It's on Monday ,another day at work, I'm not yet over the weekend but it's work we're talking about here so I had to report to work today plus it's just my second week and I don't want to mess up things .
We spent the better part of weekend doing some cleaning in the house,we did some shopping went for hiking,and Maya went to meet Adrian.
They're still dating,I don't understand why I was never lucky ,or maybe that's why Scott cheated on me. It's not like I'm regretting leaving him and his so called relationship but he couldn't have cheated on me just under my nose. Sometimes I feel so lonely but then I believe the path I chose for myself is the best decision I've ever made.
Scott was not from a well off family and neither was I but the little jobs I got ,I made sure he was comfortable,I sacrificed a lot for him only for him to break my heart as a sign of saying thank you.
Ever since Scott, I hate men not like all men are the same ,but try to understand with me ,if it were you,would you rather forgive your cheating boyfriend and at least be counted among the few people who are in relationships or refuse to forgive him and live your life regretting ever meeting him extending your grudge to every other guy you meet? Well that's your choice and food for thought.
I spend my Sunday bored in the house,I didn't go to church and it's not like I usually go, ever since I lost my family I've never stepped my foot in a church ,maybe I'll go to church one day which is not soon.
So Adrian dropped by to say hi and he picked up his girlfriend, Maya spend the rest of the weekend over at his place and promised to come back today
I watched all movies on my laptop, listened to my whole playlist but still time couldn't move,so I decided to visit my diary and slept off while going through it. I woke up at 5am tired and famished my eyes were puffy and red I guess was crying in my sleep.
Sometimes when I'm alone,I think about my family I miss my mum,she was an angel and she really loved me .I was the first born still in my freshman year in campus, I was my dad's little princess , my younger sister Nova was my copyright she was still in her lower class and my brother Max was in his senior year in highschool he was supposed to join me in college the following year.
I couldn't go back to sleep so I started reminiscing about my past and that's how this dreadful day came into my head.
I remember the day vividly like it was yesterday, I was just of the lecture hall ,after my first class when I got a call from an unknown number and funny enough i still remember how the conversation went
" Hello,I'm doctor Barry calling from KNH, your family were involved in a fatal car accident and are in a critical condition right now I'd suggest you come over"
The words struck me hard and I was left standing on the hall way lost in my own world I was panic stricken I didn't wait to head to my room I just texted Maya and told her the news, boarded a vehicle direct to the KNH .
I guess the doctor only wanted to give me hopes but on my arrival I found my whole family in the morgue they were all dead, my whole world had just shattered in a few hours and I was left all alone. I cried my eyes out but there's nothing else I could do at the moment. I blamed the driver who just drove into their car and made me a total orphan with no parents,no siblings, nowhere else to go. My world had just stopped functioning.
We went back home for burial arrangements ,Maya's family stood by me the whole time ,they were a clear depiction of family and true friendship. After my family Bess laid to rest, we went back to Nairobi, my relatives or the so called uncles took everything my dad left and left me with nothing just my clothes . I had to start form scratch and I always thank God for having Maya and her family they stood by me when no one else was willing to paid my school fee until when I graduated.
It was around 6:30am when I decided to prepare myself for work and here I am seated in my office and in a very foul mood. I'm just having a hard time and right now a hug can do me well.
We talked with Caren and she apologized on behalf of her brother.
To be sincere I don't blame her and I still love her,she's the only person I talk to here at my workplace and the only person I can rely on in case of anything.
It's after lunch and I'm back at my office ,to finish up before I go home.
At lunch, Caren told me everything that goes on in the office,so currently Mr Parker is single but has a girl,who is his fuck mate or friends with benefits that's how I can phrase it, Natalie is his childhood friend and they studied together abroad, I shrink my nose when Caren said they sometimes fuck in the office ,I couldn't imagine they even fucked on the couch I was seated on the other day when I had gone to see Mr Parker.
Why I'm I even jealous of Natalie? Kyle is guaranteed to do whatever he wants with his life and I'm no one to question him, he's a handsome young man who's every woman's dream for a boyfriend and his face flashes in my head when he walked into the guest room bare chest, I couldn't help but drool over his abs . I'm not falling for him and that can't fucking happen not after the disgusting things I heard about him. I'm still in my own world when a call comes through.
Its from Esther, Mr Parker's secretary, she says boss wants to see me in his office immediately and it's urgent . I wonder why he wants to see me or did I do anything wrong?
