Early morning by 6am, there I was dressing up for the airport. I seriously packed jackets because unlike DRC, Korea was cooler and it was a rainy season. After packing I heard the doorbell ring. I wondered who it could be but I remembered Nathen telling me he would arrive early and drive me to the airport.
I opened the door and couldn't believe my eyes. It was Dereck and only God knows what he wanted. I was in the process of getting over it so I did what Nathen said and kept my calm.
"Hey Karen, I heard you are leaving,"He said with a smirk. All I could think of was my hand increasing in size and muscles, followed by one strong slap equivalent to a million then watch him fly to Jupiter screaming -i'm Soooo sooorry-. But I just kept it chill. "Oh, and how did you find out," I asked without really being curious. "I heard from rumours," he said. "well now you listen to rumours, just like how you would believe anything said about me right?", I asked. He answered, "No, I mean, I overheard Miriam talk about it,". "Ahhhh, can I know why you are bitterly addressing me suddenly?"he asked. "You know what? Mind your own damn business," I said trying to not explode too much. Before I slammed the door to his face, he blocked it and asked,"Can I know where you are going atleast,". "Just know I'm going somewhere really far away, where I will fly by my own wings without any temptations," I said. "I don't known what I have done to you or if you are referring to me as the temptation but just know that you are misjudging me and misguiding yourself," he said, and added, "Safe trip, hope you enjoy," 😔with a disappointing look on his face as he slowly gave his back to me walking away.
like I said, I tried to keep my calm and telling him about how I felt and how hurt I was wouldn't change a thing, considering the fact that I never confessed anything stopped me from putting all the anger on him. Besides, I didn't want to spoil my day because it would definitely be long and full of surprises.
By 7:30 am, everything was ready and Nathen still hadn't arrived so my mom and dad drove me to the airport. Not much was said because we already said our goodbyes the night before.
I wondered on why Nathen hadn't come to fetch me and when I checked on my phone everyone on my contact list including Florence, Miriam and Nathen had blocked me. I got depressed until we got to the airport. I was still left without an hour before my flight could arrive so I asked, " Mom can you take me to Nathen's house real quick, he's blocked me it's unlike him,". " What about your flight?", she asked, and my dad replied, " we still have an hour you know," my dad said. " Exactly dad, Mo. please," I begged. "Ok, I will bow to your last wishes in this country," my mom said jokingly.
But when we arrived he wasn't home. "40 minutes left!", my mom shouted from the car. I decided to just leave for the airport.
