2020-09-25 00:04:11Mr. Matthew fitted his car keys into his car hurriedly and started the engines. He drove out of the parking lot and started heading home. His mother sat in the back seat silently looking at her son who was dripping wet from head to toe. She looked out of the car window and waved goodbye to Mrs. Lupita. Mr. Matthew had hotly begged his mother that Mrs. Lupita not follow them and she had no choice but to agree. Her son had been through a lot of problems ever since Mrs. Lupita showed up, and she herself was beginning to doubt her matchmaking skills.
When they arrived at their house, Mr. Matthew walked into his room angrily and headed into his bathroom to get a new pair of clothes. He wore a grey t-shirt over a black jean and then walked back to the sitting room. His mother sat on the largest sofa, which Mr. Matthew was so fond of, reading her little Good News Bible. She looked up at him when he approached her. He sat beside her and frowned as he fumbled with the remote, trying to get the television to switch on.
“Take it easy Matt, I’m sorry for what happened this afternoon, I promise you it won’t happen again okay,” she said in a low voice, trying to soothe him. Mr. Matthew nodded his head without looking at his mother.
“I knew Mrs. Lupita was not a professional from the very first day I saw her,” Mr. Matthew said as the television screen’s bright blue neon light lit the room, causing it to come alive.
His mother nodded. “I agree with you okay, now shush, mama’s got you,” she said as she opened her arms and pulled him closer.
He hesitated at first, but then later moved himself into his mother’s warm hug sulkily as warm fresh tears ran down his eyes. His mother sighed and stroked his head. “How could she have let someone do this to her son, her baby boy,” she thought. Although she didn’t spoil him, she liked to pamper him where she seemed fit.
She broke the hug and after giving Mr. Matthew a reassuring smile, went into the kitchen to prepare their supper. She was going to prepare his favorite, spaghetti and fish stew. Even though they were not that rich, they were comfortable and had just enough for themselves.
Mr. Matthew wiped his tears with his elbow and turned to face the television screen as he switched to a telenovela channel. His mother sighed as she heard the intro song from the kitchen. She knew what was about to happen.
Twenty minutes into the telenovela series, Mr. Matthew began to hiss and scoff.

Mrs. Grace stood there, too dumbfounded to talk. Mrs. Lupita walked over to where she was and put her hand on her shoulder. “I know most of my plans failed with your son, Matthew, but please Mrs. Grace, let’s give it one last try. I have a very good idea and I’m sure it will work this time,” she said as she tried to weave a smile on her face.Mrs. Grace stood beside her thoughtfully. Should she allow Mrs. Lupita to give it one more try? It would be benefitting for her s

Mr. Matthew frowned as he looked at his mother, demanding an explanation. “You told me we would not listen to or accept Mrs. Lupita’s advice again mom, then what is she now doing here?” he asked angrily. Mrs. Lupita had come to their house that morning with four other people; two men and two women. Mrs. Grace had entertained them and told them to wait for her in the sitting room while she got her son, as he was still in his bedroom at that time.She closed the door behind her and looked at her son who was sitting on

Mr. Matthew stood up and walked further into the party, nodding stiff greetings here and there. He scanned around till he saw who his mother and Mrs. Lupita had told him to try and woo. He said a quick short prayer and sat in front of the lady. The third seat was empty and he was grateful for that. He didn’t think he would be able to try and woo her in the presence of another person. If he had made the wrong move, he would have been greatly embarrassed.He smiled and looked at her. She had yellow braided hair which reached her shoulders. She wore a blue armless gown which was embodied in gold patterns and held in her hand a silver clutch purse.“That’s a nice purse you’ve got there,” Mr. Matthew said, starting the conversation. She looked at him and smiled.“Thank you, it’s one of Vou LeFou’s best model,” she said and raised the purse for his perusal, showing him the

Mr. Matthew finished with his meal and headed to the kitchen to get an extra helping. His mom had made extra today. He dished the wheat cereal to half of his bowl and then carried it back to the sofa. He preferred eating in the sitting room to his room because of the two gigantic fans situated in the sitting room that seemed to blow refreshing breeze everywhere in the large room.There was a knock at the door. He covered his food with one of the hand fans his mother kept handy on extremely hot days and walked to the door. He opened it a little bit and peered through the tiny crack. It was Mrs. Lupita. He greeted her warmly and opened the door widely to let her in. He ushered her politely to the sitting room and waved her to a seat opposite where he had sat earlier.On hearing Mrs. Lupita’s voice, his mother, Mrs. Grace quickly came out of her room, all smiles as she hugged and greeted her friend. Mr. Matthew just shook his head as he r
