It had been two months since Anjola left home, after the discovery of whom her real parents were she hadn't wanted anything to do with ijon and definitely nothing to do with her former Mom, mrs Wonu, she had lied to her, and at the end she had lost all she cared for. She swiped at a tear, at least she had her birth mother with her now, they were happy. she smiled at the portrait of a woman in her late thirties smiling back at her, now that she thought about it she had always felt the connection way before she knew this woman was her mother,

"Anjolami, is anything the matter?" asked a woman coming into the dimly lit studio

Anjola looked up and smiled, "I'm fine now Mom,i am at peace."

The woman came closer to Anjola hugging her tightly, "oh my love, finally you called me Mom!! Thank you baby, thank you, this is the best gift you could ever have given to me!! I love you." 

Anjola held on to her, "Love you too mom," she said as she inhaled her mother's clean scent.

Anjola brought her mom to sit on her painting stool, "You look healthy each day auntie mi...i mean Mom, i'm glad you're with me now . No one's ever gonna hurt you again i promise!!"

Bimpe smiled drawing back tangled hair from Anjola's face, "And you my darling baby girl work too hard, i didn't buy you this studio to work your behind off..." 

"I know Mom, i've wasted so many years doing what i hate, of course you won't blame me that finally i got my fingers back on what i love doing." Anjola said, balancing on a footstool and eating prawns straight from the lunch box Bimpe had brought for her.

"You have,but you're during great, boda oju would have been  so proud of you." Bimpe said guaging Anjola's expression as she had suspected Anjola shut down, dropping the lunch box and going into her blue room, this was were she painted proper. 

Bimpe followed her, "Anjolami.." Bimpe prompted 

"I don't want to talk about it mom."

Bimpe came over turning Anjola to face her, "But you have to one of this days, for christ sakes it's been two months!! At least call her to let her know you're fine,she has been nothing but a good mother to you and i couldn't ask for more,i forgave her a long time ago, you should too." Bimpe pleaded

Anjola snorted, "You go ahead and forgive her,but i won't!! She kept me from you for twenty four frigging years Mom!! twenty four!! How could you bring yourself to forgive her, i won't ever understand why she did it so don't beg on her behalf."

Bumper knelt in front of her daughter, "Anjola joo, for my sake please forgive her, it's in the past, all i can't think of is that at least she took care you like a real daughter."

Anjola knelt beside her, "Mom don't cry, no ones worth your tears, Mrs Wonu hasn't respected you all this while, only calls you when she needed your help, she has been bad to you

. Even after you had to give up your own daughter to cover her shame, that's an height of wickedness!! i won't ever... "

Bimpe shushed her, "Forgiveness Anjola, forgive her and let's move on in peace." Bimpe pleaded

"If i do, i am only doing it because it means so much to you Mom, you don't have to take trash from Mrs Wonuola Cole ever again. Your daughter is here where she belongs." Anjola assured falling into her mother's relieved arms. 

Bimpe smoothened back her hair, "You are truly my daughter, thank you."

"You're welcome Mom,will contact her tomorrow." Anjola said

Bimpe sighed in relief, it was all she could do for Auntie Wonu, she just hoped she wasn't going to regret it.
