Mauyan's Secret is the story of a young brilliant girl who caught the fancy of the hottest guy in her class and school when she was in junior high school. The guy's name is Dawson and they dated for some years (despite all odds). They, however, parted ways owing to Mauyan's claim that Dawson cheated with their mutual friend which he denied.

Years later, Dawson who was now very rich searched for Mauyan on various social media platforms till he was able to contact her. She asked him about the source of his wealth because she was surprised as to how he became so rich; but he kept that aspect of his life as a secret from her. They became friends again but Dawson wanted more even though he now has a baby mama and Mauyan, a Fiancee. He came up with sinister plans to make Mauyan his at all cost.

This is a story of Love, Betrayal, Loss, Crime and Secret...Enjoy!!!

Mauyan's Secret

It's been a year since Dawson and I started dating. He has been the most caring guy so far. Surprising, the girls in my class have become less aggressive towards me. Even my parents are yet to find out about my relationship with him and somehow, I am happy about it.


However, one thing keeps bothering me. Farida and Dawson have gotten uncomfortably close. I know it can never be what I am thinking but how do I explain my best friend knowing things about my boyfriend that I do not even know?


Many times, I stumble on their conversations and I don't even understand a thing and none of them is ever willing to let me in their gists. Sometimes, it feels like they are discussing some kind of personal issue after which they would just suddenly burst out laughing.


I really do not want to feel like I am getting unnecessarily jealous over something that might not even be happening. I trust Dawson and Farida so much. They would never do anything to hurt me and I really do not want to start overthinking about this.


Just that, same thing is happening again this hot afternoon and I am honestly not having it. I am getting seriously tired of both of them talking in codes and trying to hide things from me. Each time I approach them to get the gist, they just suddenly change the topic and I would automatically get lost in the whole conversation.


I approached them this afternoon in the corner where they were seated and as predicted, they changed the topic. All of a sudden, Farida's face became gloomy. I pretended like I didn't know they changed the topic and just moved with the current flow of the conversation. I sat with them and showed concern about Farida's face that was looking really unpleasant.


"Farida Love, why are you looking bothered, what's the matter?"


"I don't know how to tell you Mauyan", she said looking more worried.


"We don't hide anything from each other remember?"


"Wait, would you pretend like you didn't see me Mauyan?" Dawson interrupted.


"Ofcourse, I saw you. You saw me earlier too and decided to ignore me and came to seat here, so why should I acknowledge your presence when I have a friend's unhappiness to attend to?"


Looking really surprised and hurt at the same time, Dawson said, "Why are you being so harsh, where is all these coming from?"


"Dawson just leave me alone!", I said with a very flat tone and a final note in my voice.


With his mouth agape, Dawson stood up and walked out. Farida who was not really paying attention to our previous bantering gave me a look of disapproval the minute Dawson left and was about to start lecturing me when I gave her the 'Don't you dare' look. She immediately shrugged and looked away.


"Better" I said, "Now will you talk to me or should I force it out of you?"


"Easy ma'am, your blood has suddenly become hotter than mine", Farida said in a very funny way that made both of us laugh.


"Okay, tell me now dear, you know I don't like it when you are like this", I said with a pleading voice, after recovering from the laughter.


"Alright Mauyan, we relocated to another city and as a result would be leaving this school soon", she said in a rush.


"You what!!!!" I said totally thrown off guard "Oh my days!!!"


"You see why I didn't want to mention it to you just yet?", Farida said.


Tears started rolling down my eyes. Farida suddenly stood up to embrace me, partly because she didn't want the other people in the class to see me crying, I presume.


"Mauyan, stop this now, it is not the end of the world" she tried comforting me. "Common girl, I am not relocating to the mortuary", she said between her teeth and we both burst out laughing. 


All I kept asking myself while hugging Farida was, "HOW WILL I COPE WITHOUT MY FRIEND?"
