"Anne, let me tell you something, boys maybe intelligent but when it comes to feeling they put their head in a gutter, things would be infront of them but they would act blind " the old man said
" u can't deny, u r regretting now, u r thinking if only u had confessed to him before, don't u? " he asked as I looked down
" u know sometimes it better to let go my child " he said again
" let go, I love the guy! it's been years I love him, at first he was just a celebrity crush, but then I realize it's some thing more then that. Every time he's near my heart beat increases, this ticklish feeling is there in the pit of my stomach, and so many feeling I thought happens only in films and stories, I did so much, I trained myself to become a singer, to be equal to him, it's not easy to let go old man!" I said letting my feeling take over me.
" it's never easy to let go, but when u do, it will be worth it. U always chased the guy child, but love is not about that, u never have to chase it, and if he is written in ur destiny believe me no one can change it. "
I remain silent
" do u know the difference between Soulmate and Lover? Soulmate is ur destiny, there is only one soulmate for u, and u r obliged to end up with him, no matter who ur lover is. Love is difficult my child, it never was easy, but once u are with the right one you will have the strength to fight through it. I know first love will always hold a special place in ur heart, but believe me there will be a day when u will find ur Mr. Right and with him u don't have to chase love, it will come to you, and when it does everything will fall into place, and that day u will realize that all those guy you have loved before never really matter, but that doesn't mean it wasn't love, it means u love the guy u r with, more then u loved the other guys. And that's it, he'll be ur destiny. Anne love is not about the new feeling u get, every relationship is different, if u fall for some one else u will see that, the guy is making u feel thing which even this guy didn't make u feel, and as u fall for another different person this will go on. This feelings doesn't mean anything. But when u find the right guy u will get a very special feeling, a feeling that u will realise u cannot get from anyone else, not this guy, not some other guy, no one else. And that's when u should know it's ur Mr. Right, ur soulmate. And u know what u should do once u find out ur soul mate? " he asked with a slow smile and I shook my head
" marry him " he said looking at me still smiling
" what's ur story old man? " I asked him and his smile grew bigger. A glow in his eyes as he seemed to be in a daze
" my story, she was my bestfriend's little sis and I was a play boy u can say "
" I knew it " I said with a grin
" oh yeah? " he asked with a raised eyebrow.
" C'mon, I know u r old but u look like u were the notorious party animal in ur young age " I said with a little grin
" well, u r not wrong, so yeah, there was this party going on, and both of us were drunk, had a good night, started avoiding each other, a guy proposed her she accepted , I felt jealous, went to her house when I knew her parents wasn't there and let's just say her brother was a very heavy sleeper, and then had a very hot night, but mind u I didn't use protection, Intentionally. She got pregnant with my child at 17, my son was the source for me to make her fall for me, but mind u, took me much struggle to make her fall in love with me, and finally when she did fall for me we got married and here I am with one daughter and 2 songls and 3 grand children " he said telling me his story
" preety good huh? " I asked
" yeah but much complicated " he said
" u know I wonder y can't we just have a simple love story with no drama and no complications " I said
" well simple stories never exist, infact simple stories are not so simple any more, it's unique " he said
" yeah " I smiled
" and what's the fun there,think ur children asking u about ur love story and u finish it in 2 lines, Naah! Boring " he said and he was correct
" it's beautiful " I said
" not for everyone " he smiled
" well I think u should head home now it's 8 o'clock, u r soaked, don't want u to fall ill. And if I am not wrong u r drunk " he smile
" thank you, I feel much better " I said
" just don't give up on love little one " he said as he got up and opened his umbrella
" and by the way, my grand son is a big fan of ur " he said
" tell me something I don't know old man " I said genuinely smiling as he gave a soft laughed and started walking shaking his head,tge unopened umbrella in his hand.
I sat there for another 15 minutes thinking about everything the old man said. I don't know y, but his words ring in my ears “just don't give up on love child”. His words gave me hope, hope for finding my Mr. Right “marry him” I recall.
I switched on my phone, I knew Rosé would start shouting at me so I just called Trisha and told her to pick me up giving her the location. I sat there, the rain still pouring on me.
A part of me wanted to let go and find my Mr Right, the one made for me, my destiny. But the other part told me that maybe, just maybe to try once again. But then questions came up in my mind
Will he every look at me the way he looks at Wincy? Will he every watch me like a child watching magic show , amused? Will he every smile everytime he hears my name? Will he every hold my hand the way he held hers? And the biggest question was, will he ever feel for me the way I feel for him?
So many questions I wanted to be answered but still somehow the answers scared me cz I knew I wouldn't like the answers of these questions.
Soon I found Trisha's car park infront of me. She got down with an umbrella in her hand
" my God Anne, u r soaked " she said
" I know "
" u do know u are having ur album release in few days, u can't fall sick Anne " she said with a worried expression
" let's go Trisha " I said getting into the car with stumbling steps
" u r ruinning my car seat " he said
" I'll get u a new car " I said
" I don't want ur money Anne! " she exclaimed. As she started the engine I looked out of the car think about everything the old man said. Isn't it weird, a man u don't even know, gave u a lesson to remember till u die. His words calmed me, gave me hope and somehow provided me with strength to fight the situations I have to face in the future.
Finally we reached infront of our apartment. I opened the door and stumbled a bit as I was about to stand.
" God Anne, I really am tired of always having to babysit you, u r a big girl now " she said glaring.
" Shut. Up" I said
" how many did u have? "
" and u better don't lie " she asked
" maybe 6 or 7 I don't know, and I am not drunk " I said
" un-huh u r not fully drunk but u r drunk, for God's sake u are stumbling " she said huffing
" and u r gonna go home and take a bath, take in some steam, have a hot coffee and no fan for today, other wise u will get I'll, and u know no about the promotions and all " she said
" yes mommy " I said in a bored tone
" Anne I am not joking " she said putting her hands on her hips
" chill women I will follow all ur orders " I said
" yes now c'mon let's go " she said as he held my hand.
Finally when I reached home I found a very pissed off Rosé and a worried Taylon.
"Not today guys Trisha will explain I need some rest I will talk to u tomorrow. " with this I went to my room and took a warm bath as per Trisha. As soon as I got out of the bathroon I found a big bowl of hot water
" get the steam I will bring u coffee " Trisha said I nodded and did as she ordered, plus it was good for my face too. Soon I found a soup bowl in Trisha's hand as stood at the door. I had the chicken soup, and was not in a mood for dinner so I went to sleep. It was a peaceful night for me, all I did was sleeping, no thoughs, no crying only sleep.
The next morning
I woke up feeling like a big elephant sitting on my head
" ughhhhhhh " I shouted
" alcohol does that to u " I saw Rosé standing with a glass of water and aspirin. She hands it over to me and I take no time to get it through my throat.
" Now u r gonna tell me what happened yesterday with Kai, y did u come home soaked to death "
" OK " and the I start telling her everything from café to proposing to the old man and his words.
" girl, I was so worried and u know better than drinking urself till u get drunk " she said hugging me
" everything will be fine "
" I know " I replied
" just use ur brain and don't do it again " she said and that was when I felt a volcano eruption inside me, I run towards the bathroom and emptied my stomach. Finally after confirming I don't throw up anymore I sat down trying to calm myself. I felt someone standing beside me and looked up to find Rosé standing, I looked at her with a bitter glare as I caught her smiling
" Alcohol does that to u dear best friend " she muttered bursting out as a smile formed on my lips.
" I hate you " I muttered
