Regrets and Mistakes

Chapter 17

Narrators POV
From the time she left Nicolas's house,her mind was tense,she could not relax,she went straight home to her mothers room who seemed mentally exhausted,her beddings were wet from the tears she shed,her head was full of questions but she had to keep it low for her family's safety,she pushed her sisters door open and grabbed her phone,that day she spent the entire day stalking mr mweemba and his wife on their social media pages,those people were wealthier than she had ever imagined.
Back at the hospital Muna was loosing her mind at every kiss she shared with Hastings,the moment got so intense that he began to unbutton her shirt,that made her furious,she painfully bit his lower lip and pushed him away,running around the passage while trying to button her shirt,people were staring and the registry knew exactly what was happening. As she got to her door step heard the registry's footsteps behind her,Muna knew she saw what had happened between them" sis,the pain that's coming your way will make this hospital too small to accommodate you both" she blurted while picking on her fingers.normally she'd blurt things out because she wants to gossip but this time she seemed very sure of what she had said,Muna gasped at her words" what...what do you mean " her eyes staring into her face,she turned around and left with her hands in the air.Muna's thoughts were driving her insane,her mind was stuck between what she felt and what she believed about men,why was she getting distracted,that was never the plan.she had to set things right.... right there and then,she put herself together both physically and mentally,her head was high again,chest out and focused,she knocked on the door,meeting her eyes with Hastings who was looking at her through his mug of coffee,"are you busy " she plainly asked. He nodded his head,as he gulped down the coffee,placing his hands on the table showing focus to what she had to say" look,I am sorry if I may have given you the wrong impression but that is not who I am,I do not kiss random men" his hands moved to his chest as he faked a frown,she rolled her eyes at his stupid actions,she was being serious but he was taking it as a joke" I am not playing " she seriously said,playing with her amulet,his eyes were teary,not out of sadness but emotion real emotion," I am very much aware you are not such a woman,women like you deserve love,care,respect and real titles,forgive me Muna " those words were supposed to bring comfort to her but instead they broke the little parts of her heart all over again,could it be she expected a different answer from him,she had hope again when he opened his mouth exposing his neatly arranged dental," the truth is I have been trying to communicate through my actions but I went the wrong way,here is the thing,you are beautiful,smart,focused and you know what you want,you are just like me Muna and that is why I am finding it hard to accept" he paused trying to keep himself in check,her jaw was dropped in anticipation to what was going to be said,before he could continue his phone vibrated,probably a text message,his expression switched to nervous," what I'm trying to say is can we talk about this at dinner tonight,okay...,will you have...may I take you to dinner tonight?" Her face lightened up and she nodded," thanks,I need to take this,text me your address I'll pick you up at 7" he got up in a hurry as he headed towards the car park. She squirmed in excitement,her first date.
Muna's POV
He was into me,just like I was into him,our different worlds were similar in every sense of the word,what was I going to wear,let's see,if I wear my black figure hugging dress with my only pair of heels I'll be overdressed,if I pair the dress with pumps I'll be too simple,this is harder than I thought,he is always on point with his suits,I will have to put in more effort,maybe I should go shopping with samba but she will ask me what the occasion is and I do not want her to know she will tease me for it,I'll just go shopping on my own maybe I can get the opinion of someone there,I arrived at the nearest shop at the mall,my eyes could not believe the prices on these dresses,some had my salary on them,I giggled under my hands so people would not notice," anything I can help you with ma'am"
"Please " I sigh,there is someone to help me finally
" what is the occasion " she asks as checks the dress out,he said it's dinner but do I call it a date with the boss I've been messing around with someone help me. I panic " a date" I respond before I could stop the words from leaving my mouth. " come with me" she leads the way and I follow her,the prices here are a little affordable,she picks the blue dress and points at the fitting room so I can try it on. I really like the dress I thank her before paying and leaving trying to hide it from the world,I push it down my hand bag. When I get home I go straight to my mothers room and my face is full of concern,she is shaking I am now getting worried about her condition,it seems too tense,"mother" I call out,her eyes are bloodshot seems she been crying " what happened to her" I ask,knowing samba is in my room.
