(LOVE OF A MOTHER)
"Emma" a woman in her late thirties called out
"it's monday Emma, you are going to be late for the interview"
"Mum, it's still 6:00 am, and I have two hours and thirty minutes before the interview begins" Emma said.
"But Emma you have to be early the wo0man replied
"Mum I think it's time" Emma said seriously with her hands crossed across her chest
"Time for what Emma" the woman asked looking confused
"Time to start my mission of looking for a husband" Emma said
"What! A husband?, Emma what have I done to you why do you want to get married in such a rush " Elizabeth exclaimed
Emma chuckled "I never said a husband for myself, I meant a husband for you so that you can focus on him and finally stop nagging " Emma said
"So you think that I am a mother who is always nagging right?"Elizabeth said looking hurt
"No mum it's not what I meant, you know that I was joking right" Emma said and she hugged her mum tightly
Her father's disappearance really gave her mum an emotional breakdown
"Mum it has been sixteen years since dad disappeared can't you forget him and move on?" Emma said as she looked at her mum pitifully
"Emma" Elizabeth said as she freed herself from Emma's embrace
"Take a look at the time, you silly girl it's 6:15 and you are still standing in front of me spouting nonsense? Remember, it takes one hour to get to sparkling beauty from here, Now go and take your bath" Emma's mum said as she pulled out her slipper to chase Emma into the bathroom
"mum you can't run away from the truth you know "Emma saidand locked the bathroom door immediately
' I just want to place all my focus on you Emma and as for James, although I haven't forgotten him yet I won't let it get in the way of your success' Elizabeth thought looking at the bathroom's door
Thirty minutes later Emma came out of her room in her work clothes
"Are you still in this house it's 6:55 for crying out loud hurry up and go" Elizabeth scolded
"Okay okay mum calm down, I'm done can't you see" Emma retorted
"be careful on the way it's still very early" Elizabeth reminded pushing Emma towards the door but Emma halted and turned to her mum hugging her tightly
"I love you mum" Emma said
"I love you too silly girl now go" Elizabeth said
