Each day that comes after
The following day, Jhonia woke up with puffy eyes, she sat up and realized Tianjie was sleeping next to her! She began sliding out of bed carefully trying not to wake her up!
“I’m not sleeping, Jhonia.” Tianjie said to her. Jhonia looked back at her with her reddish and puffy eyes. Tianjie sat up, reached over and hugged her.
“The kind of mother in law you have, Madiea and I wish we have. Sashanie is no longer a part of this friendship so she is excluded but Nielle, her husband’s mother doesn’t care who he’s with as long as she is beautiful and well mannered and that Nielle is. I overheard you and your maid Crissian talking. Starting today how about you call her mom, she would want that too. When you talk about your parents’ you always hold a straight face, don’t do it anymore because it’s okay if you’re not okay. Okay?” Tianjie said to her, letting her know that she overheard what she maybe shouldn’t. She then compliments her for having the kind of mother-in-law she and Madiea wants. Tianjie then told her not to hide or hold a straight face because she and the others care, so there’s no reason to hide her pain.
“Okay, but I don’t intend to always show all of you my pain. I hope you will understand because these years without the mother I know and own, weren’t with me. I love and I have learned to keep things to myself, and the less people know the better. Thank you!” Jhonia said to her, and told her she won’t always show her emotion. She tells Tianjie she hopes for her understanding because the mother she knows and owns, she spent years without. She then clarifies that she would rather be alone and thanked her. Tianjie nodded and pulled back, Jhonia stood up and went to the bathroom as her memory rushed back to Crissian words.
“With all that love she has for you! Anything is possible, don’t forget she hired a full-time driver for you and made me your personal maid, also you just sent her a few words and she just handed over Orean to you just like that. Someone she knew for ten or more good years for you, just for you. Jhonia there’s nothing she wouldn’t do. She is like a famous CEO who is protecting a sweet and innocent girl, which is you! Secret bodyguards and all! A daughter is a woman’s most precious gift and you fall in all the sweet and innocent categories so guess who is your famous CEO..?”
“Mrs. Pinnock seems to really love you over her son, Ms. Jhonia. Those were her exact words, also she might still send money to your account from a company she’s investing in. She never really saw her husband’s money as her own, so it must have been from her own earnings or from a secret bank loan or investment! She brought the house with… A daughter is also something she had always wanted someone to go shopping and do mother- daughter and girly- womanly etc stuff with.”
If this is true? Can I trust that you do really love me, like a mother to her daughter? Can I trust that at some point you won’t give up on me, after I leave him? Even when he’s your son. What should I do? Jhonia thoughts?
Jhonia stood before the mirror of her large lavatory, she smiled and took off her clothes and stepped into the shower tub she turned on the shower… After the shower she went to her closet and got dressed.
“It was good that I moved some of my clothes here!” Jhonia said turning to leave when her cell phone rings, she rushed out to pick it but met Tianjie with it. It was already answered when she took it from her.
“Hello!” Jhonia answered.
“Hello dear, are you coming back for breakfast?” Mrs. Pinnock asked, in her voice a worried sound.
“Yes. Honestly, I was on my way when you called! I will leave now, is everything okay?”
Jhonia responded to her, stating she’s on her way when she called. Then she asked as she left waving at Tianjie, who waved back with a smile.
“It’s good to have you as my friend Jhonia, I owe you one even if you don’t see it so. I have never seen Shaquan step back from anyone but he did from you, I wonder who are you exactly? Nevertheless, I will wait for you to tell us.” Tianjie said to herself, as Jhonia left her sight, she continued to speak about how her husband backed down from her, and asked. Then say she will wait on Jhonia to come to them. She cleaned up and went down to see two maids in uniform and Crissian helping them. A man who stood by the door, for a moment she felt afraid until Crissian turned around.
“Ms. Tianjie you up! Don’t be afraid he’s here for our protection, it was for Jhonia but she asked him to stay.” Crissian said to her, then quickly explained who the man suit is. Tianjie smiled, Madiea and Nielle came down stairs…
Meanwhile, Jhonia was on her way to have breakfast with Mrs. Pinnock! … After arriving she got out of the car.
“Orean, you can return back to the girls. I’m staying with her for the day so we will use her car.” Jhonia said tell him to go back, and why before she walked away after Orean nodded! As she entire the house and Nearce was leaving, they made eye contact.
“Jhonia you’re here? Come and sit with me, let’s eat.” Mrs. Pinnock asked and said to her, which broke the eye contact between them.
“Hmm. Leaving?” Jhonia responds then asks Nearce.
“Hmm, I have already eaten.” Nearce responded to her.
“Oh! … Bye then.” Jhonia said walking away from him, and went to have breakfast!
“If seasons were a person? One minute she’s summer and the next she’s winter, hot and cold.” Nearce said before, walking up to the door he open it and leave closing it behind him.
Jhonia have breakfast with Mrs. Pinnock then they read magazines. They sat in silence, all morning read magazine, watching television, playing music, and then they both went to their room and sleep. At one to two in the afternoon Jhonia woke up and minutes after Mrs. Pinnock woke up! Jhonia was already downstairs when Mrs. Pinnock began going down the stairs.
“Oh Jhonia, you are still here? You should stay for lunch with me.” Mrs. Pinnock seems rather suprised to her and ask before saying she should stay for lunch. Jhonia turned off the television and got up!
“Okay.” Jhonia responded, which surprised Mrs. Pinnock!
“Really? We will be eating outside.” Mrs. Pinnock asked as she was a bit confused, but she smiled at her and spoke. Jhonia return the smile.
“Okay, are we going now? Also, should we go to the spa after lunch?” Jhonia responded and asked her, she then suggested. Mrs. Pinnock grip tightly onto the staircase banister.
“Are you okay?” Jhonia asked her, after she noticed her sudden change.
“Did something happen, why are you suddenly wanting to go places with me?” Mrs. Pinnock asked her but Jhonia just smiled and walked up the five steps remaining up to Mrs. Pinnock.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Because you ask, because you are so good to me, I should return kindness with kindness. Also, I have decided to start calling you mom henceforth so get used to it. Okay?” Jhonia said to her, telling why she is doing what she’s doing. As she reaches up to Mrs. Pinnock she said and ask her.
“Calling Me? Mom? Really?” Mrs. Pinnock asked, with happiness and confusion in her voice.
“Yes, really. I will be calling you mom” Jhonia responded to her with a smile, Mrs. Pinnock couldn’t hold back the happiness inside anymore she hugged Jhonia, her eyes filled with tears of joy cutting her off.
“Let’s have lunch today, tomorrow we can go to the spa, then we can do other things with each day that comes after.” Mrs. Pinnock said to her, pulling back from their hug as she knows Jhonia doesn’t stand being hugged for too long. She then tells her there is also tomorrow and they can go then and do other things each day after. They decided to change clothing and set off to have lunch. While on their way they decided on the restaurant and to have lunch at. After they were finish eating their lunch, they both sat and relaxed watching the outside of people and cars going about… Jhonia noticed how happy Mrs. Pinnock was and decided to see how things go thereon…
