The Life I never imagined (Complete)

Chapter 25

2 YEARS LATER

I was now 19 years old and was graduating in a few months' time doing my internship in some banking firm while Miso was doing his Internship training... or at least should be. Candice and I, yes I never called her mom but Ivy did and we were good like that. Ivy never told me how things went with her mother but all I know is that she went back to live with her that year until now and they were good together. Now of cause I wasn't happy about it but I had no choice because Ester is her mother and will always be. I avoided Ester at all costs by meeting Ivy in town rather than visiting her there. Toby and I were friends... more like he was my mentor and Miso and I were still besties and lovers though we fought every now and then like any normal couple but no fight was too big for us. I worked under Toby and he was single. Craig was a great father, my twin and I were like fire and ice we were always at each other's throats and my little brother Selwyn who was 12, was a sweetheart and we got along like a house on fire. Ivy was doing her matric and she was 15 years old and she wanted to study at Yale or Stanford and Craig said if she had the results then she could study anywhere she wanted to. I was meeting up with Miso for lunch. I sat down opposite him and poor thing looked like he hadn't slept in days.

Me: you look like shiit

Him: I know. How are you? How's work?

Me: I'm good. Work's good. How are you? How's school?

Him: I'm quitting

Me: I'm sorry what?

Him: I'm dropping out. Land surveying is not for me

Me: since when? How do your parents even feel about you quitting?

Him: Dad and I had an argument just this morning about it. I haven't told mom yet

I looked at him waiting for him to say he's joking or something but nope, not Misokuhle

Me: and if you quit what are you going to study? You already in your last year doing your Internship

Him: I know. I'm thinking of studying IT, Aya's husband has been teaching me a thing or two

Me: IT though?

Him: LS is boring Buttercup. I also want to do something I will enjoy doing like you and the rest of my siblings

Me: and what does Mama Bess say?

Him: dad will probably tell her when he gets back from his meeting

I just nodded. This guy is supposed to graduate next year; I don't get why the sudden change of heart. I thought he loved what he was doing and I'm certain his mom won't let him quit just like that. Oh God!

Me: Bubbles why don't you finish your Internship and then study IT when you've secured a job?

Him: Buttercup I...

His phone rang and he answered it. Judging by the sudden change of tone and look on his face you could tell it wasn't good news at all. He stood up

Me: what?

Him: my father was shot. I have to go

Me: Mis...

He was already out of the door. I settled the bill and then ran after him but he was already gone. He was in a bad state, I was praying so hard that he doesn't get into an accident, I cannot afford to lose him. I don't want to lose him. I love him that much. On the news in the café they were talking about a shooting that broke out and business Mogul Derrick Bess who was following in his father and grandfather's steps was shot and it seems serious, the woman reading the news said she would update us later on. I looked at the time and my lunch was pretty much over but later on I was going to call Miso and go visit Mr Bess. I drove back to work, yes I had a car of my own... courtesy of my newly founded mother. She was actually not a house wife and she worked for the money she had and she was a great person, a good mother even though we had our differences every now and then. I got to the office and called Miso but he wasn't answering any of my calls.
