DUPLICATE FATE

Chapter 7

"Why are you hiding yourself?" There was an amused smile on his lips." Don't tell me that you are still shy around me?"

I just cleared my throat. He was right. I am still shy around him.

" Where are my clothes, Nana? I need to go now."

" I already put them in the laundry basket. " Nana answered calmly.

"What? Why did you do that? Now what am I going to wear? I promised mom to come visit her today at ten. I need to get to the hospital before ten." I said in an agreed tone.

" Well, it' s still seven in the morning, Adoma." Nana Kwame smiled.

Before I could reply , Nana Kwame had already captured my lips. All I could think about at this moment was how his lips expertly moved against mine.

"Hmmm..... What are you doing, Nana?" I asked him when we parted to get some air.

"Kissing? " The corner of his lips tugged up in a smile.

I pursed my lips and asked to know if what happened between us last night meant something to him. " Well, I mean, last night. Something happened between us. "

Nana hudged my shoulder and looked at me straight in the eyes. "I told you we should give this relationship a try and see whether it will work out for our baby's sake. He or she may need both a mother and a father .

And since we are physically attracted to each other, I think we should start from there."

I could clearly see the desire in Nana's eyes. I swallowed hard. " Well ....yeah. You are right, " I admitted, even though he is the one who is just attracted to me physically, because I know I love him.

Nana gave me a satisfied smile. " So I suggest we keep trying our best towards creating a healthy and happy family for our baby. What do you say to that?"

I bit my lower lip and nodded at him." Alright. "

" Great." Nana claimed my lips in another earth-shattering kiss before he let go of me.

"Come on. As much as I would like to devour you, I don't want our baby to die of hunger, so you have to eat breakfast first."

A small smile appeared on my lips. Our baby. That sounds great in my ears. It means Nana also wants the baby as much as I do.

A few minutes later, I came out of the bathroom smelling like Nana, since I used his toiletries only to see him walking into the room with a tray full of food in it in his hand, while some were already in the room and a new set of clothes on the bed.

" This is too much, Nana," I said, referring to the food.

Nana looked at me and answered, " Well, I didn't know what you would like to eat this morning, that is why I just decided to prepare all of these for you to choose from. "

" Thank you. " I sat on the bed with the towel still around me . Well, the clothes can wait, but what I need now is the food.

Nana kept his word and sent me to the hospital before ten. I reached mom's room to find Adobia already there.

"Good morning mom and how are you today." I greeted them.

" Good morning sweetheart, am better and you?"Mom answered.

"I'm good mom, "

" Good morning Adobia, " I said to my sister.

"Good morning Adoma, how was your night?" Adobia asked.

"Fine, thanks for asking." I answered.

"Adobia, why didn't you ask your sister about her night at home ?" Mom asked, looking at us .

" Emmm... Mom , Ado.." I quickly cut her off before she could say anything that might cause more fights between me and mom. We are not able to solve it and adding another fight to it is not what I want.

" Mom, I didn't go home yesterday. I spent the night in the office." I lied to my mom for the first time.

But it wealth it , mom doesn't like him because of what happened few months ago. Mom already knew about it but she acted nicely towards Kwame on our visit to the hospital yesterday because I begged her to.

I remember when I told her about my marriage to Nana Kwame Fosu , a day before, I took him to the hospital to visit mom.

......Flashback........

"Mom, please....... Please try to understand me. I love him." I said , looking at mom with poppy eyes.

" Sweetheart, I have thought about it. And i think this is the best for you. Please do this for us , forget about what you feel for him, because I know that guy doesn't feel a thing for you. He just wants to use you as a path to wealth. He is a cheat , a liar and a selfish guy who doesn't care about your feelings. I know his type because I have known some. " Mom said with pain in her voice.

" Mom, but you encouraged me to find him." I asked, not understanding why she suddenly changed her mind after I had found him.

" Yes I did because I wanted that guy to take responsibility for his actions and rot in jail .Remember you didn't tell me, you were looking for him because you loved him and wanted to get married to him. And thinking about the way you went about it is very wrong. You shouldn't have asked him to marry you. It shows that you are despite.

Sweetheart, it' s not like I don't want you to get married and be happy, but I just don't want you to wear my shoes because you get hurt and regret it.I want you to have a smooth life free of pain and suffering." Mom explained her point clearly for me to understand.

"Mom, we are talking about my child's happiness here. I can do anything to give my child both his / her parents, even if it is losing my dignity as a human. I don't care what you think he sees me now. All I know is, I will get married to him in a week's time. I will be here with him to visit you, so please, mom, be nice or you lose your daughter forever." I threatened my mom for the very first time in my life , then walked away from her.
