AMY

My Engagement

Alonso came later looking all formal for the occasion. Ana came on with the food. Renato followed with the drinks.

"Who is he?" Alonso asked.
"My cousin". Ana replied. They set everything and then sat down.

Afterwards, Alfonso stood up and said, "I need to make everything formal which is the right way and I'll make sure I do it in the best way possible". I wasn't feeling right. I had fallen in love with a different guy or something like that. Just then I felt the urge to vomit. I stood up and ran to the bathroom and threw it all up.

I came back and Ana said, "Good, you have started showing symptoms". Symptoms, what symptoms is she taking about. Oh yeah, I am pregnant.

"Will you marry me Amy and accept to be my wife?" Alfonso asked. I looked at Renato and he didn't seem happy. I then looked at Amy but couldn't guess what she felt. "Yes I will Alonso, I will marry you" I answered. "I promise to take good care of you and your child" Alfonso added. "Your child?" Renato asked.

I tried to talk but I was tongue tied. I became clueless until" Yes Renato, Amy is pregnant" Ana said. "No one told me we were going to have someone else. Maybe a boy I could play football with" Renato said. "Oh Renato. You are old enough to be the child's father" Ana said. Yes he is and I somewhat wish he was not that crook Alfred Anderson. These words just took me to the past. I remembered Alfred, the situation under which I got pregnant and all the sinful things I did with him.

I also remembered Samson, the good things he did for me and also that great love he had or still has for me. The money he spent on me. Samson just have to move on because I won't return now. I needed to start a life and a family before going back.

Then also Renato. I don't know what I really feel for him and I don't want to be fooled again. It is clear I no more love Alfonso but I am doing this for my baby. Sometimes I regret leaving Samson. It wasn't his fault that all this happened but he is the one suffering. I know he would have understood everything if I should have explained or he could have thought the child was his since we once had sex. He called and texted me but I did not even try calling back neither did I read any of his texts to talk of replying. He might be in agony thinking something might have happened to me. I am being selfish and heartless here. I think this is the place I have to take that giant step and call Samson. He is the man who really loved me and the one I really love.

The dinner went by quickly. Alonso and Ana were just talking about hoe great the wedding will be and Renato was just staring at me which made me feel uncomfortable. After the dinner, I went to my room. I picked up my phone and dialed his number.

Me: hello
Samson: Samson Brooks speaking. Who is this please?
Me: It's Amy
Samson: Amy?
Me: Yes Samson. It's me Amy Ross.
Samson: My love where are you. Have they kidnapped you. Ask them how much they want and I'll pay. I promise not to bring the cops. They should just let you go or they should come and get me too.
Me: Samson relax. No one has harmed me. I am gone.
Samson: Where to? I will come there immediately. Even if it's the end of the earth.
Me: There is no need for you to come
Samson: Why my love?
Me: Because I will come.
Samson: When?
Me: Soon but not soon enough.
Samson: I will be waiting.
Me: Do not wait for me. Move on. Because your wait will be a waste of time.
Samson: Come soon, I will be waiting for you.
Me: Samson plea...........
Samson: Bye my love.
Me: bye.

I could here him crying but we both need to stay strong, it's for the best. I felt bad after the call but it will benefit us both if I was far away. Just then Ana entered the room and saw me crying. "What is it she asked? Are those tears of joy? It's natural, you are finally engaged and soon will be married". She said. "No Ana it's not about the engagement. I just called Samson." I said. "Not those people again, they have hurt you enough and ruined your life already, why go on with them?" She said. "No. Samson had no hands in it neither does he know about it" I said. "Don't try to defend any of them. They are all the same people". She said. "No they are not. Samson is different". I replied. "Okay. What did he say?" She asked. "He will be waiting" I replied. "Then he is going to be waiting for a very long time." She said.
