Fate

Chapter 10

    Justin walked in just when Brandon had finished his snack and gone back to his room.

    " son" Mrs Kriss noticed the dull mood in his son , who didn't look back at her , instead he walked straight to his bedroom shutting the door with a thud ,  kicking everything in the room and breaking everything ,  throwing everything he found close to him to the floor.

    " Justin" his mother could hear everything from down and had to come to know what the problem was.

After her failed attempt to convinve Justin  to open the door, she went ahead and took the spare key and opened it.

    " leave me alone mum!" Justin said angrily to his mother.

  " no am not leaving this time " she was now getting stubborn getting closer to his son "talk to me son am your mother what is it , tell me" She went calmly to him.

   " am i a bad man" Justin now leaned to his mother arms, just like a little boy.

    "No son you are not , look how happy your son is for knowing you"

  " then why ,  can't she talk to me , why can't she forgive me mum" Justin was now breaking down sitting weakly at his bed , his mother holding him.

    " Have you asked her to forgive you,  ?"

    " i try" he said looking down feeling guilty.

    " tell me everything son , what is happening?"

    Justin looked at his mother just like the days when he was a young boy when he used to confide in his mother, he needed someone to talk to and his mother was here eager to listen to him,  he didn't know how but he found himself talking saying how he was hurt , how he  felt guilty  for what happened to Sandra , his love for Stacey his mistakes thoughtless  actions and bitterness.... her mother felt his son pain he was just but a man , she felt bad looking at his son cry , he had always act strong but now he just couldn't fake it , he needed help.

    "Then  do what you feel right in your heart , okay "
Mrs Kriss tried her best to comfort her son ,  realising  he had really tried to be a better man and she believed he could be a better man ,  she advised her son but let the decision be his choice.

    " don't give up son, you love her? dont you?" Mrs Kriss asked his son who had now wiped his tears off his eyes , feeling relieved half the burden after talking to his mother.

*********

    "Yes layla  i still love him, and i hate myself for it, he has done so much harm to me , he is like a monster ,  but i love him with his monstrouisity , i feel like a helpless person"

    "  Stacey dont hate yourself, for that,  tell him the truth go after him, if he makes you happy don't give up on him " layla adviced her. The two were conversing , Stacey needed to talk to someone about everything that had been happening. They were in the middle of there conversation when they heard a knock at the door " someone is at the door let me go check who it is" layla went for the door.

    " Brandon ? Why are you here so late where's your dad" Stacey was caught by surprise his son was with Mrs Kriss.

    " Justin said you can now stay with him,  " Mrs Kriss answered back at Stacey who did not understand the change of mind of Justin.

    " what about the court order" layla inquired 

    " dont worry aunt layla, dad told me its solved already" Brandon said abit excited and partly sad ,layla excused herself to pick a phonecall ,  as Brandon walked over to take a glass of water after hugging his mother.
