But the problem was that I was the only one who perceives it, though it was clean, the smell never left. So later in the evening, Mom met aunty Paula in the kitchen to discuss the outcome of our discussion.
"My dear friend, we have discussed, I mean, Damian and I have discussed about what I told you."
"Yes? What did her say? Did I not tell you that he wl mot accept that, tell me."
Aunty Paula said to fiercely, more like she was ready to attack even before she finishes or started, but mom rather disappointed her with the revelation.
"He has accepted, he said that he will like to go anywhere, the poor boy is even mentally affected by all of this, I wish there is anything that I can do to save him of this predicament, I wish I could make him normal, I can trade anything to have my son happy again, to have him become like he used to be before he found out about his true identity. I solemnly believe that my union with Mr. Matt could help, I think that all he needs is a father figure, he needs to know that there is a man who will always protect him come what may, he is my little boy, it hurt me to see him in pains and regrets, regrets for thing he knows nothing about, please, Paula I need your support in this, please, do not take like i want to leave your house for any reason, I am doing this for two reasons, for your good and for the good of my son, you know that he is my only one, he is all that I got, I will literally die if anything happens to him."
Mom said with tears running down her cute back face.
"My dear, I understand you, it's just that I fear for you, this does not sound like a good idea to me at all, giving him the conviction that Damian is his son is a very bad idea, you knowww what they say about secrets, nothing is hidden under the sun, one day the truth will come out, and I fear for your fate when the truth comes out."
Aunty Paula said.
"Yeah, by then I just oray that they must have left my son alone. You don't get it, do you? I honestly do not care about anything that might happen today or tomorrow, all I care for is my son, as far as he is safe and comfortable, anything can come to me, even death."
Mom said, she said this and aunty Paula quicky hushed her.
"Shhh!!! Dong you ever say that again, I don't ever want to hear you say anything concerning death, is that clear?"
Aunty Paula said.
"Madam, I am not dying, I don't mean the real death, even me I don't want to did, why am I protecting him for, is it not so that I will enjoy his company for ever? So why will I now die?"
Mom asked hilariously and they all bust into laughter.
"But for a fact, please give me your blessing, because we plan to leave tomorrow morning, I already called him and told him that we are coming over tomorrow, he was so excited, and I also called office sick, so tomorrow morning we will be leaving."
Mom said.
"What? Tomorrow? Are you serious? What do you meant to be tomorrow, is that how you do things? Common friend, I do not know you as an impromptu person, you have always planned your thing, what is the call for all of this desperation, you know that I do not complain about the happening in this house of this house, i definitely know that your boy is equall to the task, those things can not stand him, they are only wasting their time. So dear, please just know that my home is your home, 'Mi casa us casa'"
Aunty Paula said and they both laughed at her Spanish.
"But for a fact, I am scared for you, I hate to say this, but I see this ending bad, I just don't see a happy ending in this."
Aunty Paula added
"My dear, Like I have told you before I am not doing this for any happy ending, my only happy ending is with my sweet heartbreak."
Mom said and they both laughed again, well, after a long conversation they both came to an agreement, which was than mom and I will come back to their place of we found that place uncomfortable, mom actually agreed with the decision. They also agreed that they were going to tell Mr. Bright about our leaving at the dinner, they know that the poor man will take that as a shock, but mom and I had already made up our mind, after all, his daughter is literally kicking us out If her father's house.
So, after the meal preparation, the two ladies with Cynthia who assisted them served the meal and placed them at the dinner table where they later call me to join and also called Mr. Bright who also came out in his white singlet and black sweatpants, they made white rice and catfish pepper soup, mom knows that I do not eat cat fish, in fact there is no way that I can stand to see someone eat fish, yeah, they made a stew and beef for me, but they expected me to sit with them as they devour fishes, its actually disgusting, I wonder why I get that feeling, hate seeing dead fishes I get this feeling which I only understood after my physical visit into the sea. The worst feeling is seeing people eat fish, so annoying, now mom who knows me very well wants me to sit at the dining table with them, she knows that was definitely impossible, there was no way that I can eat in the same table where fishes are eaten
