Emily's POV
Ever since I found him and my best friend smashing,the best thing I thought of was to guarantee Dave his wish and this was to sign the divorce papers and in as much as I was hurt. I also had to prepare for what was coming next.
How amazing it is that when one door closes, a gate is opened somewhere. Receiving the Presidential appointment was the greatest thing ever that had happened to me and since they were the only people I would trust, relocating back to Muskat, where I grew up,was the only place I had known.
Mummy and dad were happy for my unlimited success and speaking about success,this would never happen over a night.
I had just recalled about a thing Dave mentioned to me,
“Is it true that I was r***d at five mummy?” I asked as if I was still that little girl.
“Come my love,let me narrate this to you.” She opened up to me.
“Years back,me and your father Jambo were never lucky until that moment when you came into our lives.”
Mummy then explain it to me that they were so lucky when they received me at the orphanage,
“Mr Zamba,was the person who took advantage of you and he wanted to do more despite us rescuing you my love. We don't care about the fact that you are not our biological child since this means nothing to us.”
“Our love for you dear is always endless, you are a daughter to me and I will always be your father.” They would make some similar statement as the best I would do was to give them some warm hugs.
It was at this point in life when I realized that aging was not just about counting the ages but growing to learn more about life.
Mummy Tabs and daddy Jambo took me when I was nothing and grew knowing that they were my real parents,and took me to school where I was always hungry for education.
It was just a few months ago when I graduated from the school of medicine and not only was I the top student, but also the most inspirational one,now that a larger task was ahead of me,all the gratitude had to be given to them. I would always love them.
The next day marked a special one too since I was the same when the appointment was to be scheduled and would never wait to dine with the president himself. So I took a moment with my maker but before I would leave the house, she'd come back into my life,and Danita looked like she had something to say,
“Look Emily, we've been friends for a very long time,let not our relationship fade because of my love for Dave!” Danita warned me, after that she would walk out as if nothing happened. Probably was going back to Dave who had just moved out of my house, leaving me all by myself.
During moments like this,I only wished that there would be that one person who I would confide to, especially when I now looked through my phone and got numerous missed calls, probably from the state's department for I was never getting better despite playing a strong outside figure,I needed a shoulder to lean on and did not have one so I had no depend on mine.
This made me lose hope and wonder whether I was ready for the ministry job, maybe it needed someone better and this was the fact that I had come to establish before seeing that notification.
It was a message from Victor and how this man usually came through hard times had always baffled me,
“You don't have to go through this all by yourself Emy,I'll be there in a few.” This was the assurance that I got and after some few hours later, I heard a knock at my door.
So I had to rush to open it only to realize that Dave was the one,
“What brings you back Dave, haven't I given you what you wanted.” I told him that I was never against their relationship and since he had found a world out of my best friend,he would then go ahead and make a good family.
“I'm so sorry Emily, but there's more that I need.” I would carelessly watch him taking the next step beginning me for a financial support,that he needed to start a business
so that it would cater for his family.
“You're so stupid for playing me a fool Dave, one day you will rot in hell for spending all my money on Victor for you all to fool me.” My eyes were now opened.
Dave was embarrassed and at this moment,he had to take his way back to wherever he had come from.
I would watch him leaving my compound and for a moment,I would sigh out of relief.
How painful this seemed but what more good would it have been seeing that person responsible for your misery take a path out of your life.
Hours later,I would watch back another being walking in,and I was always prepared for the worst.
And by how innocently Victor looked when he arrived at my place,he'd better be prepared for what was restored for him.
