Why are you looking that way”Helen asked curiously.Tears were already gathering in David eyes as he spoke, it’s my mom and dad, I overheard themarguing about meIwarnedyoutostoptrespassing,whywouldyoubelisteningtoadultconversations?Helenasked David as she tried to wipe tears that had escaped his eyes “She hates me very much, not only me mum Helen,
(Mom Helen was the name David was used to in Addressing his Aunty Helen).
She hates my daddy and me
And I made her hate him more.
I heard her said she only married dad for his money.
And that I ruined her life, and that my daddy should have just adopted a child instead of me.
Your mother was only joking, maybe your dad got her angry your mom loves you, I love you and
so does your dad,
Helen said trying to comfort him
Later at night,
Helen went to meet Belinda in her room; she wanted to talk to her about David.
Please Belinda, I need to talk to you about David, she said when she got to Belinda’s room.
This morning He overheard you and my brother arguing about your relationship.
He heard you said you married his father because of his money, and that you never wanted to have
him, that you hate him
Belinda, David is still a child, but he understands whatever is going on in this house, and it’s not
fare, You are his mother, and he needs you so much. He needs motherly care and love; and nobody is in the best position to give him that but you.
Helen spoke calmly to her hoping she would be a human for once
Belinda who was sitting angrily stood up and was facing Helen directly.“How dare you tell me how to handle my own child”?
He needs motherly love, are you already tired of playing the motherly part?
If you are then no one is forcing you to continue.
Now I know why your husband left you for another woman, barren woman like you.
You are not even woman enough to have your own child and you don’t even know how to mind your own business.
You can go to hell if you don’t like the way I treat David for all I care, Belinda responded.
Helen stood for sometime as though trying to digest what Belinda had said to her.
Excuse me; I would not take another insult from you Belinda or whatever you called yourself.
I agree I am a barren woman
But this barren woman here had a child which she loved with all her heart,
He only died. And point of correction my husband did not dump me, I dumped him, Helen responded angrily.
“Whatever, that’s your own business not mine, dumped or not dumped” Belinda said and went back to her seat.
HmmvictorwhatkindofawomandidyouendupwithasawifeHelenaskedherselfasshe
walked out from the room.
When Helen came out of the room, she saw David standing and looking at her.“What did she say to you”
David asked curiously
Nothing much,I just talkedto her aboutyou and toldher to stopscaring you and that she should
learn to love you, Helen responded
Did she accept? David asked
I think she is going to think about it, Helen said leading David to his room
Mom Helen,
When I grow up I will never marry a woman that does not love me and won’t love my son
Iwillalsonotgetmarried a womanwhowants to marry me becauseofmy money,Iwillnever
marry a woman like my mom who dislikes my daddy and I, David said.
Oh David,
Your momlovesyou; it’s just that she is having some problems and things she does not want tolet go ; Helen said as she bent down and cupped David’s face tenderly
No my mummy doesn’t love me I know that.
I see how Harrison’s mother treats him she always play with him and buy him gifts
My mother doesn’t even remember my birthday, she does not even buy me gifts I know she doesn’t like me I’ve heard her say that several times,
David said slowly, with hurt written all over his face.
The next day,
Belinda was in the garden when Agnes her friend showed up. “Queen Belinda, how are you doing her majesty”? Agnes greeted with her head down jokingly.
I am fine my friend, you just forgot me, Belinda responded
HABBA, Agnes exclaimed, why would I forget you, I can forget any other person but not you, I can see you are living a fulfilled life over here.
You said a fulfilled Life? Belinda asked
There is nothing like that my friend, she said shaking her head in disapproval.

He should be nine no I think he is ten or twelve, Belinda respond with total confusion writing all over her.
Belinda, you are impossible? You can’t remember how old your son is?
Ok by the way where is he? I got him something from the state.
He should be with his aunty, I have not seen him today just keep it I would give it to him later.
So how have you been doing over there, Belinda asked trying to change their conversation….
