When Catherine went home the next day...
Thelma glared at her.
"What kind of a woman are you? Sleeping in other people's house especially a guy's house! You are like a whore!"
Catherine kept her mouth shut even if she was already irked by her mother's degradation of her. She doesn't want to retaliate. She still respects and loves her mother even if it looks like they were drifting apart from each other.
"Mother the guy am sleeping with is my future husband and we are getting married this coming Friday at 3:00 PM. I still want you to be there by my side. Please give us your blessing, Mother," she begged in a gentle voice.
Thelma shook her head and released a deep sigh. "After your wedding me and your siblings will go back to the province. You choose this rapist husband of yours and abandon us your true family!"
Catherine sighed. Tears were about to come out from her eyes. She really can't understand why her mother can't see the brighter side of things?
