As soon as Mira unlocked the door and entered, she broke down in tears. No matter how hard she tried to stop the tears from flowing, she just couldn't. She had been disappointed twice in day. First she lost her third job and next she found out that her boyfriend was a cheater.. He wasn't just cheating on her , he cheated on her with her greatest enemy.
'How could he' she whispered and tears continued to flow from her eyes.
She knew she shouldn't have accepted to be his girlfriend back then. Kira warned her that he was a playboy but yet she didn't listen . That was because she had already grown a soft spot for him.
Ever since he asked her out and she turned him down like other guys, he began following her up and down trying to win her love.
One day he cornered her at the back of the class and with his face so close to hers, he said "one day, I'll make you mine" he promised.
Mira could remember vividly how wild her feelings, emotions and thought went with those words . She felt hot and her heart raced fast . she couldn't stop thinking about him.
During the lunch break , she just kept on smiling without even touching her lunch. she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even realize that she was smiling stupidly.
"Hello down to earth Mira" Kira her best friend said waving her hand to get her attention but Mira didn't even bulge.
"Mira , your mom's here" immediately Mira snapped out of the thought.
"Huh---where?" she asked immediately scanning her eyes around the entire cafeteria looking anxious.
Kira just stared at her without saying a word and ignored her question.
"what the hell were you thinking about" she furrowed her eyes as she examined Mira.
"Gosh you scared me " she replied placing a hand on her chest to calm down.
"Don't change the topic Mira "
"I wasn't planning to" she replied and shrugged.
Her friend sighed...
"what is wrong with you?. You have been acting strange ever since you came out of drama class" she asked as she took a full spoon of her salad..
Yep...she was a vegetarian .
"nothing is wrong with me Kira. Don't I look normal to you?" she threw a question at her.
"No you don't. You have been smiling ever since you saw the food and you haven't even eaten up to three spoons yet. It's as if your thinking about your crush" Kira said nonchalantly before Mira choked on the water she was drinking at the mention of the word 'crush'.
Mira let's out a nervous laugh before saying, "am perfectly okay. Just recalling some good old times" she added a smile.
Although Kira didn't buy her explanation yet, she just let go of the topic knowing that Mira would eventually tell her.
This also repeated itself when she was with her mother. Remembering what happened then , Mira smiled weakly.
It was on a Saturday morning. No school. She was doing her own share of the house chores when Jayden sent her a text.
"Missing u so much ,🌹💖
XOXO ...J"..
Mira felt butterflies in her tummy as she read it. She didn't even know what to reply but there was a huge smile on her face and she blushed as she re-read the message over and over again.
Unknown to her, her mother who was about to ask her about something saw her smiling and blushing while looking at her phone.
"Did your boyfriend text you" she said out of nowhere and Mira jerked from her thoughts and phone and look at her mother wide eye.
"Muuuum" she groaned "I never told you I had a boyfriend ok" she pouted and her mother laughed and then pinch her cheeks.
"you don't have to tell me. it's obvious with the beautiful smile of yours plastered on your face" she replied. Mira just look at her mother as though she was confused.
"Fine then. Can I see the text?!" she asked and Mira eyes opened even wider in horror of her mom wanting to look at her phone. She couldn't imagine what would have if she saw it therefore she immediately hid her phone behind her away from her mother view. Although her mom had no intention in intervening in her daughter's privacy, it was quite amusing seeing the look on her face which just confirmed her suspicious.
She laughed softly, "seems like my little girl is growing up" she smiled and turned away to finish the work forgetting what she wanted to tell Mira.
*******
Remembering all those times simply hurt Mira the more. She felt like a fool for acting like that those times for someone who may have been, at that time, fucking whores.
Again , a fresh new batch of tears flowed from her eyes. She couldn't even stop herself.
"I should have listen to Kira" she said to herself still crying.
Yes------ she should have . Kira warned her against Jayden ever since Mira eventually told her about him.
"He's a player Mira. He's not committed" she told her but Mira just wouldn't listen.
"I know but he has promised me to be committed this time --------:" she couldn't finish her statement when Kira interrupted.
"And you believe him?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yes I believe" Mira retorted immediately.
"Mira , can't you see that he's deceiving you".
"He is not deceiving. I believe with my entire heart and I trust him. Yes he's a player but he'll change. After all your a player also" Mira answered angrily before she could stop herself. However the words were already out.
Kira looked at her obviously hurt by her words and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Am so sorry Kira. I didn't mean -----" attempting to touch Kira and apologize but Kira stepped back to avoid her touch.
"Don't touch me" she said sternly.
Guilt suddenly over rode Mira. She wished she could take back those words.
"Kira, I -------" before she could complete her statement, Kira walked out.
*******
"My friendship nearly felled apart because of you Jayden and this is how you repay me" she cried harder than ever. No amount of tears could heal the huge hole in her heart.
So this is what heart break felt like. She felt as though she was stabbed over and over again in the heart.
She needed comfort
She needed someone to support and tell her everything is going to be okay.
She needed someone to cuddle her.
She needed to be love once more
Since her mom was still at work, she immediately dialed Kira number.
"Hello Mira , how was ------" Kira soon began talking after she answered the call.
"I need you" she whispered softly and then ended the call and went back in her tears ...
**************
She walked into the police station. Her heels kept on making the 'click' sound as she walked.
.All heads both the police and the criminals turned to look at ur woman who majestically walked in.
"Officer, my daughter has been missing since this morning" the woman replied in tears.
"Ma'am, am sorry but we cannot declare her missing until after 24hrs" the Man behind the desk replied casually without any emotions" the officer replied casually without any emotions.
"how can you say that?! what if she's hurt or in danger?! you police are just useless" she said angrily and walked away.
Soon the attractive woman reached at the officer desk. The man just stared at her and without a word she took a sit on the chair that the other woman just left from.
"officer " she said and look at him in the eyes " I want to file a complaint"
