'hey man sorry for keeping you waiting'

It's okay I don't mind it was nice to see you listening to my advice you know'

'what advice'

'you are beginning to care for her can't you see'

No it's only because she is sick'

I was wondering what was wrong with her? But still you are a bit different that's nice'

Think what you wish, what can I offer you?'

Nothing I actually came here to discuss little business and also a personal matter with you'

Really is all well?'

yes do you remember Christy?'

Is it the same Christy Mack our childhood friend who went abroad after her university days'

Yep the same one, she is back in the country and is pregnant for her fiancee we met each other at a function I attended' he said sighing . Gabe knew Chris was in love with her and even though she left he never completely forgot about her although he had affair with various women his heart is focused on Christy

'look man maybe it's a sign for you to finally let her go you know, this your one sided love should stop, it's high time you stop'

' I can't Gabe I love her so much it hurts'

' so what do you want to do, break her engagement she will never forgive if you do so just end it all here'

Chris then burst laughing, while Gabe watched him with a are you okay look .when his laughter finally subsided he said
'Gabe it's funny you know'

'what is?'

'the fact of things that you are giving advice you have refused to apply'

' I don't understand'

You telling to let go, but has refused to do the same and open your heart for genuine love to heal your broken parts'

Mine is different'

How so?'
'I didn't fall in love with someone who did not reciprocate it'

True but you fell in love, was deceived and now have refused to do so again, you also have experienced it, because if you weren't what Lissy did will not hurt you but it did, as you trusted her and tried your possible best to believe that it was all a lie'

'enough Chris'

No it's not enough I need to tell you everything now that we are discussing this and am not so sober, what pains me the most about all this is that you are dragging a poor innocent woman into all this'

She can leave she has a choice to do so'

And bear the scorn and lash out of the media for life, don't you get it she will be termed as a failure, it's high time you hold onto the responsibility and if you want her to walk away make it so that she leaves honourably as she has been living in embarrassment all this while I will be going now, let's discuss business later OK I need to get wasted before I can sleep bye'

Gabe sat down and processed all Chris said he then realized it was true that she always prefers to stay at home than go out for public functions is it because of the gossipers going around
Chris is right I am making her miserable with my behavior she doesn't deserve this

Gabe went back to check on her in her room, he stood and stared at her for a while and saw a book he opened it and realized that it was a --------
