Episode 6

**********************************
As I laid on bed reflecting on all that happened in the Restaurant between me and Richard,I couldn’t just stop myself from smiling.
Richard proposing to me was cool because I know pretty well that am naturing feelings for him but I think I shouldn’t just accept now,me accepting quickly to his proposal would make it look like I accepted because I found out he is the President’s son.
maybe I would had said yes to him or better still “let me think of it and give you a reply” if I hadn’t find out his true identity. A knock dropped on the door
Me: who is there,open up the door isn’t locked * the door opened and Richard surfaced,immediately I jumped up on my feet *
Richard: what’s wrong,why did you leave like that? * he asked innocently holding a branded bag,I didn’t answer,I just mopped * did I say something bad?
Me: what where you expecting? that I should jump on you because you are a first class citizen of these country and you proposed to me? no tell me !
Richard: no,its not like that * looks confused * ok fine,am sorry,here is the meal you left behind * he stretched it to me but I didn’t accept it so he dropped it on the table beside him there in my room* take care.
He turned back and left the room,I don’t know if to say sorry or let him go but I decided to left him go,though I felt bad the way I treated him but many things ran through my mind,things like ” is he for real or just a player,isn’t he a student,what is he up to,are mine doing the right thing etc ” I weakly sat on my bed trying to control my thoughts
Me: are my falling in love with him or its just an infatuation? oh God,am not sure of what I feel,just help me * I murmured to myself *
*******************************
Hours later I took the bag and opened it,I brought out the contents of the bag,a rose flower, stick to it its a designed card which reads ” never forget you had a friend like me because I would never forget I had an angel as you” my heart beat increased
Me: does these mean I good bye * scared *
I put it down on my bed and brought out the already packaged spices chicken then a bottle of creamed wine.
I get them out not knowing what else to do.
I finally decided I was going to apology to him once I see him the next day.

*********************************
The next morning I took my bath,got dressed and left to classes,I was I class when I realized that my monthly visitor was around,I was on easy,I was already feeling stained but thanks to God I was on black skirt,I just kept to my seat even after every lecture and with the rough plays of most of my course guys who were crushing on me. I noticed Jerry and James knew I wasn’t comfortable but didn’t ask open back wedding dresses
**************************
after their lectures I walked to the female toilet,brought out tissue paper from my bag,cleaned up myself and used some to serve as pad till I get home because I was really hoping to see Richard before going home.
on coming out of the toilet I saw Ella our assistant course rep
Ella: hi Precious * smiling *
Me: hi
Ella: are you ok?
Me: yes am ok,thanks * walked pass *
I looked around for Richard but didn’t see him,I don’t even know if he is a student or not,even if he is I don’t know his department.
for three days I did not see Richard,I tried calling but I couldn’t find the number he called me with
I kept expecting him to come to my lodge as usual but he never turned up.
the 5th day being Monday,after classes I saw Richard seated on his car,my heart skipped,I tried to being myself before walking up to him but before I got to him I saw Ella run to him and they embraced
Richard: look at my baby,I missed you
Ella: no no no I missed you more.
I was so shocked and dumb founded,Ella of all people with Richard. I just turned and walked home not only disappointed but with pains in my heart.
