Chapter 154

The next day, Joseph left very early, he had a call from elder Maxwell. 

sleeping at night when he knows she is just next door sleeping alone is always worrisome.

most times the night could be so cold, the cold could get so intense before Dawn, he will just find himself turning around the house, not able to do anything till morning.

As he waited for Maxwell at the Cafe he asked him to wait, he could not help, but think back to Al what Doctor Walter said to him. He agreed within himself, not to rush Anna, she was going to forgive him soon, if all she would do was just talk to him freely, he was going to be happy to make that happen.

He almost went to her the previous night, after Walter had left, he could hear her crying, she must be missing her home so much, it was not easy to hide fr the world, whenever he hears her cry, he gets angry all the more, it was really disheartening to know that he is the one that cause her tears.

"Why is he taking so long? He muttered to himself, getting really uncomfortable, he continued to sip his coffee, he didn't want to finish it and end up asking for more, because he didn't like the coffee from that particular Cafe, but their cheese cake and smoothies were really good, it's just that it was too early to take things like that.

Maxwell finally walked in with his hood and a cap over his head, he still wears his disguise most times, especially when he was coming close to Town. Joseph remembered now that some persons years ago, have claimed to have seen him, Just like Tupac the musician, so many persons still claim they have seen him alive.

"What took you so long, I have been waiting for like forever?

"I am so sorry, I had to make a quick visit to your aunt.

"Has she forgiven you already? Joseph wanted to know, she was her distant aunt, and she had been really devastated when she found out her husband was dead, but she had known longer than any other person that he was not dead and yet she kept it away from everyone.

"you know she remarried, so we just do hide and seek whenever we get the chance.

Joseph looked around and bent his head over close to him.

"you mean, you are both still, doing it?

"That is not why I called, you messaged me last night, I was able to get in contact with Petranilla Peter Anderson.

I told her Anna wanted to see her daughter, she may not need to hold or touch her, Because she was worried, she didn't want to get into trouble, so I told her we could make it happen, she just needs to take her to a park or something, on a Sunday, maybe this Sunday and then you and Anna could come out in a disguise to watch, How about that.

"Oh my God Uncle, that would mean the world to her, thank you so very much.

"So how is she? He asked. Everybody was worried about her, he too was worried about her, he had never been so worried about someone before, the way the wind was blowing last night, he jumped up from his bed and almost rushed to her, but he was scared, she might misunderstand his motive, he didn't want to add to what was already on ground.

"She Is fine, but she may never forgive me.

Maxwell tapped his back and said "Common, don't worry about that, she will forgive you, that was how I begged for many years till your aunt finally forgave me, she knew it was not easy living with out me  and I don't blame her for remarrying, taking care of kids alone was no joke.

Joseph had other places to go to so, he shook hands with his uncle and left.

He was going to get her a phone with a new line, he could not wait to see her reaction when he comes back.

*******************************************

Anna woke up and rushed down, she woke earlier than usual, she was so hungry, she could not sleep the previous night, she was cold all through the night, for some weird reasons, she had wanted to rush to him, she just needed someone to hold her, but she didn't want him to misunderstand her or take advantage of it.

(When trust us broken, it is very hard, one needs to work too hard to get it back)

When she looked around, she notice his door was not locked, she knew she was not supposed to go into the room, but she just could not hold herself, she opened the door and laughed as to how messed up the room was, he could not do every thing at a time, she tried to arrange his bed a little so that it looks nice, but found something, her picture the same picture she had seen, the same one that was taken that night was just under his pillow, then she remembered his diary, she looked around and saw it in his night stand just laying there.

Anna took it down to make sure the door was locked, then she sat down comfortably and started reading.

she wanted to start from where she stopped, but she knew she would not have enough time, if only she had a phone with her, she would have taken pictures of the words, she flipped through to yesterday and it had so much write up.

"Dear diary, she made me laugh today, in a way I never thought I could. Her eyes are still as beautiful as always, but she is hurt, I pray she forgives me soon.

Anna rolled her eyes, it felt like she was seeing a movie, she moved on to the next write up.

She has finished the first plate and she demanded for another, I am worried about her, I don't want the babies to be too big and then give her issues during Labour, I won't give her anymore.

Now she could not stop laughing, but then the third test brought tears to her eyes.

Dear diary I guess she might forgive me, because for her to eat the food I made without fear, then soon real soon she will forgive me.

That is all I want.

(Guys please rate and review. Happy new year once again)
