Inever heard from Laura again after that day she took Gideon and left, and neither did her Dad. Most nights, I would sit down at the parlour of my new house, just thinking about myself and wondering what I ever did to Laura for her to treat me the way she treated me, I had given her everything a man could give a woman, my love, my time, hell!, she was the only woman I had given my heart to after Sandra, and after knowing everything I had been through, she did this to me.
I have never been myself after that day, I went to work and came back , smiling for my mother, so she wouldn't worry about me, but inside, I was dead, Laura had taken the only life left in me after Sandra's demise and I was now an empty shell of who I used to be.
Sometimes people say it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, but looking at my situation, I would have preferred never to have loved. Love has brought me nothing but continuous pain and anguish.
Most days when life was too unbearable, I would head over to the library, but after a while, I would head home because even the library reminded me off her. She had infiltrated every part of my solitary life, and now I had nothing to fall back on in my time of grieve.
Mom tried to cheer me up most times, and she did a ' great job ' , yeah am being Sarcastic in case you haven't noticed. Soon, I didn't even want to go to work, my lack of enthusiasm affected my work hugely and my manager having pity on me told me to take some days off ,to get some steam off and so a vacation I took.
I packed my things and headed to Greece after my mom and I ,together with my therapist had agreed that I needed a vacation. So on a bright Tuesday morning, I was on a plane headed for Greece . Mom was the one who drove me to the airport, she waited till she was sure I was on the plane before she left even though she couldn't see me.
There are two kinds of people in this world, those who learn from their past mistakes and those who don't. My time in Greece taught me a lot of valuable lessons, for instance that life was too short to be spent away morphing over a girl who didn't care enough to lie to you and leave you heartbroken.
I started coming back to my old self, little by little, during the afternoons, the manager of the hotel I was staying in, would send his son Adonis whom I had met on my first day in in Greece and we had hit it off immediately as friends, who would escort me through the city, pointing out important landmarks to me.
Adonis told me a lot about his family and I in turn told him a lot about my life and he sympathized with me saying that a man didn't deserve so much suffering. By the end of my stay, I had gone to places like Cape sounionthe ruins of the ancient Greek god Poseidon's temple. Known as the goddess of the sea, the temple was situated at the southernmost tip of the Atticapeninsula.
The remains of the temple is perched on the headland , which is surrounded on three sides by the sea. It was a sight to see and Adonis and I took our sweet time there, exploring the ruins.
I took couple of pictures of the ruins and of Adonis and I to show Mama when I finally got home to Miami.
Next we had gone to MountAthos, a peninsula also in northern Greece where most monks resided. It housed about 1,400 monks and as such, only males were allowed to enter and so Adonis and I found no problem at all going in.
I also visited the SamariaGorgeCanyon , and I must say, my stay in Greece was very eventful, as all good things must come to an end, it was soon time for me to go back home and it saddened me leaving Adonis behind, but his father promised he would let him pay me a visit in the coming months and with that, I was driven to the airport where I caught a flight back home.
Mom met me at the airport and was very happy to see the changes in me, turns out all I needed was a two months vacation away from home, to get over her and here I was fully refreshed and energized to face life with full vim.
Its been almost a year since my vacation in Greece and Adonis and I still kept in contact as good friends should, his father had passed away and he was left to manage his chain of hotels and as such, he couldn't find time to come see me, I assured him it was alright and that he shouldn't worry his head over it but he still insisted he would come visit as soon as he got time off.
Am happy to say mom has started going out again and even though I knew she would be moving out to her own house soon should the marriage fall through, all that mattered was that she was happy.
Things were finally looking up and I was happy for once in my life , I was happy the way things were, my siblings came to visit now and then when they could, and we kept in contact everyday. This is all I have ever wanted in my life, to be happy. But there's a saying that says that, beforeastorm, there'ssilence.
