Chapter 19

Misheck got to his room really sad as he did not expect to be treated that way by Lilian. He thought that his reciprocating to her would ignite what she had in her for him. One thing he was not yet really sure of was if the act was to make him want her more or it was genuine.

He got his phone and started scrolling on the page of Lilian to just have a glimpse of her. It was at this point when he realised how well exposed lilian was. He pictures said it all that she was a kind of woman who really took extra care in as far as her looks were concerned.

"She is beautiful" he said to himself as he scrolled to the next picture.

--------------------------

Seeing that it was late in the evening and Misheck had not called her, Theresa felt worried and thought of checking on him. It was very rare for Misheck to go that late without calling her.

She picked her call and called his line. The call went on ringing till it ended. He called the second time but it still went on unanswered. She got a bit more worried as to why he was not picking the call.

"Maybe he is busy. He will call me back" she said trying to console herself.

.

It was around 21:00hours and she had not yet received a call from him which made her even more worried as this was getting very strange. She tried to call but just as before the phone went unanswered.

"What could be wrong? Could it be that he is now cheating on me or what? Because this is very strange." She thought to herself relentlessly.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Misheck was seeing the calls coming from his wife but he was just ignoring them on purpose. He had no idea of what to tell his wife about why his mood was going to be noticed to be low. As he was still feeling the pain from Lilian, his mood was still very bad.

After at about 22:00hours when his mood had stabilized a bit, he decided to drop a text to his wife telling her not to worry as he was fine. He ended his text by saying he dropped a text so as to not disturb her sleep.

The moment the text for delivered a call from Theresa came ringing on his phone.

"Hey Babe"

"Are you okay Misheck?" She asked

"Am fine. Am really sorry for not picking your calls. I had misplace my phone and it was on silence" he said.

"But couldn't you ask for a friend you let me know other than worrying me like this?"

"Am sorry. All my mind was on the phone so I didn't even think of that. Am sorry."

"Eeh you got me worried like hell"

The couple went on chatting till Theresa got satisfied that he was alright and that he had just misplaced his phone which was a well seasoned lie.

---------------------------------------------------------------

On the next day as expected, Lilian came to the workshop hall clad in another stunning and great looking outfit. It was all clear that she was among the few ladies rated 'stars' at that workshop due to their beauty.

Misheck acted like he was not also into Lilian the whole day as he didn't want to seem like an insecure man who can be led any way.

.

Later in the evening, just like the previous day, Misheck sent a message to her inviting her over to meet. She turned down the meeting saying she was a tired and wanted to rest. In order to ensure that they met, Misheck lied to her saying there was a message from the company coming from the branch manager. Though Lilian sensed that it could just be a way of wanting her to come over, she accepted to meet him.

Misheck was sitted at the same seat as yesterday and was busy scrolling on the pictures of Lilian when she got there. He quickly turned the screen of the phone off so that she could not see that he was snooping on her pictures.

"Hey Lilian".

"Hello sir".

"Come on, call me Misheck"

"I thought you said I shouldn't call you that?"

"At work, no but here am Misheck" he said with a smile.

"Okay Misheck, what message do I have from our manager?"

"Let me be truthful, I justed to see you."

"Can I go now?"

"Lilian, why do you hurt me this much?"

"I don't I just respect the boundaries of marriage as you had put it."

"Please, Let us break them. I am ready to break them for you. I am ready for us"

"Misheck you have such a beautiful family and they all look up to you so stop embarrassing yourself with this nonsense"

"Come on, should I kneel to show you how serious I am?"

"If you want to kneel down, I won't stop you but that won't change a thing on my decision. Listen, you had your time and found your marriage partner, so please, let me be so that I can also find mine. Stop calling me to meet you for nothing" she said standing up and making steps to leave.

Misheck was there in awe as it felt like he was dreaming being walked away like that. When lilian made about ten steps, she walked back to him.

"And stop checking out my pictures on f*******: or else I will broke you" she said then going back.

"She saw me?" He asked himself.

You can imagine how stupid Misheck felt at that moment. He even stood up and walked to his room.

He sat there trying to make sense of everything that had happened but to no avail.

AN HOUR LATER.

After failing to sleep due to the pain he felt for someone who was not even his girlfriend, he stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the people sitted besides the swimming pool chatting and some drinking some beers. He then roved his eyes towards the far end corner where there were on two people chatting and obviously sipping some soft drinks.

"Wait a minute!" He screamed after seeing the person sitted there.

He zoomed in his eyes and it was all clear that it was Lilian with a man chatting so close saying it all that they were into each other. He kept on watching till the man held her hand and gave it a peck at which Lilian smiled and her face brightened with happiness.

"This is foolishness!" He cursed with anger as he walked away from the window.

He wanted to go out and deal with them but he remembered that he was not in anyway attached to Lilian and that fighting would have caused a professional stain on his CV.

He sat there trying to get del breaths in and out to cool down his temper.

He then got out to catch some fresh air outside as he was really burning inside. Seeing that nothing was happening, he decided to go and get himself a bottle of beer so that he could sleep. He did this out of anger as he had never taken alcohol before.

As he walked by the lawn of green grass which was faintly lit, he saw two people, obviously a couple hugging each other and saying their good night's to each other. As he got near the it was then that he realised that it was Lilian and the man she was with by the swimming pool.

"Idiots! Big idiots! Fools!" Misheck shouted at no one specifically as he went on to the bar.
