The hate and love you give

My birthday is coming up and I need to make things right so i have to travel back home with grandma to Nigeria. I have been living with grandma since i was 10years and now I'm celebrating my 15th birthday. Let me start from a reasonable place.....

My name is obioma Oliver but my mum call me twist. My mum is a very hard working woman, I will say she's the breadwinner of the family. She was born into a rich home and she was raised by a ambitious father. Her dad raised her to be independent and hardworking. My dad on the other hand is always at home, he has no job, he take care of me , let's just say they switch responsibilities. We have a maid who cook and take care of the house. We were happy family until five years ago when I left with grandma to Orlando to study abroad. Three years after i was told mum requested for a divorce and dad was given custodian over me. I wasn't happy though but I have nothing to say as a child. Dad send a voice record of when mum said she regretted having me, I hated her from that day.

Now it my 15th birthday 🎂 and I want to settle the difference between them so we can live happily again. I came back with grandma and was surprised when our maid came to welcome me and she is pregnant, I ask my dad if her husband is also coming for my birthday and he said maybe. I sat in the living room while I wait for breakfast to be ready because out flight came in 6am and we got home 30mins after. Not long after my mum came in, when i saw her I remembered the voice record dad send to me and I hate her even more, she tried to hug me but I ignores her,she came to my room to talk to me and I left the room for her. At the dining table while eating, the maid announced she and my day are engaged and getting married soon, I was passed out and left the table. The door bell rang and a young man came in asking of my mum. I wasn't at the table so I don't know what happened between the adults.

I was outside when the young man came outside and ask I he could sit with me, I ask who he is and he said he's a friend of the family. I was so free to him that I pour out my mind, he felt sorry for me that I am going through adult pain at my age. He ask what i want to become in future and I told him I want to be a judge.I ask his name and he said Adamson. We went inside together to get some juice when my dad met us and told him to stay away from me. Later in the afternoon Adamson went out with my mum and they both came back at night. Adamson was in the living room playing PS5 when i came down from my room to get water,I sat with him and requested he teach me how to play. While we were playing, he ask about my relationship with my mother and I told him how much I hate her, told him what my dad to me about her. He said if I want to be a judge I must learn to listen to both sides. I went to my mum's room and ask her why she left me, why she didn't ask of me, why she regretted having me. She cried and told me it wasn't that way, that my dad took me away from her, that she tried to call several times but I didn't pick her calls, she never said she hated giving birth to me but she said she hated giving birth to me to the wrong man that I deserve a better father. I told her to follow her heart and if she love Adamson she should go for him, she deserves a man like him.

On the day of my birthday, Adamson was gone and the maid was also gone because she caught my dad in the new maid's room. Well it serves her right because my dad cheated my mum sleeping with her and even got pregnant. After cutting the cake my mum gave me a gift and while we were trying to open it my dad knelt down and open a ring, I tapped my mum and she look at him, he started saying how much he love my mum and how he has realised his mistakes, while doing this the door bell rang and the new maid went to open, it was another gift, when I open it was from Adamson and he got me a new PS5. My mum ignored my dad and concentrated on the gift when my dad stood up and started insulting my mum for choosing Adamson and also said Adamson is an escort (male prostitute), I objected and told him he was wrong about that and that Adamson Is a business marketer who closed deals for companies. My mum was dumbfounded and left the room. She went to her room and I followed her, the her friend who was also present followed us. I told her not to listen to dad and if she loves Adamson I am in support of it, she said she doesn't know his whereabout but i told her not to worry. Adamson gave me his address during our discussion before he left.

We went to his address and I called him on phone to come outside that I came to visit him, when he saw me he was amazed, then my mum came out and he was more surprised. He invited us in and we dine together.

Four months later, Adamson proposed to my mum in her office and they got married happily. The hate my dad gave me towards my mum make me hates her as a mother but the love Adamson gave me towards my mum restored and build a strong bound between my mum and I. I sued my dad and my mum gain custody to take me back and my dad lost everything.
