The Changing Tides - Season 1 - Episode 52

She stood for a couple of seconds taking in what Paul told her and she shook her head walking
inside the bank to finish up what she and her boss went to do.

“So how are you doing with this news?” Musonda asked when Maria sat in the car and he started
the car engine.
“I don’t know Musonda, you know sometimes I feel like I do a lot of running from staff in my life
and this time around am not gonna do that, I need this I think. Knowing the truth about my parents
and probably finding my roots will be a good thing for my life… ” she told him honestly.
Musonda looked at her..

“am glad to hear that my dear Maria, that’s growing up learning to face the fears of your life head
on makes you grow stronger. Sometimes you have to go through harsh patches in your life for
you to discover yourself and become brave and better.”

Maria shrughed,
” well, I feel that too. Maybe If i didn’t move out of Lusaka after I was dumped I could have not
realiaed that” she said sadly..

“You loved him, right ?” Musonda asked her.

She looked at him and back at the road. .
“He is the perfect man I know , he has the biggest heart, he loved me even when I couldn’t love
myself. He’s done things for me more than anybody has ever done before.” She smiled,
” he’s so good I wonder how he even does what he does.” She added.

Musonda looked at the lit face of Maria, and knew she had so much love for this guy. He couldn’ help feel jealousy but pushed the thoughts away.

“Wow, the man is lucky, to have someone who loves him so much. I wonder why someone
decided to break you people apart, and why he didnt stand by you” he added his hands on the
steering and his face ahead.

She smiled slightly,
” well I gues we were not meant to be” she sighed.

” It’s over now and when am done with school next year I plan on going to get my son. I can’t just
let him have my son to himself he’s part of me too” she added. .
Musonda frowned,
“I think we almost there” he announced as he turned on the road ahead of them.
“So do you think it’s possible you can love someone again?” He asked after some seconds of
silence in the car.

She smiled without looking at him.
“Well I hope so… I really hope so. ” she shrugged honestly.

“We are here” Musonda told her cutting the story as they parked in front of a black gate.
Maria looked around the house, looking at the wire fence surrounding it.

“Am ready” she looked back at Musonda and they both walked out of the car.
“Good afternoon madam,” Musonda greeted the woman who came to open the gate for them.
“Afternoon,” she responded looking at both Maria and Musonda.
“We are looking for the owner of the house, the man,” Musonda spoke up.
“Oh well, come on in he’s my elder brother” she smiled letting them inside the gate as she opened
the it wide open for them to drive in.

“They were ushered in and shown some seats in the wide sitting room, Maria sat down nervously
looking around the room which felt calm and peaceful. There was some familiarity with the scent in
the room. That scent of a home. One with some sort of serenity.
