Chapter 149: Chapter 149
“Sorry, I have work to attend to excuse me.” Jhonia said cutting Kyhe who was getting ready to call her, Jhoni-ni. Kyhe rushed to call security while Jhonia left his office. Security department answer to Kyhe.
"Come here now!" Kyhe said over the phone and turned around.
"Jhonia I ha- where is she?" Kyhe asked but she wasn't there.
"You got some fucking nerves coming back here after what you did to him, I was silent not because I wanted to but because Jhonia is yet to see me this side of me. Now, I'm not going to tell you how much time you have to leave this office. God so help you, not! When you're falling from this office." Kuwain said walking over to her and saying to her, while he was angry but Kyhe was busy wondering where Jhonia went! Back from his trance with Jhonia who spelled her name in a tone Kyhe recognise as Jhoni-ni voice tone. He noticed Kuwain going at Elenia and rushed over gripping his arm.
"Don't be angry for me, and for Jhonia. I don't know what she's up to but I'm going to let mom know she offended Jhonia. Let mom handle it." Kyhe said to Kuwain holding him back Elenia stood with her mouth open looking at both of them in surprise.
“I am right here, and I have not offended anyone. Your mother will not believe it Kyhe, she knows me and my family too well!” Elenia said to him, defending herself telling them Mrs. Knight won't believe them because she knows her and family, Mrs. Knight entered the office.
“What won't I believe?” Mrs. Knight asked as she heard Elenia saying the ending lines to her sentences.
“I”
“Where is Jhonia?” Mrs. Knight cut her off asking for Jhonia! She was surprised and even now more worried than she was before.
"She's at her desk working, didn't you see her?" Kyhe responded to her and then asked. Elenia was wondering if she was wrong coming back thinking Kyhe would always be hers.
“I'm sorry, mom. Why do you seek this Jhonia girl?” Elenia gets everyone's attention and calls Mrs. Knight mom, then asks.
“Oh, that's very simple. When she divorce she will marry Kyhe, and don't call me mom. I don't want Jhonia to have the wrong idea. Speaking of wrong ideas, what wouldn't I believe?” Mrs. Knight surprisingly responded to her and explained to her Jhonia will marry Kyhe after she divorce, then explain she doesn't want Jhonia getting the wrong idea then ask.
"Jhonia seemed offended by her, who came here saying you told her to send Kyhe's lunch. Who knows what she cooks up to give Kyhe? She even called Kyhe the B word and Jhonia left immediately. She didn't look happy and there goes Kyhe's chance that I asked for." Kuwain said, explaining what Elenia said to them about Kyhe's lunch, then asked. Kuwain said not repeating the word babe and that Jhonia left immediately after and there goes the chance he asked for, for Kyhe.
“Elenia. Is this true? I have not and neither did your family. When you left my son heartbroken to chase a dream, you came back without. I will not tolerate you coming between Jhonia and Kyhe, if she's ready and willing to give him a chance I will not stand by and watch you destroy it.” Mrs. Knight called her and asked, and she then proceeded with explaining her memory is still active on what she did to Kyhe for a dream she's still without. Telling her she would not sit still if she ‘Elenia’ tries to get between Kyhe and Jhonia if she decides to give him a chance as she won't allow her to destroy it.
“No, it's not true. But... Yes, I called him babe and she explained she has work to attend to. I didn't do anything and I didn't offend her. I met her first in the hospital. I came here with good intentions Mrs. Knight I love Kyhe and he is the only man I have ever loved. I stayed working hard and have not mingled with any man and now I have come back for him. But then Kuwain is saying I offended someone I don't even know that well.” She responded to Mrs. Knight's question and said. Then she claimed she did called Kyhe babe and Jhonia left for work. She explains that she didn't offend her, explaining how they first met and how she comes with good intentions as she loves and will only love Kyhe. Who is staring at her along with Kuwain they definitely do not trust her, she claims she didn't mingle with any man and returns to be at Kyhe's side but Kuwain is lying to her about offending someone she doesn't know.
“I don't care about you not dating or this so called love, that love should have made you stay at his side instead of running off without not even a goodbye 7 years without a single letter or call back home you left him hurt. He went to college when and even if he didn't want to still, he turned out good just look at him. Now, you fail so you run back home thinking he would still be waiting for you. I think not! He has someone so much better to chase and I will help him chase her to the end of the earth whether she's right for him or not.”
Mrs. Knight said to her and reminded her that seven years passed without a letter or a phone call but now she returned after leaving him, because of hurt. regardless he didn't go to college, he still turned out well as she told her to look at him. Mrs. Knight's eyes filled with tears as she speaks then sends Kyhe is now chasing someone much better and she's going to help him chase her whether Jhonia is right for Kyhe or not. Kyhe and Kuwain stood shocked as did Jhonia who returned and is standing outside and over her ending line.
“I'm sorry that I left without saying goodbye but I'm back and I'm not going anywhere Mrs. Knight, I came to fit the piece back together.” Elenia said to her with tears in her eyes.
“Seven years is seven years too long.” Mrs. Knight said to her. Jhonia knocked on the door twice.
"Come in." Kuwain said and Jhonia entered pretending to be surprised.
“Mrs. Knight, what brings you here?” Jhonia addresses her and asks with a smile that fooled everyone.
"Mom, come for you obviously. But... Mom, can we speak for a moment." Kyhe said responding to Jhonia, with a but he took a moment to take his mother aside from them.
“What happened, why is the atmosphere so tense?” Jhonia asked as Kyhe took his mother aside.
"Mom, today is Jhonia's birthday. Wait before you hit me! I just found out from Kuwain because I had accidentally destroyed her file without looking I poured water on it." Kyhe said giving his mother a smile on her but he thought she was going to smack him for just telling her so he quickly explained it to her but his facial expression showed his mother there is more to it.
“What is the matter son?” Mrs. Knight asks with concern looking at him.
He looked over at Jhonia standing with Kuwain and Elenia, Jhonia looked at him and smiled, his sadness disappeared and his mother who noticed watched closely. Kyhe was so deeply in love with her that he didn't realize it. A small smile from her changed his mood.
“Where does happiness go?” His mother asked, after his mood change.
"Mom, today is the day Jhonia lost her parents." Kyhe finally turned back to his mother and explained, leaving her shocked.
