It's been over a month since Kessy returned from the hospital and Michelle had been more than just a friend but an elder sister to her.
It was a Sunday morning and they just got back from church, the four were seated having brunch harmoniously.
"Michelle am grateful for your kindness and help, I've lost hope in human until we met" Kessy said as they both washed the plates after their meal.
"Kessy, I didn't do anything for you out of compulsion but love. You're more than a friend, I've taken you and your child as family right from start and I should be the one thanking you_ I've grown from being a mini shop owner to a BRAND now known all over the region and beyond, I've got series of booked supplies on daily basis" she paused taking Kessy's hands "Thank you Kessy" she said and hugged her.
"Mom someone's at the door!" Moon said out loud.
"Okay coming" she replied
"You go ahead I'll finish up" Kessy told her and she pats her on the shoulder before going out to check on the door but she never expected who to see him again after their last encounter.
She came out not wanting to invite him into her home
"What do you want?" She asked him straight on and he sighed, he had taken the next available flight to come see her after his straight forty-eight hours shift at the hospital.
"Can't get you off my mind" he bluntly said and she scoffed at him.
"Look I don't want to force you back to me but we need to talk like two adults. Am stressed from work Chelly, I took the available flight here so, can you help me with some of your master piece meal" he shamelessly asked.
"Restaurant are still opened you can get the best just _" she was saying but Kessy interrupted her
" Michelle you got a call" she said handing over her phone but just as Michelle took her phone from her Kessy saw the face of the man standing next to Michelle and she was strucked rooted to the spot.
Michelle used the call as an excuse and went as far as the garden speaking into the phone.
"Longest time sis" Pete was the first to break the silence but Kessy didn't respond instead she questioned him
"Did Mr Bold ask you to search for me and bring me back dead or alive?" She asked with no emotional feelings.
"No I wasn't sent by Mr Bold our father" he replied but Kessy sneered at him then said
"I don't have a father neither a blood relation with who ever you're referring too" she said and walked back into the living room but she left the door opened as a signal for him to come in, he gladly got in and was grateful she came out if not Michelle won't have let him in.
"What will you like to eat?" Kessy asked though she had long sworn never to associate with anyone from the Bold family but this was her elder brother who had sometimes sneaked out to give her food or buy her clothes but when their father knew he sent him abroad to study and she had never seen him again until now.
"Am not picky anything will do" he said listening to the two fellows singing from another room, at such a young age they got good voices that captures the mind.
