godsent in his arms, then he spoke to Godsent rather, ignoring Tina, "Baby, your mom is reay angry with me, see.."

Tina stared at Patrick angrily with angered filled eyes and she wanted to collected Godsent away from Patrick's arms, but Patrick refused to gave Godsent to her and he said, "Why do you want to carry him away from me, he's my son too, or am I lying about him?."

Tina stared at Patrick angrily not responding as she didn't wanted to wasted a single more minute with him.

Patrick remained calmed as he still carried Godsent while staring at Tina, then he spoked, "Why do you hate me this much?. Haven't I apologised to you a lot?. Am honestly sorry for all I did and caused to you in the past.. Am truly sorry please. Find a place in your heart and forgive me?."

Tina was quiet and she didn't said anything next to Patrick as she slowly sobbed and turned her teary face away from him, and Patrick drew forward to meet her and he continued, "Am truly sorry Tina, Please forgive me?," Patrick tried to touched Tina by her arm to face him, but Tina pushed his hands away from touching hers..

"Don't you ever dare to touch me again!," Tina turned and stared at Patrick bitterly, staring to Patrick face-to-face then she spoked, "Just go away from me and my son and move on with your life. We won't disturb you, and I don't want to have anything to do with you again."

"Hmm.." Patrick frowned and didn't said anything to that as he knew Tina was still angry at him, so he didn't argued with her and finally replied, "Is okay. If you don't want to forgive me or talk to me, but at least you can let me spend some time with my son too."

Patrick turned his face away from Tina and smiled at Godsent in his arms and he continued, "My mother want to meet with him, as she won't allow me to rest except I bring him home, and that's why am here in the first place. As my mom has been threatening me with her life and I don't like that."

Patrick turned back smiling at Tina then he winked at her and said, "So you see, Godsent will be coming home with me today okay."

"No!," Tina was startled, no way was she going to let Patrick took her son away from her, as she didn't even knew his village nor where he was from. So how would she just let him took her son away to God-knows where, just because he claimed his mother wanted to saw her son.

"No way!. I can't let you take my son anywhere with you!," Tina turned serious wanting to collected Godsent away from Patrick's arm but Patrick refused to let go.

"Our son, not just your son," Patrick corrected her.

"Who told you he's your son?," Tina questioned him, as she drew closer to Patrick, staring at his face as she tried to carried Godsent away from his arms.

"He's my son and I don't need anyone to tell me before I know he's mine," Patrick stated plainly, and Tina bursted out laughing surprising Patrick as he hadn't seen her laughed before, then she deadpanned,

"He's not your son okay. Just go elsewhere and look for your son not mine."

"But his my son and you cannot deny him of that. He also resembles me so you can't lie to me about his father. He will be going home with me today as you have stayed enough with him, let me also spend some time with him too."

"No.." Tina frowned seeing Patrick was serious in taking Godsent away, as obviously Godsent looked so much like Patrick, but there was no way she would allowed Patrick took her son away from her and she bited on her lower lips angrily thinking of what to do.

Patrick smiled at her, seeing how Tina looked defeated as he knew Godsent was his son, so Tina couldn't lied to him about that as their resemblance, said it all.

Staring at Tina's distracted face, Patrick drew closer to her and gave Godsent back to her, surprising Tina because he refused to let Godsent go before, then Patrick spoke to her calmly.

"I still want to bring him home to my mother, even though is not today. Maybe tomorrow or by weekend, I can come take you both to come see my people, my parent and sisters".

Tina frowned staring at Patrick then she asked him, "Why will I want to see your mother?. Am not your wife Patrick and am not in any relationship with you, it was all a mistake that led to my son, so .."

"A mistake?" Patrick asked her as he frowned hearing what Tina just said, then he replied, "It was never a mistake, and don't ever see nor stared at my son as a mistake."

Then Patrick continued, " I did loved you before that night, have always loved you and wanted you, but you weren't given me any chance to prove myself to you. All that wouldn't have happened if you had given me a chance to get to know you better, I never knew what came over me that night, I wasn't drunk, I just couldn't help it, but the truth is that I truly love you, I have tried talking to you, but you rejected me severally, I had to bribe your friend then multiple times and even send her gifts just to give to you and help me talk to you, but I presumed she wasn't doing any of that as she wanted me all to herself. I was just lucky to have you that day with me, and honestly I cherish the moment we shared as the memory won't let me sleep" Patrick said smiling at Tina but Tina frowned seriously at him hearing all he just said.

Tina couldn't believed her ears as she knew he liked her but he ruined her chances of being a nurse. Why didn't he told her his feelings that night instead of luring her to his bed and sleeping with her?.

She still hated him because of that, as she had wanted to gave her pride to her husband on their wedding night and he took it away. What will she give to Chris when they eventually get married?.

Tina frowned seriously, staring at patrick then she replied him..
