What happens when everyone sees you the same way, a self absorbed, egotistical, spoilt, arrogant person even though you're not?
But then you meet the one person who stands by you, pampers you and consoles you?
How would you feel when you find ou...
I stood by the window looking outside, admiring the garden behind the house. Who would have thought I would be in this situation right now especially because no one saw it coming. I was stupid and reckless I should have known people like me don't fall in love, we never do.
Here I am 2years later still hiding although I plan to change that very soon. I'm 28 almost thirty and I'm not married, I'm not even sure I will ever get married. I'm going to make sure they all pay by hook or by crook, I will make sure of it.
Many things kept going on in my head but I was rudely interrupted when Lara came in. She is baba's international partner Damien Hobb's daughter. We have always been close so when she heard I was coming here she left her apartment and then we both bought a house and we're living together.
"Rumy, lunch is ready you should come down" she says jumping on my bed. "Okay but why are you in my bed when we should be eating?" "You're always alone these days, you push all of us away. Tell me, are you still hatching a plan?" She asks with a hint of annoyance. "If I don't the heavens won't even let me sleep"
"But then how are—" I cut her off. She really is starting to irritate me. Yes it was a devilish idea but that is exactly why it's called revenge so you can hurt the other person/people so much they won't try to mess with you or anyone again, ever.
"—Lara don't interfere, alright?" "Okay then let's go eat before it gets cold and so you can get enough time to finish packing up your things" "Yeah sure what did you make?" "Your favorite" "Sweet"

From a distance I can see Salam's head, that tall boy. "Yo!" He wraps his arms around my shoulder when I walk up to him. "Oh so I'm the one you're calling 'yo'?" I ask him. "No just that guy I don't know behind you" "I hate your stupid sarcasm, that's why I don't really like talking to you"
"I'm hurt, so very very very hurt" he answers back holding his chest and closing his eyes, mocking me.
"I love to see you in pain" "It's because you love me so goddamn much" "In your dreams" "Oh really? Want me to play that voice note you sent me?".
I shove my bag in his chest and started walking to the door.
Oh sweet vengeance.
Turns out baba paid someone to get rid of the video and the story about it, so it can be easier for me to move around, show an ounce of memory recovery and talk about it and I can't promise you will sleep that night.
"So how is everyone there? Zubair?" Madina asks winking. Asking about my boyfriend. "He's doing well, he'll be arriving here next week but by then I'll be in Kaduna" "Really?" She asks and I nod back. "Yeah I have unfinished business to attend to" I tell her.
