CHAPTER FOUR
Hope
Hello, Becky, I have been trying to reach you on the phone but it isn't reachable, what happened to your phone?
Who is this, please?
What, you don't know me again? What an insolence!!
If you are not ready to talk, then bye!
I hung up, fuming more, recalling the harsh words Andrew used against me, "Indeed this life is useless, Today love, tomorrow sadness "
I will deal with you Andrew! Just give me time," the young shall grow"
My phone rang, it was the same number though saved but tears blinded my eyes, and I could not see clearly.
Hello, Becky, you have the guts to hang up on me, why?
Please may I know?
Are you drunk or mad, what is happening to you, Becky?
"I will hang up again if you are not ready to introduce yourself".
Oh, I see, you don't know Florence again, right?
Oh goodness, Florence, I'm sincerely sorry, I'm even in front of your gate!
In front of my Gate indeed.
You have the guts to unsave my number, like how could you?
Just hang up, you will see me now!!
Andrew, your thoughts want to put me into another mess but you will not succeed.
"Good morning, Florence"
Hold your salutation and tell me what you are doing here.
"I'm sincerely sorry for reacting the way I did on call, it was not intentional"
What do you mean? Like you don't know my number again or what?
Florence my best friend, you know I can't hurt you, I was enraged by the ruins that befall me.
What ruins are you talking about? Becky.
By the way, why are your eyes foaming in tears?
"Florence, the worst has happened, my confidence has been thwarted by fake love"
How? What happened?
Andrew happened!!!
What!!!!!
"Andrew shattered my heart with fake love"
I told you on time that Andrew is not a worthy human to be trusted, he is a w***e of no control, "I guess he has done the unstable "
How do you figure it out? Do you know what has been going on with my grandma and Andrew?
"No, gist me"
Andrew and my grandma have been licking each other's ash and playing live on the moon.
"Oh my goodness, I told you, Becky, not to trust him but you refuted it, now see the outcome "
I blame myself for these messes in my life now, had I known?
"Had I known is the outcome of miserable missteps"
Your tears can't correct the damage in your heart right now, you better wipe out those miserable tears and figure out how to fight this trauma.
What else am I going to do again? Florence, I can't imagine myself bypassing Andrew on the way without hugging him as my dear one, "I miss our lovely days but I hate him now"
This is your problem, you allow men to see and get hold of your weaknesses, if they see you weeping, it gives them joy because they know you are pained because of their absence but if they see you happy and agile whenever they bypass you, it hurts them.
This time is the right time to wake up and fight your weakness, don't allow him to detect it.
"It's not as easy as you think, Florence, it hurts me"
I know but don't allow it to bring you down, "he isn't worth your tears, so wipe your tears"
"I have a plan for you, I will introduce you to a man who is well-to-do and capable of taking care of you, I promise, he will take out the old memory of Andrew away and you will be ok again"
"I'm not ready to love again Florence, I'm tired of relationships, I need to be more than happy with my life and studies, if possible, works too"
If it's work, The man is capable of placing you on a salary, he has been disturbing my life about you but I didn't know what to tell you but thank God that, this just happened.
"Like I said Florence, my head is filled up, all I need now is to speak with my mom if possible and have enough rest, not another relationship"
Can you please calm down? Becky!
I'm talking about a multimillionaire here who will change your life forever and you are not serious about it, what is wrong with you?
"I'm fine Florence, I just need to rest my head first, my heart is in ruin, I can't imagine talking about relationships with a heavy mind l, I will respond to you later about it", can I go now?
Just like that, did I offend you?
"you did not offend me Florence, I'm just in ruin, I don't even know where to go as home because I can't stay with my grandma again, I'm tired"
"Come on, Becky here is also your home, make yourself comfortable "
Meaning?
"That you are free to live with me as long as you want" What are friends for?
"Thank you so much Florence, you have earned more love from me, I can't imagine sleeping around where that honk sleeps as a human being"
It is ok, she is still your grandma, no matter her shortcomings, we are all human.
So, when is school resuming?
I guess it's next week, our teacher told me yesterday!
Ok, "that millionaire said he is going to pay your school fees this time, and I know you must be delighted"
Are you serious?
"Yes"
I love the fact that he will pay for my tuition fees but I'm not certain about the love, I guess I should keep watching because I don't need another heartbreak.
Come on, stop talking like a kid, someone that has not seen yet he opted to sort out your need, do you think everybody can do it?
Watch yourself and utilize this opportunity, he is a nice man, and he is a friend to my man Melvin, they are business partners.
I will think about it but I'm not sure Florence!
