MY HEART ACHES FOR YOU

CHAPTER 1 "As I lay on my bed,half asleep ,half awake, I thought my life through, it was in the evening around 8pm. I couldn't sleep anymore because I had used the entire day to sleep,I was just bored and rolled around on my bed. Just then I heard a knock on the door, I managed to stroll down from bed and went to the door and asked who is it ,the reply came," come on,open the door",the voice sounded familiar, I looked through the key hole and saw two figures,I knew them, they were my two friends (not close) more like rich friends who I didn't like their lifestyle at all. Though they knew I didn't like them ,they still hanged around. As I opened the door, Mira and Isha (their names) came in annoyed. "What took you so long Hamila, you kept us outside for quite a while", I slightly apologized though they should know its 8:10 and here they are at my house looking all dressed up as if they were going to a party/club. So I was decided to know why they were here,I asked them and they just stared as if I already knew the answer,I just didn't know why I felt I did but my thoughts was what I prayed the answer won't be but I still waited for them to answer. " Fine since you don't know we are going for a party and we want you to come Mira confessed " ,That was it, my thought was real ,I was so angry but managed to suppressed it and told them I didn't want to go, normally they would just go whenever I said "No" but that night they didn't give ears to my word ,they begged me for about 20mins ,they were still at it when I finally agreed but on one condition, I did dress like me and by that I meant old fashioned simple lifestyle dressing. I normally did dress like that not because I was poor but because of my health. I was 5yrs old when they(my parents - my mom)found out about my health, my father had left my mom and I at the age of 3 simply because of a reason I didn't know, my mom never talks about him and to be honest I miss him a lot even though I didn't know him,he wasn't there throughout the years I grew up though my mom tried hard to fill up the space it was never the same,I stilled missed him every day of my life and wondered why he left me. My mom and I used to be extremely poor but after my father left us,she didn't let this break her down,she had me beside her, she sang for a living and her voice was magnificent and she was beautiful, she did sing for me and this made me to love to sing more than anything in the world. My mom started off as a petty singer who sang on the Street and soon evolved into the world's most famous and rich singer after a man (a rich and powerful man)named Zach Chesterton heard her sing, he took us in ,had a deal with my mom and became her manager. I could still remember being 12yrs when we moved from San- francisco to New York where all dreams come true,at least that's what mom used to say. We were happy but I knew deep down mom was not happy and the cause of this was my health. Having a hole in the heart was something that really hurt my mom because no matter how much she tried and how rich she was ,she couldn't save me from the clutches of death, I had to several hospitals about my case but all proved futile, I needed a heart transplant because my heart was failing and my life slipping away,the doctor had said her heart was of no use to me at all since hers didn't match, he opted for a test with my father but I didn't even remember how he looked talk more of where he was, that's it all hope was lost for me. I could still feel the hot tears that flowed down my moms cheeks when the doctor told her I had just less than 8yrs to live ,my mom was heart broken ,her only child was going to die and she could do nothing about it, so she made me make a promise to take care of myself and to have fun and just like that I became friends with these girls since they were practically the manager's daughters ,they were 2yrs older than me but I was more sensible than them and they both were twins( fraternal) that loved to party and here they are again at my house begging to me party with them. We left about about 15mins later and soon arrived in less than 10mins, I was confused on where exactly I was ,a club or party?, I asked no one in particular though it was so obvious it was a club since it was very noisy. It was really noisy with the loud music playing, people dancing and merrily, living life as if they had all the time in the world. As I sat with my friends, I decided to get a drink so I headed to the counter to get a drink, "pls, some red wine,non-alcoholic " and I waited for my order when someone said "her drink is on me , I looked around to know if their was another girl at the counter but I was the only one,the rest was 3 guys who sat far from me and one sitting next to me,I looked up from the counter ,took my drink and made to pay when he said " I told you not to worry,I will pay ",I then said to him" Sorry I don't accept offers from strangers ". "Where are my manners, I'm Dave", I looked at him as he waited for a reply,seeing I won't talk,he said " And u are?", I said to him "I do not accept offers from strangers and certainly do not tell them my name and made to leave,he held me by my hand and as I stared at him, he just smiled and let go of me. " it was nice knowing you miss".I got to where my friends were and told them am leaving,Mira was the first to speak , "So soon,we just got here, wait don't tell me because that guy checked you out,you want to leave", I didn't say anything and before I could come up with what to say, Isha added" You have got to be kidding girl, do you know how many girls would like a simple hello from him and he spent totally 3mins with you, that guy doesn't even have time for girls and he talked to you and you just gave him cold shoulders, For goodness sake ,his father is a very powerful man compared to his son who is the CEO of a very huge industrial company and you just treated him like nothing, girls daydream of him you know, if I were you I did go back and apologize and......",she was cut short by Hamila who was already furious, " Sorry but I can't do that and for your information,I am not like other girls, I'm Hamila, the one and only and there would be no one like me except for me, I said and left dropping the drink for them and spilling some on Mira, I was angry. I arrived home and went directly to my room, after a cold shower,dressed in my night garment and laid on my bed as I thought tonight through, I was really harsh and I knew it, I had left them speechless, I mean all they wanted was for me to have fun and I messed up, it was all his fault, I prayed I won't see him ever again. Now I felt bad,I called Isha not expecting her to pick but she did, I apologized over the phone and promised to make it up to them,they forgave me so easily, I guess that's why I still had them around, no matter how much I pushed them away ,they still kept forgiving and forgetting. I dropped the phone and allowed sleep to overthrow me.
