LOVE TRAIN: """MY FATHER'S WIFE""" ...Season 2 EPISODE 22B

If i ever was to make a list of the things i regret in life, Nancy would be second to Amanda’s in the list for sure.
“this lady here, Amanda was your aunty’s bossom friend, i have known her for more than 5years now and as you already know happens to be the mother of your fiance’s son”
My mouth felt dry like i have been on a desert far too long, the house closed in all around me threatening to crush me in.
“But mum she was the one that seduced him, this woman is a devil!!! ” chioma shrieked pointing at Amanda who did nothing but smile, her gaze fixed on me showing little interest to what transpired between chioma and her parents.

“Sweety, i am a senior pastor/evangelist in church, a nationwide renowned christian leader and preacher. I wouldn’t go down the pot of scandal by having my daughter marry a man who already have a child by another, what would the world think, what would God think, what would the church think of me- that i am a leader that doesn’t lead by example? -Chioma i won’t allow that”
I fidgeted where i stood while chioma’s mother recounted her reasons for objecting. Church, God and the people.
“And am sure he didn’t tell you he was the one that broke your aunty Nancy’s marriage” Chioma’s mum cursed on loudly, her husband doing occasional adjustment of both his bold medicated crystal eye glass to his whole frame resting on the sofa looking on at his wife, but never failed to nod as she spoke on.
“What happened to Nancy’s marriage?
And what has it got to do with me? ”
My mind snapped but i wouldn’t dare ask, seems everything i say or do made matters worse than they were in the first place.
Like the police always asserts; “whatever you say will be used against you in the court of law.
That was exactly the position i found my self in.
I could notice chioma’s gazed shifted from her mum to me, it wasn’t the look of anger and frustration she had anymore but an innate curiosity and confused eyes ladened in swirling questions.
Little did she know that even i was even more confused than her as things stood.
“Excuse me ma, but i have no idea what you are talking about here” i tried mustering up some defence, its obvious Amanda have fed them some glaring lies they find too hard to deny.
“I said shut up and don’t bring that lying tongue up here again” she countered almost immediately inducing another wicked sneer from Amanda.
“I am tired of all this” Chioma yelled out stamping her feet many times of the ground, her face turned almost as red as the rose designs on her top.
“common lets get out of here sky” she intoned dragging me by the hand making for the door.
“And where do you think you are going young lady” her father said standing up taking a couple of steps towards us.
“Don’t you dare step out of this house with him” her mum chipped in pointing furiously at Chioma.
“I am going with him and nothing you say can stop me, i won’t stand here i watch you ruin my happiness”
She sang back to her mother, the teary mark on her face showing a pale track through her make-up but none dropped again.
“If you leave this house, don’t come back here again ” her mum chipped in throwing a stern look at me instead of her, could see chioma’s dad take a sharp look at his wife who seemed more interested in her threat than any other thing that went on around.
“For your information mum, since you haven’t noticed – i am carrying his child”
I watched as chioma’s mother’s face grew pale, her father’s mouth dropped open and Amanda’s eyes widened hard.
“what? – is that why you have been avoiding me all in this house all this while” she asked in surprise, her pointing fingers already dropped and was now open like the congregation saying ‘our lord’s prayer’ during mass.
Chioma scoffed hard, rolled her eyes and turned towards me again.
“Common baby lets get out of here”
I followed her glancing back just in time to see her mum slumping her weight down into a sofa with her hands on her head.
Chioma’s breathe grazed my cheek, my face was buried deep in my palms and her hands across my shoulder.
“Sky please tell me, what happened with aunty nancy, what is mum talking about?
“Honestly i have no idea what they are talking about”
