Father, you are alive; I hugged my father tightly
Son; father smiled. I sat down on the bed while Regina sat next to me, my mother was also present.
It's not Liz, so who is she? father asked
Father, mother, meet Regina my girlfriend; they exchanged pleasantries
Regina, meet my father, Mr. Roberts, and my mother, Mrs. Roberts; I said
Nice to meet you sir and ma; Regina shook hands with them
It's my pleasure dear; they replied
Dad looked at me expecting me to say something.
I broke up with Liz two months ago. I realized she was cheating on me; I said. Father cleared his throat and continued speaking.
25 years ago I traveled to PH for a contract; he said
I heard the cry of a baby in a nearby bush. I walked in the direction of the cry and behold I saw a baby wrapped in a sack. I thought in my mind. How could a mother abandon her baby? But then I thought otherwise;
Since I was barren. I decided to take care of the child; mother chipped in
We believed taking care of the child will make God open my womb. We have been believing God and we are still believing;
Son, do you still hate me? mother asked
You are the best mum and dad in this world. You are the only parent I have; I said hugging them. Regina smiled and I massaged her palms. I knelt and brought out a ring.
Father, mother, grant us your favor; I faced Regina and spoke
Will you marry me and make me happy;
Gosh, she was shy, she closed her eyes and stretched her fingers. I placed the ring on her finger and kissed her.
Yes, yes; she replied, and I kissed deeper.
