CHAPTER 155:SAFE JOURNEY

When Paul talked behind her, she stopped climbing the stairs and waited for him to finish. She wanted to turn and look at Paul, something that Paul was waiting for. But restrained because she didn't want to continue with their conversation. If they did Ivana will be forced to ask him why he had divorced her without putting up a fight.Something she didn't want to be seen as desparet, that's the reason why she left the sitting room. 

"I came here to tell you that in one or two weeks time I will be leaving for Nigeria" he said with difficult. Although he was expecting Ivana to ask him more about the journey. With that he was ready to persuade her to accompany him to Nigeria,but his mouth was left open when she said.

"All the best and safe journey" Ivana said then continued climbing the stairs to her bedroom without even sparing him a glaze.

Paul was left standing with his mouth agape, he ruffled his hair and wanted to kick the couch but remembered it's not his house. He didn't know why it was being hard for Ivan to forgive him. He already explained the reason behind his cheating. That night he was drunk and confused, so he saw Slyvia as Ivana, he just didn't know how it happened.

"How long will it take for you to forgive me wifey. Can't you see how desparetly I want you back in my life. You didn't even ask me why I am going to Nigeria?" Paul murmured to himself.

He sat down on the couch again, leaned back and closed his eyes. Like someone who is in his house waiting for supper to be brought to table.

'If you came here thinking that I will start questioning  you about the divorce, then you are wrong Paul I am not desparet as you might think. I won't talk about it. Thank God you are going to Nigeria hope you find your love there if you don't want slyvia. Atleast you won't be hear during my pregnancy journey, something that was disturbing me.After I have you my baby,Will be single again,but not searching.' Ivana thought as she caressed her baby bump then walked to the bed then sat on the its edge.

She picked the drawing book and started to draw some designs of clothes that were in her head. Drawing was her hobby but most time, she draw when she is avoiding some kind of thoughts. She likes drawing random things from flowers, to beanie, shoes, wedding gowns and evening dresses. She doest focus only on one thing, so at that time she started to redesign her wedding dress that she had drawn two years ago.

The wedding dress she used to vision wearing as she walks down the isle.Now that she didn't have a church wedding or her cultural wedding. She started to redesign again, not knowing that some years to come she will use it.

Downstairs Paul was still seated in the sitting room when Milka come in with blended juice in the hug with two glasses. She looked around but she didn't spot Ivana so she opted to ask Paul whose eyes were still closed.

"Sir, Where is Ma'am Ivana?"Milka asked startling Paul who have dozed off.

"Huh?She left she is upstairs" he said as he rubbed his eyes.

"I had brought you these juice,...

"Don't bother actually I am leaving. Kindly take those gifts to her and tell her I have left." Paul said as he stood up ready to leave.

Milka was about to tell him to tell her himself but decided against it.She watched him as he walked outside the house majestically with broad chest and long strides. She climbed the stairs and went to Ivana's room with the juice.

She pushed the door open since it was not locked, she found Ivana seated on the edge of her bed drawing.

"Hey,I have brought you juice" Milka said as she sat beside her.

"Thank you but I am not in the mood to eat or drink anything right now" she said while still drawing.

"Hey Ivana you know you are pregnant you can't say like that. Remember you skipped lunch and now this? What do you want to eat, I will cook for you" Milka said with concern.

"Nothing really."

"What are you busy drawing? Woow, Ivana you mean you can design something as splendid as these?"Milka asked while admiring what Ivana had drawn.

"You think it's beautiful, I was just trying to pass time." Ivana said as she aced the drawing  pencil aside and turned to look at Milka. "Has he left?"

"Who? Oh yeah he have left. He told me to tell you that he has gone and left the gifts downstairs."

Ivana smirked and poured herself half glass of juice."You can have the gifts if you want or throw them away or give them to Mish." She said then sipped the juice.

"No,Ivana I do respect sir Paul, he had the reason why he bought those gifts specifically for you not another person. Unfortunately Mish can't have them because she already left, her maid called her. Infact I am going to bring the gifts here, you can throw them away yourself." Milka said while leaving her room for the gifts.

Ivana was surprised how Milka have become bold nowdays, but she knew that Milka was right. She smiled as she continued drinking the juice although her stomach was still full and she was not feeling hungry either.

Milka returned carrying the gifts she placed them on her bed and turn to leave.

"Wait, Milka kindly prepare yams and warm Milk. I will have that for supper." Ivana said to her.

"Right away ma'am Ivana. Don't forget that the gifts are there check them out."

Ivana just chuckled softly then looked at where the gifts on her king-sized bed then returned her eyes back to Milka. She smiled to her when Milka walked out of her room.
