Fall to Rise

Thirty One

"He led me on by kissing me and left me there hanging," I sobbed.

"What that scumbag!"

"I just don't know what to do now Lucha. This feelings are devastating."

"Oh dear." He kisses my forehead.

"Can you imagine after kissing me, he ghosted me then after days later, I see him with his girlfriend Layla kissing too. He just forgot that I was even existing."

I kept crying into Lue's chest.

"But you should talk to him about your feelings," Lue began.

"What! No way!" looking him into the eyes now and falling back to his chest. "I just wish things were so much easier you know."

"I know but am sure he'll come around. Maybe his just afraid of his father."

"Yeah yeah your right Lue. I think so," wiping the tears from my eyes.

I felt so much better.

Before, I didnt have answers but now after talking it out, things seemed pretty absurd but not as complicated as I had thought.

"But please make your feelings known to him. Write to him something."

"Oh my God. Oh yes I think I should write since I can't face him saying all these things," I said feeling so relieved.

"Oh yes. I think I have a paper and pen with me."

Lue is just the best.

I had missed this much attachment we had together but nevertheless, he really tried to look after me.

At least amisdt all things, Lue wouldn't ever let me down at any point in life.

"So what will I say?" I asked in loss of words.

"I'll leave you to that. Just say whatever you feel like but don't seem too thirsty again." he said walking ahead. "I'll be near by, when your done writing just call me."

"Okay," I replied.

"Hello Caleb," I began.

"How have you been, how is your Father, Frayer and everyone?

"I wrote to say I miss you alot and I miss our times together. From Amandi Gwandi."

Thats all I could come up with.

I didn't have the words in me to say yet when it came to helping Frayer with her letters always, I knew a bunch to say.

But now the words all seemed to fly away in thin air.

I kept thinking of what else to add up but nothing, then I called Lue to come read my letter and comment on anything.

"What, this is a disaster," he laughed. " I taught you better than this."

He grabbed another paper from his pocket.

"I think let me do the writing now," he said snickering.

"Okay then, thanx Lue. I owe you."

"You surely do," we both laughed because we both knew what this favor would be when it comes to Frayer.

Looking at him.

"You really look so good together," I said. "So don't ruin it."

"Oh Ama," he pinched my cheek.

"Lue!" I pushed him off and ran back to the direction we had come from.

Home.

And he ran after me. Such a lovely evening it had turned up to be.

Later that evening, the letter was being delivered to the man of mystery and I received one from Frayer likewise to Lue.

In her letter she had expressed how much she had missed me and was hoping to see me in a few days.

Then about Kaffo's health worsening. He was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and he wasn't improving one bit.

This frightened Caleb so much.

She also said he spent all his time in his father's chambers day or night.

And the good news, Frayer over heard him ask for space from Layla. He needed to give his father all his ahundred percent attention.

And she finalized by saying.

"I need you to be there for him. Please come back, Caleb needs you."
