Loving Pezo - Season 1 - Episode 55

Kalima had not slept from the time he woke up and all the while, he kept on looking out for her
return. When Mukuka woke up, she equally became worried. She was almost calling Mrs.
Chinyama when Kalima quickly stopped her
Kalima: it’s most likely that she isn’t there and you may alarm the situation

Mukuka: I think we need to tell mum then- am really worried bro. Pezo wasnt herself last night

Kalima: no kuka. Let’s just wait a little while. Am sure she will appear. Are you sure you have no
idea whatsoever were she could be?
Mukuka: Pezo has always been an easy and happy person bro… this is the first of this kind of
situation she has been in. (A little thoughtful) but wait- she could be at church- I remember her
doing that one time

Kalima: then what are we waitin for… let’s quickly check on her
Before they could get out of the house- their mother met them
Mrs. Chomba: and where are you headed to at this hour of the morning
Mukuka: Morning mum
Kalima: good morning mother. Kuka and I just thought of sitting by the gardens
Mrs. Chomba: and Pezo? Is she still asleep?
Both were speechless. And the moment Kalima was about to say something. Pezo entered
through the main door. Still not looking so well but better that the previous evening.
Mrs. Chomba: Pezo? Were are you coming from at this hour of the morning
Mukuka and kalima never knew the answer she would give and for a while they feared for the
worst to happen. But on a different note… Pezo managed a smile as she answered

Pezo: Morning
Mah- sorry I couldn’t mention this before leaving. I went for the early morning mass.
Mrs. Chomba : I see. And you couldn’t wait for the usual mass both families attend
Mukuka: Pezo has other things to do at that time mum… Actually I will stay with her here- so I
won’t join you for mass today

Mrs. Chomba: That’s okay girls. Whatever suits you.
Mrs Chomba kept her gaze on Pezo even as she was saying so. Something seemed wrong with
her and she couldn’t miss it for anything. Kalima noticed her suspicions and he quickly interrupted.

Kalima: Mother may I please have a word with you- this way if you don’t mind
Mother: sure son- but only after a few moments. I would like to talk to Pezo first. If you could both
excuse us
Kalima: well mom it’s kind of urgent.
Mother: am sure it can wait right?

Pezo: it’s okay mah. Please attend to him. I will be right here… waiting for you.
She left physically but it’s like her worrying heart remained right were Pezo was left. As she went
to hear her son out… Mukuka immediately engaged her

Mukuka: dear- you really made us worried. Where have you been?

Pezo: (pouring a glass of fresh water for herself) I had to approach him Kuka. Joe I mean. I hope
God will help me forgive him really

Mukuka: Hey – are you okay- I mean- I hope he didn’t further hurt you in anyway
Pezo: No Kuka. Because no other act of him could be as painful as what he did to me yesterday.

But tell you what?
Mukuka: what?
Pezo: I really feel lighter. I wont lie to you that I can easily get rid of all the pain I feel right now but after taking a look at the real Joe as I faced him this morning, I just realised that he never even
deserved my attention at all- infact- no man will ever deserve it Kuka.
Mukuka: am glad you are thinking positively darling- but Pezo, not all men are the same: am Sure
God will provide you with that one man who will love and adore you will all his heart.
Pezo just shook her head and Mrs. Chomba reappeared.

Mrs. Chomba: dear why don’t you excuse us. I would like to talk to your friend. Alone.
Mukuka: sure.
Mrs. Chomba immediately held her by the hand and led her in the next room were breakfast was
readily available for everyone.
Mrs. Chomba: care for some breakfast?
Pezo: am not so hungry mah. I will just pour some plain coffee perhaps
Mrs. Chomba: Sure. I will do so as I get mine. Why don’t you sit and I will be with you soon Pezo was so sure she already knew everything. She felt bad knowing very well how Mrs Chomba
had always praised her all her life for her lifestyle and all that she did concerning herself. She was
the first women besides her own mother who made her realise how much value she possessed as
a woman who had kept herself so pure even after going through her university and all. Something
that modern young ladies always failed to cope with. Mrs. Chomba did not only love her for that
but she always respected her more than she did her own daughter and she had never hidden that
fact. But today- she was facing her as a different person. One who did not only degrade herself but
did so at the expense of her own mother’s love and respect and she really felt tone apart. Her
thoughts were cut as Mrs. Chomba sat next to her.

Mrs. Chomba: You mother called last night and this morning. She said she hadn’t heard from you
since you left on on friday. She sounded worried.
