Thereafter she gave me a hug and from that gesture, I could tell that she was undoubtedly thankful. Around 12 p.m. she drove back to Polokwane and fortunately, I was less ill at ease because she was driving during midday and that really put me at ease. When she arrived home, dusk was already at hand. I suppose it took her longer to make arrival because s...

The next morning came about and it seemed my mother was at sea, for she could not remember anything regarding the previous night. Furthermore, she was extremely worried that she had spent the night away from home without informing her husband but little did she know that I had already briefed my father on her behalf and I immediately liberated her from discomfort by declaring my father’s awareness of her whereabouts. There-upon she succumbed to tranquility but as she was gradually gaining remembrance of the encounter she had with Chloe Rush, misery infiltrated her uplifted mood and tore her into irreversible pieces. I was honestly hoping that she would be at ease by this time, but it seemed I was biting off more than I could chew.  My mother tried to assemble herself for work but I politely asked her to refrain for a day or two, and surely my father would understand, the kind of state my moth...

It was already nightfall and the kind of state she was in, troubled me with no remorse. I had insisted on booking myself a guest house because it was late for her to drive me to Johannesburg and thereafter drive back to Polokwane. I was honestly not at ease with that but she was always obedient to keeping her end of the bargain when rendered. Upon her plea of my accompanying her, she gladly promised to take me back to my place after the event and she was obediently doing just that. When we arrived in Johannesburg, it was already 20:30 p.m. and like I said before, I was not at ease with my mom having to drive back to Polokwane during the night and her dismay added fuel to the fire, it got me more anxious. What’s more, my mother was not fond of alco...

Chapter Eight - Self-Regarding Decisions

   More Novels By Refioe Mooi Purchase Here Chapter Eight - Self-Regarding Decisions My mother was an accountant by profession, a brilliant one for that matter and one could easily foretell the latter without hardship. Henceforth, even when she was still in college, her grades were always delightful but I dare say that accounting was not the only thing my mother was fond of, for she was also in love with poetry and she dearly loved reading poems. Therefore, from time to time she would attend poetry sessions, and both my father and I would urge her to share her poems as well during poetry sessions that were often held in Ivy Park, a beautiful suburb in Polokwane but she was always hesitant. However, one could not blame her for not rising to that occasion, Ivy Park poetry events consisted of well articulated poets and I am not saying they were above my mother’s pay grade but one had to be readily sure before taking part, yet those poetry sessions were just for pl...
