Addy went into the house where she saw her mother sitting with Tricia.

" Morning guys" Addy greeted

"Rani dear are you okay,did that evil boy harm you" Daksha said scanning Addy's body

"What are you talking about" Addy was confused

"Hi I have something to tell you" Tricia said

" Go on"

"I don't think Derek is a good guy"

"WDYM Tricia" said Addy her voice higher than normal

"Sit down Rani and listen carefully to what your friend has to say"

" Mum, Tricia what's going on"

" Addy I think Derek is having an affair with someone."

" Tricia will you please keep talking and quit the suspense already. Of course he is having an affair with someone and that person Is me, we all know that right so what are you trying to say"

" Please listen to me calmly. Yesterday a woman came to the hospital where I work to get her tests done, she came with a child and  she was pregnant."

"What has that got to do with Derek"

"It has everything to do with Derek because he brought that lady to the hospital and the child called him father. I saw Derek myself holding hands with that woman in a not so normal way" Tricia stated

"And your point is?"

"Derek must be having an affair with that lady, he's such an asshole, he's cheating you."

" So because you saw Derek with a lady that had a child who called him father you just conclude that.."

" I know what I'm saying Addy you know how observing I am. I wish I was the one in charge of the lady I would've gotten proof for you cause it doesn't look like you believe me"

"And what did she look like?"

"The lady had fair skin, and she was as tall as you or maybe a little bit taller and the child..the child she uhm.. yeah she had ginger hair. I swear on my late bunny's life, I saw Derek with her and I think her name was uhm something that began with s was it

Cynthia or Samosa "

" Cynthia begins with a C Tricia and samosa is not a name of a person but I know. The name is Samantha right?"

"Yesss that's the lady's name you know her"

"I do, and the little girls name is Abigail. I've met them as a matter of fact we were all together this morning"

"You know about her and you are comfortable with her, tell me how many slaps did you give to Derek for cheating and deceiving you". Daksha asked

" Mum Derek didn't cheat or deceive me, Samantha is Derek's younger sister and Abby is his niece. There's nothing going on between them, that would be incestuous"

"But she called him daddy"

"She always does, Abby is a sweet girl mum that If she sees you, she'll call you grandma and call Tricia aunt"

"Then I guess I misunderstood?"

"Is that a question or what, you obviously did" Addy said. She had already cleaned up Derek's image in their minds but something was tugging at the back of her mind. Something she didn't know of, something she didn't take notice of.

"I'll go up to my room mum" she said and then left

"Do you think she's angry" Tricia asked Daksha

"Rani is sensible she'll understand that you did it for her sake. Go meet her and see if she needs help"

Tricia went to meet Addy and saw her taking off her clothes to shower.

"Addy?"

"It's fine Tricia I know you were just looking out for me but maybe you should've cleared your thoughts before accusing him, atleast you should've made sure your info was authentic and not half"

"I'm sorry"

"Yeah you should be, you know how my mother is, and you know how she gets worried over little things. Pretty sure your wrong information freaked her out that she couldn't even speak to me on the phone. Why did you go to her first, you could've called to tell me before meeting her and lying against Derek. I'm going to get married to him, how could you try to taint his image in front of my mother, Derek actually loves me so much yeah he said it to me that he loves me and you're trying to make my mother doubt Derek"

" I was worried for you, I didn't want to cause any disruption or doubts, I just said what I saw and even if I had called you, would you have come no you wouldn't have that's why I met with mother"

"Derek would never hurt me Tricia and maybe next time you see something, first confirm before speaking against the person. Please leave " Addy said pointing to the door and Tricia turned to leave only to hear Addy speak

"Tricia shut the door behind you"

Tricia's face crumbled, perhaps she thought Addy was going to stop her from leaving when she said her name. Tricia felt really bad, all she was doing was looking out for Addy but now she's been hurt and tears were freely flowing down her cheeks
