Loving Pezo - Season 1 - Episode 59

When they got home- Pezo was allowed to freshen up quickly and joined the rest on the dinner
table after a while; meant to welcome her. Throughout the meal, pezo could not avoid noticing that
Kalima kept on stealing glances of her and more than ever, she felt so uncomfortable sitting
opposite him and she so wished that they could get it all done with already. She detasted some of
these traditions that made it so obvious that everyone who left home even for a short while had to
be welcomed with a joint formal dinner that brought the two families together. With her marvelous
community experience back at the village- most of the conversations were a little boring for her.


Her mind kept on taking her back to the village and what she would have been doing at that point.

It was such a great and simple life that was full of gunuine love for one another. She already
missed how she would always wrap up her day with her grandmother who always had to massage
her head nerves to relax her after the long day’s volutary works. There was no other place that
would have healed her the way it did in Zambezi area.

By the time she was coming back to reality, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her and she was so
clueless as to what was happening. Apparently, Mrs. Chomba had posed a question to her which
she could not even remember at all.

Am sorry- my thoughts must have been else were
Mrs. Chomba: I actually figured so. Don’t tell me you are already missing your grandma. Or is it
that we are missing out on something?
Her words were vague she couldn’t quite understand her. But she just acted brave and just smiled
as she was answering back.

Pezo: actually no mah- am sorry for that.
And that look again from Kalima. Pezo had no idea of what was happening but she prayed she
would not have to go back to the same issues she did with Kalima. Having anyone take advantage of her situation or use it for falling in Love again was the last thing on her mind and she really
hoped he could see that through her actions.
Pezo also noticed that Mrs. Chomba was being extra nice to her. This was not what she expected
of her after messing it big time with Mr. Mitti. Usually- Mrs chomba would never tolerate such
behaviours. Her mother told her they couldn’t hide anything from the chombas because either
way, their children were going to tell them soon or later. Pezo was told Mrs. Chomba could not
hide her disappointment when told about what happened but seemed to have come to terms with
what happened over time. But even as her mother and Mrs. Chomba pulled her upstairs into her
room- she never got so shocked with what she was told.

Mukuka had just left to attend to her other personal issues and as the men got into their soccer
discussions- both Mrs Chinyama and Chomba felt it was the best time to communicate their
decision to Pezo both hoping that she would see the sense in it.

Mrs. Chomba : (holding her by the hand as she massaged it) Your mother told me all that
happened to you – how are you feeling?
Pezo was a little hesitant in answering. Maybe a little confused too because she never knew what
shape the conversation was yet to take.

Mrs. Chinyama: am sure, you now understand that the chombas are as good as being a part of
this family- I –

Pezo: it’s fine mummy. (Facing mrs chomba) – am okay. God was with me
Her mother smiled while Mrs Chomba couldn’t help but be proud of the answer given

Mrs. Chomba: we are happy then. Dear- I need you to know that despite what happened- we still
love you and still believe that the best is yet to come your way

Mrs. Chinyama: your grandma told us how you were able to conquer your pains through the great
engagements you had with people. That was the best way to do it darling. And your father and I
are so proud of you because of the legacy you left back at the village

Mrs. Chomba : We had a chance to think through how we could sustain your healing even after
returning home were you spend most of your time alone. We know that this is something we had
proposed some months ago and your reasoning was clear but- but we really need you to know
that we are doing this for your own safety, happiness and goodwill.

Pezo: I – I dont get you mah.

Mrs. Chinyama: what we are trying to say is, we have decided to create a position for you at our company. You understand that whatever we do is for you our children and it is now that you need
to begin to familiarise yourselves with all the company dealings. Ofcourse we understand you just
came nack and so you really dont have to start immediately but may report for work as soon as
you are good to do so

Pezo: but mummy- You really didn’t have to – really am okay waiting for whenever I would get
myself a job. Besides, Karl is already on it right?

Mrs. Chomba : child- Pezo – do you really have to argue about this? All we are saying is that it is
now time for you to take your position in that company- am sorry darling but- we are not asking
you to do this but simply reminding you of your duties as a daughter of this house
She was so strong on her. Pezo didn’t like it. She didnt like Mrs. Chomba and her motives at that
point. She was so dissapointed with her mother for not being confident enough to talk to her
daughter alone. She was almost losing it and standing up against her decision when she realised
it was too soon to go against her own family’s decisions once more.

Pezo: (forcing a smile) – its okay. I will take it up. Thanks.
Mrs. Chomba: You don’t have to thank us darling. We are simply asking you to possess what is
your rightful possession.

Pezo just smiled. And before she realised it, the men joined in with Mrs. Chomba proudly
announcing the new development. Everyone was happy and assured her it was the best decision
made. Ofcourse- Kalima was the happiest. There could be no better way of having this lady he
adored so much near her than this way. Pezo wished she could speak out and mention it wasn’t
her decision but that she was forces to accept.
