Chapter 9 - chapter 9: it's okay not to be okay.

Jacob Hebrew woke up with a splitting Headache. Getting out of the covers portraying his well built body without an extra fat on it. Went towards the bathroom opening the faucet letting down cool water to atleast cool down his brain cells that could explode any minute. Droplets slid down on his muscular body that could leave countless women gasping. Having spent good minutes,he grabbed his towel and dressed before eating the hungover soup and breakfast made by the housemaid. As the housemaid brought a brown cup, memories of the past flashed his mind like a private video loop. " Darling, it's better you use this cup because whenever am not around, atleast I will always be beside you like a ghost". A sweet voice sounded but it was just an illusion of Bonita who was like a wound that could never heal. The housemaid wondered what she did wrong when a tear slid down on Jacob's face . He sniffed putting down the breakfast as he lost the appetite the moment he thought about Bonita who could never return to this world. The housemaid hurried and called Joshua who was a sister to Bonita and also a best friend to Jacob. Jacob entered the garage picking hammer as today's ride. Before igniting the engine,he received a call from Joshua and both decided to meet at their usual place.He wondered how Joshua got to know his situation yet they had separated by their always busy schedules and having little time to interact with each other. Opposite shell,they met at cafe java's. Joshua had already arrived and was busy scrolling through the recent news on the social media. Just as he was browsing,he saw Jacob staring at him like a lost puppy. " You can have a seat". Joshua said acting like a gentleman. Seated,they ordered milk tea and beefed samosas. "These recent years might have made your heart become cold towards the opposite sex, hmm". Joshua said with a gloomy face. Jacob shifted his gaze towards Joshua who would have been his brother in-law if fate didn't interrupt everything. He showed a smile that didn't reach his eyes and continued sipping his milk to taste the sweetness maybe to take away the bitter feeling inside his chest. " Jacob I know you're still suffering though you show people that your okay,but it's okay not to be okay,I suggest it would be wise if you move on and create beautiful memories with someone who will make you forget Bonita". Joshua said with a friendly gaze. " But I can't, I feel like moving on will be like betraying her, I promised to love her till the end of the world but I couldn't keep my promise, if I was there that day, she would have told me how she felt,but she left without saying goodbye that's the most absurd thing ". Jacob said with sadness in his voice wiping his face to avoid crying Infront of his friend." It's not your fault,you knew her character very well,she never wanted to let her beloved to suffer maybe that's why she did what she did without consulting anyone,but I know she's always besides us no matter what,so please don't torture yourself anymore and live your life to the fullest. She will also bless you because she wants you to be happy ". Joshua said trying to convince Jacob. After a deep conversation, Joshua promised Jacob to introduce someone to him one time if he's willing to move on from the past. They went their separate ways, Joshua sighed heavily while in his car and suddenly thought of Annabelle. " I think if I try to match make them without being obvious it will be great if Jacob falls for Annabelle,haa but Annabelle is a tough but to crack,all the way from high school she mercilessly rejected everyone leaving several hearts shuttered even before giving it a try." Joshua thought in his mind even the smile he had seconds ago entirely vanished. Annabelle's situation was bizarre like a soldier going to battle without any armory. He decided to get the rescue of priccy who could atleast talk to Annabelle.

A knock from the door jolted Annabelle from her sleep. Opening the door with groggy eyes, Priccy entered the bedroom bypassing Annabelle who was yawning nonstop. She left for a bath before having a heart to talk conversation with her bestie. That's why there's a saying," a problem talked about is a problem solved". The warm water calmed down her tense muscles from the recent dance competition and all the world's trouble. Looking herself in the mirror,she paid attention to every detail on her body and a smile bloomed on her face because she had grown into a real woman with a body that can attempt any man especially the round buttocks,the hips and those long legs. " it's all thanks to my mom ". She thought in her mind. Grabbing the towel,she tied it on her tiny waist and left for the bedroom. Seated at the dressing mirror, Priccy came with a hand drier to blow dry her bestie's hair. " if I was a man, I would have fallen for you the moment my eyes graced you those grey eyes that could drown any living soul". Priccy said with an infuriated gaze. " Annabelle just burst into laughter. Breathing heavily, Annabelle wiped the tears that threatened to fall due to laughter. " By the way Annabelle, what had happened to you yesterday when Amir and I came back?". Priccy asked with sharp eyes trying to read Annabelle's mind. " I was just frustrated from all the life's experience sometimes I feel stuck like a port stationed all year round,all the sufferings we've gone through have left a shadow in my life,the gloating and mocking of people who wish to see me down,but I console myself knowing that crying and being worried would never bring any fruitation apart from hustling my ass off to be able to afford the kind of life I want to live". Annabelle said sounding sad in her voice. Priccy hugged her like a mother giving warmth to her only daughter. " it's fine to let the agony out, maybe if you cry the burden can lessen several pounds. When Annabelle heard her friend's advice, silent tears streamed down her face. After calming down, Priccy helped Annabelle in dressing before taking a walk in the nearby park.

As they were strolling, Priccy received a phone call from an international number. Pressing the ok button, the person on the other line was happy to talk to priccy. " Mom,is that you,we were worried sick about you, even dad almost had a heart attack from the loss of communication." Priccy said trembling,she was emotional because of her mom. " Don't worry anymore because am coming back next week so prepare a nice meal for me,for real am craving for it". Priccy's mom said laughing to assure priccy that she was okay. Hugging up the phone, priccy breathed a sigh and a genuine smile returned to her face. Annabelle also felt happy for her friend because all this had taken an emotional turmoil on them. " By the way, are you gonna introduce Amir to your mom?". Annabelle asked priccy. " If he's serious about us, introducing him to my parents would be as easy as eating a cake." Priccy said with a dreamy look. The weather suddenly changed with dark clouds roaming around the sky threatening to rain cats and dogs. Heavy droplets started falling creating tiny cracks in the ground. Annabelle and priccy ran off until they reached their place slightly drenched. Changing into clean clothes they decided to listen to some music.

At Sabrina's place.

Gazing at the relentless rainfall that was falling on Mutundwe hill,the ringing of her phone jolted her back to reality. Checking the caller ID,it was an unknown number but still decided to pick up. Saying hello,the other line was silent before the person replied seeming sad about the situation. " Sister in-law could you please forgive Stephanie for the sake of the children,he broke up with the mistress because all the children weren't his." Harriet, Stephanie's elder sobbed on the line. Sabrina has a blank look on her face,all this situation had nothing to do with her ever since Stephanie decided to go after a nother woman for the sake of pleasure. With this in her mind, Sabrina took her time to absorb the sudden outcome maybe karma was real after all he left meat and went after where they cooked silver fish. Being unresponsiveness made Harriet's body to totally be engulfed by worry because she wished these two to purch up things. " Harriet, Stephanie's situation has nothing to do with me,he shouldn't bother with us anymore because he never utilized the chance when it was still available so it's unnecessary to cry for spilt milk. When Harriet heard Sabrina's words she almost collapsed .
