Chapter 165: Chapter 165

Saturday morning. The doorbell to Jhonia’s apartment ring.. She was in the middle if getting ready to go to the Picnnock’s resident. She went to get the door and surprisingly kyhe was standing there.

“It’s good that you are here, we need to speak. Come in.” She said to him and invited him in. Kyhe seems to be hesitating.

“What is it?” She asked him and walked back inside.

“Why did i have to find out about it from the media? Everyone who knew i was giving the chance to make you mine thinks am stupid. Jhonia why?” He asked why he had to know from the media, then said to her about those who knew about his chance thinks he’s stupid. He got emotional and asked her why? Jhonia stood in confusion because she know not of what he is asking her, she just stood there staring at him.

“Where are you going?” He asked in a soft tone of voice. She didn’t understand why he was like that but she didn’t want to leave anymore.

“... Nearce is pretending to care for me, he’s acting like he misses me and I wanted to tell you about what I was planning but you scared the shit out of me after you made me smile all morning. Moments ago I said, it’s good that you are here, it was because I wanted to tell you. But what are you asking about, I am confused and why would anyone think you’re an idiot.. I mean stupid, why?” She took a moment to lock gaze with him, she then told him a part of Nearce’s doing and how she planned to tell him, however, he made her happy before scaring her. She reminds him that she said she wanted to speak with him before getting into details asking why everyone would think he’s stupid. She stood waiting for his response.

“You do not need to go back to him, to figure out what he’s up to. He's fighting against me for the favour of Alshane and his mother. They’re a make-up company. I wanted to work with them and they so happen to be here and want to invest in a company they wish to work with. Alshane is already with us”

“But his mother is not. And Nearce wants me to win her over his mother because winning her over mean he gets the investment.” Kyhe said to her and began explaining to her about why her ex-husband is suddenly behaving the way he is, he was then cut off by Jhonia who finished his sentence. At that moment she realized that this was it. That was the reason he was suddenly the prince charming type with her, from the sudden interest of talking into her, the dinner and the sweetness not to mention the weekend invite.

“Don’t go to him.” Kyhe fell to his knees in tears and said to her, Jhonia could only let him be, she still didn’t get an answer from him about the media and that everyone thinks he's stupid of. She held his head to her body caressing his hair.

“Kyhe, you don’t have to kneel for me. I also want to know why everyone would think of you as an idiot and what you found out in the media?” She called him and told him he need not to kneel to her but she wishes to know why he said those things towards himself earlier.

“Ahh, it not important an”

“Mom?” Jhonia cut off Kyhe questioning the presence she saw walking by, shocked by the encounter of her mother’s image she couldn’t believe her eyes she stood staring at the person walking the hallway. Kye had left her door open. He turned around from her but no one was there.

“Mom!” Jhonia yelled in question as she quickly left rushing after the person. Kyhe was taken back for a moment. He quickly went after her, however, all he saw was her heels in the hall toward the stairs and he went after her. Jhonia was running at her best speed.

She took the left elevator. That’s how i missed her, do she live here? I knew something wasn’t right when uncle didn’t let me see her off. Even the murder of my father was covered up, but I knew mom should have been alive. She was strapped within her seat, dad was the only one who got shot. So mom and I should have survived, coma at must is where i put her when i woke but i was told she didn’t make it. There she is. Jhonia thoughts.

“Mom, Mother!” Jhonia called for her but no response as she rushed up to the woman dressed in a deep blue dress like blouse, black pants, flat shoe, and a thin black scarf wrapped over her head barely hiding her face. Jhonia grabbed her hand and stopped her before she turned her around to face her.

“mom.” She whispered but to her surprise, shocked and disappointed, her heart shattered through her eyes.

“I am sorry, is there something I can help you with?” The woman apologized and asked Jhonia whose eyes were teary.

“No, if anyone should apologize it should be me. I’m truly sorry. I, you, i’m sorry you reminded me of someone.” Jhonia responded to her question and said it should be her who apologized, and so she did but for a second she got confused with words but she apologized again and told the lady. Kyhe appeared and was shocked to see Jhonia holding the hands of the woman he wished to work with, Alshane’s mother. Mrs Manaik, Kyhe ignored the fact that he knew her and began walking towards them.

“Jhonia.” He called for her and she let go of the hand she held. Kyhe reaches up to her and she goes into his arms in tears.

“I thought she was my mom.” She said in tears and Mrs. Manaik seemed pleased with what she heard. She smile and turned away leaving. Kyhe held Jhonia with care. The feeling of fear took him over. There is nothing he can do but wait for another day to confront her, because Jhonia need him now.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Manaik sat inside her car. She looked over at her son who had a smirk on his face. They stayed silent but she was no longer smiling but seemed angry.

“How did it feel to look at your elder sister in a younger form?” Alshane asked his mother who took a deep breath and faced the road in front of them.

“She said she thought I was her mother. She looked me in the eyes and for a moment and within that moment i felt like i found her, i felt like i found my sister but then the person before me was just her daughter… How did you find her?” She said to him, shedding a single tear from each eye. She then explained what she felt when they came face to face but it was the daughter instead of her elder sister, she then asked him.

“I was coming home when I met her an hour from the cross over, She was barely wearing clothes. She flagged me down and asked for coins to call for help but then she had to ask me how to use the payphone. She called a few people then she called Kyhe. I thought of who she was but after getting a good look at her I realized she looked like the person in the picture with you. I thought you lied to me, but when she introduced herself I thought that she must be the daughter.” Alshane said to her and began to explain how he was going home when he met her and then state what she was in but somethings didn’t add up and he wondered who she was but then he realized that she (his mother) was lying but then he thought Jhonia might be the daughter of the woman they’re seeking. His mother sighed loudly resting her head back.

“Nearce Pinnock, ha. Remove the content from the media, after the pain he caused her he wanted to use her to win me over. She still needs to impress me though. Let’s go.” She said and making a sound of laughter she told him to get the content of Jhonia and Nearce getting back to be removed from the media in her own words, she said with anger deep within her eyes for Nearce trying to use Jhonia. She added Jhonia will have to win her over and said.

“Really?” Alshane asked her, and she gave him a nod.
