A change of heart

As some days passed by, Redeemer went home and faced his parents with the perspective of going to change their minds! 

Upon his arrival, his father was already in the living room waiting for him, his mother joined later, and they started talking about his girlfriend, Justina! They were still insisting that he should leave the girl!

His mom said, "I don't understand why you're being so stubborn, Redeemer! You are a rich man now, and you want to marry someone from a lower social class! It's unacceptable!"

Redeemer's jaw clenched as he struggled to contain his anger! "You are not listening, Mother! I love her! Social class doesn't matter to me!"

And he continued, "You think I just made it in the city, Mummy and Daddy, right? Then that's a lie! It was through this girl that I became rich!"

The parents were confused and asked him what he meant! He started narrating, telling them how he met her at a party where he was a waiter and had mistakenly poured a drink on a woman's dress!

"If it wasn't for this girl I want to marry, who paid for my bills, I would have been jailed or something because I didn't have money to pay for the dress!"

"She continued and gave me a job to do! Gradually, I fell for her, and here we are now! I want to marry her, but you don't want to accept!"

"The money you have been spending and using for your projects is all from her account! But here you sit, condemning her!"

After speaking, he left the house in his new Land Cruiser Prada without delivering the foodstuffs he bought for his parents! 

As he drove away from his parents' house, Redeemer felt a sense of freedom that he had never experienced before!

He was finally taking control of his life, making his own decisions, and fighting for what he truly wanted! 

When he got home, he hugged Justina with all his love and told her, "With or without my parents, we will get married, whether they bless our marriage or not!"

He then took Justina's hand and walked outside to the garden! They sat down on a bench, and Redeemer turned to Justina with a smile!

He started making arrangements to go and meet Justina's parents, and he had a call from his father, requesting him to come home immediately! He didn't want to go, but his wife told him to because they didn't know what the father had planned!

So, he planned to go the following day! On the new day, Redeemer drove his car back to his father's house, and immediately, his parents saw him, they begged for forgiveness and requested to return with him and beg Miss Justina too!

He agreed, and they went! As soon as they saw the humble Justina, they went down on their knees and asked for forgiveness, and she told them to stand up!

Redeemer said, "I am so glad everything worked out! I don't know what I would have done if my parents hadn't accepted you!" Redeemer's eyes shone with happiness as he spoke!

They all went inside and ate lunch together! After eating, they began to talk about Justina's family and planned the date they would visit her parents! 

As time went on, the day for the knocking stage came, and they visited Justina's family! They were welcomed nicely!
