XTUS STORY CORNER: Marriage Proposal....Episode 8

MRS. LAMBERT'S PLAN

Source

"Hello Mum, good evening. How are you doing?" Ugo said to his Mum as he took the phone.

"My dear, good evening too. I'm fine. Hope you have eaten this evening?" Mrs. Lambert said.

"Not yet Mum, I'll get something to eat soon." Ugo replied.

"Eeh! Look at this boy-oh. You want to starve yourself to death abi? How come you have not eaten yet? This is the reason I'm even calling sef. I have found a woman that will come and be cooking for you-oh." Mrs. Lambert said.

At this point, Ugo knew the direction the discussion was about to take. And it will end up ruining his date with Angela. Although the conversation was already ruining it without knowing.

"Mum, not again...okay. I have heard you. Let's talk about this some other time, please" He said.

"You haven't even asked me who the lady is. And you are not getting any younger-oh." Mrs. Lambert said as she stressed the younger part.

"Whosoever you have planned Mum. Just remove your mind. It won't work. And besides, we shouldn't be discussing about this on phone". Ugo said.

"That's a good idea. It means who will soon come to see me abi? I will take out time to prepare your favourite soup for you. I have even missed you so much". Mrs. Lambert replied.

"Missed kwa, I thought we just saw less than forty eight-hours ago at the party. Mum please try to be lavishing this same love of yours to Chioma also, at least so you can release me a little too. Bikonu Ma?" Ugo said.

"Chioma ke? The one that doesn't listen to me at all? She listens to only her father. Especially this university admission she just got now. It has further made her head swollen. She doesn't listen to me." Mrs. Lambert said, deviating from the issue at hand.

"It's alright Mum, I've heard you. See you tomorrow then. Need to go. Love you Mum". Ugo said reluctantly.

"Love you too my dear. As you end this call now, leave everything you are doing and go and eat immediately-oh. If you don't eat now, I'll know in the spirit and call you back immediately." She said as she laughed softly.

"OK Mum, bye". Ugo said and quickly ended the call before she continued with her sermon.

As he quickly rushed back to the hut where he had left Angela, the atmosphere had already changed. Angela's face had become long. And he knew what that means. Whenever Angela's face goes long, the apology that follows is always long too. Ugo knew he was in trouble.
