THE BROKEN POT
"I shall see you tomorrow, take care of yourself and have a good night's rest,always remember that I love you." Chide said as he walked to his car. "Alright,I shall be right at this spot and at the same time. Enjoy the bliss of the night.I love you more." Bisi replied, waving at Chide as she watched him drive off in his new Mercedes Benz 4-matic.
"What a beautiful evening, beholding the beauty of the setting sun and having a feel of the evening breeze." She said to herself. Bisi walked across the road, opposite the mango tree where she was standing with Chide a few minutes ago.She touched a rose flower that attracted her attention. You could tell from her facial expression how happy she was as she quietly said to herself, " I just can't wait for Chide to introduce himself to my mother, I can't wait to walk down the aisle with him." Looking at her wristwatch which was a birthday gift given to her by Chide ,it was already 7pm."Oh!" She shouted "It is late already." She quickly rushed home.While she was trying to run in through their back door,she suddenly heard her mother's voice. "Bisi!" Her mother shouted. " Bisi,come here.What kept you out this long? You are late."
"Oh mother!" Bisi replied "You are there in the kitchen, what are you up to?'' She jokingly asked." I am so sorry I stayed a little longer, I was admiring the beauty of nature after seeing my friend off,I didn't know it was late until I looked at my wristwatch." "That's OK." Her mother said. " I hope to meet with him soon. " "Yes mother,you sure will." Bisi replied. "Never mind,I decided to add some extra vegetables to the soup you prepared last night,you can come over here and chop the vegetables for me." Her mother said in a soft voice" OK mother." Bisi replied as she rushed to the kitchen to help her mother.
