On her way out Betty send a text to mama Kelen because she can’t leave Eyob alone like that.

After notifying mama Kelen, Betty goes to her rental place to pack up her things and to leave.

While she was packing her phone rings and it was from mama Kelen.

Betty hesitated a little and then answered the phone.

“Betty where are you my child?” Mama Kelen’s anxious voice sounded from the other part of the phone.

“Mama I am leaving I am sorry I can’t take it anymore” Betty said.

“Please my child wait for me don’t leave before l come tell me where you are” Mama Kelen pleads.

“Mama there is nothing to talk about I am not changing my mind” Betty replied.

“Child just tell where you are I won’t take much of your time, if you have to leave you will, just hear me out once” Betty can’t stand mama Kelen’s pleading so she tells her where she is.

After half an hour Mama Kelen arrived to Betty’s place.

Then she gets in and stands in front of Betty.

“Mama please have seat” Betty offers.

“No I will stand, just here me out” Mama kelen’s eyes filled with tears.

“Mama please take a seat and we will talk” Betty insists so Mama Kelen sited.

“My child Betty why are you leaving?” there was anxiety in mama Kelen’s voice.

“Mama I can’t take it anymore I am feeling like snatching my sister’s man” although this is one of her reasons, Betty clearly knows that this is not the main and big one.

“What do you mean? You are just helping him to recover, and you know, your sister would also want Eyob to be fine if she were here.” Mama Kelen was very worried because the doctor clearly told her how Betty is important for Eyob’s Memory.

And she knows her son can’t lose a person he loves again.

When he lost the person he loved before, he was very broken and distant himself from his friends, and he didn’t want to have any love relations with a women until he met Nina.

Then after he met Nina, his wound was healed and he was trying his best to build a relationship with Nina’s family.

So she clearly knows that this time if he finds out that Nina is dead he won’t make it.

“Mama today Eyob was about to kiss me” Betty said.

Mama Kelen was stunned when she heard what Betty said.

When they asked Betty to replace her sister, they didn’t think about things like these, the only thing that they were concerned about was Eyob’s well being.

“…” Mama Kelen couldn’t say a word.

“See you can’t even say a word I don’t want to touch my sister’s man” Betty added.

“But he can’t lose you as well” Mama Kelen’s tears was dropping.

“Please Mama don’t cry you know Eyob is fine it is only his memory so he can get it back slowly, but for me it is like a sin I can’t do this to my sister” there was tears also on Betty’s eyes.

“No you are wrong” then mama Kelen told Betty what the doctor said.

“And you know what happens to Eyob before, and if it was not for that incident you two would have been friends. I don’t think he can make it this time. If he gets to know that Nina is dead. We can’t tell him before his brain healed completely and it is only for one year and two months I will do whatever you want.”

Betty was helpless because she can’t do anything that may harm Eyob.

“Mama Kelen it is not that I want something from you I am just scared” the two women talk for half an hour and then Betty was agreed not to leave.

……..

In the hospital;

When Eyob wakes up he didn’t see Betty or his mother.

It was Robel who was watching him.

When Eyob sees Roble he frowns and asks.

“Hey, Mr. busy man what are you doing here at working hour and where is Nina?”

Robel smiled when he sees Eyob.

“You finally wake up” he ignored Eyob’s question.

“I asked you where my Nina is.” Eyob frowns.

“Well, well your fiancé went to your mother’s, aunty asked her out I think they have something to do and they will be here soon.” When mama Kelen received Betty’s message that said she was leaving, she asked Robel to go to hospital and accompany Eyob.

As the two men were chatting, the door pushed open and Mama Kelen and Betty came.

When Eyob sees who comes his face filled with smile.

“Look how happy you get, I was wondering if your eye brows are attached together just now” Robel teases.

“Whatever.” Eyob glares at Robel.

When mama Kelen sees her son smiling and teasing with Robel, her heart filled with joy.

“I am sorry son I toke Nina away” mama Kelen apologized.

“Yes mom why did you take my medicine away I was in a so much pain” Eyob pouted as a child.

“What a cry baby.” Robel commented.

At this time Eyob didn’t say a word but gives a meaningful look to Robel.

“Well I am here now Eyu.” Betty was trying to suppress her emotions.

Then she walks to his bed and sits beside him.

Then Eyob holds her hand.

Betty feels like he holds her heart by his hand.

Whenever he touches her butterflies will swim trough her abdomen.

Whenever she is near him she feels like she owns the world.

But her mind always reminds her that he doesn’t belong to her.

But she agreed to stay by his side until he gains his memory back and his brain heals completely.

And that may take a year and two months.

That means she has to act as a real couple with him and she has to do everything that Nina would do if she were here.

She decides to enjoy herself for the time being and to be with Eyob without hesitation.

She decides to ignore any other feelings like guilt towards her sister for the time being.

Because she loves Eyob from the bottom of her heart and the feeling that she suppressed for a 3 years and the barrier that she built around her heart is broken apart.
