A Bitter Experience .....Four

Thanks for following my story, you can check out the previous story Here.

When I got home, I realized that Mrs. Autom had given my siblings something to eat and she had played cartoon for them to watch. I was really excited and when I thanked her, she explained to me that she was only an old woman who had always wanted to have people especially little children around her, so she was happy to have us. She told me not to bother to sweep the house anymore because of she had someone who does that for her already, so I just gave the person nothing to do when I cleaned the house that morning.

On my way home from work, I had gone to the market to purchase gas cooker, some cooking utensils and another foodstuff with the money given to me by my boss. My mum returned home from the market with some things she bought after she made sales from her fish selling business.

One fateful day, I got back home from work and I found a strange car in the compound, as usual, I went to Mrs. Autom's apartment to inform her about my return and to as well pick up my siblings.When I got there I found a young man sitting with her and I greeted him, Mrs. Automm introduced him as her son and I greeted him again and thanked him for the accommodation his mother provided for us. He smiled and said you are welcome dear.

I took my siblings and went into our own apartment so I could wash their uniform and prepare dinner before my Mum arrives from work.

I continued with my usual daily activity and Mrs. Autom's son began to visit our apartment whenever I returned from work with a claim to confirm if all was well with us, he gave us money and some other necessary gifts sometimes which I usually do not accept because I have a mindset that they have given us more than enough already.

He came home with a very pretty lady one day and I really admired her, he told me that he came back from the united state to get married to her and they could travel out of the country to get settled later. I had seen that lady's face somewhere before but I could not just remember, after a while, I ignored the feeling and I just concluded that maybe my mind was going too far.

Mrs. Autom, however, confided in me during one of those times when she just calls me because she needed someone to talk to or share her experience with, that she does not like the young lady her son was about to get married to but she does not have the right to dictate to him whom he should marry, so whatever will give him happiness is what she will allow him to do. I told her to just keep her mind at rest and continually pray for him that he will not regret his actions.

Thanks for the constant visitation.
