Regrets and Mistakes

Chapter 24

Jorge " what was so urgent you could not tell me over
the phone"
She moved her chair closer to mine,her eyes bloodshot and puffy,she cried all night from the look of things,something else was lingering in her eyes,fear,she had so much fear in her,she placed her cold hands on the table trying to emphasize as she began speaking," what I am about to tell you is very delicate,you are not allowed to tell anyone ever ever, these are very dangerous people Jorge and I would not want you to face the same fate as Nicolas " her tears rolled down upon the mention of his name,she quickly wiped them with her jumper," I know who did this to Nicolas " she sighed. My curiosity was over the roof,she seemed so sure of what she was saying,I blinked uncontrollably trying to remain calm" who did it " I asked her persuasively," Nicolas was involved in something with some very powerful people...she continued,after 2 hours straight my jaw was on the floor so such things actually happen,so the girl I'm obsessed with is an heiress to a fortune that she has no idea about,I promised her I would get to the bottom of whatever happened to Nicolas and the culprit will be punished,this investigation was personal I had to make sure I did it myself,first things first I need to find out who Nicolas was,Chuma's personality and her relationship with her husband,why they never had children and about Muna,having thought about her the reflection of her eyes came before me,her tall figure her shy but strong personality,her inability to show emotions and her guilt when someone sees her vulnerability,I have been watching her for sometime,my way of getting to her was showing her there's absolutely nothing to admire about her,I am even more determined to get her to be not even mr rich man will get in my way,it's not about the money to be honest,it's about her and her alone. " will you help me" she desperately asked,I shook her hands and she squeezed it thanking me. She gulped her last coffee down turning around and waving goodbye.
Muna's POV
When I woke up this morning samba was gone,I thought of giving her space,she needed to grieve in peace without feeling trapped,I had to show up at work just to feel better from the overwhelming sadness I have lived through the past few hours,I was dying to see Hastings but his office was locked,that's odd he is normally the first person to arrive here,should I call him I debated in my head,I noticed my department door handle was opened,it must have been the cleaner she probably arrived earlier than me today,I slightly opened the door just to be safe,my office was decorated with flowers from the floor to the table,my heart melted,I held my hands to my chest in amusement,so this is what being a girlfriend feels like I squirmed,smelling every bouquet of flowers,my shoes were buried In the petals on the floor,there was a gift bag on the table I excitedly bent to grab it," I hope this heals some broken parts of your precious soul,I miss you" the note read,my emotions were flying,tears rolled out of my eyes I had no shame in hiding them" never in my life have I received a single petal,here you are with a garden" a voice rang behind me,her hands on her chest,we embraced in tears,that was the most emotional moment of my life," patients will be here soon help me clean this mess" I joked." Let them see how loved their therapist is" she laughed.we got brooms and swept the petals off the ground leaving the bouquets hanging where they were. My day went on smooth,I enjoyed my work and even managed to forget my sister was grieving and my mom was in a coma.
Mweemba's POV
I needed to come up front and clear my name at the police station so they can allow me to cover for his funeral,he had no family what so ever,given he was my employee at the moment of his death I had to pay him my last respects,I called my god son in the morning to help me with the funeral preparations,of course they asked for my presence but that's where having money comes in we simply bought off every officer who wanted more information about my family and what Nicolas was hiding. I and my friend sibeso waited to hear updates from him. It was done my family and I were going to hold his funeral the next day which was a Saturday,the same night I would tell my wife everything to do with my past,i have kept her in the dark for so long,the only way she will agree to come for this funeral is if I promise to tell her who Nicolas was. My heart has been stuck on the young lady I almost ran over the other night,I was hoping she would call although I am relieved she did not hurt herself I just wished she had called me.
Hastings POV
I picked my girlfriend up from work as a surprise,it took me an hour to convince her to have a quick dinner date with me,she was worried about leaving her sister alone,we made sure we spoke to her before leaving for the restaurant. Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail,the long black dress with a slit on the thigh complimented her thighs and curves,the nude makeup she had on blew my mind away,her eyes were shinier than ever,the new perfume smelled like heaven,her charm bracelet on her hand completed the look.
