Romina pov
Knowing full well that Becca was trying to provoke me so that we can get into fighting.
I had to ignore her and went back to my room.
She kept on barking and barking but I didn't respond to her rubbish, Carlo is my Main concern now.
If he leaves then am doomed!!!
"Christ!!"I called out, looking at from the window.
"Maybe he will come back!"I assured myself.
Bending down to the floor,I grabbed the floors he bought earlier.
The rose flower was my favorite.
I inhale it and smiled.
I walked into the kitchen to get coffee for myself.
I was expecting to see mother inlaw but no sign of her.
Instead who I saw was Becca, she was cutting vegetable.
I was expecting her to countinue her shouting but she kept quiet.
All my mind was on Carlos,we might be married base on contract but I love him so much and I don't know if he has the same feelings for me.
"Watch where you are going!"Becca said as I mistakenly bomb into her.
"Sorry!"I whispered softly and seat down beside the table with my coffee and bread.
Becca murmured as she walked pass me.
But am disappointed at Carlos for leaving me in this kind of situation.
He should have bear with me instead of running away.
I opened the freezer, took a cold juice,drank all the contents in it.
Feeling satisfied,I left the kitchen going to the parlour.
I need to watch my favorite film episode that will soon be display and I can't afford to miss it again.
But on getting to the parlour,I got the biggest shock of my life my mother inlaw and her daughter were seating down with their legs hang up, Becca was with the TV remote.
I look at them and went to seat over to another place but my favorite Episode has been replaced with something else.
"Romina, just watch this movie for 10 minutes and you will go into the kitchen to prepare dinner..am really hungry"Mrs joy said.
I was not suprised,it has happened over and over again.
Each time I want to watch movies,is either Mrs joy asked me to prepare dinner or massage her legs.
But what can a poor girl like me do!
I need the money am getting from Carlos for my siblings education and my mom treatment, once am done with this.. am leaving this God forsaken house.
I admire Carlos so much,he has really become part of me.
He is everything that a lady need from a man, handsome, caring, lovely and most of all he is a good artist.
Hearing his voice sparked my head up and I remembered the day I was sick he was the one taking care of me.
"Where is Carlos?"Mrs joy suddenly asked bringing me back to reality.
At first I hesitated for some minutes, trying to see if I heard correctly.
"Mrs joy is asking of Carlos?"I mumbled feeling really surprised.
I was still thinking when my phone rang and a message came in.
I look at the message and I discovered that it was from Carlos,my heart melted.
"Am not coming back today, good night!"I read the message.
Carlos is not coming back!
I wanted to cry but I had to control myself.
My silly mother inlaw and sister in-law are available.
"Am talking to you Romina!"Mrs joy barked.
"I don't know!"I replied causally.
No more strength to talk...
What if Carlos is with another lady!!
That thought kept on ringing on my head.
I can't stand Carlos having s*x with a lady.
My eyes has already become watery.
"Why will he do this kind of thing to me just because we had a little issue?'"I lamented bitterly wishing that I can see him now and apologize.
I went into the kitchen to prepare dinner then I can test my head for tomorrow lessons,am actually taking a part time lessons.
My head was upside down,my mind clouded with panic and anger. I was finding it difficult to concentrate with the food I was preparing,all I want is do now is to see Carlos and apologize to him for What happened,he can't publish me for no reason without hearing from me.
"What if Carlos is with another woman?"my subconsciousness asked mockingly, making me to bite my lips in anger.
"No Carlos is not like that,I know this marriage is based on contract but he has respect for me!"
"Romina!"Becca called harshly bringing me out from my thoughts.
Quickly I composed myself, shifting my gaze to her.
"The food is getting burnt and you don't know!"she screamed loudly and it came to my mind that I left the rice on fire.
Goodness!!
I had to turn off the gas immediately.
I swallowed hard nervously.
"Where is Carlos because I remember seeing him leaving the room in anger"Becca uttered again looking straight into my eyes,I had to avoid her gaze.
"I don't know"I reply, adding onions to the food.
"Or maybe he is with someone sexy and cable of giving him a child"she said smiling and what she said had a great effect on me.
What if she is saying the truth, Carlos is with another woman.
