Loving Pezo - Season 1 - Episode 49

She recalled her mother’s words plus the fact that she knew nothing about his family but quickly
brushed it off. That was the last of Mr. Mitti’s call she got for that evening.

She had dinner with the Chombas and felt a little bit at peace when she was able to converse
further with Kalima away from what he felt for her. Mrs. Chomba was the happiest not really
knowing what was going on in Pezo’s life with Mr. Mitti. By the time it was time to leave, Mrs.
Chomba suggested that it was too late for ladies to drive themselves in the night and she
suggested for her to either sleep over or allow for Kalima to drive her back. Pezo decided to go
ahead with Kalima and with the family blessings, they left.

Throughout their drive to the Chinyama residence, the two never seemed to run out of something
to talk about. They seemed to have come to terms that the tension between them wasn’t doing
them any good and so they both had to agree to move on with their lives. Kalima always enjoyed
Pezo’s company and even as he took his time to drive so he could enjoy the ride while it lasted.

Pezo: how is it going with the company work, getting used?

Kalima: it’s too much work but I guess that’s all I need for now. Something that can keep my mind
running at all times. And you- how is the job search?

Pezo: am almost giving up. Its not easy getting a job in Zambia nowadays.

Kalima: why don’t you join us. I mean, the family can do so much with your skill while you wait to
be called at any of your choice of companies

Pezo: I was already offered a position there but- I never wanted to get it. Karl I believe in growing
in whatever I do- this is a family business, while I need to be mentored while there all that I will get
is respect and non criticism because of the status I would go their with. I want to be challenged
and be treated like any other person in a workplace. But ofcourse, this this is not to say you are in
a wrong place. You have this whole work experience and I guess you are just in the right place
and position
Karl just smiled and never said anything. Because he was concentrating on his driving, he just
reached out for her hand and sq££zed it.

Kalima: I like your thinking line. You must be wise to make such an analysis of your own career. I
guess that’s why I easily fell in love with you.

Pezo: Karl
Kalima: am sorry- I just had to say that. And please just because we have agreed to accept that
we can never be any close. You should know that we can never avoid telling each other certain
things .

Pezo: (smilling) You are right. Thank you. For understanding me Karl. I really appreciate it.
Kalima: anytime. I just want you to know that I shall always be here for you. Just see me as that
friend you can rely on regardless of our family ties.

Pezo: Thanks Karl. Am grateful.
As they packed for Pezo to leave. Kalima quickly came out to open her door and with a friendly
hug, they parted. As usual… Mrs. Chinyama watched them by the window and didnt know what to
make of her daughter whom despite the pain she caused her, still loved, adored and cherished
with all her heart.

&&&&&&&&&&&&

A week passed and by each day that passed… the love between Pezo and Mr. Mitti grew even
bigger. None of them ever found time to actually talk about whatever they wanted to share with the
other. Mr. Mitti while getting busy because of his upcoming events with Matimba told Pezo he was
working from out of town while he was only getting too committed to justify not having time to meet
her but just calling and skyline with her. On the other hand, Matimba loved the commitment shown
by her fiancé towards their wedding and kitchen party. It was so good to be with him at all times
and in any circumstance having gotten leave from the office.
As for Mrs. Chinyama, she couldn’t hold on to the pain she had against her daughter- she was all
she had for a friend after all. In no time, because of what she saw with her and kalima and saw
nothing of Mr. Mitti for close to two weeks, she presumed her daughter was beginning to make
sense. Although every now and then she would find her talking on the phone to him, she never
made a big deal out of it but just gave her daughter time and kept on praying for the best of her in
all she did.
