SCARS OR NOT I LOVE HER

Come Back Home

Since she was now alone in the room, Diana started writing about her day's ordeal starting from the nightmare. “Ring.. ring..” , the alarm tone came on waking Diana up. Registering her surrounding for a while, she remembered dozing off in the library. Quickly she went to her daughter's room. She found her awake so she fed her before putting her back to sleep.

So she would not wake up Nanny and Tia she carefully made her way to her room. Grabbed a towel and made her way to the bathroom where she had a long bath, stepping out she could hear clattering of kitchen utensils. She smiled knowing it's Nanny, after having an hard time in choosing from her wardrobe, Diana decided to wear a blue sleeved blouse on a black strip jeans. She made a mental note to change her wardrobe anytime soon as her old clothes won't fit anymore;

Checking her bag to be sure she didn't forget anything for the day, she heard a knock on her door and it immediately opened. “Morning Angel”, Nanny said after opening with the smile on her face you would know she's happy to see Diana up and dressed. She looked gorgeous even though she dressed simple. Who would have thought she would not be treated like a gem?

“Morning Nanny, hope you slept well?" Diana replied knowing Nanny always checks on her and Little Michelle every two hours to make sure they are okay. “Yea I did, you woke up earlier than usual, is anything the matter?” Nanny asked sounding worried. Feeling Nanny's gaze pierce through her skin while she packed her stuffs. Moving closer to Nanny, she embraced her and said, ”I’m fine mama, I planned on preparing breakfast for everyone but I ended up spending more time in the bathroom and you beat me to it. Seeing Diana smile and hug her, Nanny could not help but patted her back. You do not need to worry about food when am still around, she said, seeing you happy always will be the best medicine for me. Come let's get going Michelle is waiting for us, and breakfast should be ready by now, Nanny said gently dragging Diana along. Sheepishly, Diana followed her to the kitchen. Oh my, we arrived just in time, it Nanny exclaimed, checking the sandwich and cereal she made for breakfast. Quickly she served Diana's breakfast while the latter carried the baby and started feeding her, Nanny also settled down to eat. There was silence for awhile until Tia came down, seeing Diana up and happy. She could not help but agree she looks gorgeous in that simple wear.

“Morning, Maria and Diana", she said walking towards them. The duo replied her greetings, "your breakfast is in the microwave, Tia", Nanny said before getting back to her meal. "Thanks Maria", Tia said as she does not like calling her Nanny. After the meal, Nanny took Michelle from Diana and walked her to the gate where they hugged each other and said goodbyes before Diana flagged down a cab.

“To the campus please”, she said to the driver, who immediately drove as fast as he could but could not help take his eyes of the mirror to get a better view of the beauty in his car.

When she alighted the cab, she found her way to the class. On her way, she could not help but pretend She did not notice the people around staring at her. Diana could not help but wonder why everyone was looking at her like she was an angel from heaven. She noticed how Nanny and Tia reacted after seeing her but felt it was because of her happy mood, could it be that......."hmm no, come off it Diana", She said to herself.

Quickly she settled down for today's lectures, with the long term absence she had, she did not bother to move an inch till classes were over and she found her way home.

While Diana is trying her best to be happy, somewhere abroad a man is seen walking to and fro in his room thinking about the phone call he just got. Sean, a man in his early thirties received a call earlier saying the one who carries his child is seeing another man and she seems to be happy. She might get engaged to him soon with the way their love story is. You can not let this happen, you know she's yours and yours alone, come get her before its too late, the caller said before ending the call

How can she find another man when she has just given birth? Who dared to even look at her and get close enough? Has she forgotten him so soon? Noooo.. , bang! The mirror in the wall got shattered. She can not be happy without me in her life, laughing.

I am hers and she's mine, I have to go home now. I have to take what's mine.

After the charade, he decided to go back home even though he knew it would ruin his plans but he could not gamble on her to wait for him so long.

Diana on her way back home decided to go to the mall and do some shopping, she needed to change her wardrobe and that of Nanny too, she thought since she still had more time to spare. This morning she had a hard time choosing what to wear all because she could not find the one which suits her body well. Little Michelle would not mind some new stuffs too. Truth be told, she really needs to get back to her been beautiful, loving and happy self and to achieve this she needs to start somewhere. "I would ask Nanny to give out the old ones as soon as I get home", she said.

She immediately walked down the Imperial mall to find her favourite brand shop. Unknown to her, a young man has been following her every move since morning and he's been reporting to someone at the other end. While shopping, Diana remembered she ought to call Nanny; she would be a little bit late today. After making the call, she made a mental note to shop for groceries on her way back home. Busy with her own thoughts while checking some toys for Michelle in the children's section, she bumped into a young man or so she thought.

“Oh my, I’m so sorry, Sir” she said pleading with her eyes scanning him thoroughly to check if he was hurt as she helped him up. Seeing her worried looked, he smiled back at her and said, ”I’m fine young lady, I’m at fault here, I was in a hurry to leave and did not see you in my way, hope you did not get hurt? Sorry I stood in the way". "I’m not hurt, thank you" Diana said again. "Okay Miss, thanks, bye", he said. Before she could even reply he was gone. Guess he was really in a hurry, she sighed while continuing with her shopping. Outside the shop, the young man smiled mischievously remembering the look on the lady's face when she tried helping him up after his act. He had to call his Client after he made his first contact with his subject.

After making the call, the client sounded happy which made him decide to stick around a little bit to watch his subject. Diana decided to call it a day and ended her shopping after getting the groceries. Walking home she decided it was time to put the past behind her and get hold of her future. Not only because of her but because of her daughter and younger ones who depend on her.

"Sh*t man, what do you mean by I can't get a ticket by weekend? really? it's not your fault; you think I give a damn about that? Make sure you get me a ticket by weekend, I need to leave soon", Sean said hanging up the phone on the caller.

The room is in chaos and he's seen sitting with a cold expression that could kill anything that dares stands in his way. On the table, a picture of a young lady smiling at him stood or so he thought, one glance at that picture a little smile escaped his lips. "I'm coming for you, Love", he said "You need to wait a little while, I'm going to make you love me more". After some moments, he started putting several calls through to his friends and other associates, he needed to put things in order before he could leave. After some minutes, a lady came in to submit some documents. "Book me a night flight ticket to New York by the weekend", Sean said without looking up which left the lady wondering why her boss would book a ticket out of the blue and to New York of all places. As his secretary, she knew as it was rumoured that he left New york due to the pain his lover caused him and he vowed never to go back there. But she had worked with the man for some years enough, to know that he was the one who caused her pain not the other way round like it was rumoured. Announcing his return to New York, she knew hell would let lose and she could not but pity the young lady to have incurred his wrath again.
