Timtooni POV

Seeing the quote on the wall as it read

               Second Chances are for the 

               Bravest of hearts

               And not the faintest

                                             ~Dr. S. W. Tiyumba

Motivated me that I may just have another chance. I sat waiting patiently in her office waiting for her to arrive. It's barely 7:30am, how desperate was I just to meet this girl?

Trust me the office space was extravagant yet it had this homey feel one could easily get accustomed to. 

My meeting with her that night, the awards night, was a failure because by the time the program was over I was told she'd left. 

Not wanting to give up, I asked the program organizers for a trace up, and they gave me her office card.

Yeah that's pretty much why I'm seated here this early, on a Monday morning and not preparing for work.

Almost feeling like ages, she finally walked in and we both stood still watching deep into our souls. 

She finally broke the silence 

"Mhmm?"

Walking to her desk, she took her coat off revealing the floral dress which suited her perfect brown melanin colour.

She took her seat, but said nothing and if I so wanted to be victorious I had to start acting up.

'"Congratulations on your award Dr. Tiyumba?, So amazing you're making a difference in your world"

'Likewise, Kumbungu must be proud of you', she replied without emotion still with her gaze fixated on the heap of files she had on her table.

"Shenelle we need to talk", I finally said clearing the cold ambiance that was settling in

Shenelle POV

"Shenelle we need to talk", was enough to raise my head of these heap of files of which I was staring blankly at, not seeing any word actually.

"Talk about what exactly," I replied hesitantly.

He fidgetted for a while and replied as tone is a whisper, " Everything".

Everything?

"Tee, no Mr. Timtooni, there actually nothing to talk about, things that existed in the past should stay that way, the past".

"Shenelle I'm sorry," he muttered out

"Please hear me out, please"

"There's nothing I'd like to listen to, please Tee I'm done putting a lot aside and I'd prefer them that way...Aside!" 

"Mr. Timtooni Andani, you barged in here without my permission...fine that's strike one 

And you're here violating my "no–personal–visitors–during– work –hours–policy".....strike two.

I have a meeting with the lawyer of my client in about Five minutes! And I'd appreciate it if I could use that five minutes to go over her files".

"Shenelle?"

"See you soon, Mr. Andani and the next time you're coming do make sure you make an appointment."

With that, I carried of my files and stormed out of the office, Leaving him seated alone.

I couldn't tell why I was this angry. 

I mean I could have been more diplomatic about it, why I have to act all childish.

Honestly I didn't want to linger around the past, I just wanted to move on, and that's what I've been genuinely up to these years.

And I wouldn't appreciate someone magically trooping in from the past to blow off all my hard earned efforts to move on.
