I'm at the airport with John and my wonderful friend Collins.My one month stay was great thanks to everyone I met in Italy except Him.
He never came durring the weekends as he promised.He rather travelled to other places for job's sake.I was not happy but I could not blame my man.I knew he'll do anything to make me comfortable.I also knew he had a standard choice which won't be me if things grew rough.
I loved him still.
His adoptive family catered for me like a princess.David and Eve were almost spoiling me.
I had so many gifts to go back with.I was sure my girls were eager to hear ,see and comment.

''Oh come - on Collins don't be upset.I'll be glad to have you around for christmas as you promised." I said holding Collins very close to me.He was the saddest of the two. John was a strong man.He did not get emotional that easily.

"I miss you already Chris.'' Collins replied very sad.

I hated to cry in public so I tried to laugh.I was missing Collins already too.



I landed at Nsimalen.My Sister was there to pick me up.The girls could not miss this.Everyone fell on me shouting and taking pics.I was tired.Knowing my girls complaining of such would be a fatal joke so I played on.

At home my friends had organised a welcome party.I was so happy.I shared gifts i brought to everyone presents.

"Christa please start talking.I hope you're pregnant." Maria was the most courageous of all my friends.She adviced me to secretely conceive for Him and tell him later on.She new how crazy in love I was and how I'll rather wait my whole life for Him to ask for a child from me.
She really never liked our relationship and she will tell me that to the face.

''How can you sin and mess up at the same point Christa? Dating a mared man who lives miles away.You must really be insane!" She will frequently complain.

''NO MADAM I'm not pregnant please don't start." I harshly replied to end the upcoming drama.Thank God she understood.


After the party, everyone left.I was too tired to check my mails.
I took a shower and ran to my bedroom.Oh how I missed this place.
I sat on my big and empty bed.On the wall infont of me,I looked at the smiling portrait of Him and I.
I smiled at it too.

This was actually crazy.We were hanging there,stock on a piece of wood like man and wife bonded in holy matrimony.

Such a nice frame.So nice that it's place was no where else but a hidden corner of my appartment.Even my palour could not habour the scandal .

It was a Saturday.I had to resume work on monday.Oh my God.Work again.I still had to face and bare my immediate boss Jim.He was such a parrot.He knew I was dating Him and would frequently tease me when ever he knew Him was around.He usually collecred incentives from his visiting friends to woe me for them.I hated that guy in some strange manner.

My phone rang.Him was calling at one am.I rejected his call.I was angry...
