Chapter 41
"What are you talking about dad?"- I replied looking quite surprised by his words
He looked at me for a while and smiled, but Micheal was already getting too tired to even do anything. He is really stressed out at this point and I have already spent much of his time
"Why don't you sit down Gentle man, let me bring some coffee to keep us energized"- My father called out to Micheal who was busy standing at the door
"Sir we only came back so that we can some luggages for our trip. Sorry to say this, but I am quite tired at this point and I could even pass out at any moment"- Micheal replied while taking his seat on the sofa
"That's the more reason I want to prepare some coffee for you all, at least it would give you guys some energy before you get to your destination"- He replied and went straight to the kitchen
Michael looked at me for a while, obviously trying to talk to me through sign language but I can't understand why a he is saying
"Bro tell your dad we need to leave. Am stressed out and I need to rest, besides it's getting dark already"- Micheal called out to me in a low tone
He was right though, it's actually getting dark and it won't be long before the times gets to 9PM. But I can't just walk away from my dad like, it would make him feel bad
"We can't just leave like that, that would make him feel bad and you know he is going to miss me a lot if I leave"- I replied
"So what are we going to do at this moment, because I am already stressed out. And you will be the one to drive us back to my house"- Micheal Replied
"I don't know how to drive very well. But after taking the coffee, I think you will have enough power to drive"- I replied
My dad finally came with three glass of hot coffee and he placed it on the table before us. Michael felt a little bit relaxed when he saw the coffee.
"Here it is boys. Let's relax our mind with this for now, my wife will soon be back and maybe she would serve us dinner"- My dad said
"We might not stay up to that time, I really need to get my luggages so that we can start going home before night falls"- I replied while walking straight to the room to get my stuffs
I walked straight to my room and packed some items. I added some of the new ones clothes that we bought from the mall.
I packed them into my luggage and suddenly I stumbled upon an old picture I took with my girlfriend some years back. Tears rolled down my eyes when I saw the picture, she was indeed very beautiful and perfect in body shape and character
I remember those days when we will visit different restaurants, cinemas and others. We were living the best moments of our lives but like the old men will say, "Nothing last forever". I remember the day when she told me that she wants to end the relationship.
My heart was shattered into pieces when she mentioned the word break up. She said another guy has stolen her heart and it was quite obvious that she didn't love me the way I loved her
I was so devasted and I couldn't even eat for days when she broke up with me, why would she do a thing like that. She made grow with the impression that she actually loved me to the fullest. But little did I know that she was only pretending all those while we were having fun
No wonder she doesn't grant me access to her phone and she was so secretive about her calls. Now I understand and ever since she broke up with me, I couldn't find time to approach any other lady. I was too devastated and heart broken and the thoughts about her always enters my mind whenever I see her pictures.
I threw away the picture on the floor and sat on my bed crying for about three minutes before I regained myself. Heartbreaks can be really painful and I never knew it would affect me this badly until now. Take a look at Micheal, he is so comfortable, rich and above all, he has a girlfriend by his side.
I just wish I could be like him, I am tired of living averagely
"What's going on son. Your Friend is waiting for you, Aren't you going to his place anymore?"- My dad asked from behind and he clearly took my unaware
He noticed that I was crying and he was somehow surprised by what he saw
"Why are you crying. Please talk to me, I am your father"- He Replied with a smile
"Nothing much dad, it's just that whenever I remember how my girlfriend broke my heart. I always cry and regret ever action I took back then"- I replied
"You don't need to bother yourself about this issue, over and over again. We have talked about it a thousand and one times.
Initially I told you I didn't trust her love for you because she was portraying some character that made me think settle down to analyze her well because I knew that something was definitely wrong somewhere"- My dad Replied
He actually warned against this same heartbreak issue and I remembered how he tried to point out some facts that she was actually pretending. But I was too blinded by love to even listen to him
"Am so sad right now. Can't believe she could do this to me after everything we have been through. Seems she played with my feelings and I doubt if I would ever want to hang out with any girl again"- I replied while standing up from the bed to conclude the arrangement of all my luggages
"Don't talk like that son, there are millions of girls out there who are far more better than her. She made it clear that someone else stole her heart, so why don't you also steal the heart of a lady too.
