Along the road of life

Regrets

Chapter 25

I have been staying here for two days now and it feels like forever. I watch movies, chat and anything available to do to get me out of boredom.

Osman said we'll talk today but he's out and has not yet return. Its almost midnight and am sleepy.

I decided to sleep for some minutes on the coach and maybe if he walked in  i'll wake up. Not that i care if he stay out forever but am just curious about so many things that only him can answer.

Waking up on my soft luxurious bed which is extravagance. I quickly get up realizing in didn't sleep on it, how did i get here?.

I walk down stairs only to meet Osman watching TV and sipping a cup of tea or coffee i guess.

"When did you get back?" I curiously asked.
"Yesterday"  i calmly answer without even spearing me a glance.
"Why didn't you wake me and how did i get to my room.?"  That's when he look up and smirk.

How i wish i could wipe that annoying smirk off his face.
"You haven't answer me"
"I didn't know you'll be the caring wife, well don't forget I've divorce you."
"That's not the answer i request for"
"Oh, about you waking up on your bed. You were sleep waking."
"What!"
"You were sleep walking. Has no one told you that before, you walk while sleeping. Unless you have problem with your ears or you can't jut comprehend what am saying"

"What if i have fall down and hurt myself"
"I see no bruises on you" he looked at me searching for bruises.
"When are you going to tell me the truth am sure you intentionally made me wait."
"That's quit true. I have to admit you're at least smart, don't let it get in your head"  making me glare at him and walk away.

"At least have breakfast and take a bath before we  talk"
I walked back to my room and take my bath frustrated by Osman. He really have the nerves. Have i really  walk while sleeping?

Putting on my cloth i called Munira
"Hey babe, how are you?"
"Am good, you haven't visit me yet?"
"Its not even a week Azee. But i'll come maybe on weekend"
"Alright, do i walk while sleeping?"
"What?"
"Osman said i was sleep walking"
She just burst in laughter.
"Stop Munira, just answer"
"Haha, did he really, hahaha........"
"You aren't helping"
"God, this is funny i have to tell everyone about this"
"Munira!!! I hate you"
"I love you more babe."
"Aren't you going to tell me?"

"She's not tell you anything. And stop making me wait for you" he took the phone away and left.

"You are going to give that back to me right?"
"Of cause.  I can't hold cheap phones for less than an hour. My hand burns"
"Has anyone ever told you that you're arrogant"
"I know"

That's how Osman left me to my curiosity and refuse to have the talk.
I decided to just ignore him. Something about him made me think if he's the rapist.  If not of the circumstance of how i know him and how we get marriage, i would have  thought that i made the worst decision in my life.

He'll work from home, cook all meals and always try to start a decent conversation without fight. He'll tell  me jokes just to make me laugh and then annoy me just to see me frustrated.

Its now a day to three months, I've parked all my belongings. I wanted to call Munira to come and pick me up but then Osman said he'll drop me since he has to clear my name.

I have parked all my things and was zipping the luggage when Osman walked in.

"Um, i want to apologize for all the pain I've caused you, i know i have hurt you, the lies, the separation from your family and everything. If only i could bring back those time i'll make everything right. I just want say am sorry, i don't know if you can ever forgive me or not." He was mute and his eyes were filled with tears. I could see his Adams apple moving up and down. He looked up to Mr and give me a sadistic smile before continuing

" I'll always have that regret in me, and i won't be able forgive myself either so  i ask for your forgiveness. I actually filled a whole paper on how to apologize but I've forget.". He force out a laugh which has not reach his heart and walked away.

I sat down thinking of what just happen. I get the luggage off my bed and then lye down to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day.

The day I've been waiting for and now that its here and not so excited about it. I felt nothing, no regret nor happiness. Its like i have no feelings again and my heart was just empty.

The car was quite that if a needle fall you'll hear the sound. Well am exaggerating. But the car is so quite.

Osman is not talking, neither am i. We are both lost in our thought. It was a quite ride home.

When he parked the car and we step out. He knocked the down as Ahmad open the door. He's still the same, as cute as i remember him.

"Good evening uncle Dad is inside"  I guess he didn't recognize me. We walked in and sat down as he left to call his father.

"Osman what a pleasent surprise. When did you return to naija" Ya Saif said before he looked at me. His face was emotionless.

Okay, this is weird but WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG🤔

OMG  Osman regrets his deed.😯

He apologize and felt bad.😪

Azee is clueless of what's happening. So are we💁
