Six years later on .......

Life gives a lot of lessons ,some might come hard to understand ,some might be easy ,some are funny and some cry our sorrows down the road  , difficult to settle in mind but in one way or another we always tend to remember we've been taught about something as we live .

I've made mistakes never to be forgotten , people say it might be too risky trusting people but not trusting my beloved one at all ,in conditions where they needed me lead me to regrets .

I've learned to take risks and test their limits as I should have trusted my beloved wife back then when I didn't , I should have been with her but I wasn't and now she's gone ...forever.

Life has fucking wiped my ass for that it still does but I've learned not to repeat and so I let her go because she believed she'd never be good with me ,I would never be enough for her because I've proved her that and failed miserably on proving that I can change for her and now I know that deep down she's right .

I would never be enough for her , I don't deserve her ,I've failed her and failed to be better for her . Anger clouded my judgement and I'd hated her so much ,so she'd be happier without me , I would be selfish if I kept her in my holds when I've her hurt her so bad .

Seeing her with Ray at first broke my heart ,my jealousy spiked to it's outburst , I wanted her back with me but deep down I knew it would be so impossible because of my stupidity .

I kept tabs on her for the first few years when I would see how happy she was with Ray than she were with me , it made me smile despite of the failure I felt .

I'd let down my woman .

And now she's someone's else .

The little family that Ray succeeded in giving her brightened her days more than she would been with mine , I was a disaster and I caused drought out of her warm water filled heart .

And am sorry ,I will always be sorry .

And am happy that she's happy without me somewhere after I left trailing down her life .

I'd moved on with guilt and lesson to never repeat the same mistakes and I've learned that .

Walking to the house of my young brother that also has moved on with his wife Camillah and their boys Nathan and Nick .

I was happy on the news of her delivery , some angels walked right inyo our house and I'd treasured them for my whole life .

Millah was a good sister ,wife and a mother , I saw that too with Femy when I'd court her back then and she's been way too good than I imagined .

Gareth now worked for my company that I built from the scraps of failures after embezzlement case that fell upon us , I suppose every one has mistakes to learn and so did our father .

It was my nephew's birthday , so proud of my brother to score the goal on the same day different years making these two trouble brats having same birthday , if I know maths .

" Uncle Ren " they both shouted on seeing me and it warmed my heart , they were my children since I had no one ,hopefully I'd find mine someday .

" Happy birthday ,cutie troubles " I responded picking both of them on different hands .

" My kids are not troubles " Milla voice warned me and I turned to see a spatula pointed my way and I smirked .

" They're " I mumbled kissing the kids that squealed my hands ,I let them down and they ran to the gifts on my hand ,snatching them before checking them out .

I turned to see Gareth kissing his wife .

These two would never grow up .

" Brother " came Garetgs voice after he'd let his wife go .

" Happy birthday " I spoke taking my seat and he laughed .

" Well it's not mine to take "

" But you made them and that's my happiness " he'd smile to that everwhen I say it but I mean .

We'd celebrate the birthday and went out for more fun , the kids were happy and so was I until it was time I walked back home .

Standing on my front door I looked at the woman whom sat before it ,her head between her knees taking all the cold despite of the warnings I give everyday .

She raised her head noting  a presence and I frowned at her .

" Why are you here , Eunice " I'd ask her the same question whenever I find her at my door step despite knowing why she was really here but I wanted nothing in fulfilling her wishes .

" I've come to see you " she mumbled then slowly licking her lips nervously as I stared at them .

" I wanted to tell you something "

And I knew what she wanted to say , she'd been at it for two years now .

" I'll be leaving tomorrow " ..I froze ,I didn't expect that . " And I wanted to see you for the last time if not ....and that I want to give up on you , I want to not love you and find someone else because you're not able to love , you don't want to love "

She looked at her feet's trying hard to stop the tears .

Yes I'd spout that nonsense for years now and this woman was gell bent on making me hers ,coming at me way boldly than anyone has ever had ,and I don't want to succumb in that because am afraid to hurt her ,like I did to Femy .

" I've left my resignation letter at your table and packed my stuffs ,I'll be flying away and I won't be telling you anything because I want to move on from you .....

" Don't ..." My lips spoke immediately than what my brain checked but I meant it . Gareth had spoken few words to me about finding a family ,giving myself a chance , giving live a chance .

Everyone bad in my life was gone and I stood still , he'd told me to bury that bad person in me and move forward with the lesson I got just like he did , he'd said even heaven cried over all and now the sun shines , so I should take steps .

And here stood a woman who wanted me two years ,showed me love and patience but I didn't trust myself to have her because I was afraid I'd break her .

But I believe guilt living isn't what to show you've learned but moving forward with no space for the same mistakes does .

I took steps towards her as her shocked eyes tried to understand every move am doing ,when I held her cheeks smoothly and leaned forward to kiss her lips

I'd loved her but was a coward and afraid but I'd make it right from where I wronged to this woman , I'd never be the same man Aufemia knew and not to make her jealy but to live as a man who have learned his lesson of life .

She'd be happy knowing I did , and I'll be happy proving it.

Eunice kissed me like it was the end of the word and I needed no word to add to that don't because she knew that I accepted her and wanted her too .

And so I lived that lesson I learned and built my new family with happiness ,love and Trust .

The end.......
