CHAPTER 9
I'M with my boyfriend right now; the whole class is on the field trip in the museum.
"You may take our left time to stroll somewhere I'll call each of you later if the service is on there." Our teacher said
All of us nodded, me and my boyfriend go to somewhere till we reach the unknown area, I'm afraid I don't know why, I just feel the unusual feeling.
"Fred, where did us going now?" I ask
But he doesn't bother answering me and he just continue to walk so I do too... till we reach the darker place, I'm terrified right now.
He stop and open the flashlight on his phone, it just a little light but I think that's enough, he approach at me and he do something unusual to me so I push him.
"What?!" he shouted at me
"What are you doing?" I ask with a terrified voice.
"Are you afraid? Don't be I'll be there." He said
He come and approach me and he kissed me on my neck I persist and I shout then suddenly one man is coming and he give a punch to Fred, I can't stop the guy.
"Hey, that's enough." I said
My boyfriend Fred is already in the floor, I hold the guy who's punching my rotten boyfriend
The guy look at me and that makes me stunned, his beautiful brown eyes, his pointed nose, and his red seductive lips, his perfect jaw...
He looks away.
"You really got a nerve to do that with a woman huh?" he said angrily
"It's none of your business fucker! She is my girlfriend!" Fred shouts
"Then why did she shout! No! You rotten guy doesn't deserve this lady." The guy said
He pulled me to be out of the place but my boyfriend hold my hand so I stop in walking.
I look at him, I see the regrets on his eyes but that is not enough reason for me to forgive him, he betray me just to pursue his own will... the lust that stores in him.
I pull out his hand into my hand and I start walking with the guy who helped me earlier.
"Aleeza!" Fred shouts
I don't dare to look back, he started this thing because of what he done the love that I have for him lost just for a second, the trust that I give to him already burned the respect for him as a person only left at me right now.
I'm already out of the place and the guy who helped me earlier handed me a handkerchief.
I can't accept those and he just wipes it in my face and I just realize that I cry... for what happened earlier.
"You are fine now, miss." He said in a low tone of voice
I look to myself and I see how messes my shirt right now that Fred is trying to tear them off, I'm ashamed so I look down on the floor.
I just feel that one jacket is covering me right now, so I look at the guy. He just smiled
"That's yours now... and next time take care yourself okay?" he said while he fixed my hair.
I can't speak nor can't I even move my hands to stop what he was doing to me.
"I think your classmates waiting to you; by the way I'm Xriss." He said
I smiled for a little bit for knowing his name.
"Thank you... I think so, by the way I'm Zinn, I have to go." I said with a nodded and I go to the place where my classmates waiting.
I see my boyfriend Fred who's reaching me and I just walk away, my classmates notice that me and Fred that not fine so my classmate Arlene approach me.
"Aleeza is you Fred are fine?" she ask
Are we fine? I don't know that we are fine after what he done to me.
"I'm just tired Arlene no worries." I said with a smile
A perfect timing the service is there, so I quickly get in and sit in the front, and it's good that my classmate Arlene sits with me so that Fred never near to me right now.
IN that night Fred visited in our house, I don't want to face him right now but my sisters said that I must so I go out in my room and I see him at the balcony, waiting for me.
"What brings you here?" I said with a low tone.
"Aleeza please forgive me in what I done, I know that it's my mistake ... I'm begging please forgive." He said in a pleading tone.
Facing him right now ... I don't feel anything but disgusted... I can't even feel love ... no more.
" do you think what you done is just a simple one, I'll be happy if you just cheated me though it's painful in my ego, but no Fred you harass me you almost get my sanity, my chastity, I can't... I can't forgive you." I said
"What must I do for you to forgive me?" He said
Everything what he done to me, I don't know how to forgive him, though it can be many ways and many reasons but I can't.
"there is nothing you can do but just set me free... after what you done, the love that I give to you just burn like a paper for a seconds, the trust that I give to you become an ashes after the paper burns for a seconds, like that our relationship become an ashes and flew by the wind and never be back." I said
"Aleeza don't speak with a due, I will do anything please I can't bear if I am without you-"
" you did what I done, all I wish is my freedom, I want to free in this relationship as this will become a toxic one soon, what you done now make our relationship wasted" I said
I look away I can't look at him because of what I feel.
I feel betrayed
I feel terrified
I feel disrespect.
"aleeza-"
"Let's break up." I said directly
Because of that day my fear of a dark space arouses and that makes me terrified every time I'm in the dark.
