I think I dozed off to sleep when it’s almost morning because I had stayed awake half of the night drowning in fantasies.
I was awakened by Henry, when I sprang out of bed, I saw that he’s all dressed up.
“Good morning” I greeted rubbing at my face, sleep was still disturbing me sef.
“How’s your night babe?” He replied pecking me.
“As gorgeous as you!” I said with a smile eyeing him.
“I see, I heard a bell ring early this morning, don’t you have lectures this morning?”
“Oh yeah! Later in the day, you are all dressed up, why so early?” I asked standing up from the bed.
“I have to go back to PH. I will come visit you again, my boss might start complaining because it’s been about two weeks I went to work” he explained curtly.
“Well…okay. Can you at least eat something before you go?” I said feeling sad chewing my lower lip.
“I made tea and bread, I even kept for you so help yourself. I will get going now so I would be home before night falls” he said.
Then, I realized how early he must have waken to get going. I had thought we would spend today together.
I felt really sad that I can’t even get a chance to talk to him about my feelings for him and I don’t have the balls to say it now.
“Mmm…take care of yourself and don’t think too much about that…girl, you… deserve better and… I wish you journey mercies” I said.
“Come here babe” he drew me into his arms for a hug.
He kissed me on my forehead and took his leave, I stood on the door and watched him until he is out of view.
I felt like something special was walking away from me, I felt like I shouldn’t have let him leave, my heart missed him and longed for him.
I could only hug my door and wish he would just turn around and run to me.?
*Three weeks on*
It was exactly what I felt!
No calls, No texts, No chat!?????
I felt lost, I blamed myself. He’s probably paying me back for all the snubs and missed calls.
I called and chatted but got no response, combining school and work was too stressful plus the distress that his ignorance caused, I became afraid I might fail my exams.
I resigned from all the jobs, it’s not like I need money, I had used it to distract myself and I still need it now but I don’t want to disappoint my parents no matter what.
Being their only child, I always want to make them proud and never make them feel like they should have been favoured with more children.
Quiting my jobs didn’t gimme the time for my studies as I craved for, do you know why? I guess yes!
You already know, I keep wondering and thinking about him and why his behavior towards me changed.
The little times I called my parents, I asked after him and they said he is doing good.
I even called his mother and he confirmed that nothing is wrong with him, that maybe he simply didn’t want to call me or reply when I do.
I went to the extent of calling his sister who told me that she isn’t with them anymore, that she is at her fiance’s place planning her wedding.
I was surprised, she’s getting married and no one cared to tell me, what a great shock!??
I prayed for my exams to end quick so I would go home and see the way things are going myself.
To my own favour, exams came and was gone as quick as I prayed for and though I didn’t do an excellent work as before but I passed.
I packed up a little belongings and boom! Home I went.
When I got home, I got a very bad news. I prayed for death…?
I was broken for real. I wept like a child and I almost cursed my life.
