FOREIGN MATE

Chapter 2:Accepting reality

I have to come to terms that Tony has dumped my ass and move on.It hurts badly,damn it hurts very much but I hope life will be good in Italy and I will have a good start and forget about him.

"You didn't tell me you had applied to move to Italy,what kind of a friend are you",Tasha whined when she found out I was relocating.I didn't tell her earlier since I was going to reject the offer after Tony's persuasion.She now feels betrayed and I'm quite sure she's the only one who will feel my absence once I'm gone." I was to reject the offer sweetie that's why I didn't tell you about it.I'm sorry can you forgive me please" I ask sweetly and she gives me a hug and goes on about how she will miss me and all the calls she will be making to me.She has always had my back and I'm gonna miss her alot.

The following days I submit my papers to the relevant organisation and my departure is planned for the beginning of the next month which leaves me with two weeks to prepare myself and have sometime with Tasha.I consider reaching out to my aunt's family to tell them about my departure but I'm met with unanswered calls and texts left on read.I bet they thought I was reaching out for money.In truth,I just wanted to talk to them for the last time since they raised me but I guess they only see me as a nuisance and I have to contend with that.They did good taking me after my parents death and it's only fair they feel I drained them financially over the years.They paid my school fees till I was done with high school that was enough for me and I don't even hold it against them for wanting nothing to do with me.I might even send them some money if I earn well where I'm going.
