Zahir and I spent yesterday together and got to know each other more. Apart of yesterday, I was able to call my boss and quit my stripping job, he wasn't mad, he wished me success in life. Today, before anything happens, Zahirs taking me to the hospital to see his mother, and I'm still nervous even though he told me not to worry. I was now in the shower of all things that could possibly go wrong. What if she hates me? What if she thinks I'm not good enough? What if she thinks I'm ugly? What if she tells Zahir to leave me? This was only making things worse. I quickly calmed my nerves by the time my shower was over, and walked into my adjoined closet. I picked out my light blue jeans, a plain white tee, and my light pink vans. I dressed my outfit up with some gold accessories. When I was all done, me and Zahir walked out the house and went on our way to see his mom. The whole way there, I could feel Zahir burning a hole through my cheek, but I didn't dare to utter a word. The car came to a halt, and Zahir spoke, "We're here".
"Okay", I responded
"Chantel, please pull it together"
"Okay"
"If all you gonna say is okay, just stay in the car. I'm not bullshitting with you. Do you know you're the first female that I'm actually bringing to meet my moms? And you sitting here okaying me like this is a fucking game"
"Zahir, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm scared I'm worried she won't like me"
"Don't sweat it she's gonna love you, and even if she doesn't now, she will learn to love you just like I do"
"Zahir, you love me?"
"Yes Chantel I think I do"
"I think I love you too Zahir"
We stared in each others eyes and we shared the most passionate kiss ever. When we pulled away, we got out of the car, and linked hands walking into the building. When we got there, we signed in, and walked a couple of doors where Zahir reached for the knob, and I saw this pretty old lady laying and watching television.
"Good Afternoon Ma" Zahir said
"Hi baby, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" She asked
"I wanted to surprise you, did it work?" He said
"Yes indeed it did, now who's that pretty girl you brought along with you?" She said pointing at me
"Ma, this is my girlfriend Chantel, I brought her so y'all could me eachother" he said
"Zahir has told me so much about you, it's nice to meet you Mrs.-" I said
"Oh please child, call me Mama, come have a seat next to me, this has to be serious if Zahir brought you to meet me", she said
I walked over to her bed a sat in the chair next to it, while Zahir sat on the footside of her bed.
"So Chantel, how old are you, what do you do?" She said
"I'm 20 years old, I um... used to be a dancer. But, now I'm actually helping Zahir out with one of his businesses" I said
"Okay, what are your intentions with my son?" She said
"Zahir and I love eachother, and I haven't felt like this in a while. I plan on starting a family with him, and staying with him FOREVER" I smiled
"Zahir you got you a good girl, you bet not mess this up" she scowled him
"I won't Ma, I promise" he smiled
"Now, I don't know if Zahir has told you. But, I'm suffering from cancer, which explains why you came here to meet me. I always told Zahir I wanted to meet my daughter in law before I left this world, and he indeed did grant me my wish. The two of you were meant to be together, when I leave I'm trusting you to take care of him. I want you to show him both motherly and wifely love. Can you do that for me sweetie" she cried
"Yes Mama I will, but please don't talk like that. There's treatment you could go through, we could take care of you" I sniffed
"Ma, stop saying stuff like that, I'm taking you outta this place, and getting you a at home nurse, we're not done fighting this" Zahir said
"I've been fighting this for years, I ain't got no more fight in me. This is all apart of God's plan, if he says I'm going to die this way, there is nothing any of us could do to change it" she said
"Ma, please let me help you. I love you" Zahir said
"I love you too baby" she said
For the rest of the time, we just kept his mom some company, we even took her out for dinner. By the time we left, it was around 10pm. She told me to come by sometimes and keep her company, and I was going to make sure I did that. Zahir was right, his mom and I hit it off amazingly, and I couldn't be happier.
