Her diary
Mrs Brown sat in her car, and took out a mirror to wipe off her makeup.
She wanted attract pity from whoever she will meet there.
She is worried about the outcome of her journey, she silently prayed for the first time, that she doesn't meet any of her family members there.
She remembered when Dave stabbed himself and was on the hospital, she was very rude to her brother, though he fought back, she feels that now that she is the one going there, she might not be allowed to see Amanda, if her brother is there.
Dave was watching his mother from the window, and wondering why she was still in the garage.
When he was about opening his door to go check if she was changing her mind already, she drove off.
On her way, she was so worried that she might fail her son, that for the first time, she cried.
She really doesn't want to loose his son, he has a fragile heart, he might end up wanting to take his own life, if things are not done the way he wants them to be done.
He thought of the kind of lie she would tell Amanda, so that she feels pity for Dave maybe come back to him, on her own.
After all, he is her husband and they were only separated, she is still his wife.
She started practicing in the car, while driving.
"Hi dear, you know my son loves you, he never loved Tracy, it was just that he didn't know what to believe".
She shook her head.
No that would not work, she would be angry that he doesn't believe her, and she is now with someone that believes her.
She thought of another plan.
"Tracy used something on Sonia, to make her do what she did, as a matter of fact, she used some charm on us all, and we fell".
She shook her head again knowing that it wouldn't work.
for her to come up with a lie that would work, it has to be something that would work even for her, if she is ever told such.
As she drove into the hospital ground, she saw the nurses carrying a sick man, there is a man and another woman following the stretcher that is used to carry the sick man away, and just then, Mrs Brown came up with the perfect plan, she is going to claim that her son is suffering from a deadly disease, and she is the only one that can help him.
She should spend the rest of his days with him, so that he has only happy memories of what the life looked like.
That seem like a perfect plan and she was so happy to see how well it would play out.
A nurse directed her to where Amanda is and she was glad that no one was with her.
She was breast feeding her daughter, when Mrs Brown walked in wearing a broad smile.
"Oh, look how cute she is!
She praised, trying to act as though they have been friends before now.
Amanda didn't know how to pretend, so she didn't smile.
Not even on the day she was exchanging vows with Dave did she see her mother inlaw smile.
She was keeping a straight face and looking all angry.
So many person's saw through her, and could only wish that there won't be any future problems, but the future was already too bleak that she didn't waste time, before her sorrows started.
"Good day ma".
She managed to greet her.
"Oh my child, you have done very well, and to think that you pushed this big baby, when people would have thought that you would have another section".
Amanda is not sure if she is mocking her or praising her, she didn't really care, she used to her already.
Baby Star started sleeping and Amanda had to get up from the bed to lay her on her crib.
That has been the only thing she has been doing.
She cries, eat and sleep.
Initially she used to smile, but since Goodluck left in anger, Star haven't played the way she used to.
"I know we wronged you, but please forgive us.
I take all the blame, if I had only treated you as a daughter, I don't think my daughter would have thought of plotting evil against you, with that daughter of Jazebel.
But you have always had a pure heart, just find it in your heart to forgive me and my daughter that have left this world already.
Though she has served her punishment, she will still want you to forgive her, please find it in your heart to forgive her, I beg you".
Amanda tried to smile, but it gave way to her tears instead.
She hates the fact that she is never
able to hold her tears, even in front of those that she is not supposed to cry to, she will still end up crying.
"I have forgiven her, and I don't see her as an enemy, I never saw her as one, so I won't start now that she is dead.
Though I would have loved to hear from her, but that is impossible, I guess".
She wiped her tears, while Mrs Brown handed her the diary.
"I found this in her room, well hidden under her bed, I read it, and I couldn't stop crying, I think you should read it too, it might have answers that you seek".
Amanda took the diary and thanked her nonverbally.
She kept the diary close to her bed, and waited for the next statement that is about to come out from Mrs Brown.
She could see that she has another thing to say, though she is hoping it has nothing to do with what happened between she and Dave, as a matter of fact, she doesn't want to talk about Dave.
She saw her move backwards thinking she is trying to find herself a seat to relax, but she went down on her knees and that shocked Amanda, for she had to sit up to get a clear view of what is happening.
"What are you doing Mrs Brown?
She asked, for it isn't right for an elder to knee for a younger person, so she looked shocked, but her next statement shocked her even more...
"I know I shouldn't be asking for favours, I don't deserve any, but I have one favour to beg of you".
Amanda is scared, for she is not sure, she will be able to grant her the favour she seeks.
"What is that?
She asked her, with her eyes fixated on her, she looked too scared.
