That night,Evans drove Arianna home,he opened the door for her.
She muttered thanks with a faint smile and got down from the car. They both walked towards the door.
Arianna stopped at doorpost and turned to him.
"Thanks for the ride, and everything".
"You are my responsibility now,there's no need to thank me over a mere ride and everything"Evans replied softly.
Arianna nodded slowly.
"Don't you want him back, he is being sincere you know, I don't know what you are up to but...you have to make a decision"Evans stated.
Arianna looked away from him.
"I've made a decision and that is I will marry you".
"Do you love me?"
The question hit her hard.
"Well I will learn to okay!"she yelled out, then she lowered her voice. "I am sorry for yelling out at you".
Evans sighed.
"I love you Arianna...I am real, it started with my obsession about my brother but now...it's the reverse, maybe this is my fate, I have to accept it, even if I know you may never fall inlove with me, so if your decision will help you heal faster,I am in ,I promised I will be a good husband and father to your baby ".
Arainna's eyes widened.
"How did you know?"
She said ,as her hand slowly touched her stomach,tears clouding her eyes.
Evans smiled, he held her face,and kissed her forehead.
"Have a great night".
Arianna could remember,he helped her to buy the pregnancy test kit, she smiled back.
"Thanks...you too".
She watched him walk back to his car and drove off, she waved slowly at him till he got out of sight.
Her tears rolled down her chin freely. She sniffed and blinked severally to seal it in, she turned she thumbed the doorbell.
******
Andre got up for the twelfth time, battling with himself whether or not to take the step. He fought against all odds and with a deep breath,he stepped out from the couch and headed to the big door infront of him.
It took another battle to knock at the door, everything reminded him of his first knock at this door when he was only five.
He couldn't remember the details but he is sure his hands were shaking more than they are now. Probably bruised with blood and scars, maybe abused back then and needed someone to talk to.
"Come in".
Hitler's voice came.
Andre held his breath and walked into the room.
Mr Hitler and his wife Emily stared at him as though he was a stranger more accurately a zombie who appeared out of no where.
"I want to talk with you"Andre said gently.
Mr Hitler and his wife exchange glances.
"You came into my room for the first time in twenty years asking for a chat, well I want to hear what this idiot got to say"Mr Hitler stated with a strict tone.
His wife was applying her body cream when Andre entered, she went on, ignoring his presence.
"I ...came to ..ask for your forgiveness"Andre stated,with his head bowed,his two fist clenched shakily.Tears wetting the tiled floor and didn't appear to be over soon.
Mr Hitler and his wife exchange glances, Emily giggled softly and continued with her face cream.
Mr Hitler glanced back a Andre with a grimace.
"The hell are you here for? Spit it out".
Andre fell hard on his knees,he must certainly get that knee cap bruised after hitting it that hard.
"Please stop them, don't let Evans get married to her,I will do anything".
He cried,his shoulders shuddering uncontrollably.
Mr Hitler laughed out heartily.
"Now my foolish son came to me after years of ignoring my invitations for a father son chat, because of some hole, will their marriage hurt you so bad?"
Andre shamelessly nodded as a kid who had no choice.
"Then the marriage will certainly happen".
Mr Hitler stated unapologetically.
Andre raised his head slowly to meet his gaze.
"Now get lost"Mr Hitler instructed.
Andre dark eyes stabbed him for minutes, then he walked out of the room. Aliecia was evarsdropping on their conversation,when he got out ,she ran after him.
"Andre!.."
But he ignored her, walked straight to the garage, he enters one of his cars and drove off.
******ORPHANAGE HOME*****
Rev sis Angela walked into the room, where Julia was attending to one of the kids who had a bruise from his cycling game.
"Julia, the strange man from the other night is back again".
Julia eyes widened at the realization of the identity of the do called strange man, she left everything and ran out of the house.
The kids curious to know what was happening, peeped from the windows, Angela joined them too.
Julia stood infront of the building while Andre was standing feets apart,his face pale and wet.
None said a word for close to a minute just staring.
"I need your help Mother"Andre spoke out.
Julia gasped out as the tears came up her throat,she ran and hugged him tightly,crying.
