The Changing Tides - Season 1 - Episode 56

“I have to go and see my son, Musonda, I can’t stay at peace knowing his not okey.” Maria
panicked pacing around Musonda’s living room. She had just been informed that baby Paul was
seriously ill and he was taken to the hospital.
“Have you talked to the maid to find out which hospital?” Musonda asked her holding her hand to
comfort her.
The two had become so close with Musonda starting to think Maria would any time give him a
chance. he had told her one day how he felt for her.

“Maria, I know you somehow still love the father to your child. But am asking if you can give me a
chance to love you. You are a great person and over the time I can’t continue pretending am okey
with just being friends. ” he poured out.
Maria, looked at him with a sigh,
“You are a good man and am glad you have stayed by my side and helped me cope especially
with my new family, but I can’t promise you anything at the moment.

Am not ready Musonda and I don’t want to hurt you nor our friendship. ” she responded.
“I understand, I just wanted you to know and I want you to take your time and when you are ready
I will be here waiting,” he had smiled.
Now seeing her so worked out, made Musonda feel for her. He was in agreement with Maria’s grand father who had suggested Maria goes back to get her son and came over to stay with him.

Maria was reluctant knowing going to Paul wouldn’t just mean re-living her past but that it wasn’t
going to be easy to convince Paul to let the baby go.

Picking some fight with Paul was the last thing she wanted..

“Well if you want to go then, I will take you myself tommorow Maria,” Musonda told her.
She had moved out of the quarter and was now staying with her grand father after writting her final
grade 12 exams.She however didn’t stop her work.

“Are you sure? ” She asked him.
” I wanted to get with the morning bus tomorrow I think it’s best you stay back Musonda I really
don’t want to bother you” she told him.
“We are friends my dear, if I can’t be there for you when you need support then what kind of friend
am I? Just prepare yourself and I will come pick you up tomorrow” he told her.

“If you insist my dear,” she shrugged.
“Let me head back home then I tell my grand father, you know how he is with such issues I hope
he won’t start his preaching of me going to grab back my son. ”

“Well what do you expect Maria, he’s just trying to take the place of dad in your life and am sure
he wants you not to make the same mistakes he made with his own son, your father”
“Yeah , you are right my dear. I will have to do that but for now I will let it be. It’s the health of my
son am worried about for now” she sighed as Musonda handed her a glass of pure juice drink.
In the evening before Maria went to bed she called Chanda’s phone to find out how the baby was.
