The plot to get Amanda back
Mrs Brown cleared her throat and changed her voice, she sounded like she would break down.
"My daughter, I know I am the last person, you want to hear from right now, but please do not hang up".
Amanda wasn't planning to hang up on a woman that used to be her mother inlaw, that would be disrespectful.
She recognized her voice, though she doesn't have her number anymore.
Since they rejected her, she deleted all that have to do with them.
"I am not planning to hang up on you, I am not that disrespectful, so you can say what you want to say".
She spoke firmly, trying really hard not to think of all the cruel things this same woman. on the other line did to her.
She was supposed to be like a mother to her, but she taunted her for everything she did and the things she did not do.
And then Sonia that she was looking up to as a friend, had to be the one to pull the trigger on her.
Maybe she never really had a friend from that house, they were all her enemy.
Goodluck has been right all along, they are the devil, and she just keeps falling into their traps.
"I am actually calling to apologise for everything we did, you deserve better, being with people like us, is not what you need".
Dave was shocked at what his mother is saying.
He had to get up from his seat, to stare into her eyes.
Is she trying to be another Josh in his life?
But she seem to know what she is doing, for she raised her hands to stop him from over reacting.
"You are right about that, I also should not be talking to you, for you are all not good people, and evil is contagious".
Mrs Brown smiles, she would have been angry, but no matter what she says to her, she is right.
"My child, you are right, but I just want to beg you for something, I will like to see you and give you something that belonged to Sonia, I found it in her room, under her bed, I think it would be nice if you see it too.
Also I will like to apologise again, after hearing me out, whatever you plan to do, you are free".
Amanda was quiet for a long while, she didn't want to act like she haven't forgiven her, and she really did not want to see her, but just for her own peace of mind, she decided to attend to her.
"I will be discharged this evening, my family will come and get me, so if you must see me, this is the only chance you have, for if you don't come now, I don't think you will be allowed to see me again.
My house is out of bounds for anybody coming from that part of the country".
Mrs Brown smiles and says.
"That means a lot to me, I am on my way".
Amanda hung up before she would change her mind.
She doesn't know if she is making the right decision to have agreed to see her, but whatever the case may be, she should totally get it over with, once and for all.
She thought of Goodluck and tears rolled down her cheek, for she doesn't know how to explain to him that what he saw, has nothing to do with her.
Dave on the other hand, wanted to know what his mother have in mind to tell Amanda, he wouldn't like anything to go wrong, so while his mother was gathering her things and getting ready to leave, he asked.
"What do you have planned?
I want to know everything, you cannot make any mistake, and you know she is still angry with us, so what ever she says, just act humble, please I beg you".
Mrs Brown have never see her son so desperate before, she nodded her head in agreement.
"Don't worry son, I came here to help you and I will help you, if Amanda is what will make you happy, then I don't mind the insult, I will try and get her for you".
Dave didn't look so convinced, he wanted to know more, he wanted to know everything, so he asked.
"So what is it that you want to give to her, that belongs to Sonia, was that something you made up?
Mrs Brown laughed so loud, that she sat back on the couch.
"This is what I want to give to her, and I have read it, it has a lot to do with Sonia's guilt, I think Amanda should see this, it also has write-ups that will favour you, but I know this is not what you want, but it is what Amanda would need.
Then I have a plan to make her visit you sooner than you think".
Once again Dave got up in a hurry to hug his mother, but he still wants to know what the plan is, so he asked.
"Tell me mother, I want to know everything".
"Well I am sorry I cannot tell you anything, because I don't know the plan yet, but when I get there, and see the situation of things, I will know what to say".
Dave wasn't quite convinced, he knows his mother never goes out unprepared, so he tried to press further, for her to tell him what it is she has in mind, but she spoke in a blackmailing tone.
"If you don't let me be now, I might have to just go back to my house, because, you know I don't like being interrogated like this.
Besides you heard her, she would be discharged today, so if I stay here and converse with you, and she leaves, then you will have to figure out a way to solve the problem yourself".
Dave felt terrible, so he moved away, making way for her to get through.
When his mother moved aside, he waved at her, and begged her to keep him in touch.
She nodded her head and left, before he will say any other thing.
