Chapter5

The last time that Amara had called her parents, it had been to tell them that she might be forced to come home, and now it was to tell them that she was staying put with a new husband at her side. She needed to beg their secrecy and support, so that she could stay with Jason in America and finish everything she had started here. This time, it was her mother who answered the phone.

"Amara, thank God!" she breathed when she heard her daughter's voice. "I was going crazy with worry! After what happened with your father, I didn't know what you would do!"

"Well you don't need to worry about that anymore, Ma,” Amara told her firmly. “It's all been taken care of."

"Oh, I am so relieved. Has your visa finally come through?"

"No." Amara told her, her nerves steeling for what she would say next. "Ma, I have some news. You should probably sit down."

"Sit down? What for? Are you alright?" Her mother was worried again.

"I'm fine, Ma, but I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" Her mother asked in a thin voice.

Amara drew a deep breath and decided that the best way to go through with it was just to say it to her. "I've married an American man and I am staying here in the United States as his wife."

There was an eternal second of silence on the line, and then her mother gasped loudly, sucking her breath in. "What? Amara, please tell me that you are joking!"

She had known it would be difficult for her mother and father to hear, and she knew that her mother would be far more understanding about it than her father. She had hoped against hope that it would go this way and that she could tell her mother, and that her mother would then tell her father.

That way, he would have a chance to cool down before he talked to her, and her mother could be there in between them as a sort of buffer for the anger she knew her choice would evoke in him. There would eventually be hell to pay for her marriage to Jason, at least as far as her father was concerned.

"I'm not joking. His name is Jason. He is my professor. We are married and I need you and Pa to tell anyone who asks that we have been engaged for some time."

She could hear the stress and anxiety in her mother's voice. "Why would you do that?" Her mother exclaimed, beginning to sob. "How could you marry a man without talking to us about it, first?"

Frustration built up in Amara and she felt that she had to speak her mind, at least in some small part. "You gave me no choice, Ma!" Amara retorted. "You are angry at me for marrying a man without your permission when you and Pa wanted me to marry a man without mine! Jason is a good, kind man who has done me a great mercy in asking for my hand.
