His silent wife

Episode 12

After what happened earlier , I chose to go to college silently not wanting to meet anybody . I know I will regret it after I will come back home but atleast I will have  peace in my mind by sitting and thinking about all the mess .

"Lou .. good morning ! " I tell him with a   small whisper, He looked at me through the car  reviewmirror and nod his head after accessing me .

I am pretty sure he knows what's happening by now , I mean the news of my engagement is published in different tabloids .

lou started the car not ditching his responsibility   to take me to college , I wasn't interested in  talking  at the moment , Not Lou  or anyone . And if mom asks me anything when I get back I would just tell her that my phone was battery dead that's why she  couldn't reach me .

when I was back in my room preparing myself to go to school, I thought of how vulnerable I am . i thought about my brothers and how and why did they let this happen .

I understand that they can't disrespect mom but they could have talked to her , they could have told her or dad that I wasn't interested in marriage . I wanted to study and fell in love and choose a person who will love me for me  just like any normal girl .

"But you didn't tell them anything becuase you didn't know , "

I sniffled and wiped the tears that wanted to fall from my eyes .

"young miss .. " Lou called me and gave me a tissue paper , he wasn't helping at all . i didn't want to be rude at him and accepted it with a small thank you .

Minutes later , I was at the gates of the school, Take care dear and call me as soon as you need me .Lou says just after he opened my door open .

i nod my head and bid him a little goodbye and walked to my classes  earlier than the normal days , I was shocked to see that there alot other students who  are already there .

I tightened the hoodie that curved my face and pulled down the cap that hid my face well, I looked like a geek with the big shirt that I put on and the large trousers that didn't help but hide every inch of my skin to the rubber shoes .

Sighing out loud , I opened my phone and switched it off after making sure that the battery is low and no one has even tried to messege me and put it in my bag .

As I waited  ,sitting far back on the class a group of girls entered and started gossiping,

And  my ears were sharp and open ,

" Yes I know , that girl was Preety though and we have to make sure we become her friend , "

"Friend ?? Oh that ! She has to be our friend , I had no idea that girl was rich moreover she is engaged ? To one of the hottest men that I kept on fantasizing on . "

What are they talking about ? I asked myself still putting my ears on their conversation .

Oh it's 1 am ,  I am pretty sure she will be here any time soon, They squeled and I  took the opportunity of looking at them clearly .

I knew them the moment my eyes peered on their clothing, wearing revieling skimpy tight clothes that people usually wear them at the beach .

"The famous pretty girls "

I shaked my head as I couldn't even look at them ,

Yes they were pretty , but wearing beach attires at school ? They have to be ashamed ,

Stop judging them .. My subconscious says to me and that's when I went mum and looked somewhere else .

it's rude to stare Sofia , I scolded myself and look at the window that was near me blocking each and every voices as I looked at the heavy clouds .

I didn't even notice that it was going to rain soon, Minutes later i was brought out of my trance when I heard a screeching voice from the group of the girls ..

" Why the heck is she not here ??" She is just wasting our time !! A blonde girl said with a pout and annoyance ,

Hey remember she is rich , She can come here whenever she wants , Stop being dramatic Dela , The brunette girl who was beside her said. 

Ugghh whatever , she checked her time and cursed out loud ,

"Damn it !!"  we will come here later, Our classes are going to start soon . The blonde girl announced and walked out after clapping for her minions to follow her. 

Who were they waiting for ? Hmm , well i better keep my ears open . i am so ready to see that person they are gossiping about . Maybe they will talk and I will know what's going on too ,  My mind chirped .

"Stop being nosy Sofia!! " My subconscious says to me  .

Soon the teacher entered and we started our few moments later , " I concentrated on my class and passed two hours as I listen and took notes to what the teacher is writing "

Class dismissed , and your works should be submitted through my email after a week . He announces and walks out ,

I let out a deep sigh and took my belongings ready to go  when my wrist was held and I was dragged on the middle of the classroom  .

Hey .. I screeched and pushed him off , As he tightened his hold on my wrists i started to panic .

" Leave me alone !!"  i yelled out and pushed him off of me , I stumbled and droped on the ground .

My cap following , that's when my eyes met his.

Mouth  a gap , and with annoyance I asked him .

" What do you want Ronald ?"

I  i am sorry  Sofia , he whispers and helps me up .

Stand back , every one is looking.  i tell him with a little frown and wear my cap .

I am sorry, he says again . His eyes were red in fury , and he had deep dark circles underneath his eyes .

Concern laced over me for some unknown reason.

"Wh..what happened ?" i ask him looking at his eyes not minding my heart that was beating erratically on my chest .

i .. I .. " why didn't you tell me about yesterday ?" He starts and urge me to walk with him outside politely ,

I went silent becuase i didn't know what to say,

I am .. I don't know , I whispered back  holding my tears . Wait a minute, why am I even talking to him ?

Sofia I .. he started , but I didn't let him carry on .

You do not know me enough Ronald ,  Please leave me alone .

But-.. he insisted , but I cut him off raising my arm .

I .. I am sorry Ronald , I Just can't be friends with you anymore . My heart was bleeding inside for some reason that I couldn't understand .

He is my first friend , and I am pushing him off from my life , " Maybe that's why I wasn't destined to have one in the first place . "

He just wanted to talk to you Sofia , why did you ditch him like that ? My subconscious reasoned out .

" I .. I am sacred," I whispered to nobody by myself .

I looked at him one more time watching as he looked at me  sadly glued to the spot that he was standing on .

I feel so guilty ,

But you guys have met only twice.  There is no need to talk to him ,Apart of my conscious reasoned. 

Maybe this is the right thing to  do avoiding the consequences and the  wrath of my enraged mom .

Minutes after i have collected my bags , " I heard a  voice calling my name snapping me out of my thoughts ."
