Greatest Mistake

 Tasha's point of view…..

   Throughout my flight, I was restless and I could not stop feeling guilty. I realized that I had let selfishness take hold of my sense of reasonings. I went down memory lanes and it dawned on me that I had been a betrayal. I knew Jenny was never going to accept me for her yet I couldn't think rationally.

  Imagine having a cold heart hearing she is missing. What kind of a friend am I? It's so painful that I had to do this to her.

  Yeah, it was true I had wanted to do something to stop her from going on vacation with Zain and even after I left Zain's residence I was determined to do all I can to make them pay.

   Loving someone who doesn't love you back could be the greatest mistake one could make. To love is one thing, to be loved is another and to be loved by those we love is everything so I am just going to let Jenny go, release her from my heart and find happiness elsewhere. Hopefully, we can go back to the way we used to be before.

   I sighed and rested my head on the head rest. I was seated in a cab heading home.

  Few minutes later, I was standing in front of our apartment with my suitcase beside me. There is this constant nagging feeling down my soul and it's frightened me. Yesterday I was ready to do whatever, notwithstanding what mom will do but right now,I am not sure I want to face her. She loves me, that's right but she might have been disappointed in me. I don't need any soothsayer to tell me that she has found out what I do and who I am but regardless, I am not ashamed, I am disappointed for not being human enough to tell her. I am proud of my sexuality and I am not sure that will change any time soon.

  With a deep breath, I proceeded inside to receive some scolding from mom.

  Zain's point of view….

     The feeling of having a big problem and you having no clue on how to solve the issue or if it could be solved, that's how I was feeling right now. I don't know if anyone can relate to that. Since I returned back home, I had done nothing but wished a million times that I could do something to save the situation, not waiting to hear from the police. It's so unfair to me.

   Thomas had left after his several attempts to tell me there is hope. I know there is hope but how hopeful can one be when you don't know how the one close to your heart is faring or if the person is still alive.

   I drained the last content on my glass and poured another whiskey. Drinking in an empty stomach or even drinking is not my ideal thing but I can't help the situation, the momentarily solace was a huge relief.

  A loud knock sounded on my door, bringing my back to present. I sighed and cleared my voice.

   "Come in"

I said, in the softest thing I have ever used in my life. I dropped the almost filled glass in the bed side stool and watched the door open slowly.

  I had not expected to see Emma, I had thought it's Ava.

  Emma stopped moving when she saw my miserable state. She had a look of concern on her face.

  "Hi Zain, you look terrible. Are you okay"

She asked as she took further steps towards me.

  "I am, sure!. Why did you ask?"

She did not look convinced,"I am not a child. I know when someone is not okay and I am not going to bug you to tell me what but whatever it is, drinking is never a solution. You need a clear heard to be able to think properly, not a fergie memory"

  She stated calmly then picked the bottle of whiskey, "I made breakfast for us, kindly come out to eat"

I nodded and she left with the whiskey and the filled glass. I chuckled lowly. It's funny how she looked so concerned about me. It's not like she knows me or anything and did she say breakfast?

  I stood up and headed to the door, not to go have breakfast like she had invited but to lock My door. I just want to be left alone.

   I did not succeed because the moment I reached the door,it banged open hitting my forehead in the process. I rubbed my forehead in pain as I glared at the intruder.

   "Oh my! Do you reck of alcohol? When did Zain start to drink.?"

She asked, pushing herself inside.

"Not now! Ava. I need to rest."

I pleaded not that it matters, Ava is very stubborn and mean like her mother. I know what to do but for the sake of family.

  "You owe me an explanation. I want to know why my worst enemy was in your house and suddenly, this morning she disappeared and you returned looking like the problem of the world is on your shoulders"