Or can't you accomplish that particular goal"- My dad asked with a smile
"Yes of course. But this time, I would personally take my time to analyze her jumping into conclusions"- I replied
"That's the spirit. So you better hurry up, I can vividly see that your friend is really stressed out and it is boldly written all over his face.
But I think that coffee would give him a little energy, coupled with the fact that he is also going to drive"- My dad Replied why trying to help me out with a luggage
We both went down and we found Micheal relaxing on the chair like someone who just came a race marathon.
"Thought you would stay there forever"- Micheal teased
He came towards me and took some of the luggages and my dad equally carried some from me. I placed some of the luggages in the back seat whole I placed others in the trunk of the car
"I am going to miss you a lot son, but it's for the best. I can't stop what would bring happiness to you and make you happy. Have a great day ahead"- My said while walking straight to the living room
He didn't even wait for a reply from me
"Thanks dad, I promise to always keep in touch and I would also keep you posted about my daily activities."- I called out to him from the car
He smiled at me on hearing those Lovely words of mine. And he could only wave before Micheal zoomed off like a flash
"Your dad is one of a kind bro. He has a really nice hospitality towards his guest and it always makes me wondering why you don't have such hospitality like your dad?
My dad was indeed very kind and gentle, so the extent that he remained calm when n the the face of trouble and I usually admire that about him
"Yeah he is quite unique and I love the way he attends to his visitors most time, he gives them that feeling of being safe If you know what I mean"- I replied
"Yeah, I understand what you are trying to say. I was quite relaxed when I drank the coffee. It was as if he mixed it with a relaxing flavor"- Micheal Replied with a smile
We got to his house after spending about 50 minutes on the road. He drove inside and brought out only one luggage from the car trunk. Because that's the only luggage that I need for now
The others are for the journey
"My baby. How are you doing"-Alexia screamed as she rushed down to give her boyfriend a warm hug
"Am doing great. Hope you prepared something for me, because I am very hungry right now and I can devour a full chicken at this point"- Micheal said
We all burst into laughter by those last words he said and I was glad when I saw Andrew walking towards me
"What's up man, welcome home."- He said as he walked up to me and gave me a tight hug
"Am good. Hops your nose is getting better at this point. because it would be quite uncomfortable to travel or walk around with a swollen nose"- I replied
"Don't worry about that, it's fine. By tomorrow the pain would reduce and besides I also brought my medicine along, so there is nothing to fear"- He said as we all walked inside
Michael's living room was quite beautiful and I couldn't help but admire the designs and lovely decorations. Wow, money is indeed very good
See how he is enjoying his life like no man's business. It does pays to be hardworking
Andrew's Mother POV
I looked everywhere for Andrew but I couldn't find him. We got back home after the chruch service was over and I nearly ran mad.
Where is my son, how can he just leave the Chruch without even informing me about his whereabouts
"I think we should call his cell phone, maybe he pick up this time"- My husband said while reaching out for his phone
He dialed his number and the response we got was that the phone was switched off. I don't even know what to do at this moment
Maybe I should just go to bed and rest, maybe he will come back home later in night or tomorrow. I guess that this is just one of his tricks to hang out with some girls or some of his crazy friends
"Do you think we should raise an alarm over his sudden disappearance from the Chruch?. I am a bit worried at this point and I don't know what to do anymore". My husband said while seating on the sofa with his head buried in his hands
"Why are you shaking, I thought you have a lion heart?. Don't worry, he is going to be fine. Let's just wait till tomorrow before we can decide anything yet"- I Replied
My husband remained quiet for a while, he was obviously reasoning a lot of things but I couldn't tell which one exactly.
"I would give him the punishment of his life once he gets home tomorrow. He has to understand that he can't just leave my presence without permission.
Who the hell gave him that power, or did he tell you about his whereabouts. You better tell me young woman"- He called out to me with an angry tone
I was quite intrigued by his last words, Was he trying to pass the aggression to me. He better not try anything like that because I would make life unbearable for him
