I looked into the mirror hung on the bathroom wall, my eyes were swollen with bags underneath, one Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
could easily tell that I had not slept well yesterday. I looked terrible. I took my toothbrush to brush my
teeth then washed my face with water as I was looking really bad.
I walked out of the bedroom then I noticed the different designer bagscon the bed and even on the
floor, I moved closer to it as I checked each box one after the other, some had clothes in them, some
shoes, bags and some jewellery. They all seemed very expensive and I could guess it was Ridwan that
had gotten it all for me.
I went down the stairs to get food to eat because I was starving, all the tears I had cried the night
before had drained all my energy and I just needed to refill and get fed.
"Good morning ma" Ayo said as she got out from the kitchen meeting me by the door.
"How are you, when did Ridwan leave the house" I asked.
"I am good ma, This morning" She answered
"Did you see all the gifts he ordered for you" Ayo enthusiastically asked.
"Yes, I did" I said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Did you make anything " I asked
"There is food, I made Jollof rice and chicken"Ayo said
"Please can you help me get it to the dining, I need to do something" I said then went up to pick my
phone, I had forgotten it upstairs.
"Alright ma"
The rest of the day went by like the rest of my days in the house, tiring, stressful and very unproductive.
I sat by the desk in the room as I picked up a new novel Kina had brought for me from lagos when she
visited. I had been too engrossed in the book and had not noticed when Ridwan walked in the room.
I looked up then our eyes met, we still weren't talking, he untied his tie as he dropped his brief case on
the floor by the bed and I just stole glances at him while reading my book and behaving like he wasn't
even there.
"Did you see what I bought for you" Ridwan suddenly said.
"Yeah I did, thanks" I said and then went back to reading my book.
"I hope you like it though" he said while moving closer to where I had been sitted.
"Yeah, they were nice" I said
"But you still seem angry though, Tes" he said as he placed his hands on mine over the book I was
reading and then I looked up at him.
"No, I am not" I said
"I know you so well Tes and this is you being Angry about something" He said
"I am not angry"i said
I didn't want to talk at first but then I had no choice but to and I really didn like what had been going on
between the two of us. So much had changed and it wasn't really making me happy.
"Just say something Tes, anything to make me feel like you are not"Ridwan said
I stood from where I was sitting then moved closer to him
"There is so much I want to say to you but I don't even know where to start from"I said.
