The Changing Tides - Season 1 - Episode 62

Maria looked at the two guys exchanging greetings and her heart beat faster. The look on Paul’s
face showed her he seemed to have moved on as the presence of another man besides her didn’t
seem to affect him.

“Well Musonda, this is Paul, the father to the baby, and Paul, this is Musonda” she introduced
them.

“Sorry we just burged in.. I had to come see the baby I was so worried,” she tried to smile.

“I hope you don’t mind Paul, and if it’s so much of a bother, we can take him and I can see him
from somewhere else, stay with him for some hours and I will surely bring him back later” she
explained looking straight at Paul.

“Oh I see, i cannot say this was not a surprise but since you are here already, you can see him.

You don’t have to take him out after all he’s not well as you know,” Paul responded.

He was still talking when Grace walked from her room and joined them in the sitting room.
“Well!, look who decided to show up” she teased.

“Now you care about your son all of a sudden?” she shouted raising her hand at Maria.

” You surely have no shame Maria, after going awol sleeping with a wagon of men you have the
courage to walk into this house to throw your rubbish in this house? What the hell, Paul please
can you tell this clown and her whatever to leave this house” she added sarcastically.
Musonda charged forward as she finished her sentence,
” call her names again woman and you will have me to face” he spat angrily.
Maria stepped forward and held Musonda pulling him back.

“Come on Musonda, don’t give in to her sacarsm, some people are just not worthy it. ”

“Enough now! ” Paul shouted looking at Grace..

” cuz, go back to your room and please stay out of this” he scolded her.
“Well” Grace made a face,
“don’t say i didn’t warn you Paul, this girl has always caused more harm than good” she said
walking away.

“Chanda Please take me to my son now, I came here for him and not to satisfy people’s ego”
Maria said looking at Chanda who stood quite watching everyone.
“Yes aunty he’s this way he’s sleeping” she told Maria and directed her to the room.
Maria held Musonda by the hand and they walked to the bedroom where The boy was.
She lifted him from his sleep placing him on her laps as she sat.

“Oh my baby, I missed you so much” she whispered hugging and kissing him. .
“Mommy” Paul open his weak eyes looking at his mother..

“yes sonny, am here now it’s alright you will be fine” she whispered to him tears in her eyes.

The feel of a high temperature on Paul’s body getting to her skin.

“Hey, say hi, to uncle Musonda” she smiled at him pointing at Musonda who stood a step away
from them..

“How are you big man?” Musonda smiled holding Paul’s hands. .
“fine,” he responded in a low tone.
“Get well soon okey?” Musonda told him still holding his hand as Maria’s eyes were on her child.

“Let me leave you two alone, I will be outside in the car, call me me if anything” Musonda told
Maria after some minutes of watching her with her kid.
“That’s okay, and thanks for standing up for me there” she smiled at him.
“I won’t let them get to you” he nodded
She removed the things she had bought for baby Paul and handed him some fruits.
“Let’s go we wash them clean sonny” she smiled putting him down and held his hand as they
walked to the kitchen.
