''Cynthia ....wondered what was actually happening to her...why wasn't she feeling sad ....when he had confessed that he was in love with Lily..........Cynthia had been on the impression that she loved Richard.......perhaps ,,,it was just the feelings of love for a friend and not as a woman loves a man..........''Richard........you have to tell lily how you feel about her......and i guess it is mutual afterall...she has her hot eyes on you,,,,i have seen the way she looks at you.........
Richard hugged Cynthia to thank her and this was witnessed by The couple dancing a few feet away.....the man...Marcus..Shane.......laughed .......his laughter reaching Cynthia much to her chagrin.........Together with Richard,,,she left the dance floor in search of Lily.......she was alone seated by the swimming pool............ Richard was a little hesistant,,,but Cynthia nudged him forward and on purpose cleared her throat.......Lily turned ........Richard saw her tear filled eyes......
Cynthia moved away ,a shadow crossed her......
Cynthia went back to the dance floor....and danced with other colleagues...........a sudden despair began to prey on her soul.....perhaps she was fated to be single............the beautiful women in Marcus.Shane's arms laughed again ..and whispered into his ears,.......The more Cynthia looked at them ,,,the more irritated she got.....she got up after a few drinks and rushed out for some fresh air .... she stumbled and her guardian caught her from falling'
'' what's the rush cynthia girl..the night is stll young......and where is Richard ..he was glued to you ..now he has gone missing.......Brian..smith said ,,steadying Cynthia back to her feet
oh,.he is with lily............Mumbled Cynthia .....
i am a little tired uncle ,i need to go........
are you sure you are okay.....you look a little pale.........come i will drive you home......Brian smith offered but cynthia refused and hurried away to where her parked car was....a young lad rushed out from no where and knocked into her......cynthia swayed and fell ..flat on her back ........thank god it was on grass........'''Er Miss ..miss...wake up...i am sorry.........it was an accident,....Cynthia opened her eyes.....a pair of concerned eyes were staring at her......he helped Cynthia to her feet.......'i am sorry.........
cynthia tried to recall where she had seen the boy before,,
''i know who you are.........;you are that boy who rammed my car a few months back........''
''it was my ...''' The boy tried to explain........but cynthia brushed him aside........and touched her head ,,, it was a little heavy...........
''Mum........he blurted out suddenly ......and froze....
Cynthia turned her gaze to where the boy's attention was.
the woman who was with Marcus Shane.......stood watching her
Mum...i am sorry......it was an accident........i was looking for robby.....it just dashed out of the car...
as Cynthia watched this little commotion Marcus appeared with a poodle in his arms.
"Jesus christ.....'' thought Cynthia . Marcus shane was a married man...and father to this boy............
Cynthia's thoughts were in chaos........she just turned...and walked away to her car..and took out her car keys......
her vision was blurred and she just slumped on her car...
Cynthia heard voices and slowly opened her eyes.........she recognised her uncle Brian Smith......and she could see Richard and lily also there....''she tried to get up... ''
'' relax miss....you need to rest........and eat well....looks like you have deprived yourself of food.........i suggest someone get her food..
she needs sleep too.......i will check on her in two days time..
the Dr left .......followed by Richard and lily..........Brian Smith stayed behind..... he made sure cynthia stayed in bed..........
I will be alright ,,,uncle please.....''Cynthia tried to reason with Brian Smith ......but he refused to leave her side and made sure she ate the food that was brought for here...
Sleep claimed Cynthia and she slept.... like a baby all curled up under her blanket..............
when she woke up again... her apartment was filled with scents of roses.....Cynthia sat on bed.....and looked around her,.......she was surrounded by the most beautiful and fragrant roses........small trays of scented tea lights candles lit creating a soft soothing glow... Cynthia slowly swung her legs to the floor.......her uncle Brian was there ..his back was turned to the wall and he was holding something in his hand..........Cynthia was shocked beyond words...it was a Valentine card........Cynthia closed her mouth to stiffle a cry
her uncle and guardian was the culprit who had been placing the Valantine cards.........how could he.........she had respected him like he was her own father.........
the apartment door opened and the young boy she had encountered earlier walked in followed closely by his mother......
"are you alright Cynthia.....'''the woman enquired.........'' Brian Smith turned and greeted ..her..." ah susan .......nice of you to visit.....
I am feeling better......thank you........''replied Cynthia.............
good then i will leave you to rest...,....
.Brian smith explained that susan was the anonymous person who had signed the 2 million cheque for the charity funds which was organised'
Cynthia felt a little sore in her heart....she could not fathom what was going within her..she wanted to confront Brian Smith about the Valentine cards......she walked up to him and touched his shoulder ,,,when her door opened once more and Marcus Shane walked in with more Roses..............................
