Since both blocked each other, she sat and thought deeply about her life, maybe she's making a mistake, maybe not. At this stage it didn't matter, she was making a big decision and she was ready to see what life had to offer her now. So from a different number she said her last words.
"Though I love you, I think its time i go figure my life out on my own, thank you for everything you did for me, though I paid my price. I paid in full. I wish you nothing but the best my love, but I dont have room for more hurt and disrespect . You did alot. I took all I could take and I've had enough."
She was quite matured for her age yes, she spoke quite well, even though, if it came to it, she could be ruthless. We all have more than one sides to us, people get what they bring out of us. I needed someone to bring out the good, he brought out the ugly then played victim. All communications were now cut off. She still had her friends, her dog, her business, God and her self. She lost nothing, it was like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. The love won't die instantly but at least she realized she was worth alot more than she was willing to settle for. She was a diamond settling for a bronze position. She was a ride and die female, not just for her boyfriends but for friends and family. He was basic and was so used to being basic, he said he wanted to turn her into a boss so her friends would respect her, but let's be real, they already respected the good in her, the already respected who she was, before she turned herself into a boss. She's capable of doing that on her own. His priorities weren't as hers , he was too focused on the materialistic part of life, and not the parts she was begging him to focus on. She had changed so much for him and their relationship, to the point she was bored with life. Every day locked inside, watching movies and arguing.
Love is a sacred thing, its a special feeling. Sarah didn't just love any and everyone, if she showed you love or said she loved you, best believe, she values you. Would she go back to him if he cane around? Maybe, true love don't just die. It doesn't go away so easily. So maybe, but maybe next time she'd be more cautious. When asked she had this to say.
"For me to take him back, because I do love him, but he would have to go heal and find himself, he'd have to mature into a man that's worth being with. He'd have to prove to me that he deserves me, because whether I elevate by then or not, im still a woman that deserves better than he had to offer."
Sarah knew her worth, she just lost it a little bit, but now she's regaining her strength and now praying more than before and God never let her down before so why would he start now. She started motivating her self more, exercising, eating healthier, promoting her business and taking care of her. Things won't happen over night but she knew eventually it would start to happen. Until then, work and pray.
People may hear the word revenge and instantly think it has to be something bad, but for Sarah , the best revenge was always to be everything they thought she couldn't, do everything they thought she wouldn't. So she didn't lose this battle, it was only just beginning for her.
"This is my second chance, to make it right, to use everything I learned and build my self, I have alot to accomplish, alot of people to prove wrong. Especially this mad man."
She started to make her plans, she didn't have much but as she went by, God would provide . For someone who been through so much, she sure had alot of faith in this God of hers. She believed that, it is all part of his plan, in order for her to get where she needs to be . To be the woman she was meant to be. A woman with purpose, A strong black woman.
After a few months had passed, her business started to grow, more customers came , more sales made. She moved into her own new place, this was the start of her happiness. She was doing it on her own. No partner, no friends, just her. She was the face of her own business, she wasn't hiding. In the distance he was watching her every move. He missed her, he saw her now, doing so good, and knowing it would only get better. He tried to contact her but no luck, her number had changed. He had her old address, he showed up in her country pulled up to her old home , but she was long gone, all he could see what pictures. Pictures of success. There was no hate in her, though she was hurt, but why bother to hate. Waste of time and energy, besides didn't she waste enough already.
Not so long after she got approved for her visa, now she could travel to the United States. She took her first trip, where she met this man.
"Excuse me, " he said as they stood in line at the supermarket.
"Yes sir." she replied as she turned around.
"Is this yours?" he asked as he held a bracelet towards her.
"Yes, it must have come loose again. Thank. you." she replied with a smile.
"Are you from around here?" he asked.
"No, im only on vacation. " she replied.
"Well I do hope you are enjoying your stay thus far."
"I am, it is beautiful here. "
He smiled at her. She paid for her groceries and walked outside. God i to her taxi and left.
