Laras Faith: Part 15 :*****;;;;;; Good day! Lara smiled as walked into the sitting room. Welcome. Tony replied, he didnt return her smile. How have you been? Hope I didnt stay for too long? she squatted beside him. Fine. he looked away. Are you okay? lara noticed the worried look on his face. Im okay. Lara watched him for a while, she knew definitely this bad mood wasnt cos of her, perhaps something went wrong. I heard your parents came alongside my mother while I was away... she tried again. Yes. What did they come to do? I mean what did they say? she asked. Nothing...they just came to say hi to us! Tony was still avoidng her eyes. thats not true! Lara knew he was lying. Tony bit his lower lip. please tell me what happened. she pleaded patting his arm. your mum wants this marriage to be dissolved. he blurted out. She laughed quitely So is that why youre moody? yes...she called me names...even my parents got their share of the insults! the words seem to come out through his teeth. Lara rubbed her forehead...her mother was impossible. Dont mind her! Okay? she tried to sound calm. Lara...its just that...I errm....dont..dont want you to leave me, youre all I have now...please... he squeezed her palms. Im not leaving she assured him. Their gaze locked for what seemed like eternity, till Lara looked away. Lemme get you something to eat, care for some fish peppersoup? I bought fresh fish from the water side... she tried to sound cheerful. Im already salivating. Tony rubbed his stomach. Now youre joining me in the kitchen... Lara laughed as she wheeled him towards the kitchen :::::******::::::: Tonys eyes followed Lara, as she walked up and down the room, trying to get his things ready for the journey. His father would be there in no time to accompany him. He sighed and sipped his heavily creamed coffee. The night had been a tough one, he was thinking all through. He had imagined what itll be like if he got treated well- how life would be with Lara then. He thought of the probability that he didnt get well, would Lara continue to stay that way... What are you thinking? Lara jolted him back from his thoughts. Ehn? he smiled, he had learnt that word from her. Your mug have been hanging halfway to your lips for a while now. she said zipping his bag. Nothing. Hmm. she looked up. When are you coming back? she walked to the bed side. I guess three weeks minimum. he replied. minimum three weeks? Maximum should be one year then. Laras eyes ogled out. No...not more than a month. Tony laughed. I cant stay here all alone... she made a face. Tony sighed, what was going to tell her? His worries? now cmon, its just for a little while, okay? My mum would come to check on you regularly, you can even call your friend Deji to come and stay with you. he petted her. Okay... Lara sighed. They heard a car honked! Your dad is here... she helped him into his wheel chair. Gmorning sir. she said as her father in-law took over the wheel chair. How are you? Fine. she followed them closely with Tonys bags. bye and take care. she said as they were about to drive away. Lara? tony said gently. Their eyes locked. Tears filled his eyes. Pray for me. he whispered. I will. her voice was weak too. I love you Lara, and Ill miss you. he sniffed, before the car moved. Lara waved at them as they left the compound, tears streaming down her face. Part 16 @1pm
