Leaving everything unsettled

Edna boarded a bus home, packed some of her things and made sure she had her card with her. She took a taxi and told the driver she was going to a hotel. They drove off and the taxi finally came to a halt and she alighted from it

"Hey ma'am, my money" The driver quickly called her attention

"Oh!" She exclaimed. "There you go" She dipped her hand into her purse and brought out some money. "You can keep the change" She said to the man

"Good customers are hard to find these days, thank you ma'am", he said and smiled revealing his gap tooth. Edna smiled back at him and headed to the hotel. There, at the reception, she saw a receptionist smiling. Her mood changed immediately when she remembered Rex. She walked over to where the receptionist was with her shoe tapping on the floor recklessly

"I need a room" She said to the receptionist and the lady of about 26 looked up at her and smiled before replying 'Oh! You're welcome ma'am' The receptionist replied, trying to sound polite

"I need a room" Edna replied fast, not wasting time

"Okay, you came at the right time, actually there is only a single room left here. When do you intend on leaving ma'am?" The receptionist asked

"Till when I'd figure out it's high time I leave, Edna retorted and snatched the key from her hand

"What a lady!" She heard the receptionist exclaimed as she went back to work

Edna laid in my bed and gently closed her eyes. She thought about everything she and Rex had shared together and how he had confessed his profound love to her. She opened her eyes and tears streamed down the side of her left eye. She used her palm to rub her face then she sat upright.

"What am I going to do?" She asked herself amidst tears. Numerous thoughts were forming in her head like; 'do I really deserve this?' 'Was he really at fault?' 'Have I acted stupidly by saying I don't wanna see him anymore?' 'Am I the one at fault?' 'Should I go back to him?'

"What? Hell no!" She shouted to herself. "Am never going to beg him, what does he take me for? Am I not good enough for him? Why did he betray the trust I have for him and the love? He is a MURDERER and there's no way I'm gonna return to him" She cried aloud and later got tired.

"I am going to move on with my life. I don't need anyone", She assured myself and laid in the bed and after a while, she drifted to sleep.