ALYX stunned after I tell what happen, why I get a trauma in the dark.
" that's make sense after all, you know it ... and that makes an employee to be incompetent so you can fire me." I said
" nahh... of course not, that's fine." He said
We go out in the office in twelve am.
" I think I must commute sir, you can take your rest you have a training tomorrow." I said
" I'll be fine besides I have an apartment near at your place so don't worry." He said
We go to the parking area to get his car, we are going to somewhere that I don't know so I decide to ask.
" where are going now sir." I said
" nahh... let's have a late dinner I know that you must hungry now as you pass your lunch." He said
And he's right I'm freaking hungry right now.
We go till we reach the place where we can buy some foods, it's on the street I miss it.
" do you eat streets food sir?" I ask out of my curiosity
" nahh.. of course me and my sister used to eat street foods." He said
We walk till we reach a stall I think that he really use to go this place as the vendor know him very well.
" sir! Good evening, what do you want sir." The vendor said
The vendor look at me then he smiled so I smiled to him.
" I like this one sir, that the one that you bring here last time." The vendor said so I look down to the floor.
" nahh... she is my friend by the way." Alyx said so I look at him
He just smile at me so I just nodded and look away. We go inside and wait for a while then the waiter comes.
" what is your order sir?" the waiter said.
" two servings of rice, twenty pieces of pork grilled and chicken intestine grilled and the two soda." Alyx said while the waiter is taking note
The waiter walk away and it just me and alyx left, there many people to who's still there eating.
" can you still wait right?" he said
I nod as a response to what he said
" you always going here right?" I ask him
" yeah, when I was in high school me and my sister friends always going here to have a hang out." He said
" you mean ms. Aminah friends, ms. Krystal and ms. Caliegh right?" I said
" yeah, they are eleven that my sister friends, you know Kimberly the famous artist in china?" he ask
I nodded
"She is my sister friend too, Glyndale the most famous model in New York and Jilliane the most famous designer in France... she is my sister friends to and they usually hang out in this place." Alyx said
After a long minute of waiting the food that we order is now there we start to eat but in the middle of our meal someone is calling to alyx and as I look where the voice from I see ms. Krystal and ms. Aminah with her friends, they are coming to our place so I feel ashamed.
" aleeza we meet here." Attorney Krystal said
" hi, attorney." I said
" you are here alyx,are you going home? You make my secretary tired, you must give her additional pay." Ms. Aminah said
And her friends chucked then nodded as they approve what ms. Aminah said
" nahh... aleeza if you want to resign you can come to my company or in Irin's company just choose." Ms Caliegh said
" tch! You always bullying me Caliegh, you don't know the story either... nahh... I won't tell you either, just go to where you guys going okay?" alyx said
" nahh... fine let's go." Ms. Aminah said.
The quite ambiance between me and alyx is growing again, not in the time that I got a hiccup. He quickly give me a water and I quickly drink it.
I breathe in and out for two times and I manage myself.
" I'm sorry sir." I said
" are you okay?" he said and I just nodded.
My blouse is now dirty and also my skirt I let out the long breathe because of frustration.
" let's go home?" he said
I look at the food, they are too many for me to leave I don't want it to be wasted.
" let's finish this first sir, i don't want to waste it." I said
And he suddenly call the waiter that comes to our table earlier, and he ask the waiter to pack the foods for us to take out.
" are you sure that –"
" we can eat that in your apartment , am I right? The night is getting cold, you might catch a cold." he said
I just nodded for a response, I clean up myself because I get dirty when I got a hiccup earlier.
" here get this handkerchief." He said while he handed me the handkerchief.
I can't accept those, I look at him... the words... the tone is familiar, the way he speak right now is like the man that I meet six years ago.
My soul back in my own as I feel that the soft handkerchief touch in my face.
" here wear my suit." He said as he handed his suit to me.
I don't want to accept those but he stand and put the suit into my shoulders.
" sir..."
" let's go." He said I just nodded
I bring the food that we take out, the whole ride is silent till we reach my place. The car stops in the front of my apartment gate, so I get out on the car.
" thank you sir, I will laundry this suit maybe I will turn back to you next day." I said
I walk straightly and I sense someone is following is so I fasten my walk till I reach the front door of my apartment, I quickly open it and enter , I'm going to close the door but suddenly someone block the door so I stop closing the door and as I look who is in the front of the I door, I'm shock.
