PIZZA GIRL
DIANA
“I always felt mother was up to no good and that’s why I found it so hard to forgive her.” I said to Isaac as we walked back into the mansion.
This time lot of guest had arrived and I could even sight that arrogant bastard in the congregation.
“I understand how you feel Diana. But always know she is still your mother, you can’t change that.” He said and I sighed.
“Why do this night have to be awful? What is that Bastard doing here?” I asked staring at the guy.
“That’s Enoch.” He said and I looked at him in surprise.
“How did you get to know his name? Did you talk already?” I asked and he shook his head.
“Not really. The woman that was with me, is his mother.” He said and I looked at him.
“What does she want from you?” I asked and he smiled.
“Nothing. She just wanted to talk, and I also needed someone to talk you. You know very well I know no one here.” He said and I nodded.
“Hope she didn’t say awful things like her son?” I asked and she shook her head.
“Not at all. She is nothing like her son. I wonder where he got such disgusting character from.” He said and I looked up to see Mother approach us.
“Hey Diana.” She said smiling widely. To be truthful, she looked very beautiful.
“Hi.” I replied coldly recalling all father had told me.
“Hi Ma’am.” Isaac greeted and she smiled at him before facing me.
“I have been looking for you, where were you?” She asked and I smriked.
“You don’t have to look for me. Your family is here.” I said and she sighed.
“I should excuse you.” Isaac said and before I could stop him he left. He knew I would say no. So he left very fast.
“Diana..” she called and I cut her short.
“Can we talk outside?” I asked and she sighed looking around.
“Oh, you don’t have five minutes to spare for your abandoned daughter, or you are embarrassed they will see me with you.” I said and she shook her head.
“Come.” She said holding my hand and pulling me out of the house.
“We can talk here.” She said and I nodded.
“I will ask you few questions and I will be so happy if you replied honestly.” I said and she nodded smiling.
“Go on Diana.” She said.
“Why did you cheat on Father?” I asked and her eyes widened. She looked around moving closer to me.
“Where did you hear that from?” She asked staring into my eyes.
“That wasn’t the reply of my question. Did you cheat on Father?” I asked and she swallowed hard looking away.
“I guess that’s true.” I said as tears heat my eyes.
“Diana.” She called but I shook my head.
“My next question.” I said and she bowed her head.
“So you actually left me with Mom because you wanted to move in with your lover, and then you kept telling me you had a misunderstanding which father didn’t want to settle. Is that right?” I asked in a shaky voice and she looked at me.
“Jacob is here.” She said looking around.
“I don’t care. So you were actually telling me lies right? You made me believe it was Father’s fault. You wanted me to develop hatred for him. Why?”
“Why would you do that? Why did you leave him? When you knew you didn’t love him, why did you give him a child knowing you won’t keep her with you when the time comes?” I asked in tears and she began to cry too.
“Diana I’m sorry.” She mumbled.
“No you aren’t. You have want you wanted. A beautiful mansion, lovely beautiful and handsome kids. You don’t need me.” I said and she shook her head moving her hand to my face.
“Diana.” I heard father call. He stood afar staring at his and mother turned to look at the caller. Then she saw it was father and she became dumbfounded.
I looked at both of them and wondered how beautiful it would be if they were together. If mother didn’t go for someone else.
“Hi Peace.” Father said walking to us.
“Jacob what are you doing here?” She asked angrily.
“He came to see me. Is there anything wrong about that? At least he didn’t cause all this. You did.” I said angrily and father held my hand.
“It’s fine Diana. Things happen for a reason.” He said and I tried calming down.
“Diana please can you listen to my side too? I know I am at fault, but please hear me out.” She said.
“We need the celebrant on stage. Mother where are you?” We heard Trox say from inside.
“Go In, your children needs you.” I said walking away with Dad.
“I should leave now.” He said as we walked in.
“Why?” I asked.
“She doesn’t want me here. But trust me,I will come visiting often now. Now I know you don’t hate me.” He said and I smiled.
“I love you father.” I said hugging him and he kissed my head.
