"You don't know anything, Enoch and I are just friends nothing more, and if am sick, it's not because of him, so stop spreading lies about us." I shouted at Gina and left them.
I went to the washroom and cried my eyes out, after a while, I came back to the office and stay behind the canter without stepping out till my duty was over. The rest of the day wasn't so exciting, I stayed in my room crying till the next morning.
Things want on as it was for days, Enoch didn't call nor text me, neither did I. Days turned into weeks and then months, but still nothing. I was beginning to think I have moved on from him and I won't let my heart be broken again, but I didn't know how to get him out of my mind.
I sat under the tree beside the office and kept going through my phone when it started raining. I checked the caller ID and it was a private number, so I answered not knowing who it was.
"Hello good afternoon, please who is speaking?" I asked the person on the other side of the phone.
" It's me, Abigail don't you remember me?" I got frozen by the voice I heard, I was thinking of someone I don't like, and I ended up talking to my worse nightmare.
"Edward is that you? I asked politely.
" Yes it's me, how are you doing" He asked me in a calmly manner.
" Better than ever, why are you calling me, what can I do for you." I asked angrily.
" So you don't want me to call you or what, don't forget you are still my fiancee, and you've been calling me, so why can't I call you." I heard Edward saying through the phone.
" I was your fiancee but not anymore, I don't think you still think of me as one, so just keep being with that criminal girl of yours. " I said to him still angry.
" What do you mean by criminal? what are you talking about?" He asked and I noticed he had no idea what was going on, maybe his father hasn't informed him yet.
" That witch you call your girlfriend, mistress or whatever, killed someone because of me. She sent them to raped me, and when they were captured, she killed one later. Why don't you call and ask your father? He knows what am talking about." I said to him angrily.
"What! how can that be possible? She's been here with me all this while, so when did she do that?" Edward asked, not believing me.
" You don't believe me right, why don't you ask her where she was on the fifth of November, and you'll know am right, I even have evidence to prove what am saying." I said and ended the call, not waiting for him to get me more upset.
Just when I thought all was over, my phone started ringing again. I checked the screen and saw the caller ID was still a private number. I decided not to answer thinking it was Edward calling back.
The phone kept ringing as the person won't stop calling, but I choose to ignore it. I checked the screen of my phone and noticed some unknown number has sent me dozens of messages with insults upon insults.
" Leave my fiancee alone you bitch"
" I'll change your face if I ever meet you, make sure you keep hiding"
" Start looking for acid treatment, because am going to throw you one"
"You whore, answer my calls and listen to me, you're so shameless"
The message kept coming in and I had no idea from who it was coming. The only person I could think of was Amanda, the same girl that went with my fiance and also tried to kill me. But why will she send me such message? She was the one who took someone from me, not the other way around.
Just when I was about to put my phone in my pocket, it started ringing again. I checked and this time, it was the person I so miss but did not wish to talk to. Enoch was calling me, but why? I thought he had already forgotten me. I took in deep breath to calm my rising heart before answering the call.
"Hello, good afternoon." I said as calmly as I could be.
"Fine, how are you doing? And how is your health? Enoch asked from the other side of the phone.
" Am good, still leaving, I didn't die if you care to know." I had to be hard on him a little, after remembering how he left without saying anything to me, and never cared to check up on me.
" Don't worry, I know you didn't die, how will you speak to me then?" He answered sarcastically.
" Why are you calling? What do you want from me?" I asked impatiently. I needed him to tell me it was because he missed me, or something close. Infact I was the one missing him the most.
"I'll be there by evening, we have to talk, don't say no, because am coming no matter what, see you later." He said and ended the call on me, not allowing me to talk, knowing very well I might reject his request. But who said I was going to say no to him, I wanted to see him again, to hold him, to embrace him, and if he still wants, kiss him on the lips.
I went straight home after work, I was in a hurry to get home and prepare for his coming. I made sure to prepare about three different kinds of foods and snacks. I cleaned my room and made sure everything was well placed and in order.
When I noticed everything was intact, I took my bath and dressed up in a short and a sleeveless dress, which ended above my knee. It was nothing special or expensive, but it brought out my carves perfectly, making me look hot.
I waited for him in the living room for a while but he didn't show up, I kept telling myself he was coming and he'll get here soon. But when I checked the time and it was passed eight in the evening, I gave up waiting.
I was really disappointed, maybe it was because I missed him so much. I felt like destroying everything I did to wait for his arrival, but it was my house and I can't get it duty.
I closed my doors and off the lights in the house before going to bed, I felt like crying but I convinced myself he didn't deserve my tears, so am not crying because of him again. Just when I was about to drift off to sleep, I heard a knock on my door. I got out of bed in a hurry to open the door thinking it was Enoch who finally came.
"Good evening ma'am, please someone asked me to give this to you. Am sorry I got here late and disturbed your sleep." A man I don't know from anywhere said, standing at my door with a package in his hand, dressed in all black.
*Oh! so it's not him, and I run like a baboon to open the door for him, and it just turned out to be a messenger.* I got sad and started thinking.
"Ma'am please take this, I have to go now" The man said and handed the package box to me immediately I stretched a hard.
Even though I didn't know what's in or who it's from, I took it nonetheless, and the man left without another word. I closed my doors again and sat in the living room to see what was in the box.
I opened it and on top of it was a message card, so I took it and read it out loud. "Sorry I didn't answer your calls all this while, please forgive me, I'll be coming for you soon, you know you are mine right?"
I checked what was in it and it was a nice perfume, with the name "ETERNAL ROMANCE" writing on it. I got really mad and wanted to smash the bottle of perfume on the well, thinking it was from Edward. But when I took the bottle of perfume out, I saw another card under it.
I decided to read the other card before smashing the perfume, that way I can gather up my strength with the help of my anger. I don't know how the person knew what I was going to do, but I was stopped from what I was about to do.
"Don't smash it or put it in the dustbin, check the other gifts first." I read.
I couldn't see anything else in the box, as the card says, so I turned it upside down and there it was. A beautiful diary with lock and a pen, both in purple color. I was still not pleased and wanted to do what I intend in the beginning.
I took the diary and noticed there was a file under it, and when I opened it, I got to know who it was that sent me the gift. In the file was the recipe for my passport, forms am to keep and the passport itself. The smile that has been missing from my face for a month suddenly appeared.
I gathered everything and placed it back into the box and took the passport out, I wanted to see how I looked in the picture, but I got yet another surprise in it, the biggest one of all. In the passport at the part where am to see my picture, I saw a card instead, so I read it.
