TITANIA
I
was inside the office fixing Patricia's schedule for tomorrow. Apparently the
CEO had cancelled the meeting. It was almost time up.
Patricia:
are you done?
Me:
ummh yeah.. all done!
Patricia:
great, so tomorrow you will come on time.
Me:
definitely, thank you so much for this job.
Patricia:
you are welcome sweetie.
I
smiled as I stood up. My phone then started ringing, it was Faith. I picked up
almost immediately.
Me:
hey.
Him:
hey, you are done?
Me:
yes.
Him:
you can come to the parking Lott.
Me:
ok.
I
then hung up.
Me:
ok, see you tomorrow.
I
took my bag then walked out, straight to the elevator. Getting to the garage I
spotted his car. I walked up to it & got inside, he was on the phone. He
smiled as soon as I closed the door & kissed my cheek.
He
dropped the call after a while.
Him:
hey.
Me:
hey.
Him:
how was it?
Me:
for a first day it was ok.
Him:
that’s great. I want to pass by some restaurant I'm ravenous.
Me:
is this what you do normally? Eating at restaurants?
Him:
I'm not really a good Cook & I stay alone so I might as well.
Me:
I don’t mind cooking.
Him:
really?
Me:
yeah.
Him:
ummh ok… so should we go to my place?
Me:
yeah
Him:
great! But I don’t have grocery.
Me:
can't we shop?
Him:
great idea.
He
started driving away. We did shop a bit then he drove to his house. It was a
flat, simple but very beautiful & a bit messy.
Him:
I'm not the neatest person on earth.
Me:
I can see.
Him:
ok let's go to the kitchen.
He
led me to the kitchen.
Him:
ok... this is it.
The
kitchen wasn't so bad either way.
Me:
I think it will do.
Him:
great!
I
unpacked the groceries.
Him:
I'm going to take a quick shower.
Me:
ok.
He
kissed my cheek before walking out. As soon as I started cooking there was a
knock on the door. I kept still for a while but the knocking still persisted &
Faith wasn't coming. I walked to the door then opened it, it was some man &
woman. They didn't look so happy to see me.
Me:
evening
The
woman clicked her tongue then pushed me out of the way & got inside the
house followed by the man. I took a deep breath praying that he would just come
downstairs already!
Me:
good evening
Man:
who are you?
This
man looked like an elder version of Faith, no doubt that he was the father.
Me:
I am Faith’s friend.
Woman:
you see your son has started! Already bringing prostitutes home!
Man:
where is he?
Me:
he's-
Before
I could respond he finally came, I was so relieved. Maybe he could just clear
the whole misunderstanding that was going on.
Him:
Mom! Dad!?
Man:
what is the meaning of this?
Him:
meaning of what?
Woman:
who's she?
She
said pointing at me.
Him:
that’s Titania, my girlfriend.
His
mom started laughing.
Her:
The ancestors must be testing me!
Man:
young lady can you get your things & leave right now!
The
mom saw my bag on the couch then she walked up to it & threw it at me!
Her:
out! & stay away from my son! where did you get this whore?
I
looked at Faith, waiting for him to say something but he just looked down.
Man:
young lady!
I
took my bag then walked out. I don’t even know how I felt that moment, it all
felt like a dream. I walked out of his house, out through the gate & just
started walking. I was just feeling numb that moment. My phone started ringing,
I didn't check who it was but I just answered.
Me:
hello?
Caller:
My beautiful dearest wife!
I
froze.. Kakula!
Him:
stop pretending like you don’t know me.
I
couldn't talk.
Him:
ok Tits, how about we play nice. Just come back home on your own, I booked a
flight ticket for you baby for tomorrow. If you know what's good for you, you
will get in that plane because if I get you Tits! I swear we will attend your
funeral so I suggest you do what's best for you.
He
then hung up. I started running ignoring that I was wearing heels. I just
started wherever the road led me, shaking & crying at the same time.
After
a while a bright light reflected my way, it was a car. It stopped then after a
while I heard his voice behind me but that didn't stop me. I only stopped when
I felt strong arms on me holding me in place.
Him:
I'm sorry.
Me:
Faith no... please.
Rather
he held me tight & I couldn't hold it anymore. I let my tears out.
