The Heirs

Andersons' at war

Cinthia's POV
    The lovely chattering of the Andersons and Harrisons over dinner as they celebrated the union of Adrian and I got me bored and sad.

    Was this really all there was to life ; go to college, get a job, get married, give birth, be a parent, then a grandparent, then die.

   Was it really that straightforward, well that was how I had imagined my life to be until I met Harry, he made me start to yearn for something more, those feelings we shared made me believe I could finally get the chance to live out the plans I had made for my life but no his arrival disrupted the whole plans and made them dissolve into air with no signs of them ever coming back.

    After he left, I still find it so hard to move on then I met Richard who I saw as my idol, I chose to get well for him, to love him and end up marrying him, bearing four kids then become grandparents, still going back to the original plan right, yes exactly but it all dissolved immediately Richard said he didn't love me the way I had loved him, then the insecurities came in and they have started to eat me up as I stared mindlessly watching every lady in the restaurant swoon over the man I'm to be married to, yet I can't begin to explain how much I disliked him.

    "What are you thinking again", Pricilia asked me as she slipped her hand into mine before resting her head on my shoulder.

     "I think I'm going to miss you after you guys leave and I get married",I lied not that I have not been thinking about it though.

   "Don't worry I'm just a call away and who says I can't come visiting, I would really miss you so can I have your room",asked Pricilia smiling.

   "You know that's my baby",I smiled easily as I thought of the memories I had in that room of mine.

    "Well it's going to need a new occupant so pretty please let me have it",said Pricilia

   "Why",I asked knowing she had her own room.

   "Well I'm going to miss you when you are married but I wanted to have something I could always have around me to remind me you aren't gone forever",said my cute little sister.

   "Well how can I say no to that face",I remarked smiling.

  "I love you sis",said Pricilia smiling.

   "Love you more always and forever",I smiled happily knowing no matter what happens later, I have God to help me overcome them.

    So life isn't really all about trusting in your plans for your life because sometimes they don't work out, but life is all about trusting God's plans for your life because it's the best for you.

   Though I still have a long way to go but I'm praying for something much more.

   Now's the time to talk to Richard, I thought seeing that everyone was busy talking to one another, Adrianna and Philip behaving somehow agitated to each other, Nikki and Pricilia catching up on some things, Tyler and Kyle busy talking to Dad about something I don't wish to know cos I got a hints it was about football, well Adrian is just being himself as my mom adored him .

   He noticed I was staring at him for too long then he winked at me which I returned with a hard glare before finding my way to see Richard walking to and fro pressing his phone.

    "Hey",I called out as I watched him turned to look at me.

    "It's cold out here, shouldn't you be inside",asked Richard as he placed his coat on me even before I could protest.

    "I was worried about you",I breathed as I watched him smiled.

    "Yeah I know, but you shouldn't be Cinthia listen to me , I know you have feelings for me but I want you to know this fact, you are getting married to Adrian soon, so don't do this to yourself, stop liking me",said Richard
