BATTLE FOR HIS HEART
EPISODE 15 (Final Episode)
The tension in the room slowly faded as Kunle held both his wife’s and mother’s hands. For the first time, there was hope for peace.
Amara took a deep breath. “Mama, if we are going to move forward, I need honesty. Will you truly respect our marriage?”
Mama Kunle nodded. “Yes, Amara. I have realized my mistakes. I was too controlling, and I didn’t give you a chance.” She sighed. “I have no excuse, only regret. I just want my son back. And I want us to be a real family.”
Amara studied her carefully. She had been hurt too many times before, but this time, something in Mama Kunle’s eyes seemed different.
“I will give you another chance,” Amara said softly. “But I need time to trust you again.”
Mama Kunle nodded quickly. “I understand. And I will earn that trust.”
Kunle let out a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding. He squeezed Amara’s hand. “Thank you, my love.”
Then he turned to his mother. “Mama, I love you. But from now on, there will be boundaries. Amara is my wife. You must respect that.”
Mama Kunle swallowed hard, then nodded. “I will.”
The following weeks were a time of healing. Mama Kunle made an effort to change.
Instead of interfering, she asked Amara how she could help. She visited only when invited and stopped making hurtful comments.
One day, she even surprised Amara with a home-cooked meal. “I made this for you,” she said shyly. “I know I never treated you like a daughter before, but I would like to try now… if you’ll let me.”
Amara was taken aback. She hesitated, then smiled. “Thank you, Mama.”
For the first time, they shared a real moment of connection.
Kunle watched it all with relief. It hadn’t been easy, but his mother was finally learning to let go.
And just when things seemed perfect, life gave them a beautiful surprise.
One morning, Amara woke up feeling unwell. Kunle noticed she had been more tired than usual. “Are you okay?” he asked.
“I don’t know,” Amara murmured. “I feel different.”
Kunle’s heart skipped a beat. “Should we take a pregnancy test?”
Amara’s eyes widened. “Kunle… do you think—?”
A few minutes later, they stood in the bathroom, staring at the test.
Two pink lines.
Kunle’s breath caught. “Amara… you’re pregnant.”
Tears filled Amara’s eyes as she laughed. “We’re going to be parents!”
Kunle lifted her in his arms, spinning her around. “This is the happiest day of my life!”
That evening, they went to Mama Kunle’s house to give her the news. She opened the door and gasped when she saw their excited faces. “What is it?”
Kunle smiled. “Mama, we have something to tell you.”
Amara took a deep breath. “I’m pregnant.”
Mama Kunle’s hands flew to her mouth as tears spilled from her eyes. “Oh, my God! My son… my daughter… I am so happy!”
She pulled Amara into a tight embrace, and this time, Amara hugged her back fully.
“I was so wrong,” Mama Kunle whispered. “I almost destroyed everything. But God has given me another chance.”
Kunle placed a hand on his mother’s shoulder. “Yes, Mama. And we are grateful that you changed before it was too late.”
Mama Kunle wiped her tears and smiled. “From now on, I will only love and support you both.”
And for the first time, Kunle, Amara, and Mama Kunle truly became a family.
