Richard stop doing this to yourself’
Tare took the drink from his hand. It was obvious he had been drinking.Empty bottles of bear la!d helplessly on the ground.
You don’t know how I feel Tee.All my life have been living in lies and do you know the person that has been feeding me with this lies? my most valued treasure on earth.
Shhhh…you don’t have to get yourself drunk .
Remember thesame thing happened to me.
Yours is different. .atleast you get to know who your biological parents are,unlike me.where will I start from?
You shouldn’t forget your mother loves you,she did it out of love.please Rich,you have to let go of this pain and forgive her.
I don’t know where to start from. .am so confuse.I don’t even know who I am.
She took his hands in hers.
A mother dosen’t necessarily mean the person that carried you in her womb. She natured you,even if she made mistakes by keeping you instead of looking for your biological parents. But think of how you would have survived if she hadn’t saved you?
Tears trickled down Richard’s eyes.
It’s okay Rich,am here for you anytime.
She enveloped him in her arms as he sobbed louder.

He didn’t know what to do anymore,she had locked herself in her room for 2days.
Maggie please open the door,crying your eyes out won’t make your son forgive you..please.
You live me with no choice to break this door.
Just then the door flew open and she walked out looking pale and sick.
Look at what you have done to yourself.
I don’t wanna loose my son,I just don’t want to be childless again.I can’t bear it.
She said and broke into fresh tears.
It’s okay dear,you won’t loose Richard. We both know how much he loves you,he just needs time.You have cried enough please stop hurting yourself.
He pulled her into his arms’
Do you think Richard will ever forgive me?
Am sure of it he will’
