MARIAN CASTLE

"No matter how hard your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief."- Faraaz Kazi

IN THE CASTLE'S MANSION

It's another beautiful Saturday morning, I am lying on my customised couch in the sitting room like the Queen I am, as I was currently typing seriously on my golden laptop as I try to make Lady Clara Davis see reason with me that it was not necessary to divorce her husband,who she found out a few months ago was cheating on her with the famous 21 year old bikini model Kimberley, because logically it was partially her fault her husband jumped into Kimberley's willing arms, it was to be expected since Lady Clara the owner of the popular lingerie fashion house "HER PRIDE" focused more attention on her work neglecting her family, I recall my meeting with Mr Davis, I had to summon him after my last appointment with Mrs Davis she cried so much pouring her heart to me that her husband betrayed her, he let her work her butt off and grow fat while he found himself a young sexy girl to have fun with behind her back,
On Mr Davis part he said he loves his wife dearly but any time he needed her she will complaint of how hectic her day at work was and how tired she is and snap at him of being selfish for only thinking of his lustful needs,
"for God's sake I'm only human we crave for love, I am a man with needs, I need to be loved too" he said
And that was how he met Kimberley she seemed to notice his pain and care, since he was her heartthrob in elementary school, she showered him with love and asked for nothing in return just his love and attention she was willing to play the second woman just to have him even for a little while, she is young, beautiful, sexy, successful and crazy for him, she adorned him and was willing to satisfy his needs and comfort him anytime he calls her, she cancelled important appointments for him, what his own wife that he has adorned for years refused to do for him Kimberley did without hesitation,so he took the invitation,but when Clara found out and asked for a divorce he regretted everything, he hated himself for being a liar, cheater and Heartbreaker. He hurt Clara the only woman he has ever loved and he is on the verge of loosing her, and he also felt bad for hurting Kimberley a sweet girl who loved him and did everything to make him happy but what did he do for her used her and left her broken, he recalled how Kimberley begged him to not leave her that she understood his love for Clara and was willing to lay low till the scandal cools off that they will go back the way they were before but he refused apologising for what he has done to her leaving her broken and hating Clara. I remembered shedding tears for Mr and Mrs Davis and most especially Kimberley who has become a victim of Heartbreak because of a wife's negligence, she treasured a long time crush and forgot her self worthy. sometimes the people we think are the villains of the story are actually the victims, I couldn't help but think things would have ended differently if Lady Clara showed love to her husband more maybe Kimberley could have ended up being their daughter in law since she was dating their son Ken who was a replica of his father, she broke up with him after a dinner with his family.

it hurt me so much because as a relationship expert and counsellor for 15 years, Mr and Mrs Davis has been one of my favourite clients over the years though they had problems it has always been resolved with none of them thinking of a divorce, but this time it is a very sad and delicate issue since divorce is involved.

The sweet smell of coffee filled the room as Teresa my house help brought my cup of coffee,I sat up resting my laptop on the couch and extending my hands to receive my coffee and took a sip it letting out a sign of content,it's so delicious and relaxing,
"My coffee latte just the way I like it" I thought

"Thank you" I said as I gave Teresa a satisfied smile she smiled back and left me to continue my work.

"Now for the entertainment news" said the newscaster on TV I continued enjoying my coffee giving no care for the world but I paused with wide eyes staring at the TV as I hear the headlines and see a very familiar couple on the screen it was a picture of my daughter Blanca and her musician boyfriend.

"Band leader of the popular boy band "THUNDERSTORM" Mark Miles A.K.A MM Boy,breaks up with his long time girlfriend the beautiful Blanca Castle Pink Magazine star model for her best friend Singer and Actress Sophie Banks,reporters has it that Blanca didn't take the news well as she causes a commotion at the launching of the thunderstorm's new music Album "Hello Baby" after seeing them together and Mark's open declaration of his newly discovered love for Sophie.
Can Blanca forgive their betrayal?
Or will this be the start of another intense love triangle in the entertain--" i turned off the tv reporters can be annoying at times.
"Oh dear my daughter needs me" I picked up my phone,dial a number
"hello sweetheart" I say to the person on the other line

"You heard the news right?"
"sweethea-"
"No mom i feel like a big fool (sniff) for believing him,for trusting them,they hurt me mom they (sniff) hurt me so bad and that's un(sniff)forgiveable,and there i was feeling like the luckiest girl in the world,he made me feel so beautiful,so wanted,so loved,he told me i was his muse,his inspiration,i felt so happy with him,(sniff) i told her,i told her how happy i was with him,she listened she encouraged me and yet she loved him behind back they betrayed me mom,i hate them,i hate all of them,they lied to me they hid the truth from me,i feel so stupid and useless"Blanca sobs from the other side

From my years of experience i have learnt to let my clients pour out their hearts it will help you understand them better and know how best to help them
"shiii,shiiii you are not useless, stupid or foolish,sweetheart and you definitely do not hate them because you are full of love you have no room for hate in you,you are just hurt now its normal just give yourself time and you will heal and forgive them"
"No i don't think that will ever happen mother"
After that there was silence between us,suddenly an imaginary halo of light bulb surrounds my head i just got an idea

"Sweetheart i will be with you at noon i think its time we had a mother-daughter bond time"
"mom not at a time like-"
I hang up cutting her complains short

"Tricia,Teresa set my luggage for a two months trip,will you? Thanks".
