Seducing My Heartless Husband

” This is not the right place nor time to talk about these things Martina.” her mother said sternly.

” When will the right time be mother. it’s been years why don’t you just tell me the truth. I need to understand whatever happened so I can know how to interact with my sister.” Martina insisted. she was determined to extract the truth from her mother today. come whatever may, she has to hear everything from her mother’s mouth.

” I’ll tell you when we get home.” her mother conceeded. She was very sure her daughter was not going to drop the matter until she spilled everything. She ofcourse understood the need to open up about her past to her daughter and clarify everything.

” Don’t go back on your words mom, am very much interested in you and father’s story.” Martina said and moved to snuggle in her mother’s arms.

” I never go back on my words.” her mother assured her.

” see yourself, behaving like a child when you are already so old.” her mother complained but still pulled her daughter close to herself.

The driver who had been observing the interaction between daughter and mother could tell that their relationship was very good.

He could see that they adored each other. He couldn’t help but envy their bond. He wished that his wife could be as gentle as this mother and treat their children nicely.

” You should consider getting yourself a man and get married soon.” Her mother said patting her head ever so gently.

” Don’t worry Mom, I know you are concerned about me but I have that in mind. After we relocate and I settle down, I’ll definitely find you a son in law to play chess with you.” Martina said smiling warmly.

She wasn’t bluffing nor pulling her mother’s legs, she had really thought about settling down and starting her own family as soon as she finds a stable job and reunites with her sister.

“I am glad you thought about that my daughter. it’s about time you also loosen up and experience life.” her mother chipped in.

The mother and daughter duo continued chatting amicably and didn’t even realize when the car arrived at their premises.

Martina had painstakingly worked hard to raise money and bought her mom a house. it wasn’t a fancy house but it was decent enough. it was a simple apartment of three bedrooms, a sitting room and a kitchen. The garden wasn’t that big but with the magical hands of her mother, it was transformed to a beautiful flower garden and a small farm where her mother planted Vegetables.

Her mother loved eating fresh vegetables so when Martina was looking for a house, she had specifically said that a garden should be included.

” ma’am we are here.” The driver politely reminded the two who were so engrossed in their conversation to realize the car had come to a stop.

Martina was the first to step down with the carrier bag and helped her mother out. She then offered the taxi driver few notes and instructed him to keep the change as his tip for driving them home safely. Thanking the lady who not only looked beautiful but also kind, he sped away.

Martina helped her mother to the house and ensured she was settled in the sitting room before going to the kitchen to prepare something for them to eat.

It was past lunch by the time they arrived and she was sure her mother was hungry by now.

She decided to whip something simple for them.

The kitchen was well stocked with everything, she took the rice cooker and started preparing to cook the rice. she’ll will be making fried rice and veggies. She also warmed the porridge she cooked in the morning.

In less than one hour, the food was ready. She served the dishes and placed them on the dining table.

She found that her Mom had decided to take a nap by the sofa but she knew that she couldn’t let her sleep on an empty stomach so she woke her up.

The family of two had dinner peacefully. Martina was responsible for the house chores now that her mother wasn’t fully back to her feet.

she washed the dishes, dried them and stored them.

She went back to the sitting room to find her mother engrossed watching a reality show. Martina had in mind to continue with the conversation they had left hanging. she was hellbent on finding the truth about her mother’s story.

” Mom do you mind if we continue where we stopped. You promised that you would tell me the truth.” she started.

” Couldn’t you atleast wait until the show is over?’ her mother reprimanded her but knowing her daughter, she knew that she’ll not rest until she got her questions answered.

” No mom, I just want to know everything that happened in the past and you promised to tell me about it.” Martina said blinking her eyes innocently.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

” Okay, where do we start?” her mother asked.

” How you start by telling me about your love story with my father.” Martina said excitedly. she couldn’t wait to hear how her parents met and how they ended up having the two of them. Her eyes were twinkling with anticipation.

” You are just interested to hear gossip aren’t you.” her mother reprimanded but with a smile.

” How is that considered to be gossip? I just want to know my parents more.” Martina justified herself while in real sense she just wanted to get first hand gossip about their’ love affair.’

” Your father and I met when I was just twenty years Old. My mother then was sick so I had dropped from school to look for a job. I got a job as a waiter in one of the cafes where your father was studying. He was in his last year in the university. He used to come to that cafe frequently in the evening and that’s how we came to know each other and got acquainted.” She narrated.
