The undeniable save
I had just bought him the best surprise of his life and of the reasons as to why Maliva had fallen In love with me was that I believed in him during that moment when nobody in their family did,
We were world's apart since he came from a rich family and I was from the ghetto, having been told how useless he was I made him realize his potential until he became the most important Costume,this was their family name whose title was never to be messed with.
Life at Neverland where I grew up was so horrible but still he chose to come. Within just a week after he had begged my hand in marriage,I lost two of my brothers in a row,Paye and Jerald were so important to me and am so sad it had to end this way.
As if all is not enough,I never got to bury Jerald ‘properly’ since my mama was always on my neck.
Now my only confidant was Maliva Constumes,he was the only one among the Constumes who interacted with most of us among at the ghetto like it was nothing,his zealous efforts and philanthropic deeds to Neverland had just made me fall for him, nobody would notice that he was even a billionaire,from the way he interacted with the poor,like us.
This was before he changed !!
Today my mother's wish was granted,all that mattered was that he was part of the family and my happiness was no longer at stake.
Just before exchanging vows,he watched me and mama walking down the aisle and gave a broad smile. I smiled too but this time it definitely had to be a smile for pain.
I just wished that Papa would be around for me.
Memories fade and wounds heal and apparently everything happens for a reason,this same day that is our wedding day was so the same one when our wedding night supposed to happen, having preserved all my virginity to him, guess what happened next,
“I don't want you anymore Monica, I've waited so long for you to read this but you would not just notice, showed you all the signs but still too dumb to understand. I have to leave now and if you know what's best for you,stay out of my life you crazy woman. I never loved you.” He said.
Maliva would start to walk away as tears effortlessly rolled down my cheeks,from all the people I knew,he would be the last one who would ever call me ‘crazy’ like the others.
“Since when Maliva?” I could never believe that I had not to call him baby again,he was my sweet charming.
“Since when have you been pretending to love me? And what more do I need to know?”
“Ever since you came into my life.” He uttered without even wasting a moment.
“And by the way, Jerald isn't dead, he's the one I am going to marry. All we did was to stage a little play for you to leave me but you are always desperate to have me, please don't ever try to look for me you mad woman. I've never loved you and never will!!” He said and that's probably the last time when I am going to hear from Maliva.
It's now been minutes since he left and remember what I said about not being too strong to commit suicide? I honestly am right now and the strength I've gotten is irresistible. Within this warm seat of mine,I write my last letter to the universe before proceeding to that one place Neverland was most famous for, ‘The Dark Spot.’ This was the name given to a popular lake at Neverland, simply because it was attributed to the highest number of suicides which would never been easier especially when the lake was deep below that highest Cliff.
The moment I arrived at the Cliff I signed out of relief and for the first time ever,I felt like peace was found in here,I would then wanna proceed and jump into the water before hearing that golden voice,
“Why must you do this? Is it that your happiness is based on the people that surround you and not your own? Why be a victim of your surroundings and not your own circumstances!??”
I would recall the sound and this had always been my daily morning anthem from the Television,Dave Champelle was my inspiration and would listen to him the whole day and vowed to myself that that day I would set my eyes on him,it would be definitely over for you all, sometimes celebrities don't know of how bigger influence they have on their fans, especially me!
And now that he was here with me,I could never wait to ask, “what are you doing at The Dark Spot Dave?”
