"You didn't care to inform me till now?"I groaned when Caesar called to let me know he had to leave the country for a business deal with his dad. It was a Tuesday morning and Max had already dropped me off at the business department , I had ended my first lecture when he called. I stood at the sitting area , a frown on my face.
"Baby , it wasn't planned , I was expecting to get to Norway a month from now , I guess the process just sped up"He sounded busy as I heard other voices calling out to him to check some paperwork.
Give him a break Kay , he even called you..
"For how long?"I settled in one seat , checking my wrist watch , I had 10minutes till my next lecture was up.
"A month.."He answered huskily , seemingly in a quieter background.
"4 weeks? , 28 days?!"I growled.
"Oh Kay ,I'm already devastated about leaving you , don't make it worse"He groaned.
"I'm sorry , I'm sorry , It's just that I'm going to miss you"I sniffed.Real classic Kayla , melt 'em with tears.
"Babe , please don't tell me you're crying "
"I'm not crying , just partying , you know, concerning your departure"
"Babe.."He laughed.
" It's not funny"I sighed , enjoying the richness of his laughter.
"I'll be back before you know it Kay"
"Sure, you'll be back before I notice 40320 minutes have gone by without you"I scoff.
"...."There was silence.
"Forgive me , I'm just being paranoid , you should go , it's clearly urgent"I blamed myself for stressing him out with my little tantrum.
"I love you"He huskily proclaimed.
"Well , destiny has tied us together , what else can you do other than love me."I chuckled , he laughed softly.
"Uhuh..and we did prove the universal theory , 'opposites attract' "he teased back .
" What's that supposed to mean?"I frowned.
"Two can play this game wife to be..Now if I'm right you have a class in the next 2minutes , I'm going to have to end the call ."This man... what is he? , my timetable?
"Fine , I love you , stay safe please"I blew him a kiss , rising up and heading to my lecture hall , I waved at familiar faces.
"Love you more , I'll call you when I land , bye Kay " He says before ending the call.
I slump into a seat in the lecture hall , noticing a few girls gazing at my ring , I can't help but smirk.That's right , it doesn't matter how far he is , he's chosen you ,that ring should tell you no less..
"Good morning class , how was the weekend?"The Business Administration lecturer came in.
Various voices answered differently.
"It was 'cheesy' "I muttered.***
"That explains why you ain't eating those fries"Sandra glanced at me , a chicken wing in hand.
I rolled my eyes and slumped back in my bed. We had already ended lectures for the day and came back to the hostel.
"I'm just not hungry , it's not about Caesar traveling."I said.
"I see "She chuckled , munching on her food.
I began to think about my parents , they hadn't called me since I left the house , it wasn't quite a surprise , I didn't expect more from them , it'll take long enough before they shove their pride to the side and finally realize we were both wrong at some point. Till then , I wasn't going to let them see me . I cringed in fear of the thought of them never accepting my marriage with Caesar even if years passed by."Kayla , there's a notification.."She absently pointed to my phone next to her plate.
"Well what are you waiting for Mahatma? , come get your phone , my hands are oily"She mumbled ,I sighed and got up for my phone. I returned to bed , just after smacking Sandra on the head.Baby ☺️🏳️🌈♥️🍓:

Hey beautiful , one lesson at a time , I gotta learn from my own mistakes , you know 🤢😇He went offline again and I supposed he was busy once more.
Dammit , I don't not miss him..
Who am I kidding?"Tea?"Sandra offered. I nodded and took the cup , gulping all it's content down with one swallow.
"Whoa Aniya"Sandra laughed.
"Could I get good advice in this state of yours"
"Maybe.."I tapped the side of bed , where she came to sit.
" Paul is cheating"She muttered.
"....Paul is teaching? ,well that's good news!"I gave her a fake smile.
"You know I didn't say that Kayla , don't try to lighten things up I'm done crying , so now I want to fix things..."
"Whoa slow down Bob the builder , you fix what's meant to be fixed."I embraced her.
"I know , but I can't believe it , maybe there's an explanation for this (she shows me a picture of Paul and a woman kissing at a restaurant on campus and screenshots of their messages)..He might.."
"Oh God , bless me with patience"I cut her off , rising up to my feet.
"Kayla , where are you going?"She panicked.
"Want advice? "I put on my sneakers.
"Uhuh..the safe kind"
"Alright then , when a guy cheats , let him know you found out, hurt him with words , then hurt him physically , then forgive him."I smiled.It's funny how you're actually smiling about this Kay , look at the way she's gawking at you.. crazy.
"Huh?"
" Fine , let's skip the first and last and focus on hurting him physically"I put on my jacket .
"No no , we're doing nothing , how about I just break up with him"She looked freaked out.
"Hey calm down I'm not gonna hurt him.." I grimaced pulling her in for a hug.
"...that much"I completed my sentence , making her laugh.
"Trust me , he doesn't deserve you if he went that far"I nudged her arm when she glanced at the picture once more. She nodded , texting him that it was over.
"And doesn't deserve more than a text message , You're right Mahatma"She managed to smile.
"Really Sandy? , you still plan on calling me that?"I playfully glared at her.
"Since I can't call you Mrs Banks for now , I'll hang on to that"She winked.I took off my jacket and sneakers , she stared at me in amusement.
"Where you actually going to his place?"
"What , pffrr!!..no way , that was a show off , I can't beat up the guy Sandra , ever checked his knuckles?!"I scoffed.
"Oh my! , you're right , he has weirdly humongous knuckles Aniya" She cackled.
