I ran as fast as I could and I didn't stop running till I had reached my car, I started my car and I began crying, I held the staring wheel and placed my head on it. I could not imagine that I would meet him here. He told me to forgive him? after five years, you are asking for my forgiveness. I could only bite my lips when I saw the eagerness in his eyes. My head was throbbing and I shook in tears. " You could not believe me then, so why did you make me loose breathe, why did you Thane, would your sorry bring back the five years that I I had lost without you, my lungs gasped for air. I felt like I was being punched in my heart from within. I was finally moving on, I was happy, I was finally starting to forget your face, your smile, how you speak, how much effect your words had on me, how your arms enveloped me like a marshmallow, how helplessly in love I was with you. I already forgot it, I was about to start up a new life; I was probably going to start off with Luther, he has never treated me wrongly. So why does my heart ache like so, what did you do to me Thane.
I turned on my car engine I recollected myself. I cleared my throat and I called Andrew. " Hello, Andrew I am leaving now. Tell the managers that they should not leave until they had gathered their members and made sure everyone reaches home," I wanted to say if anything comes up that they should call me but I was unlikely to aswer. "if anything, handle it for the night, I will revert tomorrow."
" Are you fine ma'am?The staff that hosted this villa and gave me another trophy since the one they gave you had slipped right on stage. I thought it was kind of them."
" Oh..I- I , " some words hooked in my throat, I could not speak when I realized that the words. I need you back rang in my ears like a bell.
" You can keep, keep." I felt hot rushing tears stream down again, I didn't say a word and I closed my mouth.
" Are you fine Ms. Peace? Am I obliged to know where you are so I could give it to you."
"peeeem."
I ended the call, i turned on my car engine and I zoomed off in the car, I let go off the starring wheel to give it a mind of its own, maybe if the car could drive itself. It would feel the freedom I couldn't . maybe it could drive into the sea or ram into a wall. But at least it would be free. The car moved without me controlling its direction at that moment, this point in time. I could feel my body move side by side as the car went off balance.
" Mommy, mum, mother!" their voices echoed in my head and I took ahold of the steering wheel, before I could hit the truck in front of me. i parked for some time beside the road and I had decided to rest a bit, because I felt unwell.
Mrs. Tolu
I could not understand why Ms peace had been coming back by 3pm in the morning, I was worried to the bones. I tried calling but her number had been switched off. I tried to think positive like she would always say.
I was relieved and caution _conscious when I had hear a knock on the door, " it is me, peace!" she shouted loudly, and I heard a "bam" on the door. I quickly rushed to the door and I found her looking haggardly.
" where did you go?" I said while still opening the door wide open for her.
She slided her foot against the floor, I noticed that her legs had been chapped and dust had enclosed around her fair legs.
" where are your shoes?" Did you walk from outside the compound all the way up here bare footed. The dirt she splattered on the ground bothered me as she walked up the clean white rug with those legs. I knew something was definetly wrong. Peace knew how much I hated dirt and she would never let me feel bad about the dirt cleaning.
I rushed down to where she was to clean her, legs with my handkerchief in my pocket. " what is wrong, peace dear? I know you would never come back this late, or soil the rug. What happened tell me, huh? I settled down next to her on the floor and I touched her feet with the handkerchief and cleaned it slowly. Yup, something is definitely wrong, she would never allow me to clean her legs.
" I met my husband today."
" what! That is great news." I looked up to her in bewilderment and excitement, but it was soon incensed down when I had found out that she had no resplendence in her eyes.
" I hate him so much, th, tha, that is s the ee most shameless part. I could not listen to him, neither t=did I give him the opportunity to speak. I did not want to hear a word from him, yet he said so many things. Like him telling me that he wanted us to get back together. I mean, how can I begine to accept him. I thought he was simply delusional. He even rolled the handki the way I did years ago. She closed her eyes as fresh tears trailed afterwards.
"I always tell this children to love their enemies, but now, now it just seems very hard for me too. How could I not love Thane, he should be one of my easiest enemies to love. But I felt a chunk or resistance here."she touched her chest and patted it twice.
" Let's get rid of that chunk, hmm? I asked in a rising intonation.
