. All i need is for you to tell me why you are interested in my late father's diamond and why you even have one on your neck aswell. Johnson: no i asked you first

Edward: i insist you answer first.

Johnson: took a long breath.) em i don't think it will be necessary today.

Edward: getting angry) why not? Then what Did you bring me here for?

Johnson: okay boy, don't be offended, let me manage. (then he cleared his throat) my father made this diamond, the both of them. One for himself and the other for me but not long, he died and i got hold of the two. When i was in high school, i meet a girl by name Helen. I came to love her so much that i gave one of this diamond to her. But then some thing happened. I got her pregnant and foolishly denied it because, i was afraid that my uncle won't sponsor my education again if he realizes it. Her parents rejected her. she did not know what to do so she ran away with the pregnancy and since then i haven't seen her again. I searched all round for her after i have gotten a job but their was no trace of her. Believe me, i am still looking for her till date.(he began to sob)

Edward: what!!! What the heck are you talking about, are trying to say that you are my father?

Johnson: yeah, most probably

Edward: its another Helen you fell in love with, not my mother because my mum told me my father is dead.

Johnson: did he mention the name of your father to you?

Edward: no! She don't like talking much about him., but, she said he is dead. Johnson: when i saw you, i know that there is some thing different about you even before i saw the diamond. YoU might be my son.

Edward:no way! how can i be your son? Even if its true , how am i to accept you when you rejected me at the early stage of my existence.? Johnson:startedsobbing)believeme. I was only afraid i won't get to finish my education that is why i denied her. I searched for her but couldn't find her believe me."

Edward:. Well keep searching for her. You might be Lucky to find her one day..

Mr.Johnson: all evidence points out that you are the fruit of my Love with her. Edward: (was getting angry) its not true! How am i to believe that? Mr.Johnson: the only way to find out the truth is for us to go to the hospital for DNA test. In that case we will know if it is another Helen that i gave the diamond to or your mother. Edward: okay, but i pray its not my Mother. I don't imagine my self having a mean father. More over, my dad died before my mum gave birth to me. Johnson: okay.

Thomas: hey man. YoU are back so how did it went?
