In Love with the Wrong Person 1

EPISODE 1

- Mom: have you finally decided where you're going to go to university this year?

- Me: yes, mom, Parakou. They say they have the best doctors who teach medicine

- Mom: hum! It's going to be complicated, Cynthia, I don't know anyone there.

- Me: I know, mom, everything has a beginning. I could get through it, plus I'm a big girl now.

- Mom: big girl you say, come back down to earth, you're only 18, I'll remind you.

- Me: ah, come on, mom,

- Mom: you obviously feel ready

I answer her, nodding my head

- Me: yes, I'm ready, I'll have to leave home sooner or later, mom

Since I was little, I've always loved the white coat, being the person who helps sick people, for me it's the best job in the world.

I live in Cotonou and I should go to Parakou to continue my studies, it was the first time that I should leave my mother, I have no relatives in Parakou, I should live alone.

I was impatient to leave my mother to finally live alone, live without having to tell anyone about my outings. Wear the kind of clothes that suit me... Phew!! the list is long. I would just like to be free of everything.

[A month later...]

- me: I'm taking the 7am bus and you're still not ready, I don't want to miss the bus please hurry up mom.

- mom: one more moment Cynthia, I'm almost there.

-- me: yes that's it, you told me the same thing 10 minutes ago

I don't like being late, I woke up quickly to get ready, my mother should drop me off with her car at the station, but apparently she takes her time getting ready.

I was already sitting in the living room waiting for her, a few moments later, I see her coming down the stairs. She had worn a dress that didn't cover her knee, very sexy, showing off her curves. Ah! You could say that my father has good taste.

- you're very lovely mom

- Thanks Cynthia "she replied with a beautiful smile"

- ok let's go

- you didn't forget anything

- no everything is there. I called dad, I told him I was leaving today

- what did he say

- he wished me a good trip and sent me lots of kisses, you know him.

- Okay, give me the car keys

- here!

I get in the car and head to the station...

She dropped me off as promised. The bus was already ready to start, luckily we arrived on time.

I got out of the car and a young man ran towards me to help me take down my suitcases then put them on the bus.

- my darling give me a hug '' with a sad look, she couldn't hide her languor ''

- I'm going to miss you a lot "I said closing my lips "

- you too Cynthia, the house will be empty without you "while flowing tears on emotion "

- Stop crying, you're going to ruin your makeup " I hand her a tissue to wipe away her tears "

My eyes suddenly redden, it was the first time I would have to leave my mother for a long time.

Pamm ... pamm ... !!

It was the driver's class, only me left, I hug my mother again. I smelled her perfume on her neck, I didn't want to let go of her.

- see you soon mom " I said before pulling away from her "

- yes my sweetie, see you soon take care of yourself. I love you

- I love you too mom.

~~ On the bus ~~

Sitting by the window, I had put on my headphones and I was listening to my playlist, my head was out of the window and I was observing the beautiful nature that presented itself before my eyes.

The journey was not boring. The driver was driving very fast and after 5 hours we arrived in Parakou, but not yet at the bus station.

I took my headphones off my ear by pushing the window to contemplate the city. The burning sun of this new city penetrated me through the window, buildings everywhere and I could hear the cries and snoring of cars and motorbikes. I felt that I was going to like it here.
